Sunstar Tonic Shampoo with Conditioner 2 in 1 Review

WHAT IS IT: Sunstar Tonic Shampoo with Conditioner 2 in 1


THE PRODUCT(S):

Sunstar Tonic Shampoo with Conditioner 2 in 1: This series of hair-care products for men, which includes shampoo, body wash and deodorant, was developed based on the idea of creating a cool, invigorating sensation and scent that refreshes both the body and the mind, creating a positive, energized attitude toward yourself and life. It was developed through Sunstar's own unique technology and is highly evaluated by professionals in the hair-care field.



It's actually a clear shampoo, the scent of mint/menthol isn't that strong, but it's there. Gives scalp a cooling and refreshing feeling. Suds easily and easy to wash off without having to take too much effort.


VERDICT: The shampoo itself has this wonderful minty/menthol scent as soon as I cut open the sample sachet. Although the scent wasn't as strong as the Sunstar Tonic Shampoo Energy Menthol I have previously reviewed, but the scent is still there. It just sort of takes a little longer for the scent to slowly waft out. Shampoo has a clear consistency and the texture is semi-watery, but doesn't spill that easily. It lathers and suds up pretty decently and gives the scalp a minty, cooling and refreshing sensation to it. It feels as if your scalp is thoroughly cleansed in one wash.


As I have oily scalp, I find that this shampoo works wonder for my hair-type, despite the Japanese description has the word 男性, which meant it's for male users. I find that it works just as equally well on my scalp and hair. As I have long hair, I just simply rubbed the shampoo in between my hands until I see suds and run my hands over my hair/scalp repeatedly until my hair is totally covered in shampoo suds in which I slowly massaged the shampoo deeply onto my scalp. And because this shampoo sample comes with Conditioner already, I find that I don't really need to use a conditioner or hair treatment product as well. It also helps that I already used conditioner the previous day, so my hair didn't get all that tangled up.


After applying the suds to my hair/scalp, I left it on while going on with my usual shower activities which includes facial cleansing, a bit of loofah-loving here and there. And along the way, the shampoo slowly starts to give my scalp this wonderful minty cool and refreshing sensation. And even immediately after washing off the shampoo suds, the feeling of minty cool and refreshing stayed on, making it feel like my scalp is still being cleansed and refreshed. And in the midst of washing off the shampoo suds, I did noticed that hairfall was less, as compared to using other shampoo.


And once out of the shower, the minty fresh and cooling sensation in my scalp lingered on comfortably until my hair dried out, whereby my hair still didn't look nor feel tangled at all. And my hair actually looks cleaner and much more healthier too. Not to mention that tingly sensation from using the shampoo was a welcome change, as most shampoos that promises with ingredients of menthol and anything menthol related ended up not giving that tingly feeling at all.


What I personally loved? Since I have a ceiling fan, I tend to sit underneath the ceiling fan directly to let my hair air dry naturally, instead of using a hairdryer. And allow me to tell you that the tingly and cooling sensation actually intensified so insanely, I was instantly happy and wishing my hair never dried up at all. Yes, I wished my hair kept staying wet even though I am sitting underneath a ceiling fan on full blast. I love that tingly and cooling sensation on my scalp, especially when in contact with ceiling fan, as it feels like my scalp is being cleansed really thoroughly. And my scalp didn't feel itchy at all, even though I have itchy scalp with dandruff issues on and off.


VERDICT: ✓✓✓


WHAT I THINK: My mind is so blown away with this shampoo that comes with a conditioner already in it. And I was expecting this one to not work as intensively as the other one without a hint of conditioner.

Sunstar Tonic Shampoo Energy Menthol Review

WHAT IS IT: Sunstar Tonic Shampoo Energy Menthol


THE PRODUCT(S):

Sunstar Tonic Shampoo Energy Menthol: Menthol formulated shampoo which unclogs stubborn sebum & smooths hair.



This shampoo is actually clear/transparent in terms of color, and as soon as I cut opened a little corner, the strong menthol scent began wafting out. Admittedly, I really like hair products that has a strong menthol/minty smell as it means my scalp will be feeling cool and tingly after application/usage.


VERDICT: So, as soon as I cut opened a small little corner of the sample sachet, this very strong menthol scent began wafting out. And I have to admit, I was thrilled to encounter such a strong menthol/minty scent from a shampoo. And this can only mean that it is going to be a good or at least effective product that needs attention diverted to it. The color of this shampoo is actually clear/transparent, pretty much like the SilkPro Hair Fall Control shampoo except this Sunstar Tonic one is actually much more effective than it looks.


It actually suds pretty well and at the same time, washes off pretty easily too. Most shampoos I've previously used before suds decently too, but when the time comes to wash it off, I end up holding the shower head high above my head while I stand almost motionless like those confused zombies in typical zombie movie. (A showering zombie, anyone?) And because I had used hair conditioner the day before, so I cannot really judge nor gauge if it made my feel a little smoother or not. But what I am sure is that my hair didn't feel tangled at all after using this shampoo sample.


And by now, I am confidently sure that most of you, my beautiful readers, are aware of my on and off dandruff problems. We all know how dandruff can do to us. Besides those yucky white little unwanted snowflake-like stuffs that drops from our scalp and hair onto our clothes, the other issue is the constant scalp/head scratching that is almost consistent and non-stop. And from the time my hair dried last night until now, I did not scratch my scalp/head a single time. Nope! No scratching involved for that many hours.


And remember how I reviewed the Organix Hydrating Tea Tree Mint Shampoo previously, where I mentioned there was a wonderful and uplifting but slightly faint/tamed scent of Mint and Tea Tree Oil but yet didn't make my scalp feel thoroughly cleaned? This Sunstar Tonic shampoo begs to differ in so many ways. And with the Organix memory not that far off, I was actually prepared not to feel any cooling and tingling sensation after lathering into my hair. And while the shampoo was sitting on my wet hair, I took the chance to wash my face too. And before I can even get the suds off my face, I was already starting to feel the cooling and tingling sensation I was eagerly expecting.


And my entire scalp and hair felt clean and refreshed. The cooling and tingling sensation actually lasted long enough on my scalp until my hair was almost 80% dry to the touch. And with the ceiling fan whirring above my head, that cooling and tingling sensation was actually intensified a little and felt marvelous throughout the time I was waiting for my hair to finally dry. And as usual, I was also waiting for the itchy scalp part, which fortunately never happened at all. It was utter bliss not to have my scalp feel itchy and my hair slightly greasy for almost a full 12 hours.


VERDICT: ✓✓✓


WHAT I THINK: Itch-free scalp? I'm sold and in love already~
