Wednesday, February 20, 2013

     I'm sure by now, most of you have seen gorgeous hair transformations of beauty bloggers, media personalities and even celebrities who joined the #hairrevolution movement. I'm very privilege to be one of the first bloggers who experienced this new smoothing service from the hair experts- L'Oreal Professionnel and Bench Fix Salon. I'm lucky to get the first dibs on STEAMPOD and witnessed how this breakthrough in salon industry made dull straight hair and nappy waves into smooth, shiny and healthy locks!

     Three weeks ago, I attended my first event of the year and I'm so happy that our friends from Castro PR chose me to be one of their #hairrevolution leaders :) The event was held at Bench Fix Lab, Glorietta 5. We (Aya and Ina, two of my pretty blogger friends) arrived on time at the venue and registered in this area. Bloggers were welcomed by the gorgeous Mikki Galang of Castro PR.

So to those who veered away from traditional straightening and rebonding after the damage and trauma your hair experienced, don't lose hope, join the fight and give your hair a new life!

Thank you so much for these amazing products!
     And now to the most exciting part, the revolutionary hair treatment experience. But before the treatment, Hermes of Studio Fix consulted my hair and advice me to have the Keratin Steam Care treatment which gives an anti-frizz smoothing effect that can last up to 3 days. He also said that my hair is already straight and it only needs the right kind of treatment. Since my hair is colored, it's prone to dryness which results to frizzy hair. Thank you Hermes for making me realized that I have straight hair and doesn't need to sacrifice it's health with regular rebonding treatment. All I need is to maintain it's texture and shine with the help of Pro-Keratin products like the X-Tenso Care shampoo and masque. Here's my hair before the treatment: dull and lifeless, lacks shine and the color isn't vibrant :(  

     See the transformation below and be amazed with the results! More pictures after the jump :D

L'Oreal Professionnel STEAMPOD: The World's 1st Steam Smoothing Service

Thursday, February 14, 2013


     Are you ready for smoother and shinier hair? We can now achieve that sleek straight and sexy soft curls with this revolutionary tool from one of the world's leader in professional salon industry. 
A REVOLUTION IN HAIR SMOOTHING HAS ARRIVED 
     For the first time, two world class brands combine their expertise to create a revolutionary tool: Steampod. Result of a collaborative partnership between L’Oréal Professionnel and Rowenta, Steampod is the first ever hair smoothing iron that delivers a continuous stream of high-pressure steam. Steampod’s flawless technology and associated care products guarantee never-before-seen results that could spark a new hair revolution. 
     After five years of research and development and eight patents, developed by hairdressers for hairdressers, Steampod has become a professional in-salon straightening and smoothing tool, which can also be used to add texture and movement to the hair. The results:

· Repaired, nourished hair
· Smoothed, sealed ends
· Brilliant shine
· Long-lasting results
· Ultimate Care from Pro-Keratin and steam 

     L’Oréal demonstrated to show the “thermal shock effect” of normal iron versus Steampod by pressing iron onto cloth for 3 minutes. The result? It showed that iron produces a “burnt” effect while Steampod doesn’t which then prevents hair cuticle damage. 


Hair Revolution Reinforced by Innovation: Steampod with Rowenta 

     Steampod is the world’s first hair smoothing iron that delivers a continuous stream of pressurized steam from an in-built steam generator. This is in partnership with Rowenta, the world leader in household appliances and inventor of steam iron. 

As the name suggests, the key element is steam. Steam: 

· Gently opens up the cuticle delivering the treatment into the core 
· Gradually heats the hair preventing heat shock to prevent cuticle damage 
· Smooths down the cuticle sealing the ends for a flawless finish 


     Steampod offers distinct performance advantages, thanks to four technical innovations:

· A water demineralization system for steam of unrivalled purity*
· Five temperature settings (from 170 to 210 °C) depending on the desired style and the sensitivity of the hair
· An ultra-thin detachable comb to untangle hair before application
· High-tech, anodized ceramic, adjustable plates for uniform pressure and perfect smoothing from the roots to the ends. 

     Steam is also central to
Steampod hair care products. Used with the tool, the formula are steam activated: the steam, acting like a vehicle, carries along the active ingredients and makes them penetrate into hair fibers.

Pro-Keratin Technology: The Best of L’Oréal Professionnel Hair Care 

     We introduce the Steampod hair care products, our very first Pro-Keratin steam-activated product range. Its steam-activated smoothing and repairing creams contain Pro-Keratin that:

· Contains incell that strengthens fibre
· Pro-Keratin reconstructs hair
· Nutri cationic agents gives ultimate nutrition
· FORMALDEHYDE-FREE – no carcinogen gas that could be formed from ingredients activated through heat

     Results include long lasting straight, strengthened hair with mirror shine! These products can be used at home to sustain hair that looks shiny, nourished and protected after straightening.

     Mythic Oil is also to be used for finishing touches during blow-dry, after any of the Steampod services. This can also be used at home to maintain smoothness, shine and suppleness. 

Xtenso Care Shampoo (230ml): PHP 400
Masque (500ml): PHP 1350

Hair Revolution Supported By The Right Partner: Bench Fix Salon 

     The power of this technology is in the X-tenso Care products used for Keratin Steam Bond and Keratin Steam Care services which are available first at Bench Fix Salons, one of the fastest growing salons in the country with innovative and highly creative team of hair artists. 

     Keratin Steam Care Service gives an anti-frizz smoothing effect that can last up to 3 days, if used for normal to slightly sensitive hair. But with continuous use with X-tenso Care, hair fibre is reconstructed from the inside out, preventing it from breakage and dryness.
