 Maymay Entrata
PBB Big Winner Season 7, ABS-CBN

Rejoice launches a campaign dubbed as #RejoiceGirlGwapaKaDai, which centers on celebrating the beauty of Visayan girls. The campaign is led by Maymay Entrata, a proud Bisaya herself and Pinoy Big Brother season 7 winner and now an ASAP mainstay of ABS-CBN. Maymay is joined by other local beauties as shampoo girls representing different regions in Visayas.
 
A big dreamer herself, Maymay recalled her journey as she once dreamt to become a Rejoice shampoo girl. “We look up talaga yung mga girls in the commercial for shampoo. Sila yung parang naging inspiration namin. So when you become a shampoo girl it means you are gwapa and sikat. Using Rejoice is one of the best decisions I made so far, I just need 1 product for smooth, healthy and super bango na hair.” This is because Rejoice has a triple action formula that serves as shampoo, conditioner and perfume.

Maymay is joined by new Rejoice shampoo girls from Visayas --- Cebu’s Pride Nicole Borromeo who won Ms. Millennial 2019 in Eat Bulaga, Tacloban’s queen Chelsea Fernandez who was crowned Reyna ng Aliwan 2018, and Iloilo’s beauty queen Kim Crizaldo who was a finalist in Miss Universe Philippines 2020.
 
The three beauties represent Central Visayas, Eastern Visayas and Western Visayas, respectively.

  

Nicole Borromeo, Rejoice shampoo girl from Central Visayas
Ms Millennial, Eat Bulaga 2019

With a modelling career and her outdoorsy personality Borromeo shared that, Rejoice 3 in 1 makes her hair always runway-ready. “With just one wash I can enjoy the beach but less hair worry because of Rejoice 3 in 1, I have shampoo, conditioner and perfume all in one.”

I recently had the opportunity to experience the TIGI Bed Head workshop here in Cebu City. It was held at the Expose Salon in Crossroads, Banilad. It was the first time that I joined a workshop related to hair styling, since I honestly don't know much about hair products. (teehee)

I was just in awe seeing Ralf and Andy, teach the hair stylists from all over Philippines, their tips and techniques in cutting, coloring and styling the hair. They worked on several models swiftly yet still precise and the results were just amazing.


Ralf Boss, owns a TIGI Salon in Germany for over 15 years. He became the TIGI Art Director in Germany and soon joined TIGI in 2007. He moved to Taipei to lead the first TIGI International Academy in Asia. He is currently the TIGI Creative Director for Taiwan and Asia Pacific who also leads the Asia Educator Team.

Andy Cheong, has been in the hair industry for over 30 years and has received several awards for hairdressing in Asia. He is currently the TIGI Regional Education Director for TIGI Copyright Colour and closely works with Ralf touring all over Asia.


I saw them both in action and definitely learned a thing or two. The workshop was geared towards hair professionals since it was very technical. It also talked more about the new Shift Collection 2017 using the Tigi Bed Head Colour Trip line.

 
The 2017 Tigi Collection: Shift, shows a changing mood in hairdressing and colouring, embracing natural texture and creating personalized, distinctive styles. Eight new cuts and colours have been created to inspire creation of forward thinking looks for the contemporary client.


The workshop took all morning to finish. Then they showcased all the models they styled and worked on that morning, explaining what the main points were. (It's where I learned, focal point for the hair...lol)


I was fortunate to have the TIGI Bed Head experience. Andy, asked me what color I wanted and I told him something purple so he suggested and mixed the perfect color that he thought suit me. I also left Ralf to decide what hair style would suit me best.

This is the first time I had my hair bleached, and I was surprised that it remained soft and healthy. I was honestly dreading that it would become dry and brittle, but they proved me wrong.


There is one thing, I noticed about TIGI Bed Head products. Everything smells divine, and I mean literally. That even includes the bleach they used on my hair. I honestly did not smell that strong chemical scent you normally get at a local salon. From the bleach, the hair color, to the shampoo, conditioner and the styling products. It all just smells so darn good.

You can head to the Expose Salon, located at Crossroads, Banilad and experience it yourself. You can also buy Tigi Bed Head products at the Salon. For those looking for the Purple Shampoo (used to maintain hair color), they have it! It retails for Php1,800.

Until next time.

Cheerios!

There are some tips that you need to consider:





Author Bio:

Hair styling is one among the most important parts of the fashion world, they not just make you look whole but they also can enhance your looks if selected wisely, or else they can degrade your look as well. It is an obvious truth that many of us are unwilling about changing our hairstyle because of being going through impertinence. Can you remember the last time when you tried a new hairstyle? However, we notice our favorite celebrities in new hairstyles often.

I have been trying to finish up my existing Makeup and Skin Care products, and I'm just glad that I actually emptied out a lot of bottles and finished up some makeup. These are products that I have already repurchased before and so I'm ready to share what I thought about them.

Gah! my apologies for the 10-day hiatus! I haven't had the chance to blog about anything last week since my brother borrowed my Canon (point & shoot) Camera. I use that particular camera whenever I take swatches of products since it is lightweight and easy to use. I always have a hard time taking swatches using my DSLR camera because it's too heavy to take a steady shot with just one hand.

Anyway, I'm back and happy to share with you some products that I emptied for the past few months. I had another batch of empties earlier this year but I decided to skip blogging about it since most of the products from that batch are items that I already talked about.


I know these are just basic hair and body products, but I though you might be interested to know what I've been using at the moment.


Watsons Hair Removal Cream for Sensitive Skin - the tube says it contains Aloe vera and Vitamin E. This is actually my second tube and it's pretty good, to be honest. It really works and it's affordable too. It also comes with it's own unique plastic spatula thingy, which I use to apply the cream on my legs and remove them after a good 15 minutes.  This big tube is regularly priced at 199, but I got it for Php150 during their sale last spring. I use the hair removal cream on both my legs and the tube can last for 2 - 3 uses depending on your leg size. This also comes in a smaller tube priced at Php 99 only.

Human Nature Natural Feminine Wash in Chamomile Cool - This is my all time favorite feminine wash. It really does relieve itchiness and keeps me feeling fresh all day. This 50ml bottle can last for up to 3 months, depending on usage. (this is actually my 5th bottle of this variant) The best part is, it's super affordable at Php 54.75 only.


H2O Plus Face Oasis Dual-Action Exfoliation Cleanser - the tube says, it refines texture and energizes tone. I got this product from my Sample Room Holiday Goodie Bag. It costs Php1,750 for 120ml at the SM Beauty Section. I've been using this 30ml sample tube day and night for almost 4 months, and I have to say, it does what it is supposed to do. I'm even surprised that this tiny tube lasted this long. 


I only need a pea-sized amount of this product to wash my entire face and neck. It smells nice, similar to that of mild ocean scents. It lathers really well and also contains tiny beads that melts while I massage it on my face. I actually really like this cleanser, since it leaves my face feeling smooth and well hydrated. I would have bought this cleanser, if only it wasn't so expensive.

Marks & Spencer Warm Pomegranate Shower Gel - (the pink tube in the first photo) It's just a regular shower gel that smells like pomegranate. It's not as moisturizing as the other ones I've tried before, but doesn't leave my skin feeling dry at all. I got this as a Christmas present from my best friend last December, so I don't know how much this cost.

Syoss Repair Therapy Shampoo - this 190ml bottle cost around Php85 pesos only. It says, Intensive repair for smooth and shiny hair. It's my second time using this shampoo, it helped my hair feel soft and smooth. I didn't notice if it made my hair shiny though, but I think the Keratin content helped revived my dry and frizzy hair. I also don't feel the need to use a conditioner every time I use this shampoo. It's not bad all considering the affordable price.

Vitress Heat Protect Cuticle Coat - I like to apply this while my hair is damp since it can be a bit sticky on the palm of my hands. Once my hair dries, I noticed how easy it is to DE-tangle and hand-comb my hair. It keeps my hair looking healthy (not shiny) and has minimal frizz with this cuticle coat on. It retails around Php60+

Pantene All Day Smooth Miracle Water - This is actually my second bottle already and overall, I like it. It's an awesome product, especially if you don't like sticky creams or oils since this is water-based. I apply about three pumps of this product while my hair is still damp. It helps my hair become less frizzy. When my hair dries, it looks healthier, it feels softer and smoother but not shiny. If you just want a hair product that helps tame your hair without looking greasy, this would be it.

Lacoste Touch of Pink perfume - I received this as a Christmas present from one of my girl friends, last December 2013. This isn't a typical scent that I'd enjoy, but it's not bad at all. It is not overpowering like I thought it would be, it actually smells fresh, sporty and feminine, but a little sharp on the first spray.

Hey ladies, you're probably wondering why I'm posting hair care tips for winter hair when it's tropical here in the Philippines. Just really wanted to share this interesting article to my international readers who are currently experiencing the cold months and thought that they may find it helpful.

6 Must Read Tips for Healthy Winter Hair
by HSN Expert Ann Colville Somma 



Ah, Winter ... It's a wonderful time of year for you, but how about your hair?  Warm nights by the fire are lovely, except for that super dry air! Crisp walks in the snow could not be more refreshing, but who loves the static effect on your locks? And never mind accessorizing with all those chic hats ... the aftermath can be less than stylish!

But just as you change up your skincare routine for drier days with a richer moisturizer or a creamier cleanser, a few simple changes to your hair care routine can winterize your tresses and keep dry ends, flat looks, and static frizz at bay.

Here are 6 easy tricks to winter-proof your hair:

1. Get Rich

Dry air and indoor heating can parch your hair during winter months, so switch your everyday shampoo and conditioner to a sulfate-free routine.  These cleansing agents, found in many shampoos, can strip moisture and colorant from hair - so moving away can keep your color fresh too! Look for products free of moisture-stripping sulfates and rich in ultra-hydrating mono oil. 

2. Skip A Day, The Cheater's Way

If you've heard about the benefit of skipping shampoo days but haven't yet given this a try, winter can be a great time to give your hair and scalp a break, allowing your own natural oils to re-balance. Scalp health is essential for great hair, and if your face gets dry in the winter, imagine the state of your poor head!  But don't worry, you don't have to actually avoid the shower ... I love a creamy cleansing conditioner like Carol's Daughter Hair Milk Co-Wash - it has just enough cleaning power to leave hair feeling refreshed, and just enough conditioning effect to leave it smooth without weighing it down.

3. Style, Don't Strip

If you can't leave home without sleek tresses, winter is the time to be extra vigilant about protecting your hair from the stress of heat styling. To lock in moisture while you're styling, try an at-home keratin treatment. Some hair straighteners and styling tools come with features that can actually help your hair, like: keratin packs, or spray through, leave-in, keratin treatment before firing up your favorite tool.

4. Do Double Duty

Winter air is usually low in humidity, which makes for static-y flyaways and, you guessed it, drier hair! I love saving time (and money) by picking up a moisture-rich hair cream, which doubles as a styling aid and conditioning pack. I use the lightest touch on hair before I throw on my knit hat, and about once weekly I apply it throughout my hair and wrap in a just-from-the-drier towel to create a deep moisture treatment.

5. Fight the Flat

Low humidity can also be torture for fine, thin hair, but that's nothing a good night's sleep won't cure, I swear!  Taya Amazon White Clay & Acacia Collagen Overnight Hair Plumper works while you're sleeping to inject hair with va-va-voom volume by morning, and starting your style off right.



6. Good, To Go

Even if I'm not jetting off somewhere chic, I love to pick up a travel set or two for the winter season.  They offer great value and a chance to try something new - but even better, they ensure I have mini tress-tamers at my fingertips for those hat head moments when arriving at the office or an event.  Amika's Jet Set Hair Care Survival Kit contains their cult Obliphica Leave In Cream - perfect for smoothing frizzies.


With a few swaps and simple tricks, your hair will enjoy the wonders of winter as much as you do!

This is one of those times when curiosity got to me. I have seen a lot girls getting their hair color changed for years but I never entertained the thought of dyeing my own hair.  I was just so curious how my hair would look like if I lightened it a bit. So, this is the very first time that I applied a permanent hair color to my naturally black virgin hair.


I chose to use the Garnier Nutrisse Cream Nourishing Permanent Hair Color, since I felt like it it was a reliable brand. Plus the box only cost Php 299.00 pesos. I looked into brands like Revlon and Loreal but they were a bit pricey.


The box contents include the Garnier Developer Milk,  Nourishing Permanent Haircolor, After color Nourishing Conditioner, Plastic Gloves, and an instruction manual.

Since this is the first time I'm applying dye on my hair, I read the manual and also watched the Garnier Nutrisse Hair Color - How-to Application Video on GarnierUSA Youtube Channel, just to be sure that I do it right.


The manual says, it is best to apply the haircolor on dry unwashed hair, so that's exactly what I did. And true enough, there were no drips.

Upon application, I did feel a slight sting and a little bit of itch on my scalp but it went away after a few minutes. I let the haircolor soak in my hair for 25 minutes, as instructed on the box. Then I washed my hair until the water runs clear, then applied the Garnier conditioner. I used up the whole bottle of conditioner and left it to soak for 3 minutes then I rinsed my hair.


My hair color only changed a bit, but at least it is not Jet Black anymore. My friends told me that I should leave the hair dye for 1 hour before rinsing, for the color to really soak. But I followed what was written on the box. I am quite happy with the results because it did not dry out my hair like I expected it to.

From what I understand, I will need to dye my hair again after a few weeks, if I want to lighten it. Since I have virgin hair, it only stripped the natural black tint on my hair. I read somewhere that my preferred hair color will surely show the second time around.

How bout you ladies, have your tried to dye your own hair?
If so, what brand of  hair dye did you use?
What's the difference if I had my hair color changed professionally?

Until next time.

Some of you might know that I do know a thing or two about hairstyling. I am not an expert on the subject but I did teach myself the basics of hairstyling since it comes in handy during makeup gigs.

This time I will be sharing with you how I prefer to style my own hair for special occasions or events.  I will be using my Conair Multi-size Hot Rollers which you can see HERE.

I find using Hot Rollers to be most convenient for personal use, because I can simply set my hair with rollers in about 20 minutes and just leave it while I do my makeup. Then just loosen them once done.

The first thing I do is to plug my Conair Hot Rollers to 220V and wait for it to heat for about 10-15 minutes.


One of the rollers has a red indicator light when not in use. It turns white when the rollers have been heated. Once the indicator light turns WHITE, that means all rollers have been heated and ready for use. I suggest you place the rollers on a non-plastic surface to prevent it from melting since the container for the hot rollers is hot.

You might want to sport this curly brazilian hair, which you can totally achieve with the help of hair extensions or hair weave.

You can find a wide range of clip in hair extensions and other artificial hair integrations on hair specialty sites like www.seekhair.co.uk. They are one of the few sites who offer inexpensive hair extensions at great quality. I also suggest you check out their Remy Clip In Hair extensions. Remy human hair is considered to be the finest quality of human hair extension there is, as it gives the most natural appearance. Unlike other types of artificial hair extensions, Remy Hair remains soft and tangle free. 

How about you ladies, have your ever tried using either hot rollers or hair extensions?

Until next time.

It's been a while since I've had a haul. I am currently trying to finish more products which I already have in my stash so that they won't go to waste.  I also did post my recent empties HERE, so having this haul makes me feel totally guilt free.
