I bought this product for my daughter who had heard a lot of great things about it. What I like about it is that is a small size, so if it doesn't suit or agree with her hair it won't matter so much. They are promoted as trial size, which is exactly what it is ideal for - trying it out to see if you like it or not. While it is promoted as trial size, it is also ideal as a travel size. There are about two washes per sachet. The honey scent is very nice and I noticed that it created a rich, silky lather when she brought it to and used it in the hot spring. It is supposed to hydrate and give softness yet gloss. Her hair was already beautiful and glossy, so I am not sure how effective it was.

It is very hard to tell the true effectiveness of a trial size of beauty products. But the biggest grievance I have with these type of products is that these single‑use sachets are not eco‑friendly and create unnecessary plastic waste. They are no doubt useful for some people, as it is nice to have a sample size before committing to a larger more expensive size, but I wonder if there is not a better way they could sell them. Because the sachets contain limited product, it’s difficult to judge long‑term results, and the small amount may not be enough for thick or long hair. It’s a convenient trial size, but not the most sustainable option.
