Since I permed my hair about 4 months back, I find that the hair ends are especially dry. I’ve been using Shiseido’s Crystallizing Aquafix but then I stopped when I found that maybe the hair moisturiser is meant more for straight hair. So off I went to search for a hair moisturiser and that’s when I chanced upon Liese Hair Cocktail Moisturizing Hair Serum at Watsons.
I believe this range of hair care product from Kao is pretty new in Malaysia but has been a best seller in Japan, from what I see on the label prints of the Liese range of hair care products.
The thing about the Liese Hair Cocktail Moisturizing Hair Serum is that it comes in 2 available options, one with a Light label and the other just the name of the hair serum. I decided to take the Light version to try out first. When I read the labels on both the bottles, I couldn’t tell any difference between them as they were printed with exactly the same stuff.
This Liese Hair Cocktail Moisturizing Hair Serum (Light) that I got comes in a blue-green mixture of nourishing water and anti-frizz oil. On the label, it says that the bottle needs to be shaken before use so that the water and oil will mix. At each application, it is advised that you use just a little at a time to apply on wet or dry hair. This is so that it doesn’t wear the hair down. You may apply several times but each time, use a small amount as indicated on the label.
So how did I find this hair serum? Not too bad. I especially love the smell of the peach and prune extracts. Very delicious indeed! The scent actually reminds me of the smell of the once-famous Dew Berry collection from Body Shop.
But the scent actually doesn’t last on the hair at all, it smells delicious during application but I found that it soon disappears. It’s also non-sticky on the hair after application, so I like that too. It doesn’t make the hair look oily either. I’ve tried using the hair serum both on dry and wet hair, and I found that when using on wet hair, the serum tends to disappear a lot faster and I tend to use more of it on wet hair compared to when the hair is dry.
The hair does feel more moisturised and it does the trick of my other hair care product, which is a cream that gives curly hair a boost. That cream hardens the hair, as if I’ve applied some gel. So when this hair serum can keep my hair just as moisturised and wavy, I cut down the use of the curls booster.
When this bottle is used up, I think I will give the other option a try and see if there’s any difference, whether or not it’s a stronger concentrate of this light version. Will write more about that when it happens. But coming up not too long from now will be a review of another Kao’s Liese product, Liese Juicy Shower. No it’s not a shower cream. It’s a hydrating hair mist! If you would like to know how well that works, do stay tuned.
Liese Hair Cocktail Moisturizing Hair Serum retails at RM32 per 120ml bottle at Watsons. I’m sure it’s priced around there at Guardian outlets too.

hi!
i want to ask something,
what is the difference between Hair Cocktail Moisturizing Hair Serum, Juicy Shower, and Hair Cocktail Moisturizing Hair Serum ?
The “Hair Cocktail” serum is for EXTREMELY dry and damaged hair, while the “Juicy Shower” is to moisten your normal to dry, rough, damaged hair, and also acts as an anti-frizz.
