Lucido L Hair Wax < Moisture >

Lucido L is famous Japanese hair care brand; it is pretty easy to find their product in local pharmacies such as Watsons in Singapore. Yet, I happened to purchase mine when from Bangkok. Doesn’t matter… since all are made in Japan (I think…), the quality should be the same with the Singaporean stock.

Anyways, I love love love Lucido L for their innovation. Seems like every other day they churn out new products … newer products always seems prettier, more potent, more interesting … which means, I end up with numerous tubes of unfinished hair products but end up getting more. All of that aside…

This is another new one from Lucido L: the new hair wax comes in 6 variants to address different concern from making voluptuous volumes to adding juicy moisture. All packaged in pretty, colorful tubs…  for my fried, chemically processed hair…I got the one to add moisture, of course… and it comes in pretty pink tub!

Lucido L says this tub contains double hyaluronic acid to provide long lasting moisture- creating shiny, lively and smooth hair. it also contains non sticky powder to absorb oil and penetrating hyaluronic acid to add moisture.

The light glossy cream smells of light fruity floral fragrance. The lovely cream is absorbed easily without making my hair feels heavy. But… I don’t feel much moisture from this baby. Of course, directly after application, there is moisturizing feeling, but after it has been fully absorbed by my fried hair, I don’t feel any difference. One thing I love from this wax is it doesn’t feel silicone-y at all! A little dash of silicone in my hair wax or oil is good, but too much of them… I am getting kinda bored with tonnes of silicone laden products out there…   

Anyways… bottomline…

Pretty tube never fails to tempt me to purchase from this range. This might be moisturizing enough for those whose hair is not as fried as mine. For me, this didn’t have any effect. 

Lucido L Hair Make Supplement Treatment Oil for Permed hair

Previously I reviewed Styling Milk for Straight hair of this series. Now, I am going to try its treatment oil for permed hair.

Lucido-L promises soft curl with light feeling, they recommend this baby for perm damaged hair. DAMAGED is the key word for me here, that's why I am going for this orange one, instead of magenta bottle which is marketed for straight or straightened hair. Just like the pink bottle, it also contains CMC like ingredient. This fancy ingredient is supposed to help water retention to make your hair more manageable. 

I applied this oil on towel dried hair, just like what Lucido-L recommends. The idea is that the ingredient will coat your hair to lock in moisture. Shampoo at night and wake up to smoother, softer hair! 

The oil is very light and faintly fragranced. It has slippery siliconey feel - so it doesnt weigh down my hair, it just adds shine and gloss. 

bottomline,
i guess this is more for normal hair, instead of dry hair like mine. the oil is very light and adds good amount of gloss, but no way moisturizing or keeping permed wavy hair stay. 

Mandom Lucido-L Hair Treatment Water

When I thought hyaluronic acid is just for wrinkles… Mandom says it is good for hair too. Whoa… Must try!

This Hair Treatment Water spray contains not one, but two types of hyaluronic acid to quickly moisturize, straighten dry or bed head hair. Sounds like something my ultra dry, regularly straightened hair really need.

Reading thru the ingredient list, the hyalyronic acids they mean here are: hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid and sodium hyaluronate.

Anyways, I love the spray. It mists my hair nicely. Smells refreshingly good too… a little floral aquatic with dash of powder. Not too strong, just nice to mask the smokey hawker center smell from my hair, but not overriding perfume I wear in the morning.

My hair does feel a little smoother after spraying this. But not to the extent of straightening my bed hair. May be because my hair is extra rebellious… those with softer hair might benefit more. It does make my hair tangle less , even though the moisturizing effect is not so visible after spraying.

This was given to me by my mom, who picked the product mistakenly during her trip to the drugstore. So, I couldn’t really comment on the money-worthness of this product. Nonetheless, a nice addition on my work desk! Better fragrance and benefits than other mists I purchased so far.
