Have you herad about the Damoae Therapy Shampoo and Tonic hair treatment available at Wishtrend? I discovered there was a video on their Youtube channel and when I was asked if I would like to try this, I was more than curious. I have very frizzy and dry hair which is naturally curled. It was damaged quite a lot when I decided to cut it back and re-grow it with more care, and this shampoo did help me, surprisingly! I didn’t expect it to be a magical potion for beautiful hair, but it did some respectable job, as you will see at the end of the post. Keep reading if you are interested :)

Damoae is a Korean brand available at Wishtrend. It comes in a medical designed packaging and the ingredients are based on plants mostly. The Therapy Shampoo and Tonic are designed for hairloss and dandruff prevention. I personally don’t have any problems with hairloss yet, but it is proven that not only men will loose their hair with growing age, but also women will feel their hair becoming thinner and weaker. I never had the strongest hair, but my main concern has always been the lack of shininess. Because of my natural curls my hair is mostly dry. I started using hair oils, which help a great deal already. The Damoae Therapy Kit, consisting of the shampoo and the tonic have a sleek simple packaging. I’ll start of with the Shampoo first:

The shampoo comes in a pump bottle made of sturdy plastic. Although having a simple packaging, the quality is really good, as well the cardbox packaging and the pump bottle don’t appear to be easily broken. The cardboard box unfortunately contains only Korean description, but on Wishtrend you’ll find a very detailled description and an advertising video. The shampoo is KFDA and FDA (US) approved and the formula was patented and clinically prooven. The description on Wishtrend says:

What is DAMOAE? Damoae is made of natural Chinese medicinal herbs that can be ingested, and there for is not harmful to the body. This product is patent proven to increase hair count as well as effectively treat dandruff and has been approved by the KFDA as a hair loss prevention product that increases hair growth and thickness.

Damoae consists of 17 natural herbs used in Chinese medicine, including dried orange peels, aloe, and peppermint. These ingredients work together to perform the most ideal medical action on the scalp to prevent hair loss and treat dandruff at the same time.

By continuously using Damoae, you can see improvement in the following areas: hair loss, dandruff, scalp itchiness, seborrheic dermatitis, damaged hair, and more! You’re scalp will feel clean and your hair will feel luxuriously thick and smooth!

It also says, that no conditioner is needed, since the shampoo contains natural conditioning agents. Instead you should wash your hair twice with the Shampoo.

When you receive the pump bottle, it is securely locked, so there won’t leak out any product during transportation. Once you turn the pump dispenser, it is unlocked and can be used like any other pump. The bottle contains 300 g. The production date and the expiration date are printed on the backside of the pump bottle.

The shampoo has a transparent yellow color and the amount which is dispensed with one pump has the size of a small coin. It looks like it is not a lot, but it is definitively enough if you double wash your hair. I discovered that it hardly lathers the first time I wash my hair, but the second time I wash my hair it lathers up really nicely. The scent is a citrus/ herbal scent and might be not everybody’s liking, but it is somehow refreshing. I also had the feeling that it felt cooling on my scalp, which would be somehow logical if the shampoo aims at soothing your scalp and vitalizing your heads skin.

After washing while my hair is still wet it doesn’t feel super soft, like it would feel when using a silicone based conditioner, nevertheless it is easily to comb through.

The second product of the hair treatment is a tonic. The packaging is similar to the shampoo, but the bottle is a bit smaller than the bottle for the shampoo.  It contains 150 ml.

Also here the packaging only contains Korean description, but detailled description is written on Wishtrend webpage.

In contrast to the shampoo, the tonic essence comes in a bottle with a turnable spraying nozzle. It is protected by a clear plastic cap. You are supposed to spray it on your scalp after washing your hair and massage it on your scalp with your fingers.

The tonic looks like water and has a clear consistency. The scent is the same as the shampoo.

According to COSDNA all the ingredients of the shampoo are either labelled with a yellow or a green flag and the products consist of a lot of plant ingredients. The same goes for the tonic. Except of the tonic contains Salicylic acid, which gets a red flag in COSDNA, but salicylic acid also has benefits for acne preventation and it will probably be beneficial if your scalp is suffering from acne or red spots.

Now, let’s get to the main part: how was the effect of the Damoae Therapy Hair Treatment Kit on my hair? I used it for about a month and below I will show you the pictures of my hair before starting the treatment and afterwards. Except of the two products showed above I only used hair oil in my length.

The images speak for themselves, don’t they? My hair is definitively more shiny and it feels better and stronger. When using the tonic the hair feels more volumized at the roots. My bf used the shampoo, too, and it made the same discoveries about the feel of the hair.

I’m totally loving this hair treatment and I can recommend to give it a try. The only downside of it is the price, which is pretty expensive compared to drug store shampoos- although the bottle really lasts quite some time, since the pump dispenser prevents you from using excessive amounts. So it lasts quite long. You can get Damoae Therapy Shampoo and Tonic from Wishtrend.
