Hi! Assalamualaikum. As you guys can see from the title, it has been awhile since my hair care review. So today, let’s talk about a hair oil. It is not an easy task to care your hair as much as skin care. Beauty is pain you guys! It takes a lot time, effort and money. And somehow at certain point, it disappoints you as the products does not work wonder as you expect it to be. So today, I want to share a product that I fell in love recently – Lucido-L Hair Vitamin Oil.

[Review]

Lucido-L

Triple Beauty Vitamin Oil | For Damaged Hair

Lucido- L is a brand from Japan, the packaging always catches my attention and I have been using their Hair Spray for years now. Before this I used other hair sprays, but I really hate how typical hair spray smell, and usually it’s really suffocating. Then one day, I bought Lucido-L hair spray then I fell in love and keep buying it ever since. So since lately, I kind of noticed my hair grew to be quite drying just how my skin turns out. It feels coarse and frizzy. For your information, I have never bleached my hair neither I have ever colour it all – not as of today. So the damaged might be because of hair curlers, blow drying or even maybe because of my diet – lack of water and etc.

So it is come to my attention that I need a hair oil, something that can moisturize my hair long enough, something that could stick to my hair, help it to repair and absorb well. Usually I stay away from hair oil, because often they only coated my hair but it did not absorb INTO the hair. So later then, it will feel really greasy and oily. Serious tak best! So I watched a few review and decided to give it a try.

-What It Claims: “Non-sticky feeling, Non rinse, Light Floral fragrance. Triple Vitamin Oil (A, C and E) with combination of Olive Oil and Mositurizing Agent help to make your damaged hair become Shiny, Smooth and Moist Hair”

Ingredients: Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethiconol, Dipehnysiloxy phenyl trimethicone, fragrance, phytosteryl/octyldodecyl, lauroyl glutamate, tocopheryl acetate, helianthus annuus (sunflower) Seed Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) fruit oil, glycine soja (soya bean) oil, retinyl palmitate, ascorbyl palmitate, tocopherol.

How to Use It:

After shampooing your hair, tower-dried and apply the product. Focus mainly on hair tips and re-apply if needed.

Personal Review:

Usually, I kind of avoid oil stuff for my hair, because those, the hair oils that I tried, they do not absorb well and often they just ‘coated’ my hair with the oil. Therefore, it does look quite greasy and I didn’t see any changes. I can see that this one absorb quite well.

One thing I have noticed straightway since my first impression of the product, it make my hair dry faster. Personally, Vee prefer to air dry my hair rather than using a hair dryer – to avoid damaging my hair, but since my hair quite thick so it hard to do so. Usually, I take hours and hours in a day to get my hair totally air dry. But this somehow amazingly make my hair dry even faster, just some part of this thick hair of mine (usually those underneath hair) that needed hair dryer but yet again, I don’t need to spend so much time on drying all of my hair. It just makes everything easier!

It does make my hair look shiny and smoother as it claims to be. I like how it makes my hair look, it feels so soft and smooth – I just want to play with my hair. But I can still see my hair a bit frizzy and dryness at the tips – that maybe need time to repair. As it claims, it is non-sticky neither greasy, but if your natural hair is quite oily you need to mind how much you put on your hair since it is oil-based. I would suggest start small, and re-apply whenever you feel your hair is unmanageable, so you won’t make it too much just enough for your hair needs.

Another plus point! I love the scent, it has floral scent but not too much, because heavy fragrance hair products always makes my head dizzy, but this one, I would say it just nice.

Overall opinion:

Do I like it? Yes, LIKE LIKE LIKE. Will I re-purchase it? Definitely! Do I recommend it? Yes! It’s really cheap too!

Before entering the event hall, we were allowed to play with this vending machine. All we need to do is to answer few simple questions regarding to our hair concern, then it will give sample that suited with your hair. And the result shampoo for me is Smooth & Manageable. Yeayyy! My favourite colour! When we go inside the hall, it looked so spacious, a stage, lots of booth, and there is candy booth too!

There are eight (8) booth which representing of each their new line up! And I will take you to each booth! Okay first, we go to Perfect Straight booth. Perfect Straight Booth represent Purple Colour. This product is also co-created with Yuko Yamashita, Sunsilk Perfect Straight is an advanced product formulated with Straight-Lock Technology, it penetrates deep within the hair fibre which aligns and holds hair fibres beautifully straight as it dries*, right from the shower. Here in this booth, they provided Perfect Straight games in which one need to have steady hand pulling the rod without touching the straight steel within 30 seconds! And I made it!!

Start!!

Focus Focus Vee!

I won! Less than 30 seconds!

I received this as prize! =)

Next booth is, Lively Clean and Fresh posed with Green Colour. Co-Created with Francesca Fusco, created Lively Clean and Fresh which enriched with Vitamin Citrus Complex, this variant is created to remove build-up of excess scalp sebum, whilst refreshing it in just one wash! This products targeted specifically to girls who wear hijab for comfort wearing with healthy hair. Booth Clean and Fresh offer free shawl and Hijab tutorial. Since I’m not wearing one, I just skip this one and give opportunity to others =)

Then, I went to Soft and Smooth Booth, where they run tests called Swim or Sink test. This test aimed to show differences between damaged hair and repaired hair with Soft and Smooth Products. The products is co-created with Thomas Thaw and it comes with Shampoo, Conditioner and Treatment. It is infused with a unique blend of 5 natural oils that works in 2 ways, which penetrates into the hair to deeply nourish the driest part of your hair and creates a protective layer that helps keep the nourishment inside your hair.

In the Swim test, both same hair are tied in knot and both swim simultaneously. Surprisingly, the one that swim with Soft and Smooth products detangle by itself. Whoaaa!

While in the Sink test, both water are simply just water, both hair are damaged hair. But, one has been through treatments of Soft and Smooth products and another is left as it is. As result, the damaged one sink while the repaired one stay afloat.

This time, I went to my favourite booth! Smooth and Manageable! Pink Pink Pink! It has PINK SWINGS! It soooo cute! =) Here we can take pictures and upload it to our Instagram accounts to win a chance of lucky draw. Here are my pictures. Smooth and Manageable comes with four products, which are Shampoo, Conditioner, Treatment and Leave-On Cream. Sunsilk Smooth and Manageable Shampoo contains Keratin Yoghurt NutriComplex co-created with Yuko Yamashita which that tames fluffy hair and shields it against harsh environments, making hair smooth, aligned and under control during the day, and infused with a unique blend of 5 natural oils that deeply nourish your hair without making it greasy or limp.

Anti-Dandruf with represented with Blue Colour is infused with ZPT Citrus Complex, it purifies the scalp to eliminate dandruff and protects hair's natural condition from dryness and help restores dandruff-free* scalp and beautiful hair. Here at this booth, we were allowed to play “Clean the Dandruff" from an application in Ipad. Sadly, I was unable to win, it need 350 points to get a prize. But it’s okay! The knowledge about the products is more valuable. Too oily scalp is also not a good thing for your hair, it also can build up dandruff, but dryness scalp will produce flaky and snowy dandruff in which it is much harder to handle. Remember! Not to wash your hair very often and use shampoo that suited your needs to prevent such thing happened to your hair.

Then, I went to Hairfall Solution and Damage Restore Booth. One with Gold colour and Orange. These two products share the same booth. But first let’s go about the products.
