SHISEIDO Tsubaki Premium Repair Conditioner 450ml

Tsubaki is the Japanese camellia, and its oil has been used on hair in Japan for centuries, long before Shiseido built a brand around it. The Shiseido Tsubaki Premium Repair Conditioner is the second half of a pairing: the shampoo does the washing, this goes on afterwards and does the conditioning.

Premium is the upper tier of the Tsubaki range, and Repair is the line within it aimed at hair that has been through colouring, heat styling and general wear. It works on the outer layer of the hair, smoothing the cuticle so strands sit flat rather than catching on each other. That is what makes damaged hair feel rough and tangled, and it is why a tsubaki repair conditioner is judged mostly on how the hair feels once it is dry rather than in the shower.

Applied to the mid-lengths and ends, where hair is oldest and driest, it rinses out cleanly without weighing the roots down. Shiseido Tsubaki shampoo and conditioner are designed to be used together, and most people find the pair noticeably better than either alone. Tsubaki shoppers in Canada usually order both bottles at once.
