Hello lovelies!
~~ OMG ~~
I just accidentally deleted my whole post while trying to edit in a comparison table in the html section! OMG! I did not delete it at first but it is after several tries yet I still cannot get it
*give up,*
Can comment down below to help a fellow IT dummy here? thanks so much!
*don't wanna give up, yet*
~~ So sad ~~
Anyway, it started out with "Who cannot live without hair oil / capsule?"
blah blah blah...
Okay, lemme think, I got my first hair capsule product in Form 2 I think. It was a birthday gift from Ms N. *thank you* That was when I first knew about the existence and had it incorporated into my super lazy hair care routine (daily shampoo with 1 or 2 times of conditioner in 1 week). Thanks to the hair capsule, my hair is less frizzy.
About 2 to 3 years ago, I bleached (twice) half of my shoulder-length hair for the first time coz I finally decided to go for a dip-dyed purple. Oh well. It did not last very long and I dyed and dyed my hair for around 2 times annually. Hair oils then became my must have in my hair care routine (daily shampoo, conditioner & hair oil ; treatment once to twice in a week). I feel like my hair ends are like the clip on fake hair I got from taobao. Ohmygod. That is why my first ever Althea Haul was more on the maintenance on parts that people might not really notice or bother. *lol*
The 2 hair oil today is my Must-Have where ever I go:

Answers to questions I think you will ask me (all answers are based on my current hair length and condition):
![]() |
This is my current hair length. Ends are dry. If I do not use conditioner, I think my hair will all be tangled. |
1) Smell?
I like Yungo better coz it is perfum-ish flowery smell while Mise en scene is more of the powdery and later turn sweet-ish smell. Both smell do not linger for too long. Yungo scent, I think, is slightly more lasting on my hair.
2) Texture?
Yungo is more watery/runny while Mise en scene is more concentrated & gel-ish.
3) Which is needed more to optimally moisturise my hair?
I think I needed to pump more for Yungo (5 pumps) coz Mise en scene (4 pumps) is more gel-ish so it feels like a little goes a long way. The next morning, half to one more pump of Mise en scene is needed to detangle the morning hair. The same applies to Yungo.
Conclusion: Yungo= 5.5 pumps while Mise en scene 4.5 pumps
Conclusion: Yungo= 5.5 pumps while Mise en scene 4.5 pumps
4) Is it oily when you go wash your hands right after application?
Yungo: surprisingly not oily :))
Mise en scene: surprisingly not at all! But if you pump too much and there is excess, yes it does!!and shampoo also cannot remove the greasy feeling :/
5) Effectiveness?
I think Mise en scene is better than Yungo coz I have a little hair tangled after 1 or 2 days of application of yungo.
6) Cost?
Mise en scene is cheaper compared to Yungo.
Promotional price of Mise en scene is 28 (at Hermo) and 31 (at Althea) while Yungo is kinda limited to ebay and other sites that I do not really frequent, Rm52.90 (at koreansbymalaysia.com and also at a blog)
Non-promotional price for Mise en scene is RM59.00 while Yungo is RM59.90
7) Repurchase?
If there is only two choice, then Mise en scene is my pick! Would love to check out Althea other hair care product and see how they fare on my dry hair.
Just a quickie, I have recently discover this new love, a conditioner that works so so well that I maybe no longer need capsule or hair oil anymore. Hmm..will ask for more feedback and do a compilative review soon ;)
