Prettia is Love

Sunday, May 27, 2012


     I'm really in love with Prettia! To show my frenzy over this brand of bubble-type hair dye, I braved myself for the third time and it never failed me. I love my new hair color to bits! I started using Kao Prettia last year with Chiffon Beige (Yellow Brown series) then Milk Tea Brown (Brown series) and now Platinum Beige (Ash Brown). The lighter the merrier :) I'm planning to dye it again two months from now with Honey Beige and something that will look like an ash blonde. Wish me luck :)

     So here's what my hair looks like after five days of using PLATINUM BEIGE. This photo is taken five days after coloring my hair and now that it's more than three weeks methinks the color is much more lighter. Take note that in order to achieve this color, you must have a lighter hair tone prior to dyeing.

     Another thing that I love when using Prettia is the ease of application, it's like a walk in the park. So whatchathink? Have you tried bubble hair dyes? 

Good Times!~



Product Review: Clairol Herbal Essences Color Me Happy Conditioner

Monday, April 09, 2012

     I'm back! As in for good, the hubby gave his spare time to bring our good 'ol laptop at the repair shop and bought a new hard drive. I have mixed feelings when he told me that it's already fixed. I immediately asked him about the pictures stored in the broken hard drive and he's not sure if our photos can be retrieve. Oh well, I just have to wait and wish my luck. But I'm happy that I can update my blog on a regular basis now that I have "me time" with my laptop. No need to use the old school desktop that sucks bigtime. 

     If you're a follower of this blog, prolly you know that I already colored my locks more than once.  You can view my previous hair color here  and my current here. I love how my color-treated hair  brightens my face and made me look younger than my age. Since I'm already coloring my hair every three months now, I need to maintain it with the right shampoo and conditioner. After reading reviews and forums on shampoos and conditioners for color- treated hair, I decided to try Clairol Herbal Essences. This brand sounds familiar to those 90's generation kid. I remember their rose botanical variant smells divine and became my shampoo and conditioner during my elementary days! So without hesitation I gave this variant a try. I'm happy that it did not fail me because I'm on my second bottle now.

     Now here's my take on Clairol Herbal Essences Color Me Happy Conditioner
serum infused formula for moisturized softness with Moroccan rose and Passion Fruit, these creamy conditioner will bring out the natural shine and vitality while helping to replenish essential moisturizers.

What I like:
  • attractive packaging, fancy design and contains trivia at the back of the bottle
  • really affordable since one bottle lasted me approximately 2 months

What I don't like:

  • this variant is always OOS 
Will I repurchase? Yes! I'm on my second bottle now and will restock on my next haul.

Recommendation:
     I give this a 4.75/5 rating. I got compliments that my hair is healthy and shiny the last time I went to a salon for my pedicure. The hair stylist asked me what kind of treatment I'm using. I told them that I'm just using this conditioner. It's truly a Color Me Happy experience, I highly recommend this product!

      What's your favorite conditioner?Thanks for sharing. 

Good Times!~






Color Me Happy

Monday, December 12, 2011

   Christmas is just around the corner so I'm sure all of you are very busy shopping for gifts and having make-overs for your Christmas party. I just want to share with you what I'm planning to do two weeks before Christmas. 

     Since my hair is growing fast, I need to make a retouch of the previous hair color that I used or change it to another color. I used Kao Prettia Bubble Hair Dye in Chiffon Beige last August and the roots are starting to show now. This is what Chiffon Beige looks like on my hair under warm lighting.

     By the way, before using Prettia I had my hair bleached so that the color will show a bit because my hair was resistant from oxidizing lotion used in most hair dyes. This is caused by using henna powder. I used henna powder in black to dye my hair because hubby wanted my natural hair color back when we were in high school. I thought it will look okay but it turned out as if I'm wearing a wig. So I learned my lesson.

     I'm planning to use Kao Prettia again but in Milk Tea Brown. I will update you guys with pictures after 5 days.

     I'm a bit nervous if my hair will turn out lighter than my previous hair color. But I'm happy with the result on Chiffon Beige. Thanks for reading!

     Good Times!~
