Women are obsessed with beautiful hair, and why not? At the end of the day, a good head of hair can make all the difference.
Filipino women are always worried about buhaghag hair, or the windblown look. The infamous line, “Mahangin ba sa labas?” can imply that your hair is out of shape and is in disarray. This can cause stress, especially if you have an important meeting ahead of you and you are all set to cinch a big deal.
Really, we just all aspire to have perfect hair, but sometimes it’s just not as simple as that.
Supplements
My obsession with good hair started when I was in high school, when the heat and humidity of the class resulted in frizzy hair. I would constantly iron and blow-dry my hair, which caused it to thin, and at such a young age!
I researched with my mom and quickly recognized the importance of taking supplements for my hair. I took biotin (vitamin B), a Silica supplement and flaxseed oil every day and coupled my supplements with a nutritious diet. My hair quickly became thicker and healthier.
Pairing a good diet with a good hair regimen is the best route to getting lush tresses. Women who are comfortable with an at-home hair routine will love Kerastase Discipline, a new range of hair products that contains a very high Pro-Keratin concentration designed to tame even the most buhaghag hair.
The shampoo, Bain Fluidealiste, is sulfate-free, and is designed to restore hair fiber weakened by chemical treatments. The Maskeratine is a masque that texturizes and brings great smoothness to your hair.
This range is said to be a breakthrough; the Morpho-Keratine compound works to fill up parts of your hair strands that have lost substance, and in so doing reconstitute your hair. The whole range promises to work on creating a second skin on your hair surface to smoothen the strands, facilitate detangling and protect hair from humidity and pollution, leaving your crowning glory at its healthiest.
Salon keratin treatment
If you have the time and budget to visit a salon, a keratin treatment helps in taming your locks, especially if they tend to have a mind of their own. Kerastase has also introduced the Discipline range as an in-salon treatment, where manageability is achieved without chemically straightening your hair and losing its volume.
Even the best genes can lead to worn-out locks if you subscribe to a poor diet and are subjected to stress, toxic pollutants and other environmental factors. Similar to a good skincare habit, caring for your hair will keep you looking young and beautiful in the long run. The effort you put into your hair now will be so worth it.
