Hair Makeover with Seamless Balayage at Piandre

Two hours and forty-five minutes. Would you believe me when I say that's the longest I've sat through a salon treatment in my entire life? Well, it happened yesterday morning at Piandré Salon when I was treated to their Seamless Balayage hair color treatment -- and the wait was so worth it!

Lorys Duo Chocolate Hair Cream

Looks good enough to eat, don't you think so? =)  
Thick, rich, and creamy choco-caramel... for the hair only!

My girl actually thought it's caramel sauce, and it really does look and smell like one. Lorys Hair Cream -- it's your Brazilian hair spa in a jar! It sounded so sexy I cannot wait to try it for myself as soon as I got the sample, hahahaha...  I gladly welcomed to try this deep moisturizing hair cream mainly because I am currently in a phase of changing my basic skin care and hair care regimen with more moisture-intensive products.


I don't have treated hair, and it's not damaged either. But my hair tends to be dull and pouffy even with regular use of conditioner. It's extra pouffy especially when I leave it to (air) dry after a shower.  You don't want to see me with my hair like that! In Tagalog, it's what we call "buhaghag".


I can never, ever leave the house with wet hair and just allow it dry. If I do need to go out, I have to use my straightening iron or blowdryer to style it, or you'll find my hair in the usual plain ponytail when in a rush.


Sorry I was not able to take a "before" shot.  But those who know me a long time can tell you that my naturally thick and wavy hair is really buhaghag on a regular day. I've been using Lorys for 4 weeks now and I'm very happy with how my hair looks after it dries.


This is how my hair falls with Lorys Duo Chocolate, even if I don't use a straightening iron or a blow dryer.  Lorys is richer than my regular conditioner so I guess that helped make my hair more tame and smooth, and the strands look more in place.

I just scoop a generous amount, apply on damp hair mainly on the ends, and leave for about 2 minutes before rinsing. I towel-dry and style as usual.


I am quite satisfied with my Lorys Duo Chocolate variant.  What I like about it:
  • Tames and smoothens my wavy, pouffy hair
  • Can be used as daily conditioner
  • Can be used as special conditioning treatment (like hot oil) - wrapped in hot towel or cap for 15 minutes
  • Gives intensive moisture, vitality, and shine to hair
  • Rich, thick, and mildly scented
  • Super affordable at only PhP 148 for 450g jar
SRP @ PhP 148 - 450g

Choose from other Lorys Hair Cream variants for your hair needs, like Snake Oil, Shea Butter, Fruit Cocktail, and Ceramides.  A pump bottle would make it more convenient to use though.  

It also comes in a jumbo 1kg jar for only PhP 349 (approx. US$ 8)! Imported from Brazil, Lorys is available at leading department stores, drugstores, and supermarkets nationwide.

Mom-Finds: Yuko Aqua Gold Hair Repair Spray

Last Friday of the month:  Mom-Finds / Beauty product

"Ang kapal ng buhok mo" (your hair is thick).  This is how most, if not all, people describe my hair whenever I go to a salon or during the very few instances when people take notice.  It is thick, and dark, and dull.   Oh well...I never really fuss over my hair, or my appearance, as much as others would.  I often think my hair screams for my attention from time to time, especially when it poofs up and appears so dry.

Now let me warn you:  I do not claim this to be a miracle spray but I am just very happy and totally satisfied with what it can do for my hair, and my confidence! :)

Presenting...the Aqua Gold Repair Through by Yuko, hair treatment (leave-on) spray "for dry, sensitized, and damage hair". Made in Japan.
Available only at AHMS @ P1,800.00
I bought this spray at Akira Hair and Make-up Salon (AHMS) with the promise of giving my hair a healthier, softer, shinier look with regular use. Help with the Japanese description please! :)

My hair chronicles began with a new haircut and Yuko Yamashita hair treatment system from Akira salon which I got with a coupon deal. This was part of my 'pamper-me' project for my birthday month.  The conditioning treatment gave my hair a softer texture, making it more manageable. To maintain this, the stylist recommended the use of this convenient, home treatment spray.

As much as possible, I try to avoid featuring myself in any of my posts. I prefer to work behind the scenes. But (blog) duty calls and the inevitable happens.  So excuse the portraits and hair shots. I tried. Hard. No help.  Now here I am again, this time, featuring "The Hair". Sorry, I don't have "before" shots.
Finally....soft, tame head of hair!
You have to believe me when I say I really don't have the nicest hair and a I usually sport a ponytail for a clean, low-maintenance look.  The rare times I receive compliments for my hair was when I straighten it and wear it down.  The past couple of weeks that I've been meeting up with different sets of friends, "The Hair" has gotten raves, even on Twitter! LOL!  And so I thought I'd share my beauty find, especially for those who have a similar hair dilemma. Even for guys!

Truth be told, my hair instantly softens when sprayed, and leaves a very subtle sheen that livens up my usually plain, dull, dry hair.  Japanese hair technology at it's best?  It's not cheap so I just use it when I'm meeting people! =>  I am definitely saving every drop of this Yuko spray! Stocks must be limited now especially after the devastation in Japan.


On top of this, I sometimes use Citre Shine Anti-Frizz Spray Laminator. A shine mist that makes my hair look more polished and in place. I had this one for a longer time now and only use it after I style my hair with a straightening iron. It does create that glossy finish, though temporary.


Still, I dream of those lush, glossy, bouncy model-hair...in time, maybe...

There. I did it. Hopefully, I won't have to "model" for a post again! :)))

p.s.
For those wondering what straightening iron I used, it's Conair with wider ceramic plates that are more gentle on hair over metal surfaces. I ordered thru Amazon several years ago.  It's cheaper now at only $20.40!!! Check it out!
