Ask me about hair

[oli_birdie]

Hello everyone :) Ever since I started working with L'Oreal a year ago, I've come to learn a lot about hair :)

So I'm opening my blog to any question about hair :D Hair Color, Hair styling, Perming, Straightening, Hair Care, the best salons, the best deals, the newest treatments, hair stylists,

Just ask and I'll try to help :)

could you help me look cool?

as in i meet you one day, and you show me what would look good on my hair, minus anything that would speed up my genetic predisposition to baldness?

Hair cuts are always the best way to get a new look :) Here's a nice idea from one of the hairdressers I work with: hair cuts represent a certain phase of our lives.

If you are still wearing your hair-do back in High School, or in College, then you will feel like you are still in High School or College. Since grads na tayo, try to get a new look na :)

Go through magazines and find something that you like :) Cut it and show it to a stylist. The thing with salons is that they dont usually carry magazines with cool male styles. Usually female mags lang ang meron nila.

Yun :) If you feel like going for a bigger leap, go for highlights :)

er... I intend to teach kids... i need something marginally professional.

Unless you want your hairstylist friends to have a look at me?

( i sound as if i need a doctor!)

Go to a salon and ask for their best person :p I'm sure they'll be able to give you a good cut :)

You cant go wrong with Piandres or Fix Bench :) Affordable na yun :)

Not sure if the school will allow it if you have highlights in front of kids :p

And your icon is so cute.... it scares me.

hmm..tell me, o hair guru, where is a salon that cuts/styles well and is still within budget? ;)

[oli_birdie]

In the Greenhills area, I'd recommend Piandre or Skilz Salon in Wilson Street :) I have tried both, and the services are good :) They give good massages and sometimes even drinks too :) Plus mid-priced hair-cuts :)

BIRDIE!

I like your icon... heehee

anyway, my question goes:

i have naturally wavy hair, which i had chemically straightened (not rebonded) three years ago, and then after my last straightening in july 2004, i had it permed last january (i know, wawa naman my hair...)

what are good products can i use on my chemically-cooked hair so it won't be dry, split-enddy and looking dead (at the same time have cute bouncy curls)? :D

[oli_birdie]

I'm guessing super walis-ting-ting na ang buhok mo :)

Chemicals from perming and rebonding opens your hair cuticles and makes the edges rough and coarse. The chemicals have taken away the intercellular cement that binds these cuticles together.

Just go to any salon and ask for a L'Oreal Power Repair B (or L'Oreal Powerdose as some salons prefer to call it) treatment. It contains Ceramides which fills in the gaps between the cuticles to cement them together again which makes the hair feel smoother. Average service price is from P500-700 (depending on hair length)

Buy a hair masque as well and use it at home once a week. After shampoo, towel dry your hair and apply the masque. Leave on for 3 minutes, then rinse. (Make sure it's L'Oreal!)

is l'oreal kids shampoo suitable for adult hair? it's one of my favorites, especially the passion fruit variant :)

for this one, I'll have to consult the marketing people of L'Oreal Paris :)

I'll get back to you on this one with a future post :)
