Essential CC Oil (60ml) And Night Care Milk (100ml)
Today review is on Essential CC Oil And Night Care Milk. Thanks to Essential and SampleStore.com for sending them to me. 

Overall, Essential CC Oil And Night Care Milk is able to help my hair become more manageable. Essential Night Care Milk help my hair become tangle free and more manageable the next morning despite tossing and turning against the pillow the whole night.

Essential CC Oil And Night Care Milk Summary
I am sure all of you would have heard of this popular Japan hair care brand, Essential. They have launched 2 new leave-on treatment products. Lets take a look at them.

Essential CC Oil
While human have stress, our hair do have stress too. This stress may be cause by external or human factors.

So what are the factors that cause our hair damage that look somewhat similar to the 5 Hair Stress Brothers below? Eww.......
5 Hair Stress Brothers
They are the 5 hair stresses below:
  1. Blow Drying: Heat damage or friction from blow drying.
  2. Combing: Friction to the hair cuticles due to daily combing. 
  3. Split Ends: Fraying of hair shaft due to dry and brittle hair. 
  4. Hair Breakage: Other actions such as twirling or tying hair can cause stress resulting in breakage. 
  5. Dryness: Dry hair that feels rough. 
All the five hair stress mention above may affect the quality of our hair and we eventually start to panic when see all these hairs on the floor like the below hairs from the 5 stress brothers. This hit bull eyes for me too. 
Hair fall from 5 Hair Stress Brothers caused from the 5 hair stress.
Essential CC (Cuticle Care) Oil which share the same multi-functional concept as BB/CC Cream in skincare which moisturize, cover blemishes, etc, this CC oil helps to protect our hair from these 5 hair stresses. 
Essential CC (Cuticle Care) Oil
Essential CC (Cuticle Care) Oil benefits:
  • Forms a protective coat around each hair strand.
  • Protects your hair from the 5 hair stresses.
  • Non-greasy.
  • Light weight.
  • Leaves hair smooth.
  • Tangle- free.
  • More manageable. 
What is said on the package.

Essential Night Care Milk
Do you also have the tendency of waking up in the morning with hair that looked like lion? Then its all tangle up and you have no choice but to wet or wash it then blow dry it. Very time consuming and difficult to manage. 

All these lion hair and tangle hair in the morning are caused by Pillow friction. 

What is Pillow Friction?
I'm sure you do toss and turn at night when sleep. These friction between the pillow and hair is call pillow friction. 

Pillow friction causes:
  • Cuticles to be misaligned. 
  • Misaligned cuticles creates frizz
  • result in lion's mane 
Essential Night Care Milk helps to protect hair from pillow friction. 
Essential Night Care Milk
Essential Night Care Milk benefits:

  • Prevent misaligned cuticles when hair rub against the pillowcase.
  • More manageable the next morning.
  • intensively repair and moisturize
  • Leaves hair smooth. 
  • Tangle-free.
  • Non-greasy. 
  • Light weight. 
What is written on the package.
Both new products contain cuticle coat protections that leaves hair smooth and tangle free all day.

One more thing to really note is that it contain hair supplement oil which is similar to hair's natural oil. 
Eliminate hair stresses and pillow friction using Essential.

My Review
Today review is on Essential CC Oil And Night Care Milk. Thanks to Essential and SampleStore.com for sending them to me.

I am a pretty lazy women. Often in the morning, I will just wet my hair and roughly comb my always tangled long hair. And throughout the day, I will wet my hair often to prevent it from becoming frizzy. 

All in all, very troublesome. So I was quite happy to received these Essential hair products. 

Let talk about Essential CC Oil first. 

The CC oil came in a nice bottle. It is light weight and non greasy. When used, it gave off a nice light floral fragrance.

How it look like.
This is the first time I use any hair CC oil product and I must say it is really effective. I will just need to apply once in the morning before I go out and my hair stays smooth and so easy to manage throughout the day. I don't even need to wet my hair in between the day. I just need to use my hand to finger comb and that's it. It stays tangle free and neat. :)

Essential Night Care Milk came in a white bottle. It has a white creamy texture and is light weight and non greasy. When use, it also gave off a nice floral fragrance same as the CC oil.

White creamy texture.
After used, I realize I fall in love with this Night Care Milk. It is light weight, no fear that the cream will stick onto the pillow. I will wake up with my hair tangle free the next day morning. Its so easy to manage that I just need to simply comb my hair without the fear of spoiling it. 

Before and after used.
