I was so thrilled to discover it's my favourite shampoo. But this is no ordinary shampoo okay. This is a shampoo made from horse oil.
When the bestie was at an onsen during her Japan trip, she chanced upon this hair product, fell in love and bought it despite its hefty price-tag for a shampoo.
She then very sweetly gave me some to sample. There's no looking back. It was love at first sight. Naturally, I've been raving about it ever since.
Apparently, horse oil is a popular ingredient in the Japanese folk remedy for hundred of years. Due to its strong moisturizing properties, it is also used in beauty products to treat dry hair or skin.
After a week of using the shampoo, the texture of my hair is indeed softer to touch. And there seems to have a shine to it too. Or was it the light reflecting??
But what really wooed me was its scent. I cannot put my finger on what fragrance it actually is. Could it be lavender? I really can't tell. Its sweet gentle scent soothes me each time I catch a whiff of it from my hair. I love it that the perfume lingers all day long. It clings to the clothes and to the pillow case. I am now hooked. If I can help it, I avoid using hair products or perfume to not mask the scent.
With our lives now taking a new direction, I guess a calming agent such as this to hush my fears and worries (not forgetting the joy and excitement) is in order. Obviously, the bestie shares my sentiment too.
So months ago, she quietly got my poison through her colleague who went to Japan. Ain't she thoughtful?
