How to Have Healthier Hair for the New Year

 

My hair is TRASH. 

Hahahah.  What a way to call my own hair right?  I am honest.  My hair is one of my concern since I was a teenager.  I remembered saving up my allowance to buy hair care products.  

I was born with unhealthy hair.  Kinky texture, dry and brittle.

So I spent my whole life taking care of it to look as decent as today.  Whatever you see today - even if it's still dry - is the best of my hair's ability! :P  

So to those who want to know what I've been doing - or using, here are some of my top products that I have purchased and repurchased.

Healthy hair starts with healthy roots.

I seem to have thick hair, but you are definitely tricked by the illusion of thick hair!  I have a lot of hairfall and my super patient husband is already complaining!  

"Have your scalp checked and use something!!!" - yup!  That's from him!

I did purchased a lot of hair thickening products, a lot of them are greasy, and worst, smells super bad!  SO obviously, I got lazy and did not even bother to do something about it.

Thankfully, I discovered Hairreve Hair Thickening Serum - when the brand says Hair Rescue, well, it is true!  I have a huge blob of "thinning hair area" making my hair looks thicker on one side and super thin on another side.  I used this spritz bottle after every shower and spritz all over my scalp and massage.  

Can I tell you a secret?  I was even trying to save this product so I only spritz (sometimes) on the thinning hair area and I can't seem to find that area anymore after finishing up the whole body!  I was amazed!!!!

Best of all, the product is NON-greasy, smells SUPER GOOD and best of all IT WORKED.  It really worked!  

Strengthen your Hair 

Especially when you love to use styling tools!  The constant blowdry, curling, straightening will put a huge toll to your hair.  I find my hair to be more brittle when I was trying out different hairstyles using various hair tools! 

So today, I can't seem to use any heat styling tools without protecting it with a product.  

Currently loving Aveda Botanical Repair Strengthening Leave-in Treatment.

Hairfall, hair loss, hair thinning —- these are just some of the hair issues I actually don’t worry about because my only hair concern was Dryness, Frizziness and uhm...white hair!

That’s what I thought.

Because of the pandemic I have been stressing about my parent’s health for the past year and of course, my son’s well-being.  I found myself sleeping normally at around 3am (earliest) or around 4am. NOT HEALTHY...not healthy.  

That said, my stress is manifesting not only on my face but hair!  It doesn’t help that I don’t like to cut my hair as I am enjoying the length as I get to practice my hairstyling skills (Used to do hairstyling professionally BTW!)  I am seeing a lot of hairfall nowadays - I know...they are clogging my bathroom sink, and I have full hair whenever I vacuum our floors!  

So you think I have a full head of hair?  THINK AGAIN, I am a PRO Hairstylist so this was done with the help of hair tools!

With constant heating and styling, I also see a lot of hairfall in between styling!  Grabe, it gets more stressful than ever!  

Last year, I hosted a brand video called Hairreve, you can find the videos Part 1 and Part 2.  I learned so much about Hair loss and hair treatent from Dra. Rica Mallari of St. Lukes Medical Center.

We also interviewed Stephanie Lontoc who have gone through hair loss issues after giving birth and she mentioned Hairreve , a brand approved by FDA.  The bottle I got after hosting the event was actually used by my older sister who suffered hair loss for years!  After using a bottle, she repurchased another bottle at Mercury Drugstore for Php1,400 (Also available at Shopee) and I saw the vast improvement myself.

That said, I also got another bottle for myself and started using it before it’s too late!

To those who don’t know, hair rescue thickening serums can be used before you have the actual hair loss, this is like a serum for your face, you use it daily to prevent further or future hair fall!  That’s what I am doing now, PREVENTION is better than cure as they say!  I mean, if I can stop further hair loss, why not?

I have started using Hairreve for a good week plus and I like how it felt on my scalp.  It has cooling sensation and constant massaging gives a bit of a nice blood rush!  (I must be a really good masseuse! :P). 

Obviously I haven’t seen any huge difference as of the moment as changes can be seen as early as 2 weeks to a month or more!  (Depends on individuals!)

And here’s a great news!

If you want to try it for yourself and you are living in the Philippines, I am giving away 3 bottles to 3 winners on my Instagram!

I can’t wait to update you guys my hair situation. 

But I have full trust in this product since this got a thumbs up signal from a head of hair unit in a prestigious hospital!

Keep smilin'

Stay happy!

 

Causes of Hair Fall and How to Deal with It!

If you have concerns or issues on hair fall or hair loss just like Stephanie Lontoc, you may want to watch the first part of the interview HERE.

It was mentioned during our first part of the interview a product called HairReve which Stephanie used.  We all knew it is a plant-based and natural hair thickening serum that worked for Stephanie.  It may work for YOU so I also get the chance to interview Dr. Rica Mallari, Head of Hair Unit, Dermatology Center at St. Luke's Medical Center to learn more about the causes, symptoms and possible solutions to such issue.

Some of the takeaways that I learned during this educational interview?

• Stress can really cause hairloss.
• It is best to use plant-based product in helping our hair grow thicker.
• Hair loss and hair fall can start at an early age.  The youngest patient Dr. Mallari encountered is around 10-12 years old.
• Both male and females suffer from hairloss.
• Shedding of hair happens more on women due to pregnancy / hormonal changes.

All About Hair Fall / Hair Loss #AskAMW

Early this year, I hosted an informative video regarding hair fall. I had fun interviewing fellow mommy Ms. Stephanie Lontoc, and she was very vocal about her experience and stress regarding this matter (thank's Stef!).

Speaking about stress, we are suffering a lot of stress due to COVID-19 and I wanted to put out this video because some of you may be suffering from hair fall/hair loss and is feeling at a loss regarding this matter.

I am glad I was able to interview a professional - Dra. Rica Mallari, Head of Hair Unit, Dermatology Center of St. Luke's Medical Center and a Fellow in Philippine Dermatological Society to enlighten everyone on how to deal with Hair Loss and Hair fall. (Part 2 video on the interview with Doc Mallari to be uploaded soon!) Please watch this video and see how Stef found a solution in a product that is FDA approved and made with natural active ingredients.
