One of the unique selling point of Ichikami shampoo is, it does not contain any silicon ( a chemical ingredient gives a result of silky smooth hair right after you wash; however it may result in hair fall in a long run ) Hence, Ichikami gives you a healthier scalp as well, this is very important to reproduce healthier hair while enjoy refreshing and fruity Sakura fragrance.

Yet another favourite Japanese drugstore haircare product from many ladies in Asia, then there must be a reason why its so much well-loved, isn't it?
 
And so I picked this up from Liang Court, when there was a Japanese fair going on, with the set of 40ml shampoo and conditioner for $3.90.


The packaging is simple, without any unnecessary frills, with white colour to denote as the shampoo and black colour as the conditioner.
The scent is there, strong when I take a sniff but dissipate pretty quickly when I lather on my hair.

The shampoo is a pearl-like colour with a slight sheen and the conditioner is of a heavier consistency with a milky beige colour. The shampoo lathers very well and cleanse well. The conditioner helps to make the hair softer though I tried pairing with other brands of conditioner and it also works fine.
 
Both products when paired together, gave me slightly smoother and detangled hair. Not the best, but works better than most hair products I used before.
 
Their Ichikami Premium Mask, was ranked as No. 1 under ‘Hair Pack/ Treatment’ category in 2010 at cosme.net so perhaps that may be the next hair mask I am getting. But first, I have to get past my tons of hair products waiting to be used.

You can check out the rest of the products on their website
I derived the ingredient list from the sources below but I am not sure if its the correct ones, because in the conditioner ingredient list below, it does contain silicones (dimethicone).
