V&M Naturals Haircare Line

This post was originally published on pinkislovebynix by Nicole Faller

This is not new but my current hair is dry, frizzy and totally damaged due to constant hair coloring for the past years. 2 years ago, I stopped dyeing my hair and  stick to just touching up my roots instead. Since my hair is still damaged, I noticed that I do get a lot of hair fall and split ends too! Also, I recently discovered that I have dandruff due to stress which I find it hard to treat. Yikes! Been looking for products that would help treat my hair problems and I think I found the one! 

A month ago, I got a chance to try the 4-step Haircare Line of V&M Naturals held at their partnered salon, the Benibana Beauty Hub in San Juan. V&M Naturals has been on the market for years and been hearing lots of positive feed backs from their products such as the famous Emu Oil and more skincare products. I always wanted to try their products since I’m switching to naturals products now as much as possible.

Let me take you through my experience with the 4-step Hair Line of V&M Naturals.

 

Step 1 & 2: Lichen + Coffee Foaming Shampoo and Hydrating Conditioner

Lichen + Coffee Sulfate Free Foaming Shampoo (200ml)

It contains actives from Lichen and amino acids from Hydrolyzed Silk protein that penetrates each strand to deeply protect the hair from itching and irritation. It also has Emu oil, Yogurt protein and Coffee seeds that acts as an invisible shield against the sun’s harmful UVB rays. It also encourages healing of scalp inflammations and prevents dandruff for a healthier and manageable hair. 

 

Directions for use:

Squeeze a dollop on your wet palm and work into a foam lather. Massage gently onto wet hair from roots to tips. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and pat dry with a soft towel.

 

Lichen + Coffee Hydrating Conditioner (200ml)

Also contains Lichen extract, Yogurt, Vitamin E, essential fatty acids from Emu & Argan and amino acids from Hydrolyzed silk, it help restructure hair and repair damage caused by constant combing and pulling. This also effectively fights odor-causing bacteria, regulates hair moisture and protects the hair against sun damage.  

 

Directions for use:

After shampooing, apply to wet hair and massage gently, concentrating on the ends. Leave on for 1-2 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Pat dry with a soft towel.

Step 3: Voila! Locks Deep Repair Hair Masque (250g)

It has Emu oil, Coconut oil, Keratin, Argan Oil and Alphine Lichen Extract that help restore hair’s elasticity and improve its strength from inside out. 

Key Ingredients:

*Emu Oil

*Plant-derived Hydrolyzed Keratin

*Coconut Oil

This mask is highly reparative to the internal structure of the hair and should be sealed in afterwards with a conditioner. 

 

Step 4: Hair I Am

Hair I Am Spray contains Green Tea, Rosemary, Chameleon Plant and Perilla Leaf extracts to target and help recover weak hair follicle by nourishing deep into the roots. It helps make your hair healthier, stronger and thicker as it grows longer in as early as 3 months of continuous use. This can be use on a wet or dry hair.

After I tried the 4-Step Haircare Line from V&M Naturals, I felt that my hair became light and bouncy. I love how soft and shiny my hair is afterwards. Also, I love the scent of my hair from using these products! The scent is so addictive! I’ve been using this for a month and it truly stick to the claims! I love my current hair now since it helped reduce my dandruff plus I love my healthier hair now. It might be a little pricey for some but totally worth it! Hair will always be our crowning glory and having a healthier hair adds to our confidence to face the world. Thank you again V&M Naturals! 🙂

  • 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)

  • 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.
