After using YANAGIYA's citrus Hair Tonic and Apricot Oil for 7 consecutive days, I saw improvements in my hair texture and scalp. Let's talk about the citrus hair tonic first. I apply it to my scalp daily as I have a pretty oily scalp and am facing hair loss issues. After applying it daily, my hair growth seemed to improve as more baby hair emerged. My scalp doesn't feel as oily as before, I can now go about without washing my hair for 2 days! Previously, I couldn't even go 1 day without washing my hair. I like the cooling effect as it touches my scalp. It is also pretty lightweight, so it doesn't feel too heavy! It gets absorbed by my scalp very quickly. Moving on to the apricot oil, this is the first time I'm using an apricot product and I must say that it smells really nice! One key benefit of apricot oil is that it can penetrate the hair shaft and hydrate from within. For my dry and brittle hair, this oil is really moisturising! There is a significant shine to my hair after just one week of using it! I like that there can be many ways to use this, e.g. as a hair mask, hair oil, for styling, etc. I personally love it as a hair oil; it isn't oily after application, which is a must for oil! Not to mention, the smell does linger over the course the day too! I even got compliments that my hair smells nice. Overall, I would recommend the Hair Tonic to those who are facing hair loss and oily scalp issues; and the Apricot Oil to anyone with dry hair! Incorporate them into your haircare routine and you’ll see results for sure if you use them diligently.

Being 'blessed' with super fine hair, I am always looking for new products that can help prevent my hair from thinning. However, I also hate when products weigh heavily on my hair. So I'm super happy to discover YANAGIYA's products, especially their Hair Tonic and Apricot Oil. I have tried multiple hair tonics before but definitely not one that contains menthol! I read that the YANAGIYA Hair Tonic contains plant-derived natural remedy extracts, which makes it such a popular product in places like Japan and Taiwan! 🙆🏻‍♀️ Its medicinal properties are said to penetrate the roots of your hair to prevent hair loss and promote growth. The YANAGIYA Apricot Oil is a non-drying oil extracted from natural apricot seeds. I use it to target the dry ends of my dyed hair, as well as for the extra shine. So I simply spread about 3 drops of the apricot oil onto my palms and then apply it to my dry ends. I love how fast it gets absorbed into my hair without it feeling too heavy. Plus, it smells heavenly too! My hair is also instantly smoothed out and stays frizz-free even after I wake up the next morning.

I'm a mother of two and I noticed that I lost quite a lot of hair due to pregnancy and childbirth. And even after 3 years, I will say my hair is still not 100% back to what it was. Hence, I was interested in trying YANAGIYA's Hair Tonic. After using it for a month, I noticed that I have more baby hair growing out, especially around my receding hairline area. I particularly liked the minty sensation when I apply the tonic on my scalp; it feels very refreshing and cooling. Plus, I like that my scalp doesn't feel sticky after application. I couldn't find the time to apply it 2-3 times a day, so I normally just apply it once a day. But I can still tell that it is effective. My hair is quite dry from dyeing and bleaching. I wanted to see if the Yanagiya Apricot Oil would help to replenish my hair's moisture. After using the Yanagiya Apricot Oil for a month, I noticed that my hair is shinier and less dry, especially at the ends. I like that this is made from cold press apricot seeds oil, so it is natural and easily absorbed by my hair. It is easy to apply and I like that you don't need to apply a lot of it — only 2 drops.

I've been incorporating the YANAGIYA Hair Tonic and Apricot Oil into my routine for nearly a month, and the results have been fantastic! I was dealing with extremely dry hair from frequent bleaching and I noticed instant improvements upon application, as evident in my before and after pictures. The delightful scent is a definite plus, leaving my hair smelling fresh. A quick tip: be cautious not to use too much oil. I applied it a bit excessively the first time, and it made my hair look and feel oily. Finding the right amount is key for optimal results! 😊

YANAGIYA Hair Tonic: I have been dealing with some hair loss due to unknown reasons, which definitely adds to my anxiety. Since I've been using lots of hair growth serum and products to boost hair growth, I was glad to try YANAGIYA's Hair Tonic. I read that it helps to promote hair growth and tries to induce a healthy scalp, which means less hair loss.   While I did not notice any hair growth, it does reduce the amount of hair fall, probably due to the scalp being more balanced and healthier. My scalp also feels less itchy and oily after the second day of not washing my hair. As I skip a day of hair washing to prevent my scalp from being too dry, my scalp usually gets quite oily and itchy. Using YANAGIYA's Hair Tonic definitely helps me to keep my scalp in good condition.   YANAGIYA Apricot Oil: I go for perms regularly, which results in dry, brittle hair. My hair is so dry that it "crunches" whenever I squeeze it into a ball in my palm. I not only use conditioner; I also use a hair mask to tame my frizzy, dry hair. But they can only help so much. My hair is still so dry and brittle; my next bet would be to just cut those "hays".   After using YANAGIYA's Apricot Oil, my curls are much more prominent and bouncy. The product scent is light and subtle; strong enough such that it's noticeable when you are applying the oil but it otherwise fades after application. Compared to other hair serums, it does take some time before it gets absorbed into my hair. But this could be because it's an oil-based product. I easily solve this by massaging the remaining oil into my equally dry skin on my legs. It's great that the oil can be used not only for my hair but also on my body and nails!

The invigorating citrus scent of the YANAGIYA Hair Tonic is delightful, providing a fresh aroma with every use. Additionally, its cooling sensation on the scalp offers a pleasantly refreshing experience. As someone with an oily scalp that is prone to itching and dandruff, this tonic's cooling effects have been a game-changer. The soothing sensation not only feels amazing but also alleviates itchiness, making it an ideal solution for scalp care. I'm hopeful that continued use of this tonic will further improve my scalp's condition, keeping it healthy, fresh, and potentially reducing hair loss. The initial effects are promising and I look forward to the tonic's long-term benefits.

I have been using the YANAGIYA Hair Tonic & YANAGIYA Apricot Oil for a week now & I really love how my hair feels! I have a really sensitive scalp, which can get pretty dry and flaky at times. The fragrance-free YANAGIYA Hair Tonic really works so well for me. I'm impressed by its gentle yet effective formula. The cooling sensation instantly soothes my scalp and I've noticed reduced itching and irritation. Over time, my hair feels stronger, with less breakage, and I appreciate the absence of any overpowering scent. It's become a staple in my hair care routine, especially because of its calming effect on my sensitive scalp!! 🤩 For the citrus-scented YANAGIYA Hair Tonic, it has a refreshing fragrance that is invigorating and I love how it lingers subtly throughout the day. I also noticed that my hair's resilience and thickness have improved — it feels revitalised and looks healthier. Both of them have a non-greasy formula that helps to strengthen hair, reduce breakage, and improve overall hair texture. To top my hair routine off, I use the YANAGIYA Apricot Oil. I like that my hair feels deeply nourished and remarkably lustrous, with a newfound shine that adds to its overall vitality after each use. Plus it smells really good! 😍

My journey with YANAGIYA

Overall experience
Incorporating YANAGIYA's Citrus Hair Tonic and Apricot Oil into my routine provided a refreshing experience. The Citrus Hair Tonic, with its invigorating scent, left my scalp revitalised and refreshed. Its lightweight formula did not leave any greasy residue. However, my experience with the Apricot Oil differed. When applied traditionally, I found its texture less moisturising for my hair, making it unsuitable as a dry hair serum. Due to my hair type, it tended to make my locks look oilier when dried. Despite this, I discovered an alternative use: using it as a head spa treatment. Applying the Apricot Oil to my scalp during a relaxing massage became a delightful way to nourish and pamper my hair and scalp. After a week, I noticed positive changes in my hair condition. The Hair Tonic continued to address dryness and flakiness, contributing to a healthier scalp. While unconventional, using the Apricot Oil in a head spa routine added an extra layer of indulgence. Paired with the Citrus Hair Tonic, my haircare routine has been elevated. These products refresh my scalp and nourish my locks. Overall, this dynamic duo offers a balanced approach to scalp and hair health, with the Apricot Oil finding its place in my routine as a luxurious head spa treatment rather than a traditional hair serum.

I'm picky when it comes to haircare products because I have an oily, itchy scalp as well as dry ends. As such, choosing the right brands is so important to me. After trying out YANAGIYA's hair tonic (fragrance free cool type), I immediately felt a cooling sensation that helped to relieve itch and refresh my scalp! As for the Apricot Oil, I love the mildly sweet scent and how it adds to my wavy hair! The product isn't too oily and it still keeps my hair looking smooth, glossy, and well-maintained. Would highly recommend these products to other girls who are looking for haircare products that actually work!

The YANAGIYA Hair Tonic provides a refreshing and minty sensation, delivering a cooling effect that's particularly enjoyable in Singapore's hot and humid weather. It's become a staple in my daily haircare routine. The Apricot Oil effectively nourishes my hair despite its lightweight formula. The compact packaging is also convenient for on-the-go use, and the controlled dispensing prevents any accidental spills. These features make it easy to carry around and maintain a hassle-free hair care routine wherever I go.

After receiving YANAGIYA Hair Tonic and YANAGIYA Apricot Hair Oil a week ago, I incorporated them into my hair care routine. The results were impressive, and my hair feels significantly better and well-loved. I occasionally experience sensitivity in my scalp but since I started using YANAGIYA Hair Tonic, which contains three types of effective ingredients and two moisturising elements, my hair has shown notable improvement. I particularly enjoy the refreshing sensation it provides. The Hair Tonic's special ingredients activate the hair matrix and papilla, preventing hair loss and addressing issues related to hair growth and thinning. The inclusion of natural citrus ingredients, such as orange peel extracts, gives my hair and scalp proper care. The elegant and beautiful design of the product adds to its appeal. The tonic effectively cleanses my hair, leaving it nourished and preventing dandruff and itching. To complete my haircare routine, I use YANAGIYA Apricot Botanical Oil Hair Treatment, which serves as the ultimate solution to all hair problems. Enriched with highly moisturising and emollient properties, it makes my hair softer and more pliable, preventing breakage and split ends. Apricot oil, which is rich in vitamins A and E, supports scalp health. It addresses issues like dryness and dandruff. Vitamin E promotes healthy hair growth and prevents hair loss, while also acting as a preservative against free radicals and UV damage. This weightless and non-greasy solution enhances moisture retention, improves overall texture, softness, and restores the shine of my hair. Consequently, my hair becomes stronger and healthier with each use of this Apricot Botanical Oil Hair Treatment. Using both products in tandem has accelerated my hair growth, deeply nourished my hair, and left it remarkably lustrous with a newfound shine. The fresh and cooling scent is an added bonus — these Japanese products are truly amazing. 🤩🥰

I've been diligently applying YANAGIYA's Hair Tonic to my scalp after I shower. I really like the refreshing sensation that leaves my scalp feeling squeaky clean. I also appreciate the zesty citrus scent because I appreciate fruity fragrances. Since I blow dry my hair on most nights, the Apricot Oil also comes in really handy as a heat protectant. Sometimes I apply it to my cuticles as well. The oil isn't greasy at all, which is truly impressive. Both YANAGIYA products have become part of my holy grail. It's rather relaxing to have a haircare ritual that I perform every single night and I only started doing so after testing these products!

I'm generally hesitant to apply oil-based products to my hair as I worry that my hair will take on a greasy sheen. I tried both YANAGIYA's Apricot Oil and Hair Tonic over a week and followed the instructions provided for application on dry hair. I dropped a coin-sized amount of the tonic onto my palms before applying it to my scalp in a circular motion. The tonic dried quickly and left a cooling sensation on my scalp. The citrus smell can be a little strong for some, and as someone who shies away from fragrance in skin/hair care products, I was surprised that I didn’t mind the smell. For the hair oil, the instructions said to vary the amount applied according to your hair length; I found 3 drops of hair oil sufficient. I was pleasantly surprised that the hair oil was "light" and "not too oily", as I was expecting more viscosity as typical of hair oils. The hair oil had a mild, balanced apricot scent that I found quite refreshing i.e. it was not too sweet and very inoffensive for someone with a hypersensitive sense of smell. To apply the oil, I put 3 drops into my palm and rubbed my palms together. I applied it from the middle to my hair ends as instructed, rubbing my hair between my hands and shaking it out to spread the oil more evenly. Right after application, I noticed that my hair looked more voluminous than before and my curls became more apparent. I thought it was interesting that the apricot hair oil had multiple uses. I tested one of its alternative uses and applied the hair oil to my cuticles. While the oil moisturises the skin, I have not yet observed any noticeable long-term effects. Overall, I am quite pleased with both products. Although I have yet to see any significant changes to my hair, I will add these products to my regular rotation. My only gripe is that they are not travel-friendly!

I'm often in search of effective haircare products to reduce my hair loss and improve the condition of my damaged and extremely dry hair. However, it is difficult to find something suitable because some products cause side effects like scalp irritation, itchiness, and allergic reactions. After using both the YANAGIYA Hair Tonic and Anzu (Apricot) Botanical Oil for a week, the condition of my hair and scalp has certainly improved. The hair tonic leaves my scalp feeling so refreshed after each application, thanks to its cooling sensation and nice citrus scent. I also don't experience any unpleasant irritation or side effects like I did with other haircare products that I previously used. I noticed an improvement and saw a few baby hairs on my bald spot; my scalp isn't as dry as previously and not overly greasy too. I just need to gently massage the tonic into the scalp. I believe it is because of the ingredients, such as sialic extract and herballicorice, that helps with the regeneration of my hair roots and increase blood circulation. As for the Apricot Botanical Hair Oil, I love its lightweight texture and mild apricot scent. Since I am always seeking natural ingredients without additives, I was delighted to discover that it was extracted from natural apricot seeds. This product also won first place for "Best Cosmetics Awards in Hair Care Category" by COSME for two years in a row. Previously, I had tangled and dry hair. But now, my hair is easy to comb, not entangled, and I no longer worry about breaking my comb. The whole application process is easy and convenient. The product is handy to carry around, so I can bring it to my workplace too. The oil gets absorbed by my hair ends quickly and the results are amazing — my hair became soft, smooth, and silky.

When it comes to hair products, the first thing I pay attention to is scent! As my tresses are both long and thick, the fragrance of any oil or tonic that I apply will end up lingering for a long time, so nothing but the best-smelling products will do. After trying YANAGIYA's Hair Tonic and Apricot Oil, I'm pleased to say that both products deliver on that front and more. The hair tonic has helped make my hair stronger and my scalp feel fresher, while the hair oil keeps the drier ends of my locks moisturised. I also love that neither makes my mane feel greasy, which is always a concern when applying oil-based hair products in a high-humidity environment. Overall, I would certainly recommend both products to anyone whose hair could use a little extra TLC, especially those who enjoy light, minty, and uplifting scents. It's worth noting that the apricot oil is fantastic for taking with you on the go, thanks to its compact size and break-proof packaging — I'd love to see a more travel-friendly bottle for the Hair Tonic!

My scalp has always been towards the oily and itchy side — no matter what type of products I try or how many times I scrub and massage my scalp. As for my hair ends, they have always has been dry. I dye my hair often, which makes my hair very frizzy. I am sceptical about purchasing and trying out new hair products. When I came across this YANAGIYA product trial, I went to do some research before signing up. I have heard of the brand before and how effective it is. The other products that I previously tried did not help with my oily scalp and frizzy hair. After trying the Hair Tonic, my scalp itches less. It feels light on the scalp; there's no burning sensation. It also leaves a light citrus scent, which makes my hair smell good and fresh. As for the Apricot Oil, I applied it on my hair ends before blow drying my hair. As advertised on the packaging, it offers protection against heat and UV rays. Even after blow-drying my hair on medium heat, my hair ends did not feel frizzy or dry. The hair oil really helped as a layer of protection against the heat from the hair dryer. Another plus point was that the head oil can also be used for a hair spa before shampooing. That was new to me so I definitely had to try it out. The experience was as nice as it sounds. After washing the product off, there was a cooling sensation on my scalp, making it feel clean even though I did not shampoo my hair yet. Will I continue to use the hair tonic and hair oil? Definitely! It has solved my itchy and oily scalp as well as dry hair problems. And I no longer have to try out new products anymore as YANAGIYA's products are now my go-tos!

YANAGIYA Hair Tonic helps to prevent hair loss and enhance hair growth. There is no menthol smell and my scalp does not sting or hurt. It is very gentle on the hair and feels just like water. I used a hair massager to massage my scalp. In about a week, I noticed that there were fewer strands of hair on the floors of my house. I use Yanagiya Apricot Oil after shampooing my hair. It can be used before or after drying my hair with a hairdryer and acts as a heat protectant. Alternatively, I use it to keep my hair shiny after it dries. I like to apply it when my hair is semi-dry. You just need about 2-3 drops of the oil if your hair is mid-length. Be careful to not apply too much. Otherwise, your hair may become too oily. I usually rub any extra oil on my nail cuticles. After using the oil for the very first time, my hair became so smooth and less tangled. PS. My hair was very straight and the volume increased with time too!

I recently decided to give my hair care routine a boost, and I stumbled upon the perfect combination: YANAGIYA's Hair Tonic and Apricot Oil. Let me tell you, this dynamic duo has truly transformed my hair, and I can't stop raving about it. The Hair Tonic is a game-changer. Its watery formula feels invigorating on the scalp, and I noticed an immediate improvement in the overall health of my hair. The tonic contains treatment essences extracted from herbs and organic plants that seem to work magic. It is fragrance-free with cool type that I particularly appreciate, which it's not greasy and doesn't weigh down my hair, making it perfect for daily use. After using it for a while, I feel the blood circulation for my scalp is better with less hair loss. Now, let's talk about the Apricot Oil. This gem has become a staple in my haircare routine. The natural goodness of Apricot Oil is evident in its ability to nourish and hydrate my hair, not to mention I also use the extra oil for my body. I use it as a leave-in treatment, and the results are phenomenal. My hair feels softer, and more manageable, and the frizz is noticeably reduced. The oil has a lovely, subtle scent that adds a touch of luxury to the entire experience. What I love most about this pairing is the compatibility of the products. The Hair Tonic and Apricot Oil seem to complement each other perfectly. The tonic preps my scalp, creating an optimal environment for the apricot oil to work its magic on the lengths and ends of my hair. Additionally, both products come in eco-friendly packaging, which aligns with my commitment to sustainable living. The thoughtful design and quality ingredients make this duo a standout in the crowded world of hair care products. If you're looking to elevate your hair care routine, I highly recommend YANAGIYA's Hair Tonic and Apricot Oil combination. Nourishing and revitalising, it will promote healthier hair growth and leave your hair looking and feeling absolutely fabulous.

I tried the YANAGIYA Hair Tonic in Citrus & Fragrance-free cool type. Both help to prevent itching and dandruff. They also improve blood circulation and promote new hair growth. I use the tonic after shampooing and towel-drying my hair and it always feels so good on my scalp. It's perfect for a head spa; all I need to do is massage the hair tonic into my scalp. After using this for a week 2 times a day, I do find more fine baby hair growing in areas where my hair was slightly thinner. Yay! The Apricot Oil has no parabens or additives and contains naturally derived ingredients. I love the light apricot scent and that it is a multi-purpose oil that can also be used on my body and nails. I like to apply this after I towel-dry my hair as it helps to protect my hair from heat and UV damage. It also prevents split ends and repairs my damaged hair. It's not super oily too. In fact, after I drip a few drops on my palms, the oil gets absorbed quickly by my hair strands. My hair doesn't feel greasy and feels more moisturised after using it for a week. I also noticed fewer split ends too!

I was first exposed to YANAGIYA at an onsen in Singapore; it was provided at the vanity counter. I tried the tangerine hair tonic — it was very refreshing and the scent was very nice. I have not seen the brand before and had a good impression of it. I am grateful that I get to try the menthol hair tonic this time, along with their hair and body oil. For the hair tonic, I could see a slight difference after using it for a week. I see a bit more baby hair in the parts I apply to (near my forehead). I will continue to use it to see if there are more results over time. For the hair and body oil, I really love that it can be used all over my body. I usually use body lotion and was afraid that the oil may stain clothes or furniture after application but it is surprisingly absorbent. Overall, I have a good impression of the brand and would purchase it if I saw it in retail stores.
