Yun Nam Hair Care Treatment Review

16 Dec

Though I have been experiencing hair loss for a couple of years by now but these days I am really stressed out on seeing huge clumps of hair falling out every morning when I wash my hair and strands and strands of hair all over the floor of the entire house. And as if it is not enough of a nightmare, my scalp has recently became terribly flaky and disturbingly itchy – a condition that my hair stylist has insisted as Sensitive Scalp.

Yun Nam Hair Care Treatment

I have stepped into Yun Nam Hair Care Heartland Mall Branch with huge anticipation.

https://lifelittletales.wordpress.com/

Upon filling up a questionnaire, the assistant branch manager proceed to perform a computerized scalp analysis and walked through the computer screen with me as she went along.

Though I was fully aware of my own set of problems but it still shocked to see how bad the state of my scalp is under the scope. To my horror, my scalp was kind of like covered with dandruff-like flakes and the consultant explained that such are buildups of dead cells, hair products, pollutants and such. She said that while my hairstylist is partially right about me having a sensitive scalp, what she has failed to tell me was that one of the culprit that contributes to the problem could be those chemical hair treatments that I do frequently. She warned that such treatments would worsen the condition further and lead to more hair problems if left untreated.

I have almost fallen off my chair when the consultant has diagnosed me with oily scalp and I was like: What? OILY SCALP? But my hair is so DRY!!!

Lesson learnt: The condition of your scalp and hair is two different issues. Your hair may be dry as grass but your scalp could still be an oilfield. Gosh! And all this while I have stressing my scalp with the wrong type of shampoo! My poor head!

After the analysis, the consultant concluded that we should work on the cleansing of the scalp and prescribed me a Customised Herbalogy Scalp Treatment for that matter.

After the consultation, I was lead into their treatment room for a thorough shampoo and rinse. Gosh! The Ginseng shampoo smells heavenly!

After which, the consultant came back with a bowl of mixture customized with ginseng and other herbs and applied it on my scalp using a small cotton piece and put me to steam for 30 minutes.

The prescribed treatment is targeted to deep cleanse the scalp by unclogging and repairing damaged hair follicles while strengthening the hair roots and stimulating new hair growth.

After the treatment, I was back to the consultation room for another round of scan and I was delighted to see the leap of improvement through the before and after scan. And as promised, I was feeling so much lighter and fresher after the cleanse. The best thing is, I did not experience any itch on the day or the day after and the day after!

It generally would take about 2 hours per treatment including before and after hair analysis and half and hour of hair steaming and the number of treatments required will solely depend on individual needs. As for my case, the consultant has felt my scalp condition is quite severe and has proposed about 40 treatments.

YADAH Natural Shampoo

13 Oct

I have gone down to the hair salon to get my hair re-colored the other day.  The chirpy hair color technician, barely works in the salon for three month and doing my hair for the first time, bared no bar and babbled as though we have known each other for ages. Twenty minutes into his job and he has already splashed out a detailed summary of his life and shared freely the juicy gossips of the female colleagues and even clients that he have attended.

Taking a clue from his openness, I jumped at the opportunity and asked if he would wash my hair instead of sending the shampoo boy to do the job. He accommodating obliged and I quickly threw him the bottle of Yadah Natural Shampoo, “help me do a test. Replace this with your the salon’s regular Re*** brand shampoo when washing my hair.” I went on to explain that I am doing a review and would love to hear the verdict from the expert. Seemly pleased with being addressed as an expert, this bubbly guy ushered me to the washing bay and could not resists updating me throughout the entire shampooing process even though I could not managed to catch most of his words under the running water.

Anyway after styling, I got him to repeat his findings and here is what his said:
“I was initially worried that the lack of silicon in its ingredient could not smoothen entangled hairs and would causes fiction while washing but the result was far better than expected. The shampoo isn’t too soapy yet it lathers up easily. It is very gentle on the scalp and does not weighs down your tresses. It has also helps to tame frizzy ends and revitalize your curls. Though no artificial fragrance is being added, the smell is pretty pleasant. I give it a two thumbs up!”

I totally agree. The shampoo works like a dream and I especially like I could skip the hassle of using a conditioner after shampooing.

YADAH Natural Shampoo uses natural ingredients certified by ECOCERT and is free of paraben, silicon and artificial colorant. A product from Korea, this delicate shampoo is produced with 100% natural surfactant and is suitable for all hair types including those with sensitive scalp.

YADAH Natural Shampoo is available in 250g/bot at SGD$15.90 & 400g/bot at SGD$22.90  from  http://www.yadahskincare.com/

Organix Hair Care

13 Apr

I wash my hair everyday because I dislike that sweaty and sticky feeling after a workout but I seldom buy shampoo and conditioner in family size since I am too lazy to transfer them into smaller bottles for the gym so I am kind of glad that the range of Organix Shampoo and conditioner comes is a handy size of 385ml. They provide sufficient supply for daily use yet they are not too heavy to lug around but of course, this is not the core reason on why I like Organix.

Being more environmentally conscious nowadays, I would always try to walk the talk and opt for brands/products that share the same sentiment and the love of our mother earth. Organix is one that packaged their products in recycled material and labels are printed in environmentally friendly inks with film are made from renewable resources.

And more importantly, Organix hair care products are extremely gentle for the scalp and hair and they are paraben free and sulfate free. While they a wide range of products to target to different hair types, what I am sharing here is their Cherry Blossom Ginseng.

The pleasant scent aside, I like how my hair is feeling nourished, soft and shiny after each wash. The light texture of the shampoo foams well and washes off easily and the conditioner essentially helps to smoothen my hair in an instance and thus reduction friction and hair loss.

Besides cherry blossom extracts and organic Asian ginseng, Cherry Blossom shampoo and conditioner is formulated with other organic ingredients such as rice milk and bamboo extracts that not only helps to rejuvenate the scalp and hair follicles, it adds volume to my fine hair while keeping it nourished and hydrated to maintain its natural glossiness. Not only that, my hair has become more manageable and styling is much easier too.

Our Review:

Clear Woman Ice Cool Menthol
As its name implies, I like that icy-tingling feeling during and after the shampooing. It foams well and unlike other anti-dandruff formula that tends to be strong and causes more irritation to my sensitive scalp, this one is gentle and effective to provide a thorough cleanse for the hair and scalp. The pleasant scent leaves my hair feeling invigorating clean and fresh.
 
After several wash, my slight dandruff problem is well under controlled and there is no more unsightly white snowy flakes falling on my top. 

 

Clear Man Anti Hair Fall
Hubby is currently using Anti Hair Fall shampoo from another brand and gamely took the challenge to try out this for my review. Though it is meant to treat dandruff as well, he is relived to find the shampoo is pretty mild and gentle for his scalp. He likes the foamy formulation so a little would go a long way for his little crown of glory. It would a longer time to see the result of hair fall control but he certainly likes it enough to continue using it.   

 Personally, I am far more than happy toward his switch because with Clear Man Anti Hair Fall, I no longer have to endure him smelling like a bowl of herbal brew whenever he shampoos his hair!

With Clear, say Bye Bye to Dandruff! Bye Bye Dry Scalp! Bye Bye Hair Fall!

“Beauty DIY with Judy 老师” bloggers & Media Event

2 Jul

I first came across Shills while watching the Taiwan女人我最大 (Lady First show) some years ago. At that time Beauty Bistro has not brought the brand into Singapore yet but I managed to find that highly recommended Shills Super Magic BB cream from a blog shop online. I was so crazy over BB cream back then that I have once ordered a dozen of Shills Super Magic BB cream, only to be distributed among the girls since it took a long time to finish a tube.

When I was being to attend the “Beauty DIY with Judy 老师” bloggers & Media event by Louisa, I pounded on the opportunity. Being in the game for more than 20 years and a renowned 女人我最大 celebrity fashion & beauty stylist, Judy Lin not only excel at her craft, she is enviously as gorgeous as any of her celebrity clients and I was looking forward to steal a beauty trick or two from her during the event. 

The event was kick-started off the introduction of Shills slimming range and a live demonstration using SHILLS Miracle-Lift 157% Body Contour Control and ANOSA Fit Patch on two volunteers separately. A look at the lady volunteer, Judy remarked that she should be able to take at least 2cm off her flabby arm after using SHILLS Miracle-Lift 157% Body Contour Control cream! Wow! That pumped up my adrenaline and got me really excited to see the result. After applying the cream and lightly massaged it upward direction towards the heart for the improving of blood circulation, she wrapped the targeted area with a cling wrap to enhance the penetration and allow fat burning.

The result: The volunteer’s arm was shrunk by 2cm. It measured 30 cm in comparison to initial 32cm! That’s incredibly impressive!

Up next was something that I kept on my toes. I simply hate my flat and lifeless hair to the max!

Using the SHILLS Magical Hair Volumizer and SHILLS FLUFFY FIX Maximizing Hair Volume Spray; Judy demonstrated how to turn flat hair into stunning up-dos within minutes. The transformation of the day & nigh hairdo had seemed so effortlessly easy on stage but when I tried to replicate the style myself, it took me endless hours and ended with a mess and a lot of falling hair on the floor thereafter.   

While my clumsy fingers have failed me, the Hair Volumizer & Fluffy Fix Spray did not. In fact, they have since become my most essential companions that help me to fake a full and bountiful head everyday!

More gathered around and many beauties watched with keen interest as Judy proceed to show the audience how to stay pretty with bright and radiant skin that is free of dark spots and pigmentations using SHILLS WHITE Anti-Dark Spot Whitening Serum, SHILLS WHITE EX Whitening and Brightening Cream and SHILLS Whitening Hydra-Foundation 21.

I was amazed by how much the SHILLS Moisturizing & Whitening Cold Gel Mask can increase the skin moisturize level and bring the skin’s temperature down instantly, but it wasn’t on sale that day. Instead, it comes free with the SHILLS WHITE 540° Whitening Anti-Pigmentation Series bundle but since I don’t use whitening stuff,  I never get a chance to experience the goodness of the mask ..what a shame 😦

L’oreal Elseve Smooth-intense Mask

17 Dec

Thank you SgFreeBee for sending me the four packets of L’oreal Elseve Smooth-intense Mask.

While my hair is not rebelliously frizzy, it is extremely dry and rough. It is especially difficult to manage after washing as my hair would all entangled up and I would have to rely on a lot of conditioner to smoothen it. And even then, my hair will frizz the moment I blow dry.

Having use the mask for the first time, I am pleasantly surprised with the result. It leaves a shiny coat and my hair feels deeply nourished and I did not expect that my hair could feel so silky and soft after drying.

It is relatively easy to use too. After shampooing, squeeze out excess water and spread the paste thoroughly onto the hair and rinse off after leaving it on for a minute or two and you are done. No conditioner is required and the nourishing effect lasts throughout the next wash.
