NEVER NEGLECT AND FORGET TO BRING LIFE BACK TO YOUR HAIR

0

This post was originally published on Mermaid in Stilettos by Jaimie Felix

Just last month, I got busy with a lifestyle change challenge where I purposely joined so as I could get enough motivation in changing my eating habits. I got so busy that I found myself so caught up in the challenge which resulted for me to neglect and take care of some other important parts of my body like my hair. I’m just glad na hindi pa din ako pinapabayaan ng pagkakataon because I got to receive an invite from V&M Naturals for a hair spa day experience at the Benibana Beauty Hub three weeks ago. This invite came in shortly a few days after my challenge has ended and it just came right on time since I also have an event at the nearby area on the same date of the spa day, so sakto talaga.

You might say its so maarte, but guys, having some R & R is one of the most important parts of keeping a healthy and balanced lifestyle. There’s no harm for that small escape right in the middle of the busy city metro. Iba pa din talaga if you get a treatment done at the salon —you will feel a sense of relaxation and calmness. 
 
And as I described it, this is literally what I experienced.
 
Upon arrival, I was ushered to Flossom Kitchen + Café. All the invitees got to taste different dishes from the cafe. It’s a simple treat which perked us up while waiting for our turn for our hair treatment. 

Full course hair treatment was done with a well-trained staff of the Benibana Beauty Hub.

There are a lot of hair products in the market that promise to give us healthy-looking hair. People get blinded by this quite easily and buy them with a hope that it will work and give wonders. Unfortunately, many don’t consider the chemical ingredients in the formula that may do more damage than good. 

I got to experience all the nourishment the V&M Naturals Specialty Hair Care line has to offer 

V&M Naturals is dedicated to working hair miracles without using any harsh chemical components, as the brand uses only the best natural ingredients sourced locally and internationally. Their potent formulas are not just gentle on the hair, they also provide better results the longer they are used.

Our hair gets exposed to so many things that can cause its further damage. A product like the Lichen + Coffee Shampoo and Conditioner duo can solve this problem by properly cleansing the hair without stripping all the good oils. Thanks to the powerful combination of actives from Lichen and hydrolyzed Silk that protect the strands from free radicals and irritation.

Lichen + Coffee Shampoo ( P 750.00) and Lichen + Coffee Conditioner (P 850.00).

Other ingredients like Yogurt protein, Emu Oil, and Coffee Seed extracts not only prevent dandruff, they are also detoxifiers that stimulates collagen production and acts as an invisible shield against UVB rays. The strands get stronger, healthier, hydrated, and more manageable with prolonged use.

Viola! Locks ( P 580.00)

Viola! Locks is a 5-7 minute deep repair mask that heals and reconstructs damaged hair.

It targets the damage caused by chemical treatments and heat styling while reconstructing the hair. Ingredients like Coconut Oil, Keratin, Argan Oil, Emu Oil, and Alpine Lichen extract help revitalize the hair and bring it back to its healthy state.

Hair I Am ( P 580.00)

Hair I Am is a growth accelerator that nourishes the hair while reactivating hair growth. 
 
It is a light formula that goes on the hair after a wash and is formulated with nourishing ingredients like Green Tea, Rosemary, Perilla Leaf, and Chameleon Plant to improve weak follicles. It is incorporated with Coffee and European Larch Wood, which helps with hair growth and a soothing sensitive scalp. There is also Lemon and Sugar Cane that refreshes the scalp and adds volume to each strand. 
 
The longer the booster is used, the better and healthier the hair gets, as there will be increased lustre, smoothness, thickness, and softness. Brittle, dull, and damaged hair will be a thing of the past with this travel-friendly product!

Tadaa! I experienced first hand how V&M Naturals’ full line of hair products works and I really saw the results right after.

What I like best is that the hair care products worked well together which nourished, strengthen, and revitalized my hair. Its gentle formulas are sulfate-free which can heal the scalp, and give bouncier and manageable hair. What makes this line better is that it has everything needed in a hair care routine needs. 
 
Go check and try it out too. V&M Naturals uses natural ingredients in their hair products to make sure they nourish and strengthen the hair without the use of chemicals!
 
V&M is available in kiosks in select malls. For more information visit the V&M Naturals website  — www.vnmnaturals.com.
 
Benibana Beauty Hub is located at #187 N. Averilla St. Barangay Sta. Lucia, San Juan City. For more information, visit their FB Page: @BenibanaBeautyhub

  • With Lighten Up, you can try a brighter hair experience all from the comfort of your own home! Bleach your hair to achieve the color of your dreams. 
  • We’ve included the essentials so you can DIY the bleaching experience, but please note that it’s always better to have your hair bleached by a professional stylist. 

First things first!

Before bleaching, please make sure to prepare your hair properly. If this is your first time, we recommend consulting with your stylist first before trying at home.

What you’ll need:

  • Kit inclusions
    • Brush
    • Ear Caps
    • Mixing Bowl (300ml)
    • Bleach Powder (50g)
    • Developer (100ml)
    • L'Oréal Superbond Additive (8ml)
    • L'Oréal Superbond Treatment (16ml)
  • Optional
    • Old clothes and/or towels
    • Shower cap and/or hair clips
    • Lukewarm water
    • Timer

Preparing your hair

  • For previously treated or processed hair, we recommend waiting 3 months before bleaching.
  • To make sure your hair is well moisturized, deep-condition with masks at least twice a week for 2 weeks before bleaching.
  • The night before bleaching, soak your hair with coconut oil to help prevent significant protein loss and heavy damage.

Bleaching your hair

  1. Make sure to wear clothes you don’t mind getting bleach on! You can use an old shirt or clean towels to cover your shoulders and neck.
  2. Next, part your hair into sections using hair clips you have on hand and use the ear covers provided in the kit.
  3. Remember to put on the protective gloves before mixing and bleaching your hair. Use the brush provided to mix our ingredients.
  4. To make the hair bleach, pour ½ of the bleaching powder and ½ of the developer in the bowl provided. Mix until it’s a smooth cream. Then, pour ½ of the additive into the bowl and mix it into the cream.
  5. By using half of the ingredients, you can save the remaining products to mix as a second batch after your first application.
  6. Take one section of hair and use the brush to apply the bleach starting an inch away from the roots. Make sure to apply the bleach evenly to the rest of the sections, leaving the roots for later.*
  7. After the first application, let the product settle. Wait 20 minutes, then start mixing the remaining ingredients to make the second batch of hair bleach.
  8. Now, apply the second batch evenly to the roots of your hair. Once done, let the product settle again, this time waiting 10-15 minutes. 
  9. After a total of 35 minutes with the bleach, rinse your hair thoroughly with cold water, then towel dry. Apply the treatment on your towel-dried hair, then wait for 10 more minutes.
  10. Finally, rinse your hair thoroughly once again to remove all of the remaining products.

*If irritation occurs, please discontinue use. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.

Caring for your hair

  • Please avoid heating or styling your bleached hair for at least two (2) weeks.
  • We recommend using natural or organic hair products. Chemicals can cause damage to your hair, especially after bleaching.
  • Consider using toner for your bleached and colored hair. You can use purple, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to help neutralize unwanted undertones.
