Questions about SHISEIDO Tsubaki Gold Repair Shampoo 450ml

Got questions? We’ve got answers!

Q1: What is tsubaki?

The Japanese camellia. Its oil has been used on hair in Japan for centuries and is the ingredient the whole Tsubaki line is built around.

Q2: What does repair mean here?

It refers to the appearance and feel of the hair surface. Smoothing the cuticle makes hair feel softer and tangle less. No product regrows or structurally rebuilds hair.

Q3: Should I use the conditioner too?

The line is designed to be used together, and most people find the pair noticeably better than the shampoo alone.

Q4: Will it weigh fine hair down?

It is aimed at dry and damaged hair, so it is richer than a volumising shampoo. Apply the conditioner to the lengths only rather than the roots.

Q5: Which Tsubaki line should I choose?

They share the same camellia oil base and differ by focus. Gold Repair targets damage from colouring and heat. Premium Repair covers similar ground in the Premium tier. Premium Volume & Repair adds body, which suits finer hair that is also damaged. If your hair is coarse and dry, Gold Repair is the straightforward pick.
