Happy Skin Hair
Happy Skin has definitely found its niche in the local skin care and makeup scene. Now it enters a new stage as they launch Happy Skin Hair. Available online and in-store, the collection is made up of a shampoo and conditioner treatment in two variants: Soft & Straight for dry, damaged hair, and Volume & Bouncy for fine, flat hair. If you’re curious to know how they faired in our weather, read Katsy’s review of the Volume & Bouncy variant here!
The collection was formulated and made in Japan, the hair innovation capital of the world, BUT tested on Filipino hair to withstand the Philippines’ heat and humidity. Infused with Hydrolyzed Elastin, Biotin Peptide, and their signature Powerhouse 4 Actives, these essentials are designed to nourish the hair and scalp. It also features luxurious, lasting fragrances with thoughtfully curated fragrance notes. The sulfate-free formulas also ensure gentle yet effective care even for colored hair. Check them out at the Happy Skin boutique nearest you!
