SEE/SAW Shampoo Types | The Differences Between B, S and T and How to Choose
SEE/SAW is a hair care series from Lebel. The shampoo and treatment each come in 3 types: B, S and T. The difference is how stiff or soft the hair is. The scent is shared by all 3 types and is described as a clear fragrance combining about 60 scent ingredients.
How to choose B, S or T
For stiff hair that spreads, T (Tight); for soft hair that tangles easily, S (Smooth); if neither applies or you want to even out the whole head, B (Balance).

How to tell how stiff your hair is
Pinch a single dry hair and run it between your fingers: if it has resilience and tries to spring back, it is on the stiff side; if it bends right away, it is on the soft side. People whose surface spreads after blow-drying tend to fit T, and people whose roots go flat and ends tangle tend to fit S. If only the ends are in a different condition due to coloring or perms, choosing by the condition at the roots makes mistakes less likely.
How the shampoo feels
As the name "Hair & Scalp Shampoo" suggests, the shampoo washes both hair and scalp. The maker explains that it washes with a creamy lather while preventing friction between hairs.
Clear Oil and Clear Milk for finishing
| Product | Maker's description | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Clear Oil Flat | For beautifully sleek styles. Shine that softly smooths the surface | 80ml ¥4,180 |
| Clear Oil Sharp | For styles with beautiful movement. Shine that softly shows dimension | 80ml ¥4,180 |
| Clear Milk Natural | For fresh styles. Shine that softly tidies even high-tone hair | 80ml ¥4,180 |
Whereas B, S and T are chosen by hair type, these are chosen by the style you want. As a guide, Flat if you wear your hair straight down, Sharp for curls or cuts with movement, and Natural for bleached or high-tone hair.
