Glow by Lady E

As many of you may very well know, I suffered from depression for a while when my urticaria was active. That's why I didn't blog for a long time.  I couldn't eat well and I certainly couldn't use my regular products. I flared up with every little thing. One of the dermatologists I saw told me to change all my toiletries. So I did. Starting with these three. I tried organic shampoos before but they made my hair stiff and gave me dandruff so I stopped using them. I was really hesitant to use these products from Jason but I had no choice.  First time I used them, I was, wow! It's as if I was still using my regular shampoo and conditioner but without the rashes and itchiness after getting out of the shower. These are fragrance free and gluten free, perfect for someone who suffers from chronic allergies.  I've also made a discovery. I never thought that I was allergic to regular hair care products until I used these two. As far as I can remember, ...

I haven't given my hair much thought growing up. I've always been satisfied with it. However, after giving birth, I've experienced all sorts of problems. My hair became dry, my scalp became dry. Then there's hair fall and allergies. These problems got me thinking. It's time to change my hair care routine. Let's start with the shampoo. I use OGX shampoos because they are organic. Here's the current one I use. Photo courtesy of OGX website I make sure to get my hair wet thoroughly before I apply shampoo. It might also be tempting to put a lot of shampoo to get that oh-so-wonderful bubbly feel but the recommended amount is as big as a 5-peso coin.  I also try to switch shampoos every 2 weeks. I've already tried the Keratin shampoo and conditioner from OGX. They were great for a while but then I think I got allergic to keratin and I ended up with an itchy scalp.  Because of this, I decided to buy a clarifying shampoo: Photo courtes...

I discovered a product that works with my keratin-treated hair. It takes minimal effort but the results are great. Check it out here .

I never cared about my hair brushes and combs because I hate combing my hair but when my hair needed a break from perming, I had no choice but to get a good brush and I found it! Read all about it here .

Photo from Google After several years of taking steroids, I felt the effects when I finally stopped. My hair started falling into small clumps and I could really see my hair thinning out. I have no idea how the effects of the steroids would stop but I gotta do something, right? It was fortunate that Dove hair care was launching in the Philippines and so I bought the shampoo and conditioner for hair fall and this tub of Hair Fall Rescue. I used this treatment twice a week. On the tub it says to leave for a minute or two. I leave it on longer and rinse it out thoroughly. I did not see the effects immediately but I can really say that I had less hair fall overtime. This treatment plus the Kerastase Age Recharge (which I blogged about a few days ago) really saved my hair. When I went back to my stylist for a hair cut a few weeks ago, he commented that my hair was so thick that he was going to put a lot of layers to it. I was really glad to hear that. I used to have a full...

This is the best hair treatment I’ve tried so far. My hair was damaged after I used the Etude House Bubble Hair Color. The effect was not immediate. My hair dried up over time. I went to my stylist to have it fixed. I was in the salon for one treatment and then his assistant recommended that I try the Kerastase Age Recharge. I can’t remember the exact price but it’s at least Php2,500. This is actually cheaper than going to the salon every week to have my hair treated as that will cost Php1,200-Php1,8oo. I’m glad I invested in this product. It lasted several months! You only need to apply a small amount to the tips of your hair. Then I massage my hair up so that the tips will touch other parts of my hair. The stylist’s assistant taught me this trick. He said this is a good way to distribute product and make it last longer as you only need a small amount every application. I just add a little bit more when needed. This product made my hair softer. I used this twice a week. ...
