My L'Oreal Extenso Steam Bond Experience at Jesi Mendez Salon Trinoma

I have naturally wavy hair and every once a year, I have my hair rebonded. Believe me, I tried to embrace my natural waves but my curls are just quite tedious to style. Blessed are those girls who always look like they just walked straight out of a salon. Sadly for me, that's not the case. To subdue my buhaghag hair, I need patience, funds and the help of hair professionals.

So it was that time of the year again. Bumalik na ang sumpa! To tame my tresses, my first choice is always steam bonding. I just adore how this transforms my hair without looking broomstick straight. I've done this thrice already; - one was at Bench Fix Glorietta (when it was first launched) and twice at Regine's Salon Makati (via Dealgrocer). 

Steam bond is quite pricey that's why I'm always on the look out for deals. I saw one on Dealgrocer and I was thinking of getting that. But when, I learned that Jesi Mendez was having a 50% off promo at their newly opened branch at Trinoma, I scratched that idea of.

My Japan Make Up and Skin Care HAUL!

I recently went to a very short trip (2 days) to Osaka and despite the very limited time I had there, I was still able to squeeze in a little bit of beauty shopping. To be honest, compared to Kbeauty, I don't have an en exquisite knowledge about Japan beauty products. I know the big brands like RMK, Shiseido, Kanebo, SK-II, and Shu Uemura to name a few but I was really overwhelmed with their drugstore brands. I just knew I wanted to buy a mascara and a brown liner because my beloved Dolly Wink pen liner is starting to dry up already. So without prior research, I started adding stuff in my shopping basket (at 2am). Scroll down to see everything that I got!

Etude House

Etude House Bubble Hair Coloring in Natural Brown

Ever since I started coloring my hair years ago, I never went back to my natural hair color which is jet black. I just feel that brown-toned colors look better against my complexion compared to plain and boring black (no pun intended). But as I much as I would like to get a new hair color as frequent as my mane desires, I do not have the time (and the unlimited funds) to do so. Good thing I came across with a great way to color my hair in a faster and cheaper way. Yes my friends, I discovered the power of bubble hair coloring and I am hooked!

#StandUpToStylingDamage With TRESemme Platinum Strength

Whether it be ‘dos that are voluminous, wavy, or edgy, getting the hottest hair trends means using our favorite styling tools or going to the salon to dye our hair. And while we try these out and go from the runway to every day, we knowingly damage our hair, making it dry, dull and brittle to stay chic.

Now, you can stand up to styling damage with the TRESemme Platinum Strength Range. From the salon-grade brand used and trusted by professionals, TRESemme Platinum Strength fortifies and strengthens hair like no other, repairing up to two years of damage caused by everyday hairstyling such as heat styling and coloring.

Basement Salon

Aveda Hair Color + Highlights at Basement Salon EDSA Shangri La

Just so you know, my hair was previously rebonded and colored at Queen's Lair Salon almost a year ago. My hair was (literally) crying for a major revamp (read: 3-inch regrowth) so I decided to (finally) listen and had my hair done at one of the high-scale salons in the Metro - Basement Salon at EDSA Shangri La.

Say Hello To LUSH New Shampoo Bars

I discovered how amazing the Lush shampoo bars when I decided to give Ultimate White a try a couple years ago. The fact that is loaded with essential oils that add shine to the hair and leave it with a gorgeous violet scent made me sing praises for it. Add to that, I can carry this anywhere without having to worry about spillage, leakage or not being able to comply with the airline rules for carrying liquids on flight. 

Needless to say, when Lush invited me to the launch of five brand new shampoo bars to add to its already amazing collection in an intimate Lush Hair Care Event at Piandre Salon in BGC, I was beyond ecstatic.

Make Your Crowning Glory Truly Shine With Syoss

For us women, how our hair looks makes a big impact on our over-all appearance. Meaning, the condition of our mane could definitely break or seal the deal for us. Having that in mind, we always make it a point to take good care of our roots by using products that deliver results. Since I have borderline dry, chemically-treated and colored hair, I seriously need all the help that science could provide me. 

However, because most women like me couldn't stop looking for solutions for our troubled locks, we tend to spend too much on hair-care products, even if they result to further damage. We also tend to find refugee to expensive salons whose chemical processes can still lead to more hair-raising dilemmas. 

Good thing I came across with Syoss - a Japanese hair-solution brand that bring salon-beautiful hair to every Pinay.

Get More Beautiful Hair With WEN Cleansing Conditioner

Once upon a time, I decided to cut my hair really, really short. I think it was in my freshman year. I resented how I look and decided to just wear my hair long ever since. It's not that I have anything against short hair, it just doesn't suit me that well compared to other girls. But maintaining long hair can sometimes be a tedious piece of work too. The number of products that you need to put onto your hair can sum up to - just so much. 

Good thing, women's hair will now get more beautifully awesome by using just one product - WEN Cleansing Conditioner.

Kerastase Nutritive Nectar Thermique Heat Protective Nourishing Leave In Treatment

I don't always blow dry or heat-style my hair. Not because I don't need to, but because I don't have the extra energy (and time) to pick up my hair dryer every morning (lame, but true). But on days when I feel the need to wear extra sleek locks, I do. And every time I put my hair under a couple Celsius higher, I make sure that my mane is well-protected against all odds. My secret weapon - Kerastase Nutritive Nectar Thermique.

Check Out My New Hair Color Courtesy Of L'Oreal and Regine's Salon! #WearYourColorProud

Truth be told, I'm a novice in the hair coloring department - either DIY or professionally done. You see, I have jet black hair and despite receiving a gazillion comments from friends (and random people) that getting a warmer hair color would suit me (read:my skin tone) better, I was still hesitant to dive into the idea. 

For the longest time, I remained hesitant. Little did I know that it would only took one really bad day for me to finally try coloring my hair, DIY style. The initial result was love. The only downside was the color started fading in weeks. Sad, but true.

So I vouched to have my hair professionally dyed next time. And that next time turned out to be damn sweeter because I was able to share the experience with one of my readers. Yey!
