Review: HOBBY Intensive Care Shampoo - Hair fall control

Hello ~

How long have it been since I last posted a review here ? probably million years or something *Die*
So, since I started my midterms yesterday, I thought today I'll do something productive like a review :)

I am always on the lookout for the perfect shampoo, and today I'll review my latest find, HOBBY Intensive Care Shampoo with for Hair fall control with Garlic extract, that's right Garlic ! interesting huh ?

Pros:
- Can be used for all hair types
- Reduce hair fall (unless your hair fall is stress related)
- Gets rid of itchiness and irritations on the scalp
- I no longer suffer from those disgusting oily dandruff >> read about how it happened

Cons:
- it smells like shampoo (I prefer when shampoo/body wash... etc smell like perfume or something similar so I wouldn't have to wear perfume 

Repurchase: probably not, just because I prefer better smelling stuff and because I got rid of the problem with my hair.

Rating: 4/5

Holika Holika in Bahrain !!





*Throws confetti everywhere* 

So 2 nights ago when I was out with my family, and I while I was looking out the car window I saw this:


and I freaked out !!

I had to make my dad turn around so I can check it out :)

this is what they said in their facebook pageBut they still don't have a lot of products yet, because they opened like a month ago, but owner said that 2 shipments are on the way :) she also said that You can always ask her if you wanted something specific and she'll try to order it for you.


Price:
the products are a bit overpriced, but I think it is okay since the rent is expensive, and honestly I wouldn't mind spending that extra money to get my stuff immediately (because shipping normally takes a month or so).


Costumer service: 
the owner and the lady working there are very sweet and really friendly, as I said before, if you are looking for a product and they weren't carrying it she'll order it for you, she also translates, the instructions and other text on the package and puts it on the website, which is very helpful.
she also got my contact number and she'll text me when the new shipment arrive.

and the best thing about the store is that they write the price on the products and on the website -which most stores don't do- and I find that very convenient, because there is nothing I hate more than going to the cashier and realize I don't have enough money.


Final note: I guess I'll be a regular customer there (well.. not THAT regular because with korean products a little bit goes a long way -I've been using the 3 seconds Starter Vita Complex twice a day since august 2013 and the bottle still half full!!)

also being able to test the product before I buy it is a plus
