Silicone-free Shampoos: Pure Beauty Moisture Repair Treatment Shampoo and Arome by Watsons Aqua Moist Moisture and Shine Shampoo Reviews

My recent trip to Watson was spent looking for these shampoos:
  • Pure Beauty Moisture Repair Treatment Shampoo
  • Arome by Watsons Aqua Moist Moisture and Shine Shampoo
Unfortunately, I couldn't find them. I was relatively happy with these shampoos because my hair felt soft, frizz free, and my scalp did not itch. Too bad, I just couldn't find them, now.

Looking for these:

My primary concern was having frizzy hair due to coloring and the after effects of having it chemically and digitally permed. Although that it has been more than three years since I had my hair permed, I still and also suffer from hair fall. I also considered using shampoos from Human Heart Nature, though they're not yet my holy grail ones.

When I found these shampoos on separate occasions, I was skeptical because I'm worried that even though they're silicone and sulfate free, I may still end up having dry and frizzy hair or have exacerbated hair fall. Or, either way, vice versa. You know, your mileage may vary (YMMV). Well, I jumped on the gun just relying on their individual claims and their value for money.

Pure Beauty Moisture and Repair Treatment Shampoo

I bought this after some thought after mixed feelings on using Human Heart Nature shampoos. My hair became and soft and the hair fall lessened with Human Heart Nature. However, it still was frizzy unless you comb or brush it well and leave a hair serum it. I can't do that every day, especially if I am in a hurry.

Like I said, I was skeptical buying this one. I remembered, though, that using silicone-free shampoos have benefits.

Pure Beauty Moisture and Repair Treatment Shampoo claims:
Pure Beauty Treatment Shampoo is enriched with Camellia Seed Oil from Japan to help nourish and moisturize dry and damaged hair. The frequent use of shampoo gently cleanses and strengthens each strands of hair, leaving your hair smoother and more manageable with an exceptional shine. *See source.  
I found out that it also does not have strong sulfates, which is a plus but it may disappoint foam-loving people. Sulfates strip away hair moisture. If you have color-treated hair, you easily lose its luster. This shampoo also has pomegranate extract. Although it has ingredients from Japan, it is made in Korea.

Arome by Watsons Aqua Moist Moisture and Shine Shampoo

I was searching for something similar when I wasn't able to find Pure Beauty Moisture and Repair Treatment Shampoo. Just to my disappointment. Good thing, I found this on sale. From being priced around Php 350, I just paid Php 104? It was a big deal!

Though it was on a huge sale, I was still skeptical. But having read that it is from Japan, so why not. (such biases XD)

I tried listing all the ingredients but unfortunately, I wasn't able to successfully peel off the price tag because it wouldn't budge. I tried looking for any ingredients list only. Unfortunately, as well, I couldn't find any. DX But here's the list that I was able to jot down. Seems that these chemicals are alternatives to the usual silicones we find in softening shampoos.


Ingredients:
Water, Sodium C14-17 Alkyl Sec Sulfonate, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Cocanidopropyl Betaine, Glycerin, Cocamide DEA, Sodium Lauroly Methylaminopropionate, Cocamide Methyl MEA, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Chloride, Fragrance, Sodium Sulate, Pilysaternium-10, Citric Acid, Disodium EDTA, Hydroxypropyl Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Methylisothiazolinone, Butylene Glycol, Camellia Japonica Seed Oil, Adansonia Digitata Seed Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Sodium Citrate, Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Fruit Extract...Hydrolzed Rice Quaternium-18,  Quaternium-33, ...

It smelled like synthetic roses that kind of makes me queasy but it fades away when shampooing. The smell kind of lasts long on hair. This does not have sulfates also but it still lathers well.

What I like:
  • The smell kinda lasts long on the hair.
  • My hair is left smooth and shiny with less hair fall.
  • I did not experience any dandruff build-up. It lathers well and easy to wash off.

What I don't like:
  • Stocks are also limited. DX
  • The supposedly rosey smell make me a little queasy but it fades away as you go on shampooing. 

Will I repurchase?
Yes! If there are more stocks. DX

Come to think of it, I should've hoarded more on either of them. I could really feel and enjoy each of their benefits. Plus, I am confident I could enjoy more of my hair color when using each of these shampoos. And to reiterate, they are bangs for buck. I just wish that Watsons will restock them more and soon!

Such guns to be pulled.

Have you tried any of these shampoos? Please share your thoughts on them. ^o^
