Teen Tips 2020 (Re-Writing/Updating)

↠↠ Hair Care Routine

My natural hair was wavy, frizzy and tragic. Sobrang buhaghag nya as in lalo na pag-sina-shampoo ko sya. Hindi ko sya pinapaliguan every day or paliguan ko man sya, conditioner lang ang ginagamit ko. That's why after almost 2 years of doing nothing on my hair, I decided to undergo Brazilian keratin. My mom has a friend who's a hairstylist. So, after my decision, nagpa-schedule na ako ng home service last month since it had a holiday on Monday which was perfect for 3-day treatment-no paligo ng buhok. They offered me a good package. Hair coloring, rebond and Brazilian keratin for almost 3,000 pesos which I think is an affordable and cheap price.Until now I really love how it turned out. Hindi sya straight na flat na flat, Brazilian keratin helped my hair to have volume at the same time it gave life and shine to my hair.

I also purchased products that will help my hair to look more radiant, natural and healthy. These are the current products I'm using;

Head and Shoulders Smooth and Silky Shampoo

I used to dislike head and shoulders before. Ginamit ko dati yung green, sobrang lamig nya sa anit saka feeling ko yun yung reason bakit dry na dry ang buhok ko dati. Pero since 2015, nagkaproblema na ako sa dandruff so nag try uli ako ng head and shoulders, this time I used the pink one. Sobrang nagustuhan ko sya, hindi sya nakaka-dry ng buhok, long lasting ang bago nya then nagiging silky ang buhok.

Dove Shampoo

I also use any Dove Shampoo but mostly I use the gold one.

Pantene Pro-V 3 Minute Miracle Colour Protection

My mom advised me to use this product as per daily usage. It's a little bit pricey but I really need good quality hair care products especially nagpa-rebond ako. The first thing that I've noticed after using it for the first time was its long lasting smell. Until the end of the day, I can smell the essence on my hair. It smells like divine fresh flowers. Napapansin ko din na nagiging healthy at shiny ang buhok ko. I'm still on my first bottle of the product since I don't use it every day.

Vitress Instant Relax Cuticle Coat

Ginagamit ko sya once a day after I took a shower. To be honest, hindi ko gusto yung isang product ng vitress kaya medyo doubt ako nung binili ko ito sa 7 evelen. Hindi ko kasi makita sa Watsons yung dati kong ginagamit na Argan Oil. No choice ako kaya bumili ako kahit yung 20ml lang. As for review, okay lang naman sya kaso once na inapply mo kasi sya, later on, parang wala na. Nagda-dry sya agad kaya hindi ko gusto ang vitress. Kailangan iapply mo sya every time nawawala na ang coat sa buhok unlike sa ibang product na na-try ko na pangmatagalan talaga.

Hair Treats Hair Spa Tsubaki

Buy one take one sya sa Watsons kaya binili ko. Maganda naman syang gamitin though nung una kong gamit, nung binabanlawan ko, kulay pink sya, akala ko tuloy magiging pink din buhok ko. After shampoo, naglagay ako ng hair spa tapos gumamit ako ng shower cap. Hinayaan ko sya for 20 minutes saka ko binanlawan. Halos once a week ko lang sya nagagamit.

Virgin Coconut Oil

Once in a while, naglalagay ako ng VCO sa buhok then minamassage ko sya especially sa anit 20 minutes bago ako maligo. Medyo naglalagas buhok ko sa ngayon maybe because of stress and pollution.

Aloe Vera

May tanim kami sa bahay ng aloe vera, if feeling ko medyo nagda-dry na ang buhok ko or naglalagas na, kumukuha lang ako sa tanim tuwing gabi tapos nilalagay ko lang ang gel at minamassage sa anit. Iniintay ko lang syang matuyo bago matulog, parang overnight hair mask nadin sya.

Here are some current tips that I do:

Don't use shampoo every day.

Most of the shampoos we use, mataas ang pH balance which makes our hair frizzy and dull. Nagsa-shampoo lang ako pag oily na talaga sya or marami akong ginawa kahapon- pinagpawisan, gumala, na-expose sa polusyon, etc. Ang ginagawa kong pag-shampoo is, gumagamit ako ng tabo tapos doon ako naglalagay ng tamang amount ng shampoo at hahaluan ko ng tubig para kahit papaano hindi sya gaanong matapang. Binubuhos ko lang sa ulo ng paunti-unti tapos minamassage ko ang anit ko.

Treat your hair once in a while.

If you can't afford going to salon, buy at least hair treatments for your hair. Iba-iba tayo ng klase ng buhok kaya mas maganda if magta-try tayo ng anong magandang gamitin para sa buhok natin. I use different products then kung saan gumaganda ang buhok ko, yun ang binibili ko ulit. Sa Watsons may mga sales pero mostly kasi na nasa sales nila, malagkit gamitin kaya choose wisely.

Avoid exposing your hair from pollution and direct sunlight.

As much as possible, gumamit tayo ng paying or cap or anything na magagamit natin para hindi ma-expose yung buhok natin sa araw pati sa pollution, pero if hindi talaga maiiwasan, lets treat our hair often.

Avoid heat

Know the weather, kung maganda naman ang panahon, go! Pero if hindi naman talaga kinakailangang gumamit, huwag na. As much as possible, iwasang gumamit ng hair strengthener or blow dryer every day.

Those are the current tips and things I do to treat my hair. For more updates, follow our youtube channel, it's Euphoria Paradox (link on my wattpad account).

Always,
