Yanagiya Apricot Oil Hair Cream

The Apricot Oil Hair Cream from Yanagiya is one of those items I´d probably pass by without noticing in a Japanese drugstore as the whole thing is printed in Japanese so I´d have no clue what this stuff is =)

But thanks to Sasa I am the owner of this wonderful stuff and I am glad they have this up for grabs on their site. (Oh I just got my VIP membership there so I am saving 5% on everything from now on yay!)
For US$7.90 you get a large 160g tube which will probably last an eternity given the small amount you need for each application. Very good value for money in my opinion!


The Apricot Oil Hair Cream can be applied to towel-dry or dry hair and (according to Sasa) deeply moisturizes your hair with apricot oil, smooths frizziness and makes it shiny and radiant. It also prevents damage from blow-drying. This is also supposed to have a non-greasy texture. This is a leave-in treatment so it doesn´t require to be rinsed off.

I totally agree with Sasa as this stuff really makes my hair super soft and shiny and just makes it so pleasant to touch it.
The cream has definitely an oily texture so Sasa is not right in that point. So one must take very little as otherwise hair can get greasy. I use about 2cm and spread it evenly, especially on the lower 2/3 of my hair.

The Apricot Oil Hair Cream has a very light yummy apricot scent (but really light, barely detectable).

I highly recommend this stuff if you have dry, damaged and/or frizzy hair!
