Introduction to Essential 

Essential is a famous haircare line that originates from Japan that focuses to help repair and care for hair.

Essentials offer basic care like Shampoo and Conditioners and intensive treatment such as Hair Mask and Hair Serums.

The NEW! Essential Variants

This October, Essential has just re-launched its existing products with brand new packaging, improved formula and new variants.

Essential haircare range has relaunched with new, improved formula and technology. 

Now, Essential is available in 4 variants to suit all hair needs and types:

•  Essential Nourishing Breakage Defense (orange) – for weak & damaged hair
•  Essential Moisturizing Frizz Free (pink) – for dull & rough hair
• Essential Light Finish Volumizing (yellow) – for flat and limp hair
• Essential Deep Cleansing Care (blue) – for oily scalp & dry ends (new)

Out of these 4 variants, the yellow and blue variants have technology that caters to 

people with combination hair – oily scalp/roots yet dry ends.

Information about Combination Hair

Combination Hair is a condition whereby the hair condition is not consistent from roots to the tips. 

The common combination hair is oily roots and dry ends. 

With the New! Essential research and development of its re-launch product, combination hair condition has now a brilliant solution for you! 

Initially, people with combination hair have to get two range of products -light shampoo for the scalp and rich conditioner for the ends. However due to the connection of hair roots to tips, worsen the results. As a result to tackle the problem, rotation of haircare products will have to be practice in order to balance.

Essential’s Solution

Essential Light Finish Volumizing (yellow) and Deep Cleansing Care (blue) variants with

the optimum combination of Smart Cuticle Care & Sebum Cleansing Technology to target 

both problems of roots and hair ends. 

Now, consumers experience the best of both 

worlds with one product - airy light roots and moisturised ends. 

Save time and money!

Unique Selling Point

Micro fine smooth essence that delivers nutrient to repair hair from root to tip. Conventional technology concentrates itself mainly on the ends only.

Hair is manageable just with fingers regardless wet or dry. You can now finger comb your hair without the condition of tangling when you blow dry your hair. No need to comb your hair at all times! So inconvenient!

My photos are actually taken without combing/tidying after a night's rest.

My verdict

The smell of the shampoo is not as overpowering yet sweet and fruity. In addition, it exudes and promotes scalp relaxation due to its improved texture of the products. It efficiently penetrates through my hair roots just with a single pump of product. It felt as if I have received a "professional hair-wash treatment".

The hair conditioner is also very moisturizing and retains really well after rinsing. I was amazed by the rate of the absorbance of the hair conditioner!

I am really impatient sometimes to wait for the nutrients to be absorbed and as a result I appreciate manufacturers for producing products that are efficient and effective. It took me about 20 seconds for my hair conditioner to absorb and retains moisture.

An amazing ability to the new improved products as it allow me to "finger comb" through my hair regardless if it is wet or dry. 

Overall. I am pretty satisfied with these products! A big Thank you to the Essential team for your thorough research and development, it does help address my concern of combination hair (I  have slightly oily scalp and have dry hair ends due to the constant exposure to hair dye chemicals).
