Review of Essential Damage Control Hair Essence - Rich Premier and Nuance Airy
Essential Damage Control - Hair Essence
Score : JJJJJ/5
I'm sure you must be wondering why I gave full marks for the Essential Damage Control Hair Essence. If you had been observant enough, you would have realized that I seldom mention/blog about haircare products, especially leave-on hair serums.
I was never, I repeat, NEVER a fan of hair serums. In fact, I hate using hair serums / leave-on hair serums. I would prefer my hair to be super duper dry than be sticky and flat. Most hair serums that I have tried often made my hair feel oily and heavy after application. It also tends to worsen further towards the end of day.
So ... I am impressed that Essential Hair Essence was able to Repair my hair texture, Rejuvenate my lifeless hair and Re-style my hair for a brand new me. Both Essential Rich Premier Hair Essence and Nuance Airy Hair Essence give a complete different feel despite having the same key ingredient; High Purity Honey Oil and Ultra Shine Essence.
For Essential Rich Premier Hair Essence - Nourishing Care Lotion; it gives my hair a smooth and light feel. It was able to moisturize my hair, making it soft and manageable. And it is important to note that it does not make my hair feel heavier (especially the lower portion of my hair) which prompts me to give it full marks!
For Essential Nuance Airy Hair Essence - Anti-Frizz Serum; it wasnt able to completely remove my frizzy hair, but still manages to gives my hair a smooth feel. My hair ends tends to be more curvy at the ends of my hair when using Nuance Airy as compared to Rich Premier.

Essential Damage Control - Rich Premier
Score : JJJJ/5
Yes, I was reluctant to switch to Essential Nuance Airy. The Essential Rich Premier has worked well on my hair type and I admit that I hesitated. Well, I sacrificed my hair for the sake of review purposes (so noble of me *puke*).
The sequence as follows;
Day 01 (28/09/10) - Shampoo + Conditioner + Hair Essence
Day 02 (29/09/10) - Shampoo + Treatment + Hair Essence
Day 03 (30/09/10) - Shampoo + Conditioner + Hair Essence
Day 04 (01/10/10) - Shampoo + Conditioner + Hair Essence
Please note that Nuance Airy Intensive Hair Treatment was excluded during trial during to the limited time given. The recommended usage for Nuance Airy Treatment / Intensive Hair Mask was 1-2 times per week.

Yes, you are right! Essential Nuance Airy does smell similar to Essential Rich Premier. But if you put in a little more effect to sniff and compare, you would have realized that it has a more feminine aroma (could it be Wild Rose Essence?) compared to Essential Rich Premier. Not only does Essential Nuance Airy lathers well, I was able to rinse my hair easily.
For my review on Essential Rich Nuance Airy Essence which I used twice daily, it will be posted separately in another post.

It was a tough choice deciding which to test out first. Should it be the Essential Damage Control - Rich Premier or the Essential Damage Control - Nuance Airy? I eventually chose to try the Essential Damage Control - Rich Premier.

| Essential Damage Control - Rich Premier |
The Essential Damage Control - Rich Premier haircare products were used over a period of 4 days. The products includes Rich Premier Shampoo, Conditioner, Intensive Hair Mask and Hair Essence.
The sequence as follows;
Day 01 (23/09/10) - Shampoo + Conditioner + Hair Essence
Day 02 (24/09/10) - Shampoo + Conditioner + Hair Essence
Day 03 (25/09/10) - Shampoo + Intensive Hair Mask + Hair Essence
Day 04 (26/09/10) - Shampoo + Conditioner + Hair Essence
Please note that Rich Premier Treatment was excluded during trial during to the limited time given. The recommended usage for Rich Premier Treatment / Intensive Hair Mask was 1-2 times per week.
As a regular user of Kerastase Reflection, I am used to shampoo that does not foam well. I need shampoo that are gentle on colored hair yet effective to rejuvenate my hair after each wash. My immediate response on the Essential Damage Control - Rich Premier was horror! It brought back memories of shampoos that I have tried before, cos it foams so well that I have excess for photography purposes (see the below image).
From my past experience with shampoos that foam well, they tend to make my hair tangle badly while rinsing. But I was pleasantly surprised that not only does it foam well, I was able to rinse my hair easily. There somehow seems to be a residue silky layer on my hair which I attribute to its Sunflower Oil Essence (I gave it the benefit of doubt). In fact, I was so tempted to skip the next step, which conditioner.
My hair texture improved significantly immediately after first wash with Rich Premier Shampoo. As my hair texture continued to improve with each wash and I wasnt able to see visible difference between Rich Premier Conditioner and Rich Premier Intensive Hair Mask. Seriously, its tough to feel smooth, smoother and smoothest with my fingers (I'm sure you cant too!).

I was reluctant to cease usage of Essential Rich Premier as I love the way it manages to tame and improve my hair texture. Anyways, back to topic. I have just switched to Essential Nuance Airy today, for the next 4 days, for review purpose.
