NatureLab. TokyoPerfect Clean Dry Shampoo

Most Helpful Positive Review

I was impressed!

This is a longer review so buckle in! I'm someone who has worked in beauty retail for over six years, and has been using as many hair products as I can get my hands on lately so I can also be familiar with more haircare brands and because I take pride in my hair's health. The Sake Rinse by Nature La...b Tokyo can be used by itself or you can combine it with the use of your favorite shampoo for a double cleansing day, and I decided to use it both ways before writing my review. Another thing that makes this product unique is the fact that it is meant to be a ph balancing formula, which can help with your scalp's health. I noticed immediately in the shower that this made my hair feel instantly smoother during application as I was rubbing it into my scalp, thanks to the rice water ingredient. This product is especially great for people who experience a dry or itchy scalp. I'm one of those people, if I have my hair up in a tight style (and to be honest I do most days that I leave the house, so my hair is out of my face), then my scalp gets itchy from the tension. So using this in a shower helped my scalp feel less itchy after a long day. When I used it by itself, I was impressed that it still managed to cut through a few days of grease build up in my hair, and helped cut my hair shedding down from the normal amount I get with most traditional shampoos. It also kept the grease from my roots for a two to three days (longer if I braided my hair between washes). I am deducting one star because the smell wasn't my favorite (this is because I'm not personally a fan of the smell of fermented ingredients, and I felt that was pretty strong in this product) and was pretty overwhelming when used by itself. But this product does what is advertised, so I can't hold the smell against it too much. The day that I used this by itself and not followed up with a different shampoo, the smell definitely lingered in my hair for more than 24 hours, and I kept smelling it whenever I would flip my hair out of the way. But when I used a scented shampoo after using this rinse, my hair smelled like the shampoo I used instead, so smell was no longer a problem for me. (Also note that the hair shedding not being as much as usual, only happened when I used this scalp rinse by itself. If that is something your are interested in for your in shower haircare, try this product out.) Overall I'm happy with the results of this product and will recommend it to others who are trying to help their scalp health. It doesn't hurt to try new products, and this is something unique in my opinion that a lot of people might not have thought to try before. **This review was created through an educational promotional event hosted between the brand and beauty experts.**
