Review: L'Oreal Hair Spa Nourishing Creambath

Hey there...

I'm gonna review and awesome hair treatment product that has been a favorite of mine for years now. It's L'Oreal Hair Spa Nourishing Creambath!! I first heard this product from a friend of mine, she has a beautiful shiny black hair and I ask about what treatment did she use and she told me about L'Oreal Hair Spa and after that I drive to my favorite Cosmetic Shop in Jogjakarta a.k.a Toko Mutiara. Lucky enough there's still one tube available and I grab it as fast as I can... After that I've been a regular user of this product although I cheat with other products sometimes. Oh BTW now that I've moved to Surabaya I've been having trouble on getting my hands on this baby... Mainly because the store that sells salon supplies are quite far from where I live and I rarely seen this hair spa at the supermarket too.

Review: Scwarzkopf Extra Care Q10 Recharge Mask

Hi there....

I'm gonna review about a hair mask that has become one of my favorite as it smells great and makes my hair nice and smooth. It's Scwarzkopf Extra Care Q10 Recharge Mask and their Q10 Recharge series are intended for dry and brittle hair. I bought this before my hair becomes dry and at first because it was 50% discount but now I'm really glad that I bought it the first time. My hair use to be somewhat normal but now since it's getting long and now I move to a different city... IDK if it was the water, the weather or the environment but my hair are getting really dry.. I mean really dry.. I use to skip hair mask now and then but now conditioner doesn't seem to be enough and I use hair mask every time I wash my hair.

I was kinda bored with my old hair color so I change it again and this time I use Schwarzkopf Freshlight Foam Color in Caramel Brown. I bought this one months ago because there's a Buy 1 Get 1 Free at Guardian. My hair is getting longer so I hope one bottle is enough.

Review: Makarizo MK3 Hot Ice Mineral Oil

Hi there!! Today's I'm going to review this great product from Makarizo which is Makarizo MK3 Hot Ice Mineral Oil. I've already introduced this products before on this post and on that previous post I've already share about my hair problem and how my hair is pretty dry because I change my hair color a lot and how Makarizo MK3 Hot Ice Mineral Oil is perfect for me because it's specifically made for color treated hair.

The serum comes in a glass ampoule and I have to be careful because it's quite fragile. The serum itself has an orange color and what's unique about this serum is that you have to put this serum inside the fridge at least 2 Minutes before you use it to maximize its quality.

After the Hot Ice is put in the fridge it turns into a milky orange color and the texture has become somewhat solidify. So how about my experience in using this serum? Keep reading guys.....

This my hair looks before I use the serum and even the picture can show how it slightly dries at the ends.

Treat Your Colored Hair With Makarizo MK3 Hot Ice Mineral Oil

How the hair look is not only important for me but I think it's also important to many people. For me not only a great hairstyle can upgrade someones look it can also boosts confidence! Oh and did you know that the hair on our heads is meant to protect our abnormally large brains from the harmful effects of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays? It also keeps the scalps cool! But unfortunately for myself keeping a good healthy hair is apparently not an easy thing to do. I am surrounded by several problems such as:

Image taken from here

Humidity
Because I live in a tropical country where the weather is permanently hot and moist, I am without a doubt is very well acquainted with the disastrous effect of humidity on hair. Why? Because when it's humid, there's a high moisture content in the air and it can makes hair become unruly, frizzy and puffy and causes it to lose shine, smoothness and sleekness. Hair gets frizzy when it's humid because hair is 'hydroscopic', what it meansby that is that our hair has the ability to absorb moisture from the air so when it's humid the strands absorb the moisture and expand. As the strands of hair expand, they lose their shape and become twisted, which accounts for the frizzy look. Humid weather also leads to the overdrying of hair, which leaves it porous and more likely to turn frizzy. Humidity causes thick, curly hair to frizz and become uncontrollable. Whereas thin, straight hair will become limp and weighed down.To make matters worse when the hair is dry it'll get brittle over time and causes hair loss!! So yes I do have a dry hair problems

Pollution
I live in a city where pollution is definitely an issue that I have to deal with. Pollution from the environment can get into the bloodstream and cause damage to the hair and follicles and makes the hair looks dull and lifeless. I've also read somewhere that a research have shown that keratins, the basic protein molecules that form the hair structure, can be damaged by various toxins, chemicals and carcinogens found in polluted air and tobacco smoke that make their way into the skin, bloodstream and then the hair follicle.

Air Conditioning
Since Indonesia is pretty hot AC is something that I almost can't live without. But then again everywhere we go like the restaurant, cafe, mall and even office has AC right? Bu did you know that air conditioning is  another environmental factor that can have an adverse effect on the hair? AC dries the air and can dry the hair taking away the moisture that is necessary for healthy hair. The hair is also subjected to extreme conditions, cold dry air from the air conditioning inside and outside hot air and sun.

Taken from here

Hair Tool
I like to to try different hairstyle so hair tool is something of a necessary for me. But unfortunately using hair tools often can cause heat damage. How does it happen? What does heat from hair tools actually do to the hair? Heat has the ability of lifting the cuticles of the hair. Sometimes, a bit of heat is necessary to open the cuticles so that products can be absorbed. This heat can come from steam from the shower or warm water, for example. However, too much heat can lift the cuticles so much that the hair strand becomes permanently damaged. Damaged hair's cuticles will remain widely open and won't close again and it is also brittle and more prone to tangles and breakage. Heat appliances work by breaking the hair's hydrogen bonds. After the heat breaks the bonds, the cool surrounding air essentially "freezes" the hair into the desired style. The style stays put until hydrogen (in the form of moisture), is re-introduced. Even though the hair may look just the same when it reverts back, it actually is never exactly the same as before using the heat. Each time heat is used, the keratin structure of the hair breaks down a little. How much the keratin structure breaks down depends on how much heat you use and how damaged your hair already is.

Lifestyle
A healthy lifestyle definitely attributes to a healthy hair and it's not something can be attain in an instant by spending some bucks on the most expensive treatments. Hair is not something out of our body, it is very much a part of it and is under consequences of our lifestyle. I always try to eat healthy and gives my body the nutrients that it need but I have to be honest a healthy lifestyle like eating healthy food and exercising regularly is something that I don't do much. I try to eat as healthy as possible though but I always find myself too lazy to exercise or does sweeping, moping and cleaning my apartment every morning is count as an exercise? He he he

Taken from here

Hair Dye
I find myself changing my hair color every 3-4 month for the past year because I get bored easily and I think because I'm curious about what color would looks the best on me and by doing this leads me to a dry hair. The chemicals used to dye hair are damaging to the hair shaft and can cause your hair to look dry and brittle. As for myself this particular activity is what contributed the most to my dry hair problem as I can protect my hair from humidity with hat, use hair tool less often and I am definitely tries to eat healthy food often but I can't seem to stop changing my hair color.

With all those problems this is what my current hair looks like

My hair is slightly unruly, quite dry and has bit of a frizzy patch here and there and even though I keep trimming those frizzy patch they just keep coming back!! FYI I took this picture just after I wash my hair so it kinda looks like a lion mane and this is even after I put on a serum. Before that?? I don't wanna put a picture of it, it's too embarrassing .

 Nooo.... Take a look at that dry hair!!! I actually find myself lucky because I don't have severe hair-loss problems. I think it's dry because I change my hair color a lot.

I Change My Hair Color to Champagne Pink With Schwarzkopf Fresh Light

Hello!!

I can't believe tomorrow is gonna be Hari Raya!! I hope I can wake up in time for Shalat Ied.... My brother just got back home today and tomorrow after Shalat Ied our family is going to go for a trip to Surabaya. Hopefully the traffic won't be a bummer. Anyway... I change my several times lately since I was bored and right now I've change my hair color into Champagne Pink!! What?? Pink?? Yes..!! But not that cotton candy pink... More of a ash color with a hint of pink in it. At first I wanted to dye my hair using my last bubble hair dye but when I saw this BOGOF promo for Schwarzkopf Fresh Light Hair Dye at Guardian I decided to buy that one instead.

I think the color is very pretty ^^

According to the color guide either my hair will be like the top one or the middle one I think. I suppose I have to bleach my hair if I want a precise color.

Review: The Skinfood Citron Scalp Care Shampoo and Conditioner

Ola!!

How are you people!! I'm planning on making this post yesterday but unfortunately I had a crazy migraine and had to rest. But since I'm feeling better this morning I'm gonna continue what I had plan yesterday. Soo.... As the title said it's a review on Shampoo and Conditioner that I bought a few months back and because I wash my hair every two or three days it took quite long for me to review these products.

My Hair Problem:

Okay... Before I continue onto the review I'm gonna share you about my hair problem first. Here goes:

1. I have dry hair.

My hair is quite dry so I'm in a desperate need of a hair product that can nourish my hair.
2. I have itchy scalp.

I'm one of those unfortunate people who had itchy scalp!! I don't have dandruff problem though but most anti-dandruff shampoo helps tends the itchiness. On the downside though since I have a dry hair those shampoo made my hair worse so I can't really use them. Gaahhh!!!

3. I have a lion mane hair.
My hair tends to puff up like a lion and even though it does help to make it look that I have a lot of hair I think it gives me more problem. I usually tame them using hair iron but since I have a dry hair I can't do it often either, so I need a products that can help to tame my hair.
4. I had a few frizzy patch.
For some reason I had some frizzy patch on parts of my hair and even though I cut that part already, when my hair gets longer the frizzy patch come back in the exact same spot!!

After a brief overview about my hair condition let's continue onto the review....

Review: Kracie Ichikami Shampoo and Conditioner

Hello.... I'm gonna do a review on this Shampoo and Conditioner that I've been using for about 5 months I think and has already emptied out. I saw this Shampoo and Conditioner on Metro Gandaria City and it cost IDR 95.400 ($ 9.54) each and both are in 550ml pump bottle. I usually use Shiseido Tsubaki Shampoo and Conditoner but since it's not available in Indonesia I have to Pre Order them all the time and it is such a bother. Ohh... and BTW I have a normal scalp and my hair is a bit dry sometimes with a frizzy patch here and there.

Review: Inaura Renovate Nourish & Moist Hair Treatment (Blackberry & Cinnamon)

Perawatan rambut ekstra sudah menjadi kewajiban dalam ritual perawatan rambutku karena selain sering diwarnai rambutku juga sudah cukup panjang. Jadi penggunaan shampoo dan conditioner saja rasanya masih kurang deh untuk menjaga kondisi rambut supaya tetap sehat. Jadi minimal seminggu sekali aku biasanya melakukan perawatan ektra dengan menggunakan hair mask. Kali ini aku mau mereview produk perawatan rambut yang menurutku sih kualitasnya tidak kalah dengan produk-produk perawatan rambut terkenal lainnya dan dengan harga yang menurutku juga sangat terjangkau yaitu Inaura Renovate Hair Treatment. Produk yang aku gunakan kali ini adalah Inaura Renovate Nourish and Moist yang memiliki aroma Blackberry dan Cinnamon. Selain itu ada juga 2 varian lain dari Inaura Renovate yaitu varian "Purity and Renew" dan "Protect and Repair" dengan aroma yang berbeda pula.

Seperti produk perawatan rambut lainnya seperti masker, hairspa dan creambath produk ini kemasannya berupa toples plastik. Ukurannya juga macam-macam dari 500 ml, 1000 ml dan 5000 ml. Untuk ukuran 500 ml ini harganya cukup murah loh menurutku yaitu Rp 35.000 ($ 3.5) saja dan waktu itu harganya juga diskon 15% jadi Rp 29.750 ($ 2.975) sedangkan yang ukuran 1000 ml harganya Rp 75.000 bisa puas deh tiap hari treatment rambut.

Review: Sunsilk Damaged Hair Treatment 3 Minute Treatment Hair Mask

Sebetulnya aku sudah beberapa kali membeli produk masker rambut ini tapi entah kenapa gag pernah kepikiran untuk bikin review. Akhirnya setelah masker ini sudah mau pada titik darah penghabisaanya barulah muncul mood untuk buat reviewnya he he he....

Mengapa perlu treatment? Karena aku cukup sering mewarnai rambutku dan menyiksa rambut dengan berbagai alat panas seperti pengering rambut dan catok rambut, mau catok lurus, catok keriting, catok mermaid pokoknya segala peralatan rambut yang berhawa-hawa panas dehh!! Nah karena sering disiksa si rambut ini makanya aku butuh perawatan ekstra selain hanya menggunakan shampoo dan conditioner saja, jadilah kutambah perawatannya dengan menggunakan masker rambut. Apalagi aku paling malas mau ke salon karena butuh waktu dan tenaga tambahan untuk meluncur ke salon plus pastinya butuh tambahan uang juga hihihihi. Makanya aku lebih suka melakukan perawaran rambut sendiri karena bisa sambil multitasking, misalnya nih sambil mendiamkan rambut yang dimasker bisa sekalian ngepost review juga ╮(─▽─)╭.

Awalnya aku membeli seluruh rangkain produk Sunsilk Damage Hair Treatment Series dari Shampoo, Conditioner, Serum dan Masker tapi anehnya yang lumayan cocok sama rambut cuma masker dan serumnya sedangkan shampoo dan conditionernya malah membuat kulit kepalaku gatallll (╯︵╰,).

Review: Schwarzkopf Fresh Light Foam Color Berry Ash

Hello pretties..!!!

I've finally had the time to do a review on this hair color since I was too lazy editing the pictures... There's a lot of them and I finally narrow them down. I bought this hair color at Guardian Ambarrukmo Plaza for about $9 (IDR 90.000) I guess?? I choose the Berry Ash color since the other two is blonde and red.

The package has a very cute doll as a cover, and it was pretty bulky I think. Before I decided to buy this one I've been thinking of pre-ordering other foam hair color like Liese or Palty but the waiting period is excruciating, luckily I saw this product being tweeted by Guardian. 

Based from the color chart, if I dyed my hair using this hair color it would be like the top color chart

Review: Shiseido Tsubaki Damage Care Shampoo and Conditioner

Hello....

I'm in a posting mood today so I'm gonna make a few more post. On this post I'm gonna post about Shiseido Tsubaki Damage Care (or also known as Golden Repair) Shampoo and Conditioner. I used to use the red one which is Shiseido Tsubaki Shining with Tsubaki EX and super duper loving it!! (forgot to make a review though). Anyway, it is said that the Damage Care Series is an improvement from their Shining Hair series so I thought the result will be better than the red ones. I forgot the exact price for it both for the shampoo and conditioner set I think it's around $20 - $30 (IDR 200.000 - IDR 300.000) depends on the online shop because it's not available in Indonesian store especially in Jogjakarta where I live.

Here are the products features:

• Made especially for dry, permed, sun-damaged, color-treated and coarse hair, Shiseido's new Golden - Repair line is an everyday solution for healing and maintaining healthy hair.
• The hair enriching nutrients in camellia oil in a luscious thick conditioner that heals brittle hair, split ends and dryness.
• Amino acids help strengthen hair from the follicle.
• The Tsubaki, or Camellia flower, is packed with oleic acids that are extremely compatible with human skin.
• Excellent for everyday use, and improvements visible in as little as one use.

Review: Ellips Ultra Treatment

Hello people!! Been doing great??

Well today I'm gonna review about Ellips Ultra Treatment, this product supposed to to help preserving hair's health and the extraordinary combination of Everlasting Flower and Camellia Oil works all over the hair making it looks shiny and feels smooth & manageable.

This product comes in a pump bottle so it hygienic and you can control the amount of serum that you want to let out. I forgot how much this product cost but I think it is around $4 or so (IDR 40.000). It's a bit cheaper than other types of hair serum in the bottle (if I'm not mistaken) and it's the reason I'm attracted to it.

3 in 1 Headband Hairstyle with a bit of HOTD and FOTD

I can't believe I'm posting a blog at this hour when I should've been sleeping!! For some unknown reason today yesterday I can open blogger but I can't put on a new post!! Every time I click the new post nothing happens!! Or that roundy thingy just turn around around and around without nothing else happens... To top it off I can't open my photobucket and when I do I can't upload any picture or edit any pictures. Aagghhh...!!!

So this time I should've go to bed, but just before I just wanna try to click that new post button once again and then it's open!! So here I am typing at this hour...

Anyway... I'm gonna share one of my favorite hair accessories which is headband. Not regular headband but the ones with the wire wrap around inside. Confuse? Here's the picture

I love this headband since you can adjust the size so it won't hurt your head like regular headband. It's flexible because it has a wire inside the fabric. It's pretty cheap too... I bought for around $1 (IDR 10.000).

My Favorite Hairstyle #2: Braided Hair

Hello!! Hello!!
Everybody's been good?

It's the first Monday in September already..... I'm back from holiday to reality.... *sigh and the weather in Jogjakarta still pretty confusing. It's really hot in the day but cold at night. Last night I have to wrap myself in a blanket like a cocoon to make it warmer. Do you feel that way too? Or is it just me??

Anyway when daytime is really hot and humid like this I really really hate to parse my hair. The reason is obviously because it's hot and the second reason is my hair gets really limp and I don't like to wash my hair every single day just to get rid of the limp. Usually I just ponytail my hair but it gets boring sometimes, so what any other choices I have? Braid it!! I love to braid my hair, it's easy and it stays all day long!! I also prefer to do side braid since it's cuter and easier to make.

So here's some of my favorite braided hairstyle:

BTW forgive my almost bare face since I don't plan on going anywhere so yeahh... Anyway... Just focus on my hair... He he he... XP

My Favorite Hairstyle: Odango Bun

My hair has gotten pretty long and it's getting really hot but I still don't wanna cut my hair since it has taken me a year to grow my hair this long. Since it's pretty much summer all the time in Indonesia,I got to find some alternatives in hair style besides pony tail and off course in case I have a bad hair day. My hair is pretty fluffy and sometimes I woke up with hair like lion mane but I hate using straight iron or hair dryer to tame my mane since it will damage my hair and it took a long time to tame those bad bad hair.

 
Here's what my hair usually look like everyday when I'm not doing anything to tame its wildness ha ha!!
