Who would have thought that the food we eat 3x a day would be the newest trend that’s about to take over the beauty shelves, especially the hair care section?

Enter, rice oil — the underrated hair beauty secret of ancient Japanese women, and now Filipinos are bound to experience its powerful benefits. 



If it’s worth any consolation, 2020 has been such an inventive year for the beauty community. The beauty world has been constantly introducing big ingredient innovations we’ve never seen possible before. Just take a look at the micellar and collagen trends that were only thought to be beneficial for the skin but are now being sought after for hair. Who knows what’s next? And yet here we are again.


Here Comes Rice Oil Essence, The Solution to Luscious Damage-free Hair 



The age-old secret to beautifully long hair comes from the 2000-year-old Japanese tradition of using rice water to wash hair. For thousands of years, East Asians have taken advantage of this superfood’s high concentration of vitamin E and have been using it since to maintain their luscious long hair. The gold colored concentrate comes from the outer brown husk of grain. The abundance of vitamin E in rice oil can help reduce inflammation and reverse damage to the hair follicles. It can also act as a natural UV protectant, shielding strands from the harmful effects of too much sun exposure. It’s the perfect ingredient to maintain strong, long and shiny hair. 

If you’ve been dealing with limp, brittle, dry, and damaged hair — a shampoo with rice oil essence might just be what your hair needs.

Pantene took the hair game up a notch by extracting and distilling rice oil essence extracted in Wakayama, home to the Aragi-jima Rice Terraces to create a more potent ingredient, blended with Pro-Vitamin formula.

Hello Plantitas! That was most of my friends called themselves, a group of mothers who are into gardening during a pandemic. For them, its comforting—just add sun, water and positive vibes and you're on your way. My friend passed me along some aloe vera and told me that this is so easy to plant, no hassle at all. And plus it is good for the hair — very organic!





Aloe Vera, The Clean Beauty Holy Grail Reshaping Hair Care


As attractive as they look like in a pot, aloe vera plants have been hailed as a natural ingredient with many positive skin benefits for thousands of years. Aloe vera leaves are full of gel-like texture that are rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fatty acids.


Aloe Vera also contains enzymes that repair dead skin cells, while moisturizing the skin. It is rich in vitamins C and E which are nutrients that improve the skin's elasticity, for a firmer and youthful look.

Back in 2018, the rise of aloe vera gel tubs have taken over the Philippine beauty community. Aloe vera’s ability to soothe and provide hydration to the skin, boosted its popularity in the ever-humid country. And now aloe vera is proving to be an effective ingredient not only for the skin care world, but also the hair care industry.


Experience Plant Powered Showers with the Benefits of Aloe Vera




In its raw form, aloe vera can be used as a mild cleansing agent that gets rid of dirt and product build-up, while leaving hair smooth and with more volume. But if you're not into rubbing plant leaves on your hair, you can also experience #PlantPowerInEveryShower with Herbal Essences bio:renew blend shampoos that contain real aloe vera, kelp, and histidine. It hydrates each strand to provide frizz control, adds shine, and nourishes dry hair — making hair soft, manageable, and smelling great.

A couple of years ago, I had this most horrible experience with my hair when I decided to change my style of hair depending on the requirements of the character I want to portray for my OOTD, I got it bleaches, coloured and even curl my hair just for a new look. Without realizing that I have already damaged my hair. The problem is that I have to visit a salon which cost me too much for hair treatment.



Is Your Current Conditioner Letting You Down? Time to Switch to Get Salon Level Hair!


QUARANTINE  MONTH

It goes without saying that with the many things you’ve probably learned about yourself during quarantine, being fully aware of your surroundings is one of them. You can only do so many activities at home that even the nooks and crannies in your house are now worthy of attention. So much that you’ve probably rearranged your bedroom layout, revamped your house, DIY-ed your clothes, and have definitely done something to your hair.
Almost half a year into the lockdown, you’ve most likely noticed almost all of your hair flaws by now. And since hair salon appointments are still a thing of the unknown future, you’re probably left wondering how to deal with those pasaway strands, or more commonly known as tutchang.

How to deal with tutchang, really?
Yes, you’ve probably heard of tutchang before. But do you know what actually causes it to go cray? Tutchang is the frizzy baby hair at the roots caused by everyday exposure to heat, humidity, and frequent use of heat-styling tools that weaken your hair fibers. These strands can stay pasaway throughout the day even after you set it with a hairstyling product.

Your previous salon treatments might have tamed your tutchang — but with no salon treatments now, you might be noticing them sticking out more than usual. Even if you’re rocking the best video call OOTD, tutchang can take the spotlight from you with every popping strand.

Here’s the good news, you don’t have to rely on salon treatments to treat tutchang, a great conditioner can actually do that for you. So, what are you supposed to do when your current conditioner isn’t as effective as you thought it would be? Sis, you need to switch it up. If your current conditioner isn’t dealing well with tutchang, maybe it’s time to move on and trust the miracle of starting anew by exploring better products for your hair woes.


It’s time to make the switch to the REAL Collagen Miracle.



If you’re looking for the solution to tutchang, so you can achieve your smoothest hair ever, look no further than the new Pantene Collagen Miracle Intensive Serum Conditioner! It contains real collagen — an ingredient that has done wonders for the skin is now in a conditioner. You won’t have to even look back on your past conditioners now that you’ve found the one.

Pantene Collagen Miracle Intensive Serum Conditioner is formulated with a blend of Pro-Vitamin B5, miracle serum, and real collagen — sealing in nutrients and locking in moisture, turning dry, frizzy hair into shiny, smoother hair (from roots to tips!) every day. This hair conditioner targets damaged strands and strengthens it to become frizz-free and salon-smooth all day.

You can now bid goodbye to wondering when your next salon appointment will be! No need to get back with your old conditioner now that you can tame tutchang and achieve salon-level results with Pantene Collagen Miracle Intensive Serum Conditioner.

Sit back, relax, and fight tutchang by switching to Collagen Miracle — checkout Pantene products through Lazada or Shopee from the comfort of your own home.

If you notice Korean beauty and skin care products are taking over the Philippine beauty market. Davao City residents' complexion looking youthful and fresh than usual, perhaps it's because they've spread on PHp78 face mask from Korean beauty haven TONY MOLY, which just arrived into town.

Honestly, a typical Pinay may not be exactly a skincare fanatic compared to Koreans, but right now we are slowly indulging into the popular Korean skin care and makeup trend.

The biggest challenge here is, can we all show that we can afford to try the Korean skincare routine without having to spend that much. TONY MOLY helps you on how to remain on-that budget level with their products without burning your pockets, for the first time Tony Moly customers you can try their 8 Best Sellers.

The store also offers makeup, palettes, hair care, fragrance, eye care, nose care, skin care with natural derived ingredients and Instagram-worthy personalized makeup.  





While the store does offer a wide variety of products in a range of high and low prices, many of the items are quite reasonable. Moisturizers run around P300+, while masks can go as low as P78.

Plus, the best part of all is having Tony Moly near my place! I love the location because it is easy to find at the ground floor of SM City Ecoland Davao just near PetCo.

Imagine having a dull moment with your hair, thinking to shave it completely. Well forget it! There is a place that will bring back the glow of your hair.

HAIR PHILOSOPHIE by JING MONIS

The best tip to have a beautiful hair is having a good and healthy lifestyle, but due to busy schedules which are all stress-related health issues we neglect to take care of our hair. To restore your hair's softness and shine, we need someone to check and remind us that, "Hey! You forget something in your life, settle down and have a break...let's do something with your dull hair!"

Indeed a perfect day because we got a chance to meet and greet Jing Monis himself in the salon. The presscon started with laughter as Jing Monis crack a joke and everyone in the room started laughing out loud. Then we proceeded to ask serious question about his work and personal life, how he deals salon problem, etc...

Time constraint because he need to catch up his afternoon flight, we get a wrap up of the most important information and details about his future plans and ended our meet and greet by a photo session together with Ms. Lelis Pimentel (Franchise owner of Hair Philosophie Davao).

***a good news to all fashion enthusiasts out there.. as Jing Monis disclose to us a secret that YOU will surely love...it's all about BRITAIN, IRELAND,  and MODEL in the Philippines Soon!***

Knowing that I am one of the chosen blogger to avail of a hair pampering by Hair Philosophie by Jing Monis'(HPS) Creative Team. A press delight that send via email thru Rain Dimalanta, Marketing & PR Manager of Jing Monis Salon Inc.



Indulging with the finest hair services, using the premium salon brands such as Schwarzkopf Professional, Macadamia Natural Oil, and Wella Professionals.


I HAVE MY HAIR DONE

Honestly, I have a brittle and dull colored hair because of my endless retouching of hair color. So, when Rich Chua(my Hairstylist) asked me what to do with my hair - I answered, "just make it back to its shiny, smooth and healthy hair".



After the washing, they apply color to my hair using two mixture of colors, Schwarzkopf Professional Igora Royal Hair Color or the 5-88 Light Extra Red Brown 60ml and Schwarzkopf Professional Igora Royal Hair Color or the 7-65 Med-Auburn Gold Blonde 60ml.


Thanks so much, now I know how to achieve my hair color now!

Rich Chua together with his two other assistance really take good care of my hair. It was a feel of relief that I achieve the satisfaction I need.



It was a dream come true when I got to see the result after the HAIR COLOR, HAIR CUT and HAIR TREATMENT at HAIR PHILOSOPHIE by JING MONIS located at the 2nd Floor Abreeza Corporate Center, JP Laurel Ave., Bajada, Davao City.



Recommendations:

  1. This is just a suggestion since we all know that people now are relying more to social medias like Instagram, Facebook, TWITTER and SNAPCHAT to update statuses or post pictures about their whereabouts. I suggest that wifi should be 'accessible' as soon as they are inside the salon - no need to ask for a password.
  2. as soon as the clients get inside the salon they can make update & post pictures -- This is another way of promoting and attract new clients! what happened is that we need to ask for the passwords, this will Just add workload to the front desk & manager, instead of ASSISTING and giving inquiries and details to customers, they are all distracted if someone tend to ask for the password again and again.

All in all I really have a total hair pampering. I was amazed with the service and as I said I am greatly satisfied with my hair. A good excellent service and a BIG SHOUT OUT to the Jing Monis Creative Team.

Thanks for the love!!!

Beauty in Japan is a serious business, as for told to us by Chairman Hideki Ota of Be-ing Suites Davao during our PR Social Media Blogger Invitation. 

Photo credit to Busyqueenphils

 When decided to put up a training school here in Davao City, his only aimed is to introduce the Japanese art of hair styling by training Filipino hairstylists; housing both Japanese trainers and Filipino students at the same time offering future job opportunities in Japanese salons abroad. But the idea changes, as the management decided to open up its doors to business travelers and tourists. Read more HERE.


Before I divulge my beauty experience, let me tell you a brief idea of what a Japanese Hair Salon based on what Mr. Ota explained for, why 'Beauty Salon' in Japan is different to Western salon or any salon here in the Philippines.

A Japanese beauty salon approach is a combination of a kanji character with both "graduate school" and "hospital". The Japanese hairstylists outpaces the Western handling of hair treatment, typically because in a Japanese salon you will expect a thorough scalp massage and drink service + shoulder and hand massages and in-depth style counseling.

All of these, I agree because I've experienced it during my session at the Be-ing Suites Salon.


Be-ing Suites Salon - The place is awesome! So spacious and clean. The suites itself is energy efficient and environment-friendly.


The Scissors - They use expensive scissors made only for the professional hairstylists.




The Proper Handling of Scissors


The Expert Shampoo Service

The first day session, I get a Hair Treatment from Be-ing Suites Salon trained staff. And yes, I am very, very happy to get a thorough shampooing. Well, it's pretty common with all the other salon to get a service like this, but the only different is Japanese hair salons give ample attention to your scalp.

Using the Automatic Shampoo Machine, designed to provide comfort to customers especially pregnant and senior clients. And Hair Products all are from Milbon Inc., the No. 1 distributor of hair products for salon in Japan.




Sounds weird, but surely you will appreciate how the staff spends many minutes massaging your scalp and identifying problem areas.

Ms Estrelle Ebagat of Be-ing Suites Salon
Trained Staff


In my case, I really had a problem with dandruff. Good thing that the staff ask me if there's any areas that are itchy or sensitive, so that while massaging  my scalp,  she will also do the scrubbing sending tingles down my spine. A massage which you only experience when you are in the bedroom. So relaxing and refreshing!

***By the way, they used Warm Water in shampooing hair and massaging your scalp.


HAIR COLOR APPLICATION



A hair color chart ideas for deciding which shades to pick. That will help match your hair type to the style you want.

Next is checking your hair and scalp again. And they will decide what hair color treatment to be use, whether Schwarzkopf Professional Essensity Organic Hair Color, ammonia-free hair color with Phytolipid Technology.

 
or Shwarzkopf Professional Igora Royal True Hair Color, offers outstanding performance for true color partnership with premium quality products, delivering 100% performance - even in the most challenging situations.



 
In my case, they prefer to use organic hair color, suited for my scalp problem --- not too strong, so that it will not irritate my scalp!

CHECKING MY HAIR & SCALP




What's nice is that they use digital scale measurement in mixing, to get the color precisely without damaging your hair.




And because I have a colored hair, they do is to correct the color better.

CORRECTING COLOR



For 45 minutes, correcting my hair color, they wrap my hair and waited for another minutes.



And after 25 minutes, they wash my hair and massage my scalp again.

You will see here on my before picture that my hair color is drastically different. It's not properly distributed.

BEFORE

The end result is a mix-combination of red and yellow,  but now with a few fixes, my colored treated hair is perfectly distributed.

AFTER

And little bit of wavy hair to give volume and to Make a Dramatic Change.

STATE OF THE ART JAPANESE SALON EQUIPMENT

Aside from having an automatic shampoo machine for the hair & scalp, they also have for the nails - The JAPANESE NAIL SHINE.


A Japanese Manicure using Triple Glad Super Shine, the shine will last for 2 weeks.


 First use the SMOOTHER to buff and smooth the nail plate.


Remove the dust and dirt from the prepared nail plate, during the process of polishing, small pieces of debris can make the shine uneven.

Using a buckskin buffer already have a beeswax paste and talc powder ingredients that make your nails shine.


Lastly, you can put primer (optional).


The Result.





First time to experienced an authentic Japanese Beauty Hair and Nail Make-over and thanks to +Busyqueenphils, Ms. Cheryl and Chairman Hideki Ota for inviting us. 

To book by appointment, please do visit Be-ing Suites Davao. Or message them via FACEBOOK.
