I accidentally came came across Elence 2001, a japanese haircare line produced by a company named Marna when I was ordering my usual japanese shampoos, so I decided to give this a try aswell.

Here es what the description says about this shampoo:
"Recommended for anyone who wishes to have long hair in short period of time.

Contain 24 herbal extracts that promote fast hair growth and treat gently hair damage at the same time. (Swertia herb, Ginseng, Sophora root, Isodonis, Linden, Horsetail, Calendula, Chamomile, Birch, Rosemary, Sage, Arnica, Mallow,Hypericum among them)

Help to prevent hair loss and suplly nutrients to promote health scalp. "

There are 3 versions to choose from:
EX1 - stiff wiry hair
EX2 - soft fine hair
EX3 - fluffy, curly & chemically straighten hair

I picked the EX2 and the EX3 but only tested EX3 so far and here is what I have to say about it:

The shampoo comes in a clear plastic bottle with a black cap and contains 320ml. The shampoo itself is tinted brown and the texture is very runny, so it may be a bit hard to massage it in your hair as it tends to run between your fingers due to its very watery texture. The scent is also very discreet, nothing like a flower bomb or sweet scent and it doesn't linger for a log time at all, so if you're a fan of strong fragranced shampoos, this may bug you.
The results this shampoo provides are a blast! Though the EX3 seems to be the "heaviest" (like the one which nourishes the most) among the 3 lines, it doesn't make my hair feel heavy or look dull but gives me a high gloss and such bouncy and manageable hair. Very nourishing and hydrating formula. Combing is so easy and I also noticed less knots in my hair. And one of the most important things: my scalp doesn't get oily that fast and I didn't notice any itching sensations so far, so this shampoo is also very gentle. Otherwise I would have stop using it. I highly recommend trying this shampoo as it really exceeded all of my expectations. You can see the results in the gallery, as I uploaded some pictures of my hair after I've used this shampoo.

The only thing I couldn't find anywhere was the exact ingredient list, but I'll update as soon as I find it.
