4 Cheap Keratin Conditioners in the Philippines

Monday, June 01, 2020

     Move over, hair conditioner because these babies are making a scene in the hair care department. Half of my life I've been using different brands of conditioner to make my hair shiny, manageable, and frizz-free. I was born with straight but thin and limp hair that's prone to breakage and hair fall. When I started using different hair dyes to sport the shades that I like every three months, my hair started to feel rough and dry. Chemicals in the dye that I've used in the past are already taking its toll on my hair that's why I need an intensive hair treatment every now and then.

     Salon hair treatments are expensive and should be done twice or once a month. The price also depends on the type of treatment and hair length. Speaking of which, Keratin Treatments are the talk of the town when it comes to resurrecting health and shine in a super dry and damaged hair.  Since hair salons will not be opening soon because of the pandemic, a DIY or at-home hair care product is a must. In a random grocery shopping during the enhanced community quarantine period, I discovered hidden gems that function like salon keratin treatment- 1-minute Keratin Conditioners that can be used daily at the comfort of your home. Sharing a short feature of the 4 Cheap Keratin Conditioners I'm using alternately every day.

Why Switch to Natural Hair Care Products?

Thursday, November 29, 2018

     In this fast-paced life, we crave practical solutions to everyday problems. Finding such solutions is a struggle for us women, especially in hair care, skin care, and nail care departments. That's why we still have reservations when we see a new, promising product in the market. Consider our hair – and the products we use to take care of it. Some of us go through years of road testing before we find the right shampoo and conditioner for our crowning glory. Do your current hair care products fail to work – or is dandruff still a big problem? That’s a sign that you should make a switch.

     Commercial shampoos and conditioners use harsh chemicals that strip natural oils from your scalp. It's much better to try other options, like herbal hair products, that are made from natural ingredients. Let me share the importance of using gentle hair care solutions as a treatment for dandruff, right after the jump!

Product Review: David's Salon Morrocan Argan Oil Hair Masque

Tuesday, January 03, 2017

     My color-treated hair is not easy to manage. I always make sure to use hair treatment products that will lessen dryness and damage caused by chemicals like hair dyes. I'm not new to hair treatment mask that contains Morrocan argan oil, in fact I've tried a handful of brands in the past and I can say they're all effective in making tresses shiny and healthy.

     Last year, David's Salon gave me a full sized tub of their Morrocan Argan Oil Hair Masque. This type of masque promises to repair and nourish damage hair, give color-treated hair moisture and prevent split ends plus it can reduces frizz. All these promises sound pleasing to the ears for someone like me who aims to still have healthy hair after compromising its condition to monthly hair abusing coloring. So without further ado, sharing with you a quick review of  David's Salon Morrocan Argan Oil Hair Masque below :)

Product Review: Tony Moly Make HD Silk Argan Oil

Thursday, October 01, 2015

     Hi dearies! I miss doing product reviews and drafts are already piling up again. My apologies for the lack of beauty, hair, and skin care updates. Anyhoo, here's a short review of my favorite hair care product as of the moment. I presume that you've already heard of Argan Oil and its uses. I've tried different beauty oils before and if I'll dig into my archive, I can say that I highly recommend argan oil for both hair and body. 

    Argan Oil is sometimes called "liquid gold" because of the benefits that you can get from head to toe. I I've tried an argan oil from another brand but I find it too heavy and it has a funky smell. So when I received this product from Tony Moly, my hopes of using argan oil in my hair rise again. More details about Tony Moly Make HD Silk Argan Oil below :)
Product Review: Tony Moly Make HD Silk Argan Oil

  • Argan oil essence treating damaged hair with intensive care nutrition.
  • This product provide hair healthy elastic care.
  • Contains fermented vegetable oil which give rich moisturizing and nutrition to the damaged hair.
  • Absorbs easily by the hair.
     
     My hair is easy to manage because I just let my hair dry by itself. After using a towel, I will just comb it and apply this oil from Tony Moly. Yes, I apply it on my towel-dried hair. If you're thinking that it will just mix with my damp hair, no it will not. So when my hair is already dry, I can say that less frizz and the baby hairs are tamed.

Product Review: Tony Moly Make HD Silk Argan Oil
This product comes in a pump bottle. It's tad gold in color

What I like:

  • The price- I consider it affordable because it contains 85 ml of product in a bottle.
  • The packaging is sleek and travel friendly. It also comes with a pump that dispenses the right amount of product.
  • The smell- this argan oil smells nice. It doesn't have the cooking oil smell.
  • A little amount goes a long way.
  • The texture of this argan oil from Tony Moly is thick but easily absorbed once applied on my hair.
  • I love that it's not sticky nor greasy after application. I can say that it's velvety smooth.
  • It doesn't weigh down my hair and it really controls the frizz.
  • I have thin and limp hair but after applying this product, I can say that it looks a bit thicker.
  • My color-treated hair looks shiny and healthy.
  • Easily accessible.

What I don't like:

  • None so far!

Will I repurchase? YES!

Recommendation:
     I give this a 5/5 rating. I'm surprised that this product is at par with my favorite hair serum from a high end brand. I can say that this can be a close dupe in terms of the results and effects on my hair. If you're the type who likes applying hair care products to tame the frizz, then I highly recommend this to you. The scent of Tony Moly Make HD Silk Argan Oil is also something to look forward to because there's no 'cooking oil' kind of smell which I've sniffed from the past beauty oils that I've tried.

     
Have you this product from Tony Moly? What's your favorite hair serum?

Good Times!~

     I'm so excited to share with you my review on Tony Moly Make HD Argan Oil. The moment I received some of these products from Tony Moly, my heart skipped because these quick beauty fixes are what I really need right now.

     The crazy hot weather we are experiencing throughout the day prevents me from wearing bb creams and liquid foundation which I find heavy on skin so when I saw this new cc cream variant from Tony Moly, I've tried it immediately and so amazed on my first try. Another product that I fell in love with is the Tony Moly Make HD Argan Oil. I think I've found a close dupe to one of my favorite hair serums that's heavy on the pocket. Will muse about my experience on my next post.

Product Review: Skin Beautanicals Organic Arbutin Soap with Argan Oil

Monday, January 19, 2015

     I've been suffering from dry and flaky skin for months now. It started last December because of the cold weather. I'm used to this condition and I'm sure that I'm not alone. The colder the weather, the drier the skin because the humidity level (moisture in the air) tends to be lower than the usual during cold months. So it's not an excuse to ditch the moisturizers even if you have normal skin/oily skin types during cold months cause your skin will be needing it too.

     Aside from creams and lotions that contain moisturizers, we also need to look for a soap or body wash that will help lock in moisture in our skin after taking a bath. Beauty oils are in the limelight of skin care nowadays. From rosehips-tea tree-grapeseed-olive-jojoba-sunflower-camellia-marula to argan oil, name it and I'm sure beauty gurus around the globe have tried a couple of them. Morrocan Argain Oil is the "liquid gold" for dry hair and dry skin. Skin Beautanicals by Jianne Skin Essentials sent me their Organic Arbutin Soap with Argan Oil to try and after using the soap for more than a month, I'm ready to share my thoughts about it.

Product Review: Natura Organics Cellular Radiance Powerful Lip Scrub

Tuesday, January 28, 2014

     Hello dearies! The weather is still chilly even though the sun's up high in the sky. I've been battling with dry skin and now this became serious when we went to Nuvali last Friday for my son's field trip. The wind there was very strong and it made my hands very dry. I was wondering if I got a windburn and when I checked it at home yes it is :( Not only that I felt my hands very rough and dry, my lips too suffered from wind burn. 

     The solution to dry and chapped lips are lip therapy treatments or heavy duty lip balms but there's another solution that will slough off dead skin cells on the lips. It's a lip scrub! Fret not, I know you're thinking that scrubbing dry and chapped lips is painful but if you'll be using a lip scrub that contains very fine scrubbers, then think again! I'm very excited to introduce to you a lip scrub that doesn't only exfoliate lips but can make it look healthier, rosy and plumper! I've been using this Cellular Radiance Powerful Lip Scrub from Natura Organics even before I experienced wind burn. I guess it's time to say my thoughts on this amazing product. I never thought that lip scrub will be a life saver and a lipstick buddy. So without further ado, here's my honest to goodness review of Natura Organics Cellular Radiance Powerful Lip Scrub. Click CONTINUE READING and smile :)

Product Review: Be Organic Argan Oil Foaming Face Wash

Friday, January 17, 2014

     Hello dearies! Loving and hating this crazy cold weather lately. I like it because it made my skin less oily and this means less acne and pimples but I hate it because it makes my skin extra dry and flaky. But what can I do? I don't have the powers to control it or make it balance. Anyhoo, I'll be sharing another great skin car product that was sent to me by Ms. Cheryl of Be Organic Bath and Body. They're so generous for sending me almost all of their skin care products to try. I'm very happy that most of the full-sized samples they sent really did a great job in taking good care of my hair, skin and face. I also like that their products are competitive in price and one of the best organic brand that I've tried in the market today. To be fair, most of the organic skin care brands that I've tried loves my skin. Only one or two brands of organic skin care in the market today that gave me negative effects. All I can say that even though the product is dubbed as organic or natural, not all will benefit from using it. There are people who are allergic to certain organic/natural ingredients so always do a patch test before using a product.

     Going back to the topic, this is my first time to use an organic foaming facial wash. If my memory serves me right, the last time I've used a facial wash was during college years. I'm sure you can guess the brand of the facial wash that gave me zits because it's very popular until now. I will not mention the brand's name just leave a comment if you think we had the same experience. I fell in love with this product the moment I used it. I'm skeptical at first because I don't want to put another layer of oil to my combination skin but this is not the oil that we think.

Product Review: Be Organic Argan Oil Shampoo

Tuesday, January 14, 2014

     Hellos! Today let me share with you another long overdue post. If you can still remember my IG posts, Ms. Cheryl of Be Organic Bath and Body sent me full-sized bottles of their Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner. The moment I received these products, I was very giddy and excited to try them both because I've already tried argan oil shampoo in the past and my hair absolutely love it. The brand that I've tried before has different formulation and texture but I think both are very effective in making damaged hair healthier and livelier. 

     I presume that you've already heard the thoughts of international beauty bloggers about argan oil and it's effectiveness not only in skin but also in their tresses. As I've mentioned above, argan oil is very effective in making my hair less dry and frizzy. I can say that my hair is the most abused part of my body because I always change its color every two or three months. With the use of Be Organic Argan Oil shampoo everyday (I don't shampoo my hair everyday before), there's a big difference in the texture and the appearance of my color-treated hair. I absolutely like the effect of this shampoo on my scalp because it somehow relieved the itchiness that I have experienced not from dandruff but from taking grape seed extract which is a known side effect of that supplement. So here's my review of Be Organic Argan Oil Shampoo, click CONTINUE READING for more details.

Product Review: Be Organic Argan Oil Intensive Treatment Hair Mask

Sunday, December 22, 2013

     For some women, hair is one of the most high maintenance part of the body. I'm sure you'll agree with me especially if you have long black or color treated hair. How many shampoos and conditioner do you use everyday and how many times a month do you treat your hair for a luxurious hair treatment at home or at your favorite salon? If you're a hair conscious babe, I'm sure you visit the salon regularly for different kinds of hair treatment suited to your hair needs. 

     Do you sometimes wish that even if you have chemically processed/treated hair, your tresses will be low maintenance? How we wish right?! I have a long chemically treated hair. My hair had gone through a lot of coloring and other hair treatment procedures that includes mechanical and chemical processes. I can say that my hair is in the state I know my hair is dry and damaged because every time I look in the mirror or every time I touch my hair, I can see and feel the effects of those nasty chemicals. I already tried hair treatment products from high end, cost-effective and budget friendly ones. Some of them made my hair more damaged while others have temporary effect but these kind of treatments should be done regularly. Aside from the budget, you also have to consider time and effort if you really want to maintain beautiful tresses like those that you see from hair product commercials. Do you feel like you've invested everything but none of them works? Why don't you try something natural and organic? Here's my honest to goodness review of Be Organic Argan Oil Intensive Treatment Hair Mask that was sent to me Be Organics Bath and Body, a DIY hair treatment that really works!

Product Review: Botanique Spa Professional Morroco Argan Oil Shampoo

Tuesday, July 30, 2013

     The long wait is over! Finally, I'm already using another organic product that I considered as my first organic shampoo. Remember my #NailaholicsGateway Bloggers' Event post? They added a big 350ml bottle of Morrocco Argan Oil shampoo in our loot bags. I never expected that after the wonderful service they gave us during the event, they still included us another bag full of wonderful goodies! I'm one happy kid when I got home :) Anyhoo, I've been using this shampoo for a month now. I'm using it every day! Huwaat? Everyday?! Yes dearies, every day. I'm sure long-time readers of this blog will insist that I'm breaking my hair care routine. I shampoo my hair 2-3 times a week because my tresses are not really exposed to dust and dirt. Since I stay at home most of the time, I do not worry that I'm already neglecting my hair by not shampooing it every time I take a bath. But when I've tried using this Morocco Argan Oil Shampoo for 7 days straight 3 weeks ago, I'm impressed with the results! That's the time when I decided to use this every day. 

     The only downside of this shampoo is the accessibility. I called Nailaholics Sm Fairview branch to ask for some information about the product. The attendant said that Botanique Spa Morrocco Argan Oil Shampoo is only being sold at selected branches of Nailaholics Nail Salon and Spa. So if you want to get hold of this shampoo, please refer to the link I posted below and check your nearest Nailaholics branch for availability.
