SUPER MILD Shampoo + Conditioner

Hey-oh!  

So a couple of weeks ago I finally used up my old Umi seaweed shampoo (I posted on it before here).

Winter really dries out hair, and I usually use a straightener for my bangs and blowdry on medium heat...so

the ends of my hair are completely parched!

I heard a lot of good things about Super Mild Shiseido, so I got my hands on some at the local Asian market.  (Again I'd recommend you check yours if there's one nearby, it's way cheaper than 

purchasing it online and paying for shipping, the wait, etc.)  

They had the green kind - it smells really nice, the scent's VERY light and not 

overwhelming at all.  It's fruity and just a little sweet, I've heard it's the "sporty scent"
while the pink-label bottles are the "floral scent". c:  IMO this one seems unisex
(but my boyfriend thinks it smells feminine and relaxing). 

Super Mild refill packs from Mitsuwa market

(sorry for the bad pictures, lighting was awful!)

I bought the refill packs and just refilled two of my old shampoo-conditioner bottles.

They have the actual bottle which looks like this:

(conditioner is the white top, shampoo's the green top)

but I wanted to be sure I liked it before I bought the bottles (they're a little more pricey).

Reusing helps the environment anyway!

It's supposed to be a very mild (hence the name) shampoo and conditioner, suitable 

for all hair types, and very very gentle on your hair.  The water in San Diego's very hard, which means

there's a high mineral content which has harsh effects on hair (not to mention skin).  

I've been using it for two weeks (3rd week now) and my hair's a lot sleeker looking, with 

very few flyaways/frizzies. (I used to have a ton of those, especially the baby hairs around my 

forehead - no more!)  My hair looks a lot more relaxed, shiny, and smooth.  I also haven't had

residue problems or over-greasiness from the conditioner - I just use a halfsquirt and concentrate 

it mostly at the ends and 3/4 of the way up my hair (I skip my scalp because my hair's sufficiently

oily, and the shampoo's moisturising enough for the top of my head).  Best of all, even though it's made

my hair more moisturised-looking, it does an amazing job cleaning my hair...I've been washing

every other day now and I think that's helping make a big difference with my hair's health.

Short story:  I heard nothing but good things about this shampoo and I can vouch for it now! c:

I have curly, fine, medium-dry hair, but like I said it seems to be ok for all hair types.

I would recommend this for people whose hair tends to gather buildup or is overly greasy/sensitive, or has

been through a lot of pretty rough treatment (heat, blowdry, straightening/curling).  

I'm not sure if it's safe for colored hair, but it seems gentle enough to be okay.  

It's also apparently great for kids!
