New Cream Silk Triple Keratin Rescue Treatment Creme Review

Cream Silk Triple Keratin Rescue Treatment Creme

Bought for: Free with points | P199/200ml

Bought from: Sample Room

Here comes the newest from Cream Silk - Triple Keratin Rescue Treatment Creme in Ultimate Repair and Shine and Ultimate Straight. I don't know if you've seen my review about the conditioners but I love both and now I'm so happy that they also released a counterpart treatment cremes perfect for a weekly hair pampering session. This is like heaven sent to me because I'm having trouble with my hair nowadays. It's become so dry, dull and frizzy from the summer heat and lack of salon treatments. Now I'm so excited to get that shiny, sleek salon-like hair without spending a lot.

PACKAGING

Both are housed in a sturdy plastic tub that you have to twist open. It has an overall matte black body with touches of gold (ultimate repair and shine) and pink (ultimate straight). I love the overall packaging and it makes me think these are the luxury version of the old Cream Silk products lol. I appreciate all the necessary information that's printed on the jar. In that way, we're all aware of what we're actually putting on.

DIRECTION FOR USE

After washing your hair with shampoo and conditioner, apply Cream Silk Ultra Treatment Crème from root to tip and massage thoroughly to absorb into wet hair. Leave it on for 3 minutes. Rinse well after.

For extra nourishment and conditioning for your hair, the Cream Silk Triple Keratin Ultra Treatment Crème is recommended for use at least once a week.

ULTIMATE REPAIR AND SHINE

Cream Silk’s first potent treatment crème infused with our most advanced Triple Keratin Formula that deeply penetrates to treat every strand and instantly transform hair to ultimately beautiful.

With KERATIN RELAXERS to tame rebellious frizz, KERATIN SERUM to revive intense damage, KERATIN ESSENCE to restore extreme dullness.

Every treatment instantly nourishes each hair strand and helps repair damage inside and out for hair that's ultimately healthy and shiny.

The cream's thick and off-white in person and I honestly feel like it moisturizes deep down. All you need is a few minutes and your every strand feels like totally brand new. My hair is easier to fix whenever I use these treatments. Also, the fresh scent clings to the hair like forever. Just like most hair conditioners and treatments, it leaves a silky, slimy residue on the hair which I don't mind as I know those are hair relaxers for that hair with less frizz and damage.

Here comes the second variant! I honestly can't think of any thing different from the two variant. Both of them works like magic.

ULTIMATE STRAIGHT

Cream Silk’s first potent treatment crème infused with our most advanced Triple Keratin Formula that deeply penetrates to treat every strand and instantly transform hair to ultimately beautiful.

With KERATIN RELAXERS to tame rebellious frizz, KERATIN SERUM to revive intense damage, KERATIN ESSENCE to restore extreme dullness.

Every treatment instantly tames frizz and polishes hair strands from roots to tips for hair that's ultimately smooth and straight.

I seriously would spend and repurchase these new Cream Silk Triple Keratin Rescue Treatment Creme as with daily use, my hair is becoming more and more manageable. These are light on the hair too and doesn't make the scalp itchy and irritated. These are still available in Sample Room and the best thing is that you can snag these for free with the use of your SR points!

Always A Good Hair Day With Beauty Care Essentials Quera Pro Duo

Beauty Care Essentials Quera Pro Duo

Bought for: Free | SRP: P370 (Power Fix Serum), P330 (Smooth Complex Therapy)

From: Beauty Care Essentials

I'm not really the type who irons my hair or blows it dry or do any styling on a daily basis. I prefer to keep my mane as it is--trimmed and clean. I hate to complicate my daily routine so the simpler, the better. Just like everyone else, my hair couldn't be in great shape everyday and on most days without conditioners or treatments, it can't hide the fact that it's been uncared for and neglected. I am born with straight hair, luckily, but I still have to use something to maintain and keep it shiny, soft, smooth and definitely tangle-free.

Being a beauty blogger, I don't settle for anything for a really long time. I have to put everything in rotation and this is very evident with my hair care. I just use whatever's in my stash so I mostly end up with damaged and itchy scalp, worst case with dandruff and hair fall. These are the adverse reactions I usually get when using shampoos and conditioners that aren't hair-friendly. Because my hair's acting up, I decided to stick with a trusted shampoo brand for the meantime and it was right on time when I got my Quera Pro Duo gifted by Beauty Care Essentials.

Beauty Care Essentials is a Philippine homegrown brand and it's amazing to know how a local brand could keep up with the market's need and demand. So anything that underwent careful testing is something I would love to try for myself. And any brand which are composed of passionate and goal-driven individuals is something I admire.

QUERA PRO SMOOTH COMPLEX THERAPY

Quera Pro Smooth Complex Therapy is a different kind of deep conditioning treatment that you can use daily in the shower. The smooth texture conditioning formula when applied to hair, instantly penetrates to hair shaft for long lasting smoothness.
Use this product more often to help restore the abused hair strands caused by harsh chemicals and heat damage. Enjoy the power of moisture to hair!

The products comes in typical opaque white sturdy bottles and dispenses product with ease. The last time I had a quick getaway, I made sure to decant some on a tiny empty bottle just so I couldn't skip a day.

I also like that it has a lot of information printed on the bottle such as the claims, ingredients, manufacturing and expiry dates and directions for use--it made me think of how transparent the brand is.

The product is opaque white in color and has a thick but lightweight consistency. It also smells so sweet and nice and the scent lingers almost all day. I like hair care products with thicker consistency because I feel like they really tame and moisturize the hair from within. 

This product claims to have three powerful ingredients that are effective in moisturizing the hair such as: (1) Hydrolyzed Wool Keratin Solution that fixes damaged hair and restore moisture, (2) Avocado Extract known for possessing a lot of Vitamins and nutrients for the hair and (3) D-Panthenol which is responsible in making the hair restore it's luster and shine.

I use this like how I do with regular conditioners. I apply it liberally onto my hair after shampooing, let it stay for about a minute or two before rinsing off.

I love how it relaxes each of my hair strands and keep my locks bouncy and manageable. What I love about this product is that it does not cause dandruff or itchy scalp which I usually get from trying out new products. Also, it keeps flyaways at bay, no need for blow-drying because my hair looks straighter with this.

QUERA PRO POWER FIX WEIGHTLESS SERUM CONTROL

Quera Pro Power Fix is a unique type of "weightless" premium serum in the market that is suitable for all kinds of hair type, may it be straight, curly or kinky! Everyone's a victim of dry hair!
This is not just an ordinary serum that helps remove your frizz but it restores your damaged hair follicle that you got from harsh chemicals for your lavishing monthly hair color and straightening treatments. The combination of moisturizing elements and the star of all... the Hydrolyzed Keratin coats the hair shaft and tames down the unwanted dryness and split-ends.
It's like a genie in a "small" bottle! A guaranteed salon-quick-fix hair!
The good news is you can re-apply this anytime of the day without the "eeky"-greasy and heavy feeling on hair. Have that looking sleek, shiny, sexy look all day 'til night!

 

The Quera Pro Power Fix comes in a travel-size bottle with a pump and a clear cap. I honestly am not a fan of this type of packaging because I tend to lose the cap at most times. Whenever I had this on my makeup purse, which is pretty much every day, the cap always splits up with the bottle. If you are more careful than me, that is probably only a minor issue.

Just like the Smooth Complex Therapy, I find it amazing that you can see all the important information you will ever need on the body of the bottle. It comes with a box too wherein you can find the same information.

The formula is clear white and runny in consistency and has a really lovely lingering scent. Using it with the conditioner would really make sure your hair stays and smells fresh all day long.

This product is true to its claim--it's definitely lightweight and does not make your hair look and feel greasy at all. I love how it makes my hair looks so smooth and shiny without the oiliness and discomfort. I am using it every after bath while my hair is still wet, about 2-3 pumps starting from the ends and up and I'm always surprised at how healthy my hair looks until the end of the day. Thanks to its numerous active ingredients like Hydrolyzed Wool Keratin Solution, Avocado Oil Extract, D-Panthenol, Olive Oil Extract and Jojoba Oil.

Using this duo for about two weeks now, I can tell how softer and healthier my hair has become. It's easier to style my hair now and though I frequently dye it, it just seemed to get back to its original shape. I am just contemplating on whether or not I could repurchase this duo because to be honest, I kind of think that the SRP for both is a bit too much as there are other drugstore hair care products I truly trust. If that is not an issue for you, by all means, go ahead and purchase this Quero Pro Duo and I guarantee you won't regret it.

If you are interested, you can order via Lazada, Shopee, and Giltbox or visit BCE on their Instagram account!

Zenutrients Tea Tree Scalp Relief Review

Zenurients Tea Tree Scalp Relief, 50ml

Bought for: 50 points | SRP: P189

Bought from: Sample Room

Hello everyone! It's my birth month so I plan on writing as many reviews or blog posts as possible and one of my topics would be a product review--spotlight on this wonderful hair care product named Zenutrients Tea Tree Scalp Relief which I have been loving and using the past few days. I recently reviewed the shampoo and conditioner on their Tea Tree Line and I forgot to include this product on the post so here it comes before it's too late!

Claims

Made with Tea Tree Essential Oil, Peppermint Essential Oil, and Coconut Oil, this super cooling scalp spray relieves itch, eliminates dandruff, fights lice, and moisturizes and restores scalp health. This can be applied before or after shampooing, dependent upon personal preference, and can be used as often as you like. It is safe for children, as it has no parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and artificial color.

Packaging

I don't really find the packaging very useful. It's but a mess to apply since the product tends to jet all over since it comes in a spritz bottle when in fact, the product is not at all watery. It's not as if I would spray it directly on my scalp--that might even cause the occurrence of more dandruff when the product piles up and dry. I like applying it on my palms first before I spread it on my hair. I would prefer if it comes in a pump or a tube to avoid waste. However, I appreciate the it displays all necessary information like ingredients, claims, and expiry dates.

Scent

This product smells minty and I love it for the reason that I'm a huge fan of refreshing scents for they are very soothing to the senses. Also, the pleasant smell lingers for a few more hours after application. Zenutrients Tea Tree Scalp Relief's scent is comparable to ointments use to alleviate pains or products with Menthol and those who find them awful would not like it. I personally love them though. Also, this product reeks strongly of mint that sometimes it makes my eyes teary.

Texture, Consistency and Ease of Application

The product comes in a pearly white liquid that is somewhat runny but not water-like. When you apply it on your hair using your hands, you will get oily residues. This is very moisturizing on the scalp and hair and a half teaspoon is sufficient enough for daily use as it soothes itchy scalp and dry hair with its cooling effect. I would suggest not to over-apply on times when you have to go and spend hours outdoor 'cause this tends to make hair greasy and oily.

Performance

I am someone who has straight hair and that means my scalp and hair tends to oil up real fast. I personally love the very cooling effect it gives and I see this as a very nice moisturizer for the hair when I'm having dry strands. It also does not cause me further hair fall. It does what it claims, to be honest. It really soothes itchy scalp, gets rid of dandruff and prevents its occurrence, but given the fact that it weighs my hair down and make it oily, I don't think I prefer to use it on a daily basis.

Overall Thoughts

This product, despite not being friendly for those with oily scalp, is really amazing, that is, if you can endure having oily-looking hair for a moment. It also has Castor Oil on it which is proven to moisturize and encourage hair growth. This product is also made up of other nutritional ingredients intended for hair use that are natural and safe to use. I personally love using it on the ends of my hair, away from scalp since it instantly revives dry and dull-looking hair and I swear to that.

This product is available at all Zenutrients kiosks! Tell me if you've tried it already and let's keep a conversation going down below! :)

CP-1 Ceramide Treatment Keratin Silk Injection Review

Hi guys! Just because I have been on the mood to write, I'll be reviewing CP-1 which I got from Althea on their birthday last July. By the way, my apology for being inactive huhu. School works, as usual.

Anyway, CP-1 comes in a very simple, kinda long, clinical-looking packaging with a twist-able cap. It's got a pointed nozzle so dispensing product is not messy rather easy. It is also perfect for travelling because of its flexibility and small-sized packaging so space won't really be a problem. However, for a 20ml product, don't expect that it will run long. On a brighter side, it is so cheap that you can hoard for as many as you like without breaking the bank.

This product claims to hydrate and protect the hair with powerful ingredients that are proven to be effective in caring for our precious manes such as Keratin, Amino Acids, Elastin, Wheat and Protein.

When squeezed out, a translucent, a little bit runny product will come out. A dime-size is already enough for my mid-length mane. If you want your hair to have more moisture than it needs, you can simply add some more and it will dry to keep your hair lightweight and moisturized all throughout the day. However, do not over apply as it could make you hair greasy at the end of the day (because my hair naturally turns greasy easily probably because it is straight and according to study, those with straight hair tends to have greasier hair than those with curly ones in a period of time.)

The scent is lovely, I can't really determine the particular fragrant but it smells nice and it lingers for a few hours after application. With continuous use, you will notice that your hair will become softer, smoother and healthier looking than ever before. I also noticed that when I apply it on my ends, it would hinder it from having flyaways and split ends.

Overall, I love CP-1, it is so cheap yet so effective in eliminating or reducing the hair imperfections such as dryness, coarseness, and other hair problems. I highly recommend it whether you have dry or oily scalp and hair. Til my next post. Happy blogging! 

CP-1 Raspberry Treatment Vinegar Review

CP-Raspberry Treatment Vinegar

Bought for: P250 (Original Price: Over P700)

Bought from: Althea Philippines

The past few months, my hair has been taken for granted. I thought they needed less care so I paid more attention to skin care instead. It's also because I thought my hair is okay--I mean it was never dry nor coarse until I had my hair dyed twice before. What I noticed is that it became drier than usual and I get lots of hairfall. That started my search for hair care products that would address these problems. When Althea deducted additional pesos for CP-1 Raspberry Treatment Vinegar, I know I have to buy one. It comes in a large bottle with 500ml of products inside so super sulit talaga siya knowing that it would last me months. 

CP-1 Raspberry Treatment Vinegar claims to... (Read below :)

I am not supposed to take a photo of the information at the back but just in case you can read Korean. Hoho!

It comes in a fuchsia pink liquid with raspberry scent that stays all day as long as you don't indulge much on heavy activities. The consistency is watery runny so take extra care as you apply this on your hair as it has the tendency to spill somewhere when slipped on fingers. What I likeit how it keeps my hair feeling light all day at the same time gives a hydrated layer to my hair with that sweet familiar scent of raspberries. This product does not cause my hair to break or have split ends as well.

Overall, I love CP-1 Raspberry Treatment Vinegar. It makes hair instant soft and smooth each day. This can be avery good maintenance treatment after you had your hair colored or rebonded. It is so affordable given its size, hyrdating and conditioning for our manes. Highly recommended to anyone if you want an all day light and manageable hair without splurging much for expensive hair salon treatments.

Til my next post! Happy blogging!

REVIEW: Hortaleza Professional Hair Spa Treatment

As a beauty product junkie *ehem*, I always drop by at every beauty store if I have the time. (I wish I have all the time in the world haha!) Two months ago, I had my hair dyed in this favorite salon of mine. I also had their keratin treatment and they advised me to go back to their salon every month so that I could keep my hair smooth--since dyeing your hair could make your hair rough and frizzy because of the chemical content hair dyes have, I know all you are aware of that lol-- and well, I could not afford to get my hair pampered that often so I head to the HBC store, the nearest one from my place, to find something which I could use for my diy hair treatment. Oh how I love DIYs, not just you get to learn beautifying yourself, but you could also save a lot!

Anyway, the HBC people (lol) told me that this Hortaleza Professional Hair Spa Treatment is best for color-treated, rebonded and straightened hair. They told me how effective this product is but of course I know better not to believe until I tested it myself. And I wasn't disappointed! Thanks to them I got the chance to try the magic of this tub! Hahah! And I wanna thank them as well for patiently answering my questions until I brought the product all the way to the cashier. They are very accommodating as ever.

Hortaleza Hair Spa Treatment is available in 20g sachets (less than PHP20 I think?), 250g tub (for PHP153) and 500g tub (which retails for PHP200-PHP300). Should I have known at first that HBC has the bigger tub, I would have bought it instead since I could save mor
e if that's the case. Well, talk about being practical. Heheh!

This treatment claims to "help revive damaged hair" and is "ideal for color-treated hair and hair that has undergone rebonding, straightening and relaxing treatments"

I only dyed my hair just once in my entire life and I can tell that it already has damaged every strands of it. Before I dyed my hair, I need not to apply conditioner every after shampoo but now, I feel like I have to, otherwise my hair would turn to a bird nest. Seriously. I also noticed that it has dried big time so I really had to use hair treatment every now and then. I also think that rebonding my hair for the second time would tame my hair once again (since I have that naturally straight hair) but my friends said that I have that "nice" hair already and that I don't need some rebonding. But I don't think that's the case because it doesn't feel like that anymore.

That's when I decided that I really had to go to salon. The problem was that time, I did  not have 2K for the treatment! Hahahahah! Probably, next time.

I still want to have my hair rebonded though it has returned to its normal look again. But I hate those flyaways and those straighteners, and curlers, and blowers, so straight hair is where I'll never get wrong. Hahah!

Application: I apply it as directed and only once a week. After shampooing my hair, I apply a generous amount of the formula into it with constant massaging for a better blood circulation. Oh, and did I forget to tell you that I'm also adding honey, coconut and olive oil to the formula in equal parts. It was not directed though, but in my case it so works! After at least 3 minutes, I fix my hair into a ponytale, secure it with a band and top it off with a shower cap for better nutrients absorption. After 30 minutes (or an hour), I rinse my hair and let it air dry!

Can you believe it? A 250g tub only retails for as low as PHP153! I think it would last me for up to a year! You can also buy it in every HBC store nationwide.

The manufacturing and expiration date are printed at the base of the tub. Obviously, it has a life shelf of at least 2 years which is great since I think it will be emptied by 2016. Another thing that I like about it is the complete information printed on every product because if you're like me, you're going to check out/read every little detail first before purchasing it. You might want to know that the product you are purchasing isn't expired yet or you'll end up feeling sorry. (Hahah! Kidding! I'm pretty sure the HBC people won't sell/do anything that would possibly tarnish the image of the company.)

The formula was not at all yellow-ish. I just had to add some honey onto it since just like what I've said, adding honey and oil works well for my hair.

Photo below was the actual color of the treatment. It's kind of gel-like in consistency and smells good for me. It also has a kind of plastic protector so as not to contaminate the contents easily.

What I like:

• the affordability (PHP153 for 250g tub)
• long-lasting
• has glycerin known to be a good moisturizer both for hair and skin
• has Vitamin E known to prevent further damage and promote hair growth
• has Aloe Vera that promotes shine and moisture on hair
• smells really good (even after two days, the smell still lingers in my hair! It's just so sad that I need to use it only once a week. I'm actually tempted to use it as my conditioner instead.)
• its effectiveness (makes hair softer and smoother)
• exclusively available in any HBC stores nationwide

What I don't like:

• has parabens (lthough it's not yet clear whether parabens are unsafe or not, it would still be better if we get to be conscious enough as our health is what's at risk here)

How about you? Have you tried Hortaleza Professional Hair Spa Treatment? You can share it with me! Happy blogging! xx

Love, Hanna
