Yes Ascience is way too rich for me. I dislike the Tsubaki gold line as well…the head spa series I believe but lotsa girls rave about it. I still think the red or white works better but my hair always gets kind dull after a couple of washes.

Does Ascience cause oily scalp and does it weigh your hair down? I tried the Tsubaki Gold line with both the shampoo and the conditioner and it made my hair so oily that I had to wash it the next day. I tried the conditioner by itself and it still didn`t work. I used the Tsubaki Red Line and that one was moisturizing and did not make my scalp as oily as the gold line.

Ascience is known for being richer and more moisturizing which is prob why it suits your needs the best I personally would only use it as an occasional “treatment” because I find the buildup to be a bit too much for me after a while. But I think if you have a clarifying shampoo, that shouldn’t be a problem.

i am just so SHOCKED!
Asience is like the best out there that i have tried in my opinion. im from the states so i mainly use the what you call “foreign brands” such as pantene and Dove and herbal essence. dove is a no no gives 100% split ends i can guarantee it! pantene is something that will just do the job of keeping your head clean and thats about it; it wont damage it but it wont improve it by much either. i was lucky enough to get a sample of the Asience shampoo and conditioner i was so surprised after my first use of it together w/shampoo and conditioner! since i swim a lot my ends are very thin and brittle after using Asience for my my, my ends significantly improved and felt well smoother! i only wish that i could buy it to use but its just too expensive in the states its about $16-$18US for each bottle! versus a pantene or dove which goes as low as $7 for a bottle 1/3 as big and even cheaper if you have a coupon/discount!

Hi!! I loved your shampoo posts!! I’ve been using the Asience Gold/brown one! And what you said were true! It smells really good and it conditions really well!! I have really dry and frizzy hair, I tried a lot of products (i even use deep conditioning creams as my daily conditioner) but only Asience gives me good results!! I’m going to Japan and I’ll stock up on Asience! ^_^ too bad there’s no Asience here in the Philippine dept stores.
