consistency of the treatment

I did what I was directed. I rinsed then towel dried my hair. Usually, when I comb, my hair tangles a lot maybe because it's too long and then breakage comes in. But when I comb today, it was really smooth. No tangles. Really! And I was like, I will buy a jar of this product! And it's really soft as it dries. And I can't resist the urge to touch my hair. It's soooo silky smooooth.

PROS (장점):

• Affordable
• 50ml is good for 3-4 uses
• Free from parabens!
• It does what it claims.

CONS (단점):

I don't know what's the difference between the Keratin Treatment and the Ionic Keratin Treatment. Do you know? Anyway, I plan to use Keratin Treatment twice a week then I'll be using the Ionic Keratin Treatment next month. I hope I'll know the difference.

Matrix Essentials: Sensoria Care Conditioning Spa Cream Bath Review

A friend of mine spent a week here at my house. She brought a flat hair iron with her. As part of our bonding, she irons my hair everyday and I find hair iron to be amusing because it made my hair frizz-free. The problem arised when my friend have to go home. Without the hair iron, my hair is now back to its wavy form and the worst part is its more frizzy than usual. I know right away that this is because of the straightener. I deep conditioned my hair with Dove Damage Repair Conditioner for remedy but it did not work. After a week, I experienced more hairloss and now my hair is dry and brittle. What I have now is Sensoria Care Conditioning Spa Cream Bath + grapefruit extrac and apricot oil.

What it claims?

Sensoria Care a multi-sensorial spa collection that treats, purifies and balances hair and scalp. Enriched with an essential botanical blend of nourishing Apricot Oil and anti-oxidant Grapefruit Extract.

Leaves hair looking and feeling deeply moisturized, revitalized and conditioned. 

Directions: Apply to shampooed, towel-dried hair. Distribute evenly and massage thoroughly into hair for 15 minutes. Comb and leave on hair for 10 minutes. Can be used with heat for deep conditioning. Rinse thoroughly. 

I used it as directed like a heavy conditioner, massage from roots to tips and covered it with a shower cap. Rinsed it after 10 minutes.

When my hair dried, it feels soft and clean. Even it has the same consistency like a conditioner, I did not feel greasy at all. It doesn't make the hair shiny and it doesn't claims to do so. :) My hair did not change dramatically (maybe because I only used it once) but its a lot softer and manageable like it was nourished from the inside. It also tamed my frizz just a little and I did not encounter any hair loss while combing.

PROS (장점):

• It left my hair moisturized, revitalized and conditioned as the product claims.
• May be used as a conditioner
• Affordable

CONS (단점):

• I can't think of any.

RATING (등급):

• 5 out of 5.  What you read is what you get. 

WILL I PURCHASE (환매겠습니까)?

• Yes. It is good for rebuilding healthy hair.

Etude House Bubble Hair Coloring in Wine Red

Hello unnies...

I am really afraid to color my hair since its really dry and buhaghag na but I'm getting bored with my black hair so I want to give it a new look. I read rave reviews about Etude House Bubble Hair Coloring and decided to dye my hair with it. There are five shades which are Black, Dark Brown, Natural Brown, Wine Red and Sweet Orange. I found one at SM Cubao, Watsons. 

The Price : Inexpensive

I chose Etude House Bubble Hair Coloring in Wine Red. So let's begin.

The Label: Pink!

Advantages of Bubble Hair Coloring:

Used Easily. you can color your hair by using it like normal shampoo.

• Every single hair can be colored. With Micro bubble booster tech, the bubbles will color all the hair.
• Natural color without stains. It will give you a more natural and clean color.

No ammonia added. (yey!)

Here is the shade.

The box include the #1 and #2 dyes that you would mix together, gloves, a plastic cape and the silky perfumed treatment which will be used on the final step.

How to use:

1. Put on the plastic gloves and plastic cape included in the kit.
2. Pour the contents of the 30 ml packet labeled #1 into the 50 ml pump bottle labeled #2 and mix (just tilt it to left and right).
3. Pump bubble/foam into your hand.
4. Apply it evenly all over.
5. Leave it on for 30 minutes.
6. Rinse and follow up with the sachet of conditioner included in the kit.

the dye looks like a foam

after applying the foam

This is my first time to dye my hair and I must say, this is really easy as 1-2-3. It's like shampooing my hair but instead of the silky smooth feeling, the hair gets sticky and brittle while applying the foam. The scent is mild and there's a tiny bit of stinging and warm feeling in my scalp. And oohhh.. there's so much foam. You don't need to be bothered if it is enough because it is more than enough that I got tired emptying the bottle.

10 minutes after ~.~

30 minutes after: a hint of red! 

I decided to leave it for an hour to see if there will be more difference. The stains in my skin got easily cleaned up. Afterwards, I rinse it off with water and my hair is kinda unmanageable but that's what the Silky Perfumed Treatment is for. I used the treatment and wow.. It's good and made my hair silky and manageable so I decided to leave it for 5 minutes because I really love the effect. The rinse again, now with Cream Silk Damage Repair for more conditioning.... and the color I achieved?

I am aiming for this color.
