Hair Care - Hair Vitamin / Oil L'Oréal Review: Hair Care

Review: Jumping Into The Bandwagon of L’Oreal Professional Mythic Oil (Nourishing Oil)

I finally got my hands on the iconic L’Oreal Professional Mythic Oil (Nourishing Oil) which is suitable for all hair types!

After reading and reading all the good reviews about Mythic Oil I was desperate to get one. With RM100 Zalora cash voucher on hand I browse through Zalora Malaysia site and dang! they only have oil for colored hair and milk which I heard will wear the hair down. So I keep my eyes peeled on Zalora site until a few weeks later my friend told me they FINALLY listed one bottle, that’s right just ONE bottle of L’Oreal Professional Mythic Oil (Nourishing Oil). I rushed home and purchased it right away.

My L’Oreal Professional Mythic Oil (Nourishing Oil) arrived just 3 days later and I was so excited that I used it on the same day 🙂

According to L’Oreal, this nourishing oil is suitable to be used on all hair types. What I read from various review blogs is that the oil is light and not the heavy oily type. It is made from a blend of avocado oil and grape seed oil. Both are good ingredients by the way.

What L’Oreal claim is that your hair will be instantly more supple, tamed and glossy. It also gave the hair a lightweight feel and finishing. Hmmm, interesting. The oil will instantly absorbed in too meaning the oil doesn’t sit on the hair for long.

Aveda™ Hair Care - Shampoo & Conditioner Review: Hair Care

Review: AVEDA Invati™ – A Nature’s Solution for Thinning Hair

Coming from thin hair gene family I am constantly worried that I’d face hair thinning as I grow up. I have high forehead just like mum and lesser hair on top of the head just like mum too. If you didn’t know high forehead people have lesser hair. Growing up I was constantly told by my mum that I don’t have a lot of hair. Then I found out from my aunt who’s a hair stylist a few years ago that it’s not true that I have lesser hair. I have quite a lot of hair in fact because the bottom half of my head has more hair. How delighted. But then my cousin sis started to have hair thinning problem after she gave birth to her daughters. New mum tend to have hair loss and I freak out. What if I’m the same too since I don’t have a lot of hair on top?

When Aveda introduced their new range; Invati™ which is a solution for thinning hair…I was more than happy to try out the goodies from my door gift received at the launch. You can read here for the launch event and brand introduction of Aveda 🙂

Invati™ comprises the power of Ayurveda (the ancient healing art of India) which was fused with 21st century technology—in densiplex™ and invigorating blend of turmeric and ginseng. Known for it’s effectiveness in Ayurveda, organic turmeric is the star ingredient in Invati™.

As a result of using Invati™ system hair loss is reduced by 33%*. Aveda™ is not 100% natural but it’s 97% NATURALLY DERIVED**
The new Invati™ system is clinically proven to reduce hair loss due to breakage and to help you keep the hair you have longer.

*Due to breakage, in a 12-week clinical test of the Invati™ system.
**From plants and non-petroleum minerals.

 

Invati™ system is very simple. Just 3-step. That’s it. It’s so simple and a piece of mind that I found myself doing the same routine every night. Cleanse, condition and rehabilitate.

Ellips Hair Care - Hair Vitamin / Oil Review: Hair Care

Review: Ellips Hair Vitamin Hair Treatment and Smooth & Shiny

Growing up I’ve always been told that I have beautiful, straight, shiny hair. I kept my hair straight and long since young as it’s easier to manage. One question I’ve been asked frequently is what do I use on my hair. My answer had always been the same ” nothing, just shampoo”. Yeap shampoo. I don’t even use conditioner on my hair as I’m too lazy.

As I grew up I started implementing hair conditioner. Hey it’s never too late to start ;). Then hair masque, hair oil and hair moisturizer. I’m always proud and feel blessed with good hair but all that happy thoughts were crushed when I went to perm my hair during my younger days. No no, it’s not the perm that destroy my hair. It’s the hair stylist.

Can you imagine my hair stylist told me I have the most unhealthy hair. I was like “Huh? If this hair *grabbing my hair as I speak* is unhealthy what is healthy hair?”. I’ve seen girls with the most frizzy, dry and a head full with split ends and I don’t even have all those. You know what she answered me? She said cause my hair have static. Duh! First of all hair static is very common. Now let’s understand a bit what is hair static before we moved on to the review shall we.

What is static electricity?
Hair is made up of atoms, which in turn are made up of electrons, protons and neutrons. If the atom has the same amount of protons and electrons, it is neutral. When electrons move from one atom to another, though, the atom can become positively charged, causing static.

What causes hair static?
Is you just washed and dried your hair using a hair dryer, your hair may have static when you brush it. Dry hair usually attracts positive electric charges causing your strands to literally repel each other and “fly away.”

How to deal with hair static?
Don’t brush or comb your hair more than necessary. Go for wooden comb rather than plastic. Implement hair products such as leave-in conditioners. This will fight static cling and help your hair lay down thus eliminating hair static. Moisturizing hair often such as conditioning will eliminate both dryness and static.

 

So. My hair is NOT unhealthy after all.
Anyway I picked up a box of Ellips Hair Vitamin Hair Treatment for fun after seeing the TVC. I like it so much that I went back to pick up another 2 boxes. This time I pick up Ellips Hair Vitamin Hair Treatment and Smooth & Shiny.


If you have doubt on this hair vitamin you can opted for the single blisters to try first. Ellips Hair Vitamin 2 Blisters @ 6 Capsules is retailing for RM8.16.

What’s the different between both hair vitamin? Hair Treatment vitamins are the combination of Jojoba Oil, UV Protection, Pro Vitamin B5 and Vitamin A, C, E which helps to treat damaged hair structure and reduce split end caused by hair blow-drying, curling, coloring, perming and rebonding. As a result hair looks healthier, manageable and shiny. Smooth & Shiny vitamins on the other hand are the combination of Aloe Vera Oil, UV Protection, Pro Vitamin B5 and Vitamin A, E which is to moisturize, to provide nutrition and to make your hair smooth, manageable and shiny.

Hair Care - Styling Product Lucidol-L Review: Hair Care

Review: My Secret to a Wavy Bouncy Hair with Lucidol-L Designing Pump Hair Jelly (Bouncy Wave)

Reader Joey recently emailed me asking about what styling product I’m using for my hair. I’ve gone through 5 bottles of it and Joey’s email reminded me to review it.

Everyone who had their hair perm before will tell you that it takes time and effort to maintain it. I don’t agree. It takes me just less than 5 minutes to style my hair and in today’s review I’m going to reveal to you my secret and that includes how I do it in a fast and easy way.

Oh just so you know..I don’t wake up with this hair. I woke up with loose and fluffy hair. How do I ended up with this hair?


The secret weapon is this. Lucidol-L Designing Pump Hair Jelly (Bouncy Wave) which I bought from Watsons for RM16.50. There’s a few type for you to choose. I like my hair to have that dry-look and wavy so I chose Bouncy Wave. I don’t like my hair to look wet like how other styling product gives you. At the beginning I only bought this to try. If it gives me that wet look then I need to ditch it and hunt for a new product again. Little that I know this is exactly what I was looking for.

After I wash my hair every night, I’ll just apply this product by section to my damp hair and air-dry. Of course it’ll look nice but it’s not going to be so after you wakes up the next morning.

Hair Care - Shampoo & Conditioner Olive & Tebe Review: Hair Care

Review: My Hair is Loving Tebe Hair Nourishing Shampoo & Hair Hydrating Conditioner

Tebe (pronounced teh-be), is an exciting new product range from the Simunovich Olive Estate for face, lips, hands and body that combines the ancient traditions of olive oil based skin care, with the powerful antioxidant ingredient, olive leaf extract.

A few weeks ago I was given a set of Tebe Hair Nourishing Shampoo plus Hair Hydrating Conditioner to try and review. After using the duo for about 2 weeks, I’m ready to share with you my 2 cents review 🙂

 

Tebe Hair Nourishing Shampoo 250ml – RM106
This shampoo comes in a 250ml bottle which I think is quite reasonable judging from how little of amount you need for each wash.
