Giving Kao Asience a second chance with Shine Therapy Hair Care

April 7, 2011 Paris B 15 Comments

I was offered the opportunity to try the Kao Asience Shine Therapy hair care range a while ago. Not having success with the Asience Inner Shine range, I was a little apprehensive. Would it kill my hair? It took me a while to steel myself enough to actually use it.

You might have seen this range in the local pharmacies already. The pink bottles are hard to miss.

Happily, I will tell you that this range of Asience Shine Therapy hair care did NOT kill my hair. Well, it did not spin my hair into straw at any rate.

Like the Inner Shine line (yellow bottles), Shine Therapy has a strong scent. Its that sort of floral scent that lingers and you either love it for giving you that just washed feel, or hate it for being too scented. My advise is to take a big hearty sniff before buying.

The shampoo isn’t very runny and I found that it lathers up quite well with just a little, and it cleans the hair quite well too. The conditioner and treatment are quite similar for me. They are both thick and both leave your hair feeling quite tangle free. As they all smell alike, you might expect the rather strong scent to remain on your hair after washing.

I used these shampoos straight for about a month, and I did not notice my hair drying out which was very fortunate. My hair was nice and manageable, but I did not notice it being any shinier. This Shine Therapy range is also targeted “damaged, dull & brittle coloured, rebonded or permed hair”. In other words, hair that has been chemically treated.

I can’t say its been amazing for my hair, but it wasn’t bad either. The only fly in the ointment is that after a month’s use straight, I discovered my hair dropping a little more than usual. I didn’t use anything else in the interim so I’m guessing this range might have contributed to the hair loss, so I’ve stopped using it for a while now.

Pros: Inexpensive, Hair feels clean, smooth and tangle free

Cons: Scent is rather strong, Appeared to contribute to my hair loss

I do like how this line detangles my hair without it drying out the way Deep Nourish/Inner Shine did, so what I still do sometimes, is use the shampoo and conditioner once in a while. This way, I figure there is no build up, and there won’t be excess hair loss 🙂 Also, I will actually use it up 😛

Have you tried this one? Does it work for you?

Paris B

The Kao Asience Shine Therapy shampoo and conditioner retails at RM14.90/220ml and RM26.80/530ml and the Treatment retails at RM26.80/180g at most major pharmacies and supermarkets.

      Thing is, I don’t have a hair loss problem! Hence my concern when my hair started dropping more than usual after using this one. Sorry I can’t help with hair loss cures.

    So Paris, I was just wondering, what are the shampoo’s, conditioner’s and hair treatment’s that you do like and would recommend to people? I am currently using the whole of Pureology Super Straight Line and let me tell you, it ain’t doing anything magic to my hair except making the $$ in my checking account become less and less as 1 bottle of the stuff costs RM100+. I always get suckered in by brand names. *sigh*

      I haven’t tried Pureology although I have heard a lot of good things about it too. So sorry it didn’t work for you since its pricey 🙁 I usually have quite good luck with normal off the shelf hair care. I liked Dove when I was using it, so I might go back to that one. On the other end of the scale, I really like Kerastase hair treatments and I’m thinking of trying their regular hair care (Redken doesn’t work for me though). I still haven’t found a brand/hair care product that I love so much I have to get everyone to try it so I’m really still looking myself 😀

    I was with mum at Watsons last week and I saw them. Mum said she wanted to try them after we’re done with our shampoo in the bathroom. But if it could lead to hairloss, don’t think I’d be interested! Lol! 😀

    my hair falls a lot, particularly in the shower. for me the only shampoo/conditioner set that worked at keeping it not falling out all the time is the John Frieda Root Awakening (green tube) for Breakage Prone hair. however it’s not super moisturizing and while my hair fell out less and it’s not DRYING, it also didn’t make my hair as shiny as other asian brands does :\ not sure if you can find this shampoo over at where you are though, but in US it’s pretty cheap (around $5 a bottle).

    i’m looking for a good asian brand that works at keep hair ON my head. any recs? :\

      I don’t think we get John Frieda here but I haven’t had a lot of luck with Asian brand hair care to be honest!

    i used the inner shine rage before, how to describe the smell… kind of like flora and close to “Indian” smell???
    the result just so so… i thought will be amazing just like the model appear in the advertisement. Nowadays i switch to hand&shoulder so far so good… my hair actually treated well… i am still using hair&shoulder hair fall rage…i think is because of sunflower seed oil maybe ^^

    I tried these range and hated them the first time. Went back to tsubaki. But after deciding to give asience another go, to my surprise they seem to work and hair looks better with more volume. I’m confused now haha..

    Bought tsubaki by accident and am loving it!!! Not gonna buy that Scwarkopf (can’t spell) anymore… hahaha… that giant conditioner costs me RM110 per bottle~~
    The fragrance of the Tsubaki conditioner stays for a loooong time, which I like 🙂

    glad that this ascience line worked out for ya! I still have samples of the gold one~~ improved formula of course… yet to try them out as their first ones made my hair horribly dry

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜

Place your order, and pick up in store or have it delivered. 
Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
