I went to my local Asian market and saw that
Soo-Ae came out with a new Shampoo and Treatment set. I was soooo happy especially since I was already using the conditioner on occasion and loved it. Imagine my surprise when I saw this. Not to mention the packaging was phenomenal.
The shampoo and conditioner are very creamy and it gets the job done. I have an oily scalp so with just one rinse I can feel that my scalp and hair are clean. However, I don't get that stripped feeling. I really REALLY love the smell too. After a few days my hair still smells like
Soo-Ae. I also like that the ingredients are all natural.
It says, "Soo-Ae Zin Shampoo/Treatment
Korean Traditional Remedy
High chitin manufactured by the patent technology"
Some of the ingredients listed are:
"chitin, black garlic, 17 amino-compound, red ginseng, and keratin. This set claims to promote blood circulation, strengthen the hair, protect the hair from the harmful environment, and prevent hair loss." I wash my hair every 3 to 4 days because I have an oily scalp; sometimes I'll wash it every day depending on how active I am or if it smells bad because I went to a BBQ the day before or something. hahaha Anyway, after using
Soo-Ae a couple of times I have to say I am very impressed. My hair hasn't felt better. In fact, it reminds me of how my hair feels after using Komenuka Bijin: light, moisturized, and smells heavenly.
So...is the
Soo-Ae Zin Premium Set my new staple product or will
Komenuka Bijin
remain as my staple hair product? I don't know yet. They both work wonders for me. Though both are all natural,
Komenuka Bijin
's main ingredient is rice (also seaweed, ginseng, and collagen) while
Soo-Ae's main ingredient is chitin.
Komenuka Bijin
is a Japanese company while
Soo-Ae is a Korean company.
Komenuka Bijin
promotes hair growth while
Soo-Ae prevents hair loss.
Soo-Ae isn't that accessible so that's the ONLY downside. I can't purchase it online; only at my Asian market. However, I can purchase
Komenuka Bijin
online. Honestly, it's a tie because I've never used products that have worked so well with my hair and have achieved such exceptional results. I know this for a fact, I don't have a need to experiment with any other shampoo or conditioner. The search is OVER! For now I will be alternating between
Komenuka Bijin
and
Soo-Ae! .-_-
is one of the best products I've ever used for my hair and has become a staple in my hair care regimen. It is extremely thick and creamy and a little goes a very long way. It is also good for smoothing the hair so if I have to pull it back in a ponytail, a little bit of the product will achieve a good amount of smoothness. All the ingredients are natural and are plant based with essential oils. Paraben free and not tested on animals, this is a great product for all types of hair especially dry hair.I use this product to smooth my hair, moisturize damp hair, and moisturize my hair in between washes!
