This post was originally published on kikaysikat by Kaycee Enerva

Have you ever felt so much stress in the world that all you wished was a little me-time? Well, V&M Naturals and Benibana Beauty Hub got our wish granted! Last week we were treated for a quick hair pampering session using the extensive specialty hair care line from V&M Naturals.

As you all know I recently cut my hair short because I was sick and tired of all the split-ends and damage all my hair bleaching and hair coloring has caused. So I’m excited to start fresh, with a new hair care routine. My hair type is thin, frail, and a bit greasy. Continue reading below to see what I’m talking about.

V&M Naturals’ Specialty Hair Care Line

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.

The Lichen + Coffee Shampoo and Conditioner duo  properly cleanses the hair without stripping all the good oils. This is all thanks to the powerful combination of actives from Lichen and hydrolyzed Silk that protect the strands from free radicals and irritation.

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.

The Lichen + Coffee Shampoo is priced at P 750.00 while the Lichen + Coffee Conditioner is at P 850.00.

Kikaysikat says: It smells like fresh apples! Not coffee! So good and refreshing! The shampoo lathers up very well and both made my hair soft right after use. My one qualm is that the conditioner is hard to dispense/squeeze out from the bottle because of its thick consistency.

Damaged hair that needs special care will be able to get the repair and life it needs with the Viola! Locks hair mask. This is a deep repair mask that is a 5 – 7 minute treatment. 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.

The Viola! Locks Hair Mask is priced at P 580.00.

Kikaysikat says: It’s a deep repair treatment you can use every week. I like that it’s in a tub and is very very  emolient. The instruction says you need to rinse it off, then use the Lichen Coffee Conditioner to seal it in.

Hair I Am Booster

Fuller and thicker hair is just a spritz away with Hair I Am. It is a light formula that goes on the hair after 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 luster, smoothness, thickness, and softness. Brittle, dull, and damaged hair will be a thing of the past with this travel friendly product!

The Hair I Am Booster is priced at P 580.00

Kikaysikat Says: If you’re low on budget and want to invest in one product, I highly recommend this one. I love using it before going to sleep together with my Hua Mulan Wooden Comb. I spritz 3-4 sprays focusing on my scalp then massage it in. It claims to targets all of my hair’s weaknesses like brittleness, damage, and volume.

  • 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.
