As you may know, my quest to grow a luxurious mop of hair that rivals Rapunzel is slowly but surely, coming to fruition. My sister always used to use this shampoo and I honestly never believed the hype about it. I always used whatever was on sale, or what the blog sphere recommended. However, with a bad stint of an at home hair dye, I took the plunge and squirted a bit of my sister beloved child and have never looked back.
The only one who buys this for us is my mother. I don't know how to get this except maybe some Korean beauty shops that you my have around your neighborhood. I never try to get this myself because you have to haggle for the best price and freebies and I am a coward. My mother spends $80 for this and gets an enormous amount of free things while I wuss out and got charged $120 for this set. Bargaining and haggling has never been my skill and I would probably get ripped off something fierce if I went to Asia by myself.
This is the coveted Daenggi (a Korean hair ribbon (wiki) ) meori (means hair), shampoo. Excuse me for my poor and barely conversational Korean. You have to make sure to get it form the black bottle/gold line. There are other shoot offs from the Daengi family but the only that works is the Black!
It is expensive but it is well worth it. I used this whole box for the entire year and I haven't bought a different shampoo since. I've noticed a decrease in hair loss, and softer hair that really doesn't need conditioner. Since I have fine hair that gets incredibly greasy, this shampoo prevents my hair getting too oily throughout the day. Plus, if you buy Rogaine, it is around $30 for a 1 month supply, it turns out to be $360 for one year. I've also heard that once you stop using Rogaine, all the hair that grew out will fall back out. I'm not guaranteeing hair growth, but your hair will feel softer, smoother with less fly aways.
A couple of things that you should know is that it has a strong herbal smell that really isn't pleasant. The smell does fade but it takes a while for it to do so. It also doesn't lather up well. It does have some bubbles but if you are used to getting tons of lather, you'll be disappointed. You also do need a touch more that the usual shampoo. Not enough to overflow your palm, but a good push down the bottle. I also use a conditioner but it really doesn't make a big difference in my hair. If I use the Daengi conditioner, my hair feels infinitely smoother but it gets a but pricey. I just use a Olive shampoo that I was given.
I don't know why the Olive line of products are so extensive. I've had hand lotion, body wash, conditioner and some other things.
I also got a new pair of glasses and am so dizzy and nauseous. I guess my prescription changed quite a bit.
Do you see the difference? The one on top was the old one and it was tiny. The new one makes me look like a old, nerdy pedo. I'm not any of those things but I like that the frames are bigger. The only bad part is the lack of nose pads. My Asian genes have denied me a prominent nose bridge and these touch my face when I smile. Guess who has a reason to smile less?
