[Kaminomoto] Hair growth Accelerator

Hey everyone, it's been a long time since I blog my last post.
However, it's time to create another review for hair product :)
PT. Best Brilliant was kindly sent me to try their products and here's the package they sent me..







Inside the package, there are hair growth accelerator, shampoo & conditioner samples and towel.

For now, I'm going to review hair growth accelerator.
Actually, I want to review and post this product earlier. However, I'm trying another hair care products so I decided to use kaminomoto product separately to know the exact result.


Kaminomoto is manufactured in Japan since 1908 and it specifically made to help hair growth.
When a healthy scalp balance is maintained, hair loss doesn't occur. Only when symptoms such as dandruff, itchiness, and greasy scalp could create hair loss.
A key solution for the problem is to take care of hair properly. As you need skin care for your face to create flawless skin, you'll need hair care to maintain healthy hair.



The guides and some info of the products are written in both english and chinese.




Main Ingredients
Sophora Radix (kujin-extract) and Isodonis Japonicus (enmeiso-extract)
Rosemary extract
Glycyrrhetinic acid (kanzo-extract)
Hinokitiol (Hinoki-extract)
Neo-Takanal:
Capsicum Frutescens
Allantoin
Panthenol
Pyridoxine HCl





Packaging
The design packaging is simple but not too attractive. The material is made from glass, so it's kinda heavy but durable.



However, i like this part which made the liquid come out drop by drop.


Scent
This product doesn't have special scents which is good or bad. Though it contains medicinal plants (kujin, enmeiso, rosemary, and kanzo), i can only smell its medicine scent a bit after application on my hands.
At first, I worry my hair will smells bad after application, but that doesn't occur. My hair doesn't produce any scent after application.

Texture
Watery and easy to apply. Just put generous amount of the liquid and use all over your scalp (I use about 2-3 teaspoon on my scalp).
I suggest to apply it little by little, rather than pour huge amount of the liquid (because liquid can dry easily).




Effects
After about 1 month application, I can feel more of new (baby) hair coming out, which means this product could help to achieve thicker hair.
Also, this product helps me to reduce my dandruff, fall out and doesn't create side effects for hair, such as dry/oily/dandruff..


Overall,
PROS
+ helps my scalp to be more healthy (reduce dandruff and fall out hair)
+ the scent is okay considering it's made from medicinal plants
+ easy to apply
+ Help hair growth

CONS
- After apply all liquids with my hand, I can finally smell slightly the "medicine" scent on my hand
- The packaging kinda heavy, not practical for traveling.


Kaminomoto products can be found at Century and Guardian (all over Indonesia). Also, you can purchased it online at Lazada and Perfect Beauty.
To me, considering this product proves what its offer, I think buying this product is worth it.


Thanks for reading,
have a good day :)

[Lucido-L] Hair Vitamin for dry hair

Hello~
Finally after some hectic days preparing this and that for my fashion show (other than doing my primary job as a college student), I have more time to properly blog again :')

Today I have 2 hair products that I wanted to share.
Both of them is coming from the same brand, Lucido-L.
They have 3 choices based on types of hair, the one that I picked is for Dry Hair, since my hair is very damaged because of smoothing 1 year ago :')
*note: damaged hair can make hair easily dry.


First, Lucido-L Hair Vitamin Oil for Dry Hair.



The liquid is in form of oil, so it slides very quickly when I try to drop it on my hand. It can also absorp well into my hair after application.



See the picture below? this is a comparison before and after when I test the vitamin oil on my super dry hair :( I'm using 1/2 pump to achieve the 'after' picture.

The effect after using this product for few months: 
It really helps me to at least make my hair better (not really dry), but it's not that super awesome that can always make my hair smooth everyday. The effect after applying this vitamin oil after I wash my hair can be directly felt. Before (without using the oil), when I comb my hair, sometimes the comb get stuck, but if I apply the vitamin oil, my hair is very smooth and I can combed easily.
In my case, usually I only apply the vitamin oil (including vitamin spray) once in every 2 days (only when I wash my hair).






Second, Lucido-L vitamin spray.


The after effect of this spray is not as amazing as the vitamin oil. When I spray it to my wet hair, I still feel that my hair didn't change. However after my hair is dry, finally I can feel that my hair is smooth~
Therefore, the effect will be feel only when your hair isn't wet.

The long term effect for this item is more or less the same with vitamin oil :3



Anyway, I think that those 2 are a great product, considering the price which is very reasonable (about IDR 35,000 or $3) :) I recommend this hair product for those who want to have a good and healthy hair.


Thanks for reading! :)

[L-email] Red+black punk lolita wig

As I promised, today's entry will be about review~
The wig is from L-email taobao
Actually, I order a pink+purple gradient wig but instead of that wig, they sent me this red+black gradient wig -___- 
Basically, I could wear this wig for punk/gothic coordinate, but my fashion style are more into lolita. At last, I never wear this wig and finally I decided to sold them..
More or less, my review for the wig will be similar with this post. However, I'll just add some important information..

Anyway, the length for this hair is approximately 65cm.




As usual taobao wig, they came with a plastic bag.
Also, for this wig it consist a curly long base wig and 2 clip on (as the twin tails)




 (base only)

(with the twintail clip on)


For a person who aren't a fan of red (like me), I actually don't like the color of the red part. It's like the color of red chilli which is super light O_O

(Front)

The bangs are already styled, so you won't need to cut it by yourself~ Moreover, I also love the curly sides. Overall, I think the wig styling is great.




See the middle part of the wig? Yes, it's looks like the scalp of real hair, which is the good side of this wig.




See the differences of the pictures above? OMG, with flash it really shows that the wig is SUPER fake TT^TT However, in indoor room (no direct sunlight or flash) this wig won't look too shiny.


more information, please check this link for my review

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, let's jump to my conclusion..

PROS
+ Affordable (only 98 yuan if I'm not mistaken)
+ The cap is big enough (because I have thick hair & this wig still fits perfectly to my head)
+ Good styling
+ There's a scalp (not many wigs have it)

CONS
- Considered heavy when I wear it with the clip on
- Rather easy to fall out, so it needs extra care
- Rather shiny/looks like a wig


Do I recommend it?
Not really, you better buy from another store. However, if you only have very limited budget, you can consider to buy wig from this store. However, beware you'll experience the same thing as me, they sent me a wrong wig. lol.


Thanks for reading <3
Have a nice day :)

[Lucaille] 100cm blonde wig

Hi everyone~
It's been a long time since I post my last review about wig x3
Actually there's some of my new wigs which is waiting to be reviewed. hahaha.
Finally, here's my thought about my wig which I bought from taobao store, Lucaille.
The price is 100 yuan (around $10), but I bought it for $24 after I count with shipping price, agent fee, etc..



Taken from a video by Agnicom. Edited by me.



The packaging only comes with a plastic bag, just like other taobao wig stores.


•  Color : Real products and the picture's website is really similar. I'm really satisfied with the color, because the color is really nice.


Thickness : The thickness is just perfect, not too thin or thick. The cap can't be seen and the volume of the hair made it looks like a normal hair.

Smoothness : The smoothness is similar to real hair. However when the wig is tangled, anti frizz and comb won't be enough. So, it's very hard to maintain the smooth :X I think if it's just 80 cm long it will be fine. As you can see on the photo, the tangled part is only at the bottom and the middle is alright.
Also, when I comb it and collecting the fallen hair, it's a handful of my hand. I don't know what did I do to my wig previously on the event until I can't fix this tangled part .__.

Cap : It fits perfectly to my head. For those who have big head like me or long hair, I think this wig will suits you.

Fiber : They use kanekalon fiber as the materials to make this wig. You can iron the wig if you want to :) Other than that, the fiber is good enough so it doesn't flashy/looks fake when I wear it.


and the last part,
My photo when I wore the wig XD

-----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------


So, here's my conclusion..

PROS
+ Big cap
+ Not look flashy
+ Real product similar to the picture's website
+ Heat resistant
+ Light (My head doesn't really heavy when I wore it)
+ Looks like human hair

CONS
- Easy to tangled (because it's really long)
- Not really suitable to use it outdoor, because it can be super messy
- Hard maintenance


Repurchase?
No. i don't think I'll buy 100 cm wig anymore. Actually Lucaille is one of my favorite wig shop. However, I admit this wig is not as good as I thought *sigh*


Rating = 6/10
*If you search long wigs, in my opinion cosroom still much more better than Lucaille


Thanks for reading,
have a nice day :)

[Aquadoll] Long Wavy Curl 005 AB

So, it's my first time to buy a Japan Wig and I'm really exciting to try this new wig xD

Yea, maybe you knew Japan Wig is popular and usually have a GREAT quality. But, the price is expensive.

The great news is, I get a discount price from Aquadoll! So it's only half price of the original.
I'm SOOO HAPPY *crying happily*

Alright, Back to the topic! xD

So, I got this wig from Hazelnutz Cawaii and the delivery time is only 7-10 days until it arrived at my home. The owner is nice and she neatly packaged my wig.







 The wig came with a plastic bag. I really this bag, it's really convenient to use. Maybe price can't lie about it's design and packaging xD hahaha.



Instruction on how to use and tips <3




Among all choice of color and hair model, finally this was my decision :)
Long rich curl wave 005 in Ash brown





My first impression when using this wig were:

"Oh my God, this is so smooth :") I super fall in love with this wig <3"

"Now I know the quality of Japan wig, it's totally different with taobao wig"

"I feel I'm a different person when wearing this wig, maybe people can see me as a Japanese girl xD"

Okay,, honestly I'm really freaking out after receiving the wig.
But, just forget about that xD



Let's jump to my review about this wig.

> Color = The color that you see on the website is rather different with the real one. The real color of this wig is a slightly dark. However, I think the color is nice too.



> Thickness = This wig is thin, but the cap can't be seen by others. However, if the wig gets messy, I think people will notice the wig cap and they will know that actually I'm wearing a wig.



>  Smoothness = I think people shouldn't doubt about it's quality of smoothness. This wig is really smooth and easy to maintain. Also, sometimes I can't comb some of my curly wigs, because once I do it then the curly will be ruined and it's become messy. But, it's not happening to this wig, I can freely comb it whenever I want and the wavy still in a good condition.

>  Cap = The cap is one of the CONS. I think, people with small heads can fit into this wig perfectly. However, I have a rather big head, so even though this wig still fits my head, but I can feel that the wig is a little bit tight and can't cover all of my hairnet.

> Fiber = I think almost all japanese wig using japanese kanekalon fibre. Of course the fibre is awesome and I think taobao's fibre still lose from japanese. Other than that, the wig can be ironed easily and I never worry to restyle this wig









In short, here's my conclusion..

PROS
 light (I don't feel heavy when wearing this wig)
Super smooth
Easy to style
Doesn't tangled nor fall out
Natural & not flashy (like human hair)

CONS
Expensive
Hard to buy from Indonesia
Small cap


Repurchase?
Yes, but only when I have enough money. LOL


Rating = 9.5/10
*I don't give a full mark because of the cap size :(


Thanks for reading, have a great day :)

Japanese Hairstyle Trend

Recently, I've been looking through some taobao websites, especially for lolita and wigs. But, it's only for looking the new trends and also inspirations for my drawing.
After looking some shops, my temptation to buy some wig was began, eventhough I've commit not to buy anything for these 2 month ;;w;;
and these were some pictures of the wig I'm falling in love <3










Currently, so many wig shops selling this kind of wig. After looking at some shops and doing some research, I found that this hairstyle are popular in Japan. Some people may say that this kind of hairstyle are called AMO.
Some people dye their hair to have this hairstyle, but I still prefer buying wigs because I'm afraid that my hair will be dry after bleaching.


I'll share some information for you guys <3 here is some taobao shops that sells AMO wig ~

And also, if you like to shop on Japan store, you can also check Aqua Doll . They have some nice gradient/AMO wigs too :)
A little preview~




Do you love this kind of hair ? Tell me your opinion~ 
Have a good day everyone :)

[Ghostcos] 70 cm peach curly wig

If you often buy a wig at taobao store, you’ll found that the name of the wig will be in Chinese, so I oftenly make a name in English based on the color&length or a character which suits the wig. And to be honest, I’m not really good on reading Chinese, that’s why I can hardly remember the name of a wig that I bought :P LOL.

Since some year ago, Ghostcos have been released many 80 cm curly wigs with different colors, but I chose peach color among those choices (from what I remember, the length of this wig is 70 cm). If you have read my previous review about ghostcos, you will found that I will never buy a wig from that store anymore. But, actually this wig was bought together with my 80 cm pink wig.
Recently, when I searched for this item at ghostcos, I don't find it anymore. But there's another similar wig, which is (in my opinion) the color was same, but the price was more cheaper and the length is 80cm. Here's the LINK




So, about my review of this wig..

> Color: I really love the color, because it has a nice pastel color. When I wore this wig, it doesn’t looks strange (doesn’t make people will look at me with horrible eyes).

(indoor lightning. The real color was similar as this photo)

> Smoothness : Like my other ghostcos wig, it’s smooth.

> Hair Volume : It’s not thick, in other words this wig is thin. When I wore this wig, my friend always said to me that on the back side of my head, the net (color=white) were shown, eventhough she stand far away from me and I always try to fix it. But sadly, later the net can be seen  again)

> Styling: the curly is rather wavy which I totally love this style. But it’s rather hard to maintain the curly since take care of a curly wig is harder than a straight wig.

(Outdoor Lightning) 

> Fibre : It stated in the website, they use kanekalon fiber which can be ironed up to 180 Celcius. To me, the fibre looks better than my straight wig, but it's still a little bit shiny (because it's still a wig). A great news from this wig is: it’s not easily tangled, unlike the other wig which I oftenly got complain from my friend (including me).


PROS:
-) Nice color
-) Smooth
-) Nice curly
-) heat resistant
-) Not easily tangled

CONS:
-) Thin
-) The treatment is rather hard
-) Pricey ( the price was around ¥95, but considering the quality it’s better to buy lucaille wig with the same price)

Rating: 5/10 (Still not great, but it’s better than the 80cm pink wig)


Btw, I’ve notice there’s only a few comments on my post. It doesn’t mean that I need all of my post to be commented, but if you want to ask a question related to the products (review) or a post that relates to Lolita, please don’t be afraid to ask that to me, because I won’t bite you if you ask a question/give opinion/comment something xD
So, that’s all for today. See ya :D

[Cosroom] Kyoko Sakura wig

Hi everyone xD Recently, I haven't post reviews about wig. But, now I decide to post another wig review, because I notice some people around me, kept searching or asking for review about some wig brand. I hope this review will be helpful :D

Have you heard a taobao's brand called cosroom? If you haven't, I think next time if you are looking for wig and confuse where to buy it, you can consider cosroom.

And here's the review about a wig from cosroom. Actually, I don't know the exact name of the wig from the store, but I called Kyoko Sakura wig because from the details product, it says that this wig can be used for Kyoko Sakura from anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica.


(Source: google)


SO, to the review :D

> Fibre = Same like other taobao's store, it used kanekalon fiber and can be ironed up to 180 Celcius degree. But, the differences lies on the smoothness and strength of the wig which is not fragile to fall out.

> Smoothness = I super in love with the smooth that this wig had, because I think it's soft and the smooth is just perfect (not excessive)

> Cap = medium to large size. It can suits perfectly for any people who have short/medium/long hair and thick/thin hair. Actually, I think for the cap it's similar to cc kids's cap.

> Thickness = Super AWESOME TTwTT I never find a wig that have thick hair and not so easy to fall out. One thing that I admire from this wig is eventhough it's long (I think the clip about 80 cm), when I comb it I only found around 5 piece of the hair which is fall out. Is it really awesome ? :')

> Treatment = Super easy to take care of this wig <3 When I used it to an event, because the event is outdoor so the wig is tangled. Then when i arrived at home, I comb it for several times and it's so easy back to normal shape.

> Price = Rather pricey. The price is similar like my cc kids lolita brown wig.

If you notice, almost all of my comments shows the good side. lol xD But, actually that's an honest opinion from me. Some thing that I can notice as the CONS for this wig are only the wig's collection from cosroom is very few and it's rather pricey.


I don't have pictures that shows the wig in general, but I have some photos when I wore it. (At that time, my friend accompany me and she's the one who became homura akemi)


 (Credits to Kamego)



(Camwhoring xD )


I do hope they will produce more various wig, because the quality is just so awesome :D

Rating: 10/10


See you on my next post, and have a good day ;)
