I’m not committed to any shampoo, conditioner, or hair treatment…except for 100% pure organic Argan Oil.

Although I have plenty of favourites, I’m usually willing to try something new, in case it performs better.

Since February, I’ve been testing out the new Orofluido Asia haircare line, which includes these four key products:

• Orofluido Asia Zen Control Shampoo
• Orofluido Asia Zen Control Conditioner
• Orofluido Asia Zen Control Elixir
• Orofluido Asia Zen Control Mask

I wanted to experience the full effect of the Orofluido haircare, so I used them as they were designed to be used – together. (Well, the Mask, I only applied once a week, as recommended by Stanley Ipkiss. Hehe, I couldn’t resist!) 😉

Of course, I realize that not everyone is willing to invest in an entire new haircare line, so read my complete review, and you’ll learn what my recommendation is, if you plan to try only one product first.

The Orofluido Asia haircare line can be found at Trade Secrets and select salons.

Orofluido Asia Haircare Overview

Touted as being the “Zen Beauty Ritual,” the Orofluido Asia haircare line promises to:

• Provide exceptional frizz control
• Promote elasticity
• Improve smoothness

Is Orofluido Asia Haircare Right for You?

These products have been designed for those who have dry, coarse, or brittle hair that gets frizzy when the weather is humid.

I’m a prime candidate because my hair has a mind of its own. It’s naturally curly, but I style it straight on a daily basis. It’s on the dry side, and it gets frizzy when the weather gets even remotely humid. (Sometimes, I think I must’ve been a poodle in a previous life, even though I identify with and prefer cats way more.)

If your hair goes bonkers at the drop of humidity or you want to achieve smooth and healthy-looking hair, you’ll want to check this line out.

However, if you have pin-straight and/or limp hair, I don’t think this will be the ideal haircare line to address your needs. (It may leave you looking like a wet chihuahua or a poor kitty scurrying to find dry shelter. No bueno!)

Orofluido Asia Haircare Line Ingredients

Three main ingredients are at the heart of the Orofluido Asia haircare line: Tsubaki Oil, Bamboo Extract, and Rice Oil.

Tsubaki (Camellia) Oil

Additionally, the Shampoo, Conditioner, and Mask are formulated with Panthenol and Hydrolyzed Corn Starch.

Hydrolyzed Corn Starch

Orofluido Asia Haircare Fragrance

All of the products have a light, sensual, fruity-floral fragrance that smells the strongest in the shower and remains delicately on the hair throughout the day. (The Elixir, which is used after showering also has a gentle fragrance.)

It’s the kind of scent that is mild enough, so your hair smells lovely, but it won’t compete with an eau de parfum you’re wearing.

I am very particular about the way things smell, as overly strong or obnoxious scents can easily give me a headache or annoy me if they mix with my perfume and wind up making me smell gross.

Thankfully, the Orofluido Asia haircare products smell pleasant on their own, as well as when I wore perfume. They have a gentle fragrance that I would describe as being sophisticated and warm, while being suitable for every day.

While there’s a hint of sweetness, it’s not cloying or youthful like candy. It’s more of an elevated and elegant kind of sweetness, such as when you smell a blossom at its peak.

A Breakdown of the Fragrance

Top Notes

The top notes are fruity with a combination of red berries and mandarin orange.

Don’t worry if you’re not the biggest fan of citrus because I found that note to be very diluted. It’s not a sharp orange that makes your nostrils flare. (Hehe, or is it just my nostrils that behave that way?)

Middle Notes

At the heart are floral notes with camellia and white flowers. Again, this scent isn’t overbearing – quite soft and pleasant.

Base Notes

Here are the notes that contribute to the warmth that I identified earlier: soft gourmand caramel, sandalwood, and amber.

Orofluido Asia Zen Control Shampoo Review

Just like how I would use any other shampoo, I first wet my hair and massaged a quarter-sized dollop in. It lathered easily. Then, I rinsed it out and repeated it.

After this, my hair and scalp felt clean, but not stripped of moisture. However, I still felt that, for my hair type, applying a conditioner afterwards is a must.

The bottle is standard, in that it has a ‘see-saw’ cap that you push down on one end to pop up the other side and dispense the product. It’s easy to open and close, even when your hands are wet.

On a superficial note, I like the packaging design because none of my haircare is red, so this one stands out in the shower. (I have severe myopia and wear glasses, so in the shower, I am nearly blind. It’s nice that the red is so bright because it’s easy to see.)

The black flowers on the packaging are a beautiful touch that, someone with better eyes than me, could appreciate in the shower. (Being a nail-polish junkie, it totally reminds me of nail art! I can totally see someone posting a My-Orofluido-Asia-Shampoo-and-My-Nails photo on Instagram.)

Verdict: 7/10

Orofluido Asia Zen Control Conditioner Review

On wet hair, after shampooing, I massaged this in, avoiding my roots, and I let it sit there for a few minutes while I washed the rest of my body. (To evenly distribute the product, you can use a comb, but I just used my fingers.) Afterwards, I rinsed it off thoroughly, and my hair felt softer and not dry.

The consistency of this conditioner is thinner than what I typically use, however, it works and offers light hydration.

I appreciate how the conditioner comes with a pump, so you can quickly and easily dispense only what you need. I used two small pumps.

Turning the nozzle one way closes it, and turning it the other way, opens it. This also helps to keep the product fresher for longer.

Aside from the practicality of a pump, I also like this feature because, again, I’m very near-sighted, so it helps me to quickly distinguish the conditioner from the shampoo without having to pick it up and read the label centimetres in front of my eyes.

Verdict: 8/10

Orofluido Asia Zen Control Elixir Review

As with any leave-in treatment, it’s important to use the right amount. If you are overzealous and use too much, you’ll wind up with greasy, limp tresses, but if you use too little, you won’t get all the benefits. (Basically, you use it in a similar fashion as you would with Argan Oil, which, by the way, is what I love using after I wash my hair. I’ve also used it in conjunction with these Orofluido products, and my hair wasn’t greasy.)

I have fine hair, but a lot of it (according to my hairdresser), so I poured out approximately a less-than-a-nickel-sized dollop. Then, I rubbed it between the palms of my hands before smoothing it onto my damp, towel-dried hair, avoiding the roots. Afterwards, I blowdried my hair and styled as usual.

There are three things that I really like about the Elixir.

Firstly, it doesn’t feel greasy. My hair drank it up, and there wasn’t any nasty, uncomfortable residue. (Some products drive me crazy and make my hair feel dirty, even though I just washed it. This wasn’t the case here.)

Secondly, unscrewing the cap reveals the mouth of the bottle, which has a tiny opening. This helps you pour out the product slowly and not have to worry about accidentally dumping out too much too quickly.

Thirdly, you only need a small amount to enjoy the benefits, which means that even a small bottle will last you a long time.

What I disliked about the Elixir is that the bottle is made of glass. This makes me nervous to knock it over by mistake and leave a big mess in my bathroom that the washroom fairies won’t help me clean up!

I think they use glass because it helps to keep the contents fresher for longer. I just put it in my bathroom cupboard where I have less chance to knock it over.

Verdict: 9/10

Orofluido Asia Zen Control Mask Review

This is meant to be used as a weekly treatment for those with fine hair or more frequently for those who have thicker hair.

I use it every other time I wash my hair, and I have noticed the benefits.

The packaging is a standard chubby tub with a wide, screw-on lid that’s easy to open and close with wet hands in the shower. Again, I like how the packaging is red, so it’s easy for me to spot.

Verdict: 9/10

 

Overall Thoughts on the Orofluido Asia Haircare Line

I was impressed with the Orofluido Asia haircare line because I noticed results right from the beginning, and with each subsequent use, I continued to enjoy the benefits.

With repeated use, my hair didn’t keep getting better and better, though. The benefits I noticed immediately are the ones that remained, and I was pleased with the results.

While it’s a good idea to use the products in conjunction with each other, if you’re looking to (figuratively speaking) dip your toes into just one product to test it out, my strongest recommendation is that you try the Elixir.

Tied for first place would be the Mask.

Next, I would suggest the Conditioner, and lastly, I would recommend the Shampoo. (There’s nothing wrong with the Shampoo, but compared to the other products in the line, the results it produced weren’t as extreme.)
