2 New affordable Japanese hair care ranges for oily scalp & dry hair

#1 Honeyce Moisture Repair and Juicy Spa Series
This range contains eight different types of honey – manuka, raspberry, clover, rosemary, orange, lemon, acavia and blueberry honey – sourced from all over the world.

With the addition of argan oil, jojoba oil and keratin, it claims to be able to repair even the most damaged of strands, leaving you with stronger and healthier hair with each use.

Those with slightly oilier scalps might want to opt for the Juicy Spa series instead, which is enhanced with lemon and clay to effectively cleanse the scalp and reduce hair loss.

Shampoo, treatment, hair mask, hair milk/hair mist all retail at $19.90 each and are available exclusively at Watsons.

#2 Bene Premium Bluria and Rougeria
Much has been said about the use of silicones in hair care; its effects of shinier-looking hair may be short-lived, and using them may do more harm than good in the long run. The Bene Premium shampoos are all formulated without the ingredient, and are said to be best for those who use silicone-based styling products frequently.

The Bluria series in particular deep cleanses the scalp with clay and natural fruit enzymes. If you have severely damaged hair, try the Rougeria series instead.

Shampoo, treatment, hair mask, night care milk and hair oil all retail at $19.90 each and are available exclusively at Watsons.
