COLORS by Zenutrients is the first Filipino line specifically for the aftercare of colored hair
One of the easiest ways to drastically change your look is by transforming your hair. There's a multitude of ways you can cut and dye your hair in an instant, either at a salon or by doing it yourself. In just a couple of hours, your jet-black hair can morph into a vibrant, "fifty shades of purple", just like @piakarinaa’s hair! And in a flash, you can gain a boost of confidence you never knew was inside you. The transformation itself? That's the easy part. The aftercare, however, may be a bit trickier.
That’s why COLORS by Zenutrients has made colored hair after-care more accessible locally and at an affordable price point, too! The new brand offers hair care for everyday maintenance for a duo benefit of gentle toning and extra moisture. Both of which are the hardest to maintain for dyed hair.
Curlies, listen up: This is the BEST salon to get a haircut in Metro Manila if you have curly hair
When you’re born with naturally coily, curly or wavy hair like me, then you know the struggles of styling it. It really is one of the hardest things to master when you start learning how to take care of textured hair, am I right? Especially if you’re just starting out, it can get complicated and overwhelmingly messy.
And so it was such a thrill when I was finally able to book a haircut with Cutz and Curlz by Jazz’s hair salon! They offer quality haircuts and styling sessions for beginners taking care of curly hair, as well as long time CGM (Curly Girl Method) practitioners alike.
Why I LOVE the Saborino Shampoo and Treatment Moist duo for my dyed hair
My hair has always been one of the physical attributes I pay most attention to but only last year did I really learn how to care for it properly. I have also become more confident in exploring different styles and colors so my hair has been through a lot - to say the least.
I am fresh from my fifth dye job of the year so I decided to put the Saborino Shampoo Moist (P995 / 440ml) and the Saborino Treatment (Conditioner) Moist (P995 / 440ml) to the test!
Six things you NEED to know before you color your hair
Hair dyeing is infinitely tempting for those looking to change their look, and also infinitely intimidating for the first timer. What kinds of dyes are there? Do you need to go to a salon? What’s a toner? Why does the shampoo need to be purple? There are so many factors to consider when getting your hair colored and it can be quite confusing to a hair color virgin. I was once a clueless noob, too, so I’ve outlined some tips from lightening, to dyeing, to maintenance to help you dip your tips into the wonderful world of hair coloring:
This Japanese serum makes hair super shiny in just a minute!
If like me, you don’t have the time, budget, or patience to sit through a salon hair treatment, you’re going to want the Kracie Dear Beauté Himawari Oil in Treatment Gloss & Repair to your shower essentials ASAP.
To be honest, I never really cared much about my hair before I let Sam dye my hair (for the first time ever!) in a rocking purple hue. While I totally loved the crazy color, the bleaching process totally fried my hair to the texture of straw. My hair became dry and rough and prone to tangles and split ends! For a while I tried to manage it with tubs of conditioning treatments that only seemed to help if I applied them every day. Eventually I got tired of doing these daily 10 minute-long hair masks, and just had the damaged hair chopped off.

Lorys Hair Cream
What does this photo make you think of?
Floating before my eyes are apparitions of sticky sweet pudding, icing on top of cupcakes, whipped cream, ice cream, flavored yogurt - you get the idea! Now I want dessert! Anyway, seriously now. The good-looking stuff on top can't actually be eaten (sadly) since they're for your hair.
Lorys Hair Cream just landed on the shelves of Watsons two months ago. It's big in Brazil, which is what compelled the Filipino distributors to bring it to the Philippines. They contacted me and asked me to try Lorys.
So what is it exactly? It's a product that you can use for a quick n' cheap hair spa at home. You can use it two ways: as a conditioner and as a treatment (hot oil). The five variants (Ceramidas, Duo Chocolate, Snake Oil, Shea Butter, and Fruit Cocktail) are designed to target specific hair problems. I only tried one that seemed the most applicable to my topmost hair concern - Shea Butter, which is supposed to nourish and shine curly, dry hair.
What I love about the product
- As promised, it really moisturized my curly hair. It's more bouncy and soft to the touch.
- The texture is very creamy. Half a handful is enough for my whole head of hair.
