4 Cheap Keratin Conditioners in the Philippines

     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.

Product Review: Etude House Two Tone Treatment Hair Color

     If there's one thing that I can call forever in my life (aside from my husband), that would be my hair coloring love affair! I've been coloring my hair for years now. The schedule depends on if the roots are starting to show or the color has been washed out. I can say that regular hair coloring is the reason why I always achieve the hair color that I want without bleaching since most of the shades I apply are light blonde, blonde, ash, ash blonde, and light brown. 

     If you notice, most of the colors are on the lighter side of the hair color wheel. There are times that I want to try a bold and bright color like purple, red, or blue BUT it requires bleaching which is a NO-NO for my thin and limp hair. But guess what- I discovered a product that will somehow make my hair purple today, green next week, and for an entire month. Enter Etude House Two Tone Treatment Hair Color.

Feature: Liese Blaune DIY Color for Gray Hair

     Women nowadays are so busy. I know all of you can relate to this even if you're just a plain housewife who works 24/7 at home or a career woman who has a day or night job in the office. Raise your hands if you're one of these busy women who have a lot on their hands nowadays.

     If they aren’t busy succeeding in their careers, they’re busy nurturing and bringing up their children. Many are opting to do both. Even with amazing multi-tasking skills, even a short break does wonders. You may be busy doing a lot of things, but seeing some grey makes you feel older and haggard. Pampering should always be included in a busy calendar but some will say they lack time. Can you just pause for a minute and look at yourself in front of a mirror? See?! Having visible gray hair isn’t great at all. It makes you feel much older than you are, and you look like you’re more stressed than usual. What to do? Read more below and solve that grey hair problem in as fast as 30 minutes!

Feature: Status Hair Salon Maginhawa

     The last time I had my hair colored from a reputable salon was last December 2016. It took almost a year before I decided to say 'yes' for another hair coloring sesh from a known hair salon because of availability and accessibility. 

     I've been itching to color my hair last month using DIY color but decided to postpone it because the shade that I want is not available at Watsons. I think the heavens heard my plea last week. I know it's time to refresh my hair color because the roots are showing up and the ends are breaking. Hooray for a day of pampering and 'me' time at Status Hair Salon Maginhawa branch. Aside from hair color, they also treated me to a hair treatment, manicure, and pedicure services. Highlights of my visit below :)

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

     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 :)

Novuhair Enhanced Formulation

     I suffered hair loss fall in the past and the feeling was stressful. Imagine seeing more than 100 strands of hair lying on the floor after taking a bath. I feel for individuals who are suffering great hair loss resulting to baldness and alopecia. There are different products in the market today that offer solution to hair loss but not all are effective in the long run.

     Say goodbye to hair loss and scalp problems with the newly-enhanced formulation of Novuhair. With 19 natural ingredients, the leading medicated topical scalp lotion is now almost 100% natural. “The Novuhair Topical Scalp Lotion used to only have 12 natural ingredients. Its improved formulation has a much better fragrance and a cool and minty feel. It also has anti-dandruff properties, as well as nourishing and moisturizing effects on the hair and scalp,” said Sheila Mae Velilla, CEO of Nutramedica, developer and distributor of Novuhair.
