Feature: Love Beauty and Planet Clean Oceans Range

Saturday, July 25, 2020

     We all need some vitamin sea but because of the pandemic, the "take me back to the beach" trip will be put on hold. Summer was canceled for most of us because it's better to stay at home and better be safe than sorry. If you miss the ocean, the beach, and the sea, there's a new collection that will take us back to our DNA- Love Beauty and Planet Clean Oceans Range.

     As residents of a tropical country, loving the beach and the ocean is part of our DNA. Being surrounded by the fresh air and smell of sea salt gives us a much-needed refreshed feeling, deepening our love for the water. As the beaches are not only our safe havens, but also an important natural resource and source of national pride, it’s important to show the same love and care for them as they have given us. This July, the brand that believes in showing small acts of love for the planet and for yourself, introduces the Clean Oceans Range, a limited edition set of personal care products, in bottles made with 100% ocean-bound plastic. Scroll down to know more about the collection and why you should try it now :)

It’s a balance- from professionally trained stylists who will take care of your hair at the salon and how you will maintain it at home. Products need not be expensive. It’s about hair care that will not break the bank but does not sacrifice quality. Presenting Foliage- the brainchild of David Charlton of David’s Salon.

From these seeds grew the idea of Foliage- natural professional haircare that caters to basic hair issues. It smoothens frizz, protects from constant coloring, rebonding, and perming plus repair damaged hair and hair loss. They created uncomplicated yet effective products and treatments- keratin treatment line, shampoo and conditioner, repair and reconditioning formula, and a booster-serum.

Novuhair Enhanced Formulation

Saturday, April 16, 2016

     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. More details about Novuhair below.

I Can Do It All with Pantene Pro-V Conditioner #DoItAllHair

Saturday, October 24, 2015

     My hair has gone through a lot- styling, cutting, dyeing, name it and my locks have tried it. I can say that my hair can do it all BUT after those challenges (it's a challenge especially on virgin hair) my locks were in a state of total chaos. If my hair could talk, it would probably scream and ask me why, oh why! I've tried different brands of shampoos and conditioners in the past, in the hope that somehow it will bring back the shine and strength of my hair after all the abuses. Some brands will stay in my hair care essentials for a month or two, while others will simply help me resurrect my abused hair for days and weeks and after that, I'll be ditching one brand after the other. Honestly speaking, my hair found its holy grail in Pantene 3 Minute Miracle conditioner.

     If you love Pantene like I do, I'm sure you'll be excited to know more about the latest innovation/formulation in their conditioners. I want to share with you this good news from Pantene. They made their hair care line more potent and rich by adding the new molecule in Pantene Pro-V Conditioners- for a stronger, shinier hair that can take it all. In order for you to understand this breakthrough, read the information below :)

I Can Do It All with Pantene Pro-V Conditioner #DoItAllHair 
   
     Will your hair beat the heat and humidity outdoors? Is your hair still strong and shiny after 100 blow-dries? Is your hair protected from damaging factors like dust and pollution? The answer is yes – thanks to the award-winning brand, Pantene! The new and improved Pantene adds Histidine in its conditioners to restore and maintain hair health from the core, resulting in stronger hair that can take it all. With this formula upgrade, Pantene dares Filipinas to do it all: go on a sunny and windy adventure, reach the summit, try water sports, break a sweat and many others – without having to worry about their hair. Pantene’s newest innovation results in stronger, shinier hair for hair that can keep up with whatever life you lead.

The Miracle Molecule

     Rooted in proteomics research, the Pantene Hair Research Institute discovered that oxi-dative mineral build-up does not only exist on the surface but also occurs within hair’s deepest cuticle layers. These impurities create a damaging cascade of reactions that break down the hair’s protein structure, degrading it down to the core.

     The Histidine technology in Pantene conditioners has anti-oxidant properties, similar to the free radical fighting anti-oxidant ingredients in skin care products that work to prevent age spots and wrinkles. Histidine penetrates deep into the endocuticle layers in hair to seek out and identify oxidative mineral deposits, removing them to help protect hair’s naturally healthy, strong structure. Together with the EDDS Keratin Damage-Blocking technology in Pantene shampoos, Histidine reverse years of damage up to 2.5x more effective than Pantene shampoo alone.

     A glimpse down the memory lane, my hair have gone through a lot of the photos above and below. During that time, there's no Pantene 3 Minute Miracle conditioner. So after the abuses, I just settle to regular shampoos and conditioners. Now that there's Pantene Pro-V Conditioners, I can do it all again without worrying about the damage. I was dared by Pantene to go on an adventure to test my hair. It's an adventure where my hair be exposed to heat, humidity, and wind. I'll share the photos of my hair adventure on my Instagram account @Kathneko to keep you updated on my experience with the #DoItAllHair dare with Pantene :)

Bad Hair Days NO MORE with SYOSS

Wednesday, October 07, 2015

     'Tis the season to take care of our hair because of the change in weather. This erratic weather can draw out the nutrition of our crowning glory if you take it for granted. Now that the rainy season is upon us, we can expect the unexpected: some days are bound to be hot and humid, while other days will be wet and clammy. In any case, the changing weather is bound to bring about bad hair days—and who hasn’t had one?

     On a sunny day, even if they are ready with a hat or an umbrella, women feel their hair turning brittle from the hot weather, making it difficult to tame with a brush or comb. When it suddenly rains and the air turns damp, their gorgeous mane could turn limp and lifeless from the sudden downpour. There is no reason to fret when it comes to taming your hair this rainy season. Renowned Japanese hair care brand SYOSS gives the pampering you need to tame unruly locks. More details about SYOSS Hair Care products below :)

Product Review: Purest by Natura Organics ReVOLUMIZING Shampoo

Thursday, August 06, 2015

     It's not easy to find a hair care product that will make your crown and glory healthy and shiny. It's always a trial and error kind of game. Before you can say that it's effective, there will be different factors you need to consider- the scent, the texture, the ingredients, the price, and the overall experience you get while using the product. If you're a long time reader of this blog, the only natural or organic product that I'm still searching is an organic shampoo that will be a mainstay in my hair care essentials. I've found one in the past but I'm still contemplating if I'll continue to use it or not because the price is a bit steep for a cheapskate like me.

     Months ago, I received an organic and all-natural shampoo from my favorite organic brand- Natura Organics and their hair care line is called Purest. I wasn't able to test the product immediately because I was still using a so called natural shampoo but I doubt if it's natural (because of the ingredients) that I bought from a famous personal store. Anyhoo, after using this shampoo for more than twenty days now I'm ready to say my thoughts. Scroll down to see more information about the product :)

Product Review: Purest by Natura Organics ReVOLUMIZING Shampoo 
the texture of this shampoo is semi-thick but runny
What I like:

  • The price is more affordable than the competition organic brands in the market today.
  • The packaging is sleek and sturdy. It has a pump that dispenses the right amount of product.
  • The bottle packaging is transparent. I can see how many amount of product left in the container.
  • Well-sealed upon purchase. You can see product certifications printed on the bottle.
  • The scent is divine! Loving the sweet scent of this shampoo.
  • The texture is semi-thick and runny.
  • It is easy to apply and produces a good lather.
  • There's a cooling sensation on my hair and scalp every time I use this product.
  • My hair feels squeaky clean after using this shampoo.
  • I noticed less hair fall after combing my hair.
  • I have thin and limp hair and this shampoo gives it volume.
  • My hair became shiny and looks healthy even if it's already showing signs of abuse from hair dyes.
  • Makes my hair less frizzy and dry.
  • No breakouts, zits, allergies, or whatsoever on my forehead where I sometimes experience when using new variant of shampoo.
  • Since this is all-natural, it's safe for pregnant ladies.

What I don't like:

  • No expiry date printed on the bottle.
  • I need more than 8 pumps for my long hair to produce a good lather.
  • Not easily accessible.
  • I need to pair it with a conditioner because it makes my hair stiff but after using Purest conditioner, it's all manageable. I think this is because I'm more of a conditioner than a shampoo user.

Will I repurchase: Yes, it's in the realm of possibility :)

Recommendation:
     I give this a 4.5/5 rating. This shampoo really contains natural oils and made from natural products. You can see the transparency list. It is made from natures finest ingredients that will make your tresses healthy and vibrant. As for my experience, be sure to pump an ample amount of product if you want to have a good lather. If you're like me who needs more conditioning properties because my hair is color-treated, a heavy duty conditioner will be your best friend if you find your hair stiff after shampooing. Purest by Natura Organics also has a conditioner that smells divine! I will muse my experience in a separate review.

Have you tried using an organic and all-natural shampoo before? Share your experience dearies!

Good Times!~

Product Review: Suave Kids 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner

Thursday, June 18, 2015

     Hi mommies! Sharing with you this short review of my son's favorite shampoo. He's been using this brand for four (4) years now. He started using Suave Kids 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner when he was two years old. We've discovered this brand when a family friend gifted him a bottle of this oh so good hair care product from Suave on his 2nd birthday. Anyhoo, I thought I will not like Suave at first because the wild watermelon scent is too strong for my liking. I have sensitive nose so during bath time the wild watermelon scent lingers and I find the scent off. I will cover my nose and will be relieved after bath. 

     But as days passed by, I became a fan of the wild watermelon scent. I'm also surprised that our first bottle of Suave Kids 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner lasted for more than six (6) months. So when we finished our first bottle, we bought other scents like strawberry, orange mango, coconut, cherry, and peach. We just alternate the variants every time we finish one bottle. To know more why I highly recommend this brand of shampoo and conditioner, scroll down please :)

Coconut Variant
     Suave Kids® Coconut Smoothers 2-in-1 Shampoo gently combines shampoo and conditioner in one sure and speedy step. Its creamy formula, made with gentle conditioners reduces split ends and leaves hair feeling extra soft.

Product Review: Suave Kids 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner
Kenzo's hair. It's already long. His last hair cut was March and his current hair style is undercut hence looks so uneven on both sides. We'll bid goodbye to this hair style a week from now.
What I like:

  • The packaging is cute because there are different cartoon characters/animals printed on the bottle. The bottle is also colorful and easy to grip.
  • The price- it's super affordable. This 355 ml bottle lasts up to five (5) months with everyday use!
  • It's a 2-in-1 product. No need to buy a separate shampoo and conditioner.
  • The scent is divine! Sweet coconut scent lingers the whole day!
  • It's easy to use. 
  • It's tear-free too!
  • The texture is creamy and semi-thick.
  • A little amount goes a long way.
  • Makes my son's hair is soft and smooth to touch.
  • It looks shiny and silky too.
  • I literally don't need to comb my son's hair after taking a bath.
  • His hair is easy to comb, no tangles at all.
  • Gives a bit of volume on my son's thin and limp hair.
  • Doesn't make my son's hair oily nor greasy after playing whole day. 
  • Even if his hair got wet because of sweat after playing, the smell of coconut is still there. No acidic smell from the sweat.
  • There's a batch, manufacturing and expiry date printed on the bottle.

What I don't like:

  • There are times that coconut variant is not available here in our area.

Will I repurchase? Yes! This is my son's HG (Holy Grail) shampoo. This is Kenzo's favorite shampoo and conditioner for four (4) years now!

Recommendation:
     I give this a 5/5 rating. I love that this product because it makes my son's hair smooth and manageable. We really love the scent of Suave 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner. It's easy to use and I don't worry that my son's delicate hair will experience negative effects. This brand is already a staple in Kenzo's hair care essentials! This brand is budget-friendly for mommies who have tight budget. I highly recommend Suave Kids 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner. Our all time favorite scent is strawberry, coconut, and cherry :)

What's your kid's favorite shampoo brand? Share your thoughts mommies :)

Discover the Beautiful Science Behind Pantene

Tuesday, October 28, 2014

    I can survive a day or two without shampoo but never without conditioner! If you're a long time reader of this blog, I'm sure you already knew that I don't shampoo my hair everyday that's why I often ran out of conditioner than shampoo. My hair is color-treated most of the time, it has thin strands and limp volume. Sometimes it's unruly and frizzy but when I found out the right kind of conditioner for my hair, all the woes I said above were already solved!

    I'm proud to say that Pantene is one of my favorite conditioner. When they released the color and perm line, I decided to road test the product and see if this will made my color-treated hair vibrant and shiny. I was also featured as one of the girls who have tried the color and perm line at Cosmopolitan Magazine. See the review and feature HERE.

   I received a box full of Pantene hair care products and it contains the three variants of Pantene shampoos and conditioners.

Product Review: Be Organic Bath and Body Aloe Jojoba Shampoo and Conditioner

Wednesday, July 30, 2014

     Are you suffering from dry and damaged hair? If you think commercial hair care products that contains chemicals makes your hair more dry and damaged, then you need to switch to an all natural hair care shampoo and conditioner. I'm sure you all know that Aloe Vera is a wonderful plant. Maybe your parents or grand parents advised you once or twice that Aloe Vera plant is effective in treating hair problems like hair loss and dryness. Have you tried cutting an aloe vera plant and apply the sap on your scalp and hair strands? The feeling can be icky but for the sake of your crowning glory's health, I'm sure you're going to stand doing this. 

     If you want to have a healthy hair, here's an alternative to the old fashioned way of applying aloe vera sap. This product is an all natural shampoo and conditioner that is infused with Aloe Vera and other essential oils. Enter Be Organic Aloe Jojoba Shampoo and Be Organic Aloe Jojoba Conditioner.

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: Vidal Sassoon Premium Color Care Shampoo

Thursday, January 09, 2014

     Hellos! Here's a quick review of Vidal Sassoon Premium Care Shampoo. As I've said before, I don't shampoo my hair everyday but when I tried this shampoo that I got from Sample Room together with the conditioner, dared washing my hair everyday. I never doubted because this brand has been a very effective product for my virgin black hair way way back. I just forgot why this was discontinued in the market but now the legacy lives on. I was very excited when I saw that Vidal Sassoon will be available again locally and to show my giddiness, I immediately grab a full-sized sample at Sample Room last month. 

     Lo and behold, my hair still loves Vidal Sassoon. I already reviewed the premium color care conditioner and love it to bits. Wanna see my review? Click HERE :) So after raving about the conditioner which I use not only everyday but sometimes twice a day, here's another product from Vidal Sassoon that I think will also make to the must have hair care products for every Filipina.

Tuesday, October 15, 2013

     I pay more attention when it comes to hair care now than before. My hair was very low maintenance before because all it takes to complete my hair care routine every day includes shampoo and conditioner. I don't apply serums and I don't blow dry my hair. I just let it dry naturally and after combing I'm good to go. But as time pass by consider the age factor and numerous chemical treatments that I've gone through, my hair strands became weak and brittle. I have thin limp hair to begin with and it's easily prone to dullness and breakage. The worst thing that happened to my locks was major major hair fall. To address these issues, I change shampoo and conditioner every month- some lessened the hair fall while others make it worst. I already found my HG shampoo with Pure Beauty Tsubaki Treatment Shampoo and Botanique Spa Morocco Argan Oil Shampoo but there are times that my hair still needs extra care and shine. With so many brands of commercial and organic shampoos in the market today, it's very hard to choose which one to try first as most of them promises good results. What my hair needs now is shine! My digi-permed hair will turn three months old this coming November that's why the curls are not that shiny anymore. Thank goodness that Kerastase is here to rescue. 

     To tell you honestly, I'm not planning to use this shampoo because I was very much contended with the current shampoo that I'm using. I was planning to repurchase another bottle of Botanique Spa shampoo earlier this month but I decided to give this variant a try. If you'll ask me why I veered away from this varaint without trying it first, then the answer would probably my first experience with another variant of Kerastase shampoo- the Reflection Bain Chroma Riche. I had a not so good experience with the first variant of shampoo that I've tried from Kerastase but with this one, that impression vanished! It made me think again that all shampoo variants were created with a purpose and that purpose should serve us well. So do you think this shampoo made a yay or a nay?

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.

Press Release: L'Oreal Paris Fall Repair 3x

Saturday, July 06, 2013

     Many women suffer from hair fall. I experience this problem once in a while and it's really embarrassing. I've tried different shampoos and conditioners but only a few of them actually works. If you experience having fragile hair and occasional hair fall, L'Oreal research has identified 3 major causes of hair fall:
  • Hair Malnutrition- Hair growth is programmed and controlled at the hair roots. When the roots are malnourished, the hair grows without essential nutrients becoming weak and underdeveloped.
  • Root Fragility- Starting at the root, the diameter of the hair fiber is below average, which makes it more likely to break
  • Fiber Damage- Disruption of the hair's cuticle, which acts as a shield for hair, leads to hair being significantly more vulnerable to external aggression.
