This would appeal to those who regularly eat salmon, since salmon is rich in omega-3, a high-quality protein, and also contains large amounts of vitamin B12 and iron. As a result, the rate of hair loss and thinning among Japanese people is lower than that of populations in Western countries. Today's Japanese teenagers are especially passionate about hair fashion — using various chemicals on their hair, including straightening, perming, and frequent dyeing — yet they still have a very low rate of hair loss and thinning. This shows that diet truly plays a role in making hair strong.
Before getting to the review, let me give some background: personally, I have a problem with excess oil on my scalp — simply put, my head is incredibly oily — which leads to frequent itching that becomes annoying and affects my appearance. Sometimes my friends even give me looks of disgust. This makes me keep reminding myself to shampoo frequently every day, but as everyone knows, the more you wash, the more hair falls out, so my hair has thinned a lot from what it used to be.
Alright, now that you know the condition of my hair, let's get on with the review.
Claims
"Helps nourish and care for hair roots and scalp, reduce hair fall, address dandruff and scalp itching, help stimulate fallen hair to regrow faster, make hair soft, silky, shiny, and weightful, with ingredients from Thai herbs: Butterfly Pea Flower, Aloe Vera, Soapnut, and Kaffir Lime"
The first item is AloEx Hair Root Nourishing Shampoo.
Packaging: AloEx (Shampoo)
Product texture: AloEx (Shampoo)
Scent: AloEx (Shampoo)
Sensation during use
While washing, you get a light cool sensation and a pleasant herbal scent. The lather may not be as much as regular shampoo, which made me feel it wasn't as satisfying as the chemical shampoos I used to use. So I ended up pumping a lot more shampoo.
Sensation immediately after use
Wow, it's really good. Using it gives your head a light, airy feeling — like a hair detox. Hair looks light, clean, and pristine. After use, the hair isn't oily like it used to be. As for the herbal scent — before use it seems quite strong, but after washing it doesn't linger in the hair for very long, which is just right.
Sensation after using for 1 week

Availability and value for money
Compared to regular chemical shampoos, AloEx shampoo and serum may be a little harder to find since they are sold in fewer places. But that's not really a problem, since they're available online — through the page's Facebook, LINE AloExOfficial, and the website www.aloexhair.com — and several stores carry them too, such as eveandboy, Beautrium, and Sun Cosmate. For me, they're not hard to find at all since I shop at eveandboy frequently anyway.
As for value for money, the AloEx shampoo and serum are sold as a set for 1,500 baht per box. While it may seem more expensive than regular shampoo, when you factor in the serum and the benefits you actually get, for me it's at a price point I can accept — worth it for the results.
Summary
AloEx shampoo and serum do a good job reducing scalp oiliness and also reduce scalp itching. When combing hair — whether wet or dry — hair no longer falls out onto the comb as much as before. Hair may feel a little rough when combing, which I consider fine, because before I was secretly worried that if I kept letting my hair be oily and kept losing hair, my scalp would eventually go bald. But after trying this product, even though the price is a bit high, the results meet my needs well — so it's worth it, and I'm quite happy with it.
