REVIEW: Matrix Cool Therapy di Go-Glam

Halo semuanya! Sebagai pengguna setia layanan ojek sebagai transportasi kerja tentunya rambutku jadi lebih gampang lepek dan berminyak. Bukan cuma mengganggu penampilan dan kenyamanan, akhir-akhir ini aku merasa rambut rontok lebih banyak... Hmmmm... Cuma ya, karena banyak kerjaan dan sibuk mencari nafkah (wew) aku belum sempat mampir ke salon. Boro-boro ke salon, mandi aja yang penting bersih, jadi ga pake perawatan apa pun buat rambut.

Pas banget kemarin aku ditawarin buat coba Matrix Cool Therapy/ Hijab Hair Care dari Clozette Indonesia dan Matrix. Terlebih lagi aku ga perlu ke salon, karena treatment ini juga tersedia di aplikasi Go-Life pada service Go-Glam.

REVIEW: HAIR CUT AT IRWANTEAM PIK AVENUE

Finally! Hair cut post since my hair literally screamed out for help since few months ago. So I've been damaging my hair so much since last year, from coloring, perming, to recoloring.. And since perming bring the worst damage, I fight with a lot of split ends and major hair loss 😫😫😫

And I got a chance to get my hair cut at IRWAN TEAM PIK Avenue thanks to Clozette Indonesia. Read to see my transformation!

Coloring My Hair with Hoyu Bigen Speedy Color no. 6

As you can see in my previous post about my experience with Japanese perm, my hair look so damaged. So last month, in early December 2015, I decided to color my hair; darker.

When I went to Japan last year, I bought so many hair color products and I decided to give this Hoyu Bigen Speedy Color a try.

My Hair Experience: Japanese Perm

I've always wanted to have a curly hair. Actually my natural hair is wavy, but I always want to have more waves. This might be due to my mom, LOL. My mom said I will look better if I have curly hair. And I kinda agree with her. And last November, I finally did my hair with Japanese perm!

Beautylabo Hair Color Pure Beige

It's another hair coloring experience everyone! The difference is now, that I am doing it by my own! It's not my first time though, to dye my hair by myself. But, this might be my first time blogging about it.

I just got mine from Beautylabo. Yes, finally Beautylabo is here in Indonesia. Unfortunately, it's not the Japanese one, this Beautylabo is Thai products. Yes, I am a big fan of Beautylabo (the one that is marketed in Japan) and this is my first time with Beautylabo (which is marketed in Thailand).

Let's see how it goes!

Kracie ICHIKAMI

Do you know that everybody has average of 100,000 hair strands?

And do you know that 80% of our hair contains protein?

Hair contains protein which comes from amino acid. Hair damage is caused by coloring, curling, and heating by using hair dryer which leads to the exfoliation of hair coat. I bet most of us have experience with flaky and split ends, that's the outer result from lack of protein in hair.

Even if you haven't done any chemical process to your hair, chance to get hair damage is still high. Here are some of factors contributing to hair damage:

Our Daily Activities:

1. Heat from Hair Dryer
2. Friction from Rubbing Your Hair when Washing
3. Friction from Combing Your Hair
4. Friction from Sleeping

Environment:

1. Use of air-conditioner
2. UV rays
3. Climate change

So, it's essential for us to take care of our hair with hair care which can nourish our hair with protein. And I am currently using ICHIKAMI hair series from Kracie.

Makarizo Texture Experience in Salon Kirei Surabaya

LOL. I quickly said yes for sure.

My Latest Hair Makeover with Makarizo Concept Ultimax

Hello beauties! A few weeks ago, I had hair makeover with Makarizo Concept Ultimax.

As you know, previously I had my hair done by them a year ago (READ HERE).

Now, after a few times of recoloring, I decided to recolor my hair with Makarizo Concept Ultimax.

Experiencing MATRIX Sensoria: Totok Creambath Aromatherapy

Muthia; PR of L'Oreal Professionnal Products - MATRIX Education Manager - dr. Irzan Nurman; Acupuncturist

Yesterday, I attended an event held by MATRIX Indonesia at L'Oreal Academie. Yes, MATRIX is under L'Oreal, ladies. Just to inform you a bit, L'Oreal Indonesia has Professionnal Product Division, and MATRIX, together with KERASTASE and L'Oreal Professionnel are under that.

If KERASTASE is a premium brand, and L'Oreal Professionnel is more famous of its coloration products, MATRIX is a professional product for middle to low segmentation. In other words, it's affordable. *happy*

But don't be worried, though it's affordable, MATRIX is always keeping up with the latest technology to improve its product and compete closely with other brands in order to win customers' heart.

And me along with other beauty bloggers had chance to experience the new treatment by MATRIX.

The new service is called Totok Creambath Aromatherapy.

Japan Softlens | Jual Softlens Warna Nyaman Asli Jepang♡

So if you're Indonesian, I bet you'd be familiar with this term. It's actually a form of hair spa in general. So, what makes it different with any other creambath then?

Unlike any other Creambath service, Totok Creambath Aromatherapy offers customers to enjoy and experience the treatment combined with Acupuncture (that's why it is called Totok). Most of the creambath treatment massage only relies on the strength of the therapist, without acknowledging the science of nerves on our head. With this latest innovation, MATRIX works together with dr. Irzan Nurman; an acupuncturist. Not only with acupuncture, MATRIX Sensoria contains aromatherapy with Chocolate, Apricot, and Mint aroma to treat the customers. With this collaboration, MATRIX hopes to improve the creambath service, as well as benefiting both salons and customers.

Ultra Rich - with apricot oil and wheat
Rich in protein to give more nutrition to your hair. Feel softer and smoother hair after using this, not to forget its nice fruity scent.
Chocolate Fudge Spa Creambath - with cocoa extract
Enriched with cocoa extract, this product will boos your hair nutrition and is recommended for those who color their hair brown.
Fresh Mint Creambath - with mint extract
It will balance your oily scalp and also gives freshness to your whole hair and scalp.

Now, let's take a look at my experience there!

MK3 Color Revive Hot Ice Tutorial (VIDEO)

Hello all, I'm back with the tutorial of using Makarizo MK3 Color Revive Hot Ice Mineral Oil! Last time, I gave you the preview of Hot Ice, including ingredients and the ampule itself! So now, I created a tutorial video of how to use this incredible hair oil!

Check it out below!

MK3 Hot Ice Preview

Hello everyone, as you know I recently had my hair recolored. Uhm, so far I have colored my hair more than three times this year. And well, if you wonder whether my hair is damaged or not, of course I will say yes it is. Yep, one of the prices that I should pay for different color if hair is damaged hair. Colored hair needs extra care to prevent hair to be extremely damaged. So, now I spend more time taking care of my hair with the application of mask, serum, oil, leave-on treatment, etc. And recently I just learn that Makarizo is launching its latest product; MK3 Hot Ice.

What is exactly Hot Ice? Sounds really interesting right?

Hot Ice is a special treatment for color-treated hair. With mineral oil, magic serum Hot Ice will soon fix the hair shaft is brittle and has undergone coloring process. It also increases the intensity of hair color , making hair that has been dyed to make more healthy, soft and shiny.

It contains:

Castor Oil

Castor oil is a vegetable oil obtained from castor beans (technically castor seed ) which has an unusual structure and many uses . It is obtained by pressing the seeds of castor oil plant; Ricinus communis ( Euphorbiaceae). Castor oil works to repair damaged and broken hair due to chemical processes and also giving relaxation to the hair strands. 

Linseed Oil

Linseed oil is yellowish-color oil obtained from the dried ripe seeds of the flax plant. Oil is obtained by pressing, sometimes followed by solvent extraction. Due to high levels of α - linolenic acid ( a special form of omega - 3 fatty acid ) , used as a nutritional supplement and revive Maintaining health and natural luster of hair, download restructuring cortex and smoothing the hair cuticle.

And what’s unique from this product is how to prepare the application! It is suggested that we store Hot Ice in refrigerator / freezer (maximum 2 minutes ) before use to maximize the quality of mineral oil Hot Ice.

Stay tuned for my next post about how to apply and how it feels on my colored hair.

t1 Intensive Leave-on Serum

Last time, I already reviewed t1 Intensive Equalizer Shampoo and Conditioner, now it's time for t1 Intensive Equalizer Leave-on Serum.

As I aforementioned, my hair is colored and though it's revived, there will be still a slight chance of being damaged again. Nah, in taking care of colored hair, it's not enough with just shampoo and conditioner. We need something with vitamin essence which can help our hair recover and become healthier.

The problem is...

I'm far too busy and lazy to do that. With my activities and works ahead, I find it hard to keep up with the meticulous hair care such as hair mask, hair spa, or any other treatment, both home and salon treatments.

Luckily I found this Leave-on serum from t1!

So what's the benefits?

This leave-on serum contains hydrolized botanical milk which can:

1. Help taking care of damaged hair
2. Bring back our hair elasticity which is damaged and dried after the chemical process
3. Smoothen hair so that it will be easier to be combed

This leave-on serum is packed with Structura Repair Complex technology which protects and fixes hair strands, smoothen and ease up hair-combing process.

I use this product on both damp and usual hair. It has flowery scent which is a bit relaxing yet refreshing at the same time.

I love that it comes in spray packaging, make it easier for me to use this leave-on serum anytime, anywhere.

And yes, the leave-on thingy is also perfect for busy and lazy girl like me. No need to rinse! xD

Thank you t1 Techno Nature!

TRESemme Keratin Smooth Exclusive Experience with Beauty Bloggers

Hello everyone! On Wednesday August 28th, I was lucky to attended TRESemme Exclusive Experience. Thank you so much Fashionese Daily, for inviting me to this great event.

So the event started in Anna Wijaya Salon, for us, bloggers, to enjoy the Keratin Treatment using TRESemme Keratin Smooth series. 

Soon after the registration, I was escorted to have my hair to be properly washed and contioned using TRESemme Keratin Smooth series.

this is actually Carnellin :p

As you know, I dyed my hair several times before, and one of those hair coloring process involved the bleaching process. In my previous post here, I explained that my hair ends are completely dead inside. T__T I guess I need to cut my hair short as soon as possible... But, after experiencing the Keratin Treatment using TRESemme Keratin Smooth series including shampoo and conditioner, I feel that my hair was being refreshed and felt smoother than before.

The treatment started with the Keratin Infusing Shampoo then Keratin Infusing Conditioner on the hair ends (don't forget, no conditioner on your scalp!!). After that I was escorted to the hair station. As soon as I was seated, I got my hair sprayed with the Keratin Smooth Heat Protection Shine Spray while the hair is still damp. I love the Heat Protection Shine spray so much! It does wonder to my dull, no-life, damaged hair. ^_^

And there goes the hair styling, blow and dry, of course my hair was set using TRESemme Extra Hold Hairspray. The hair spray has such a nice scent which I love since I always feel dizzy whenever I have to wear hair spray before (too strong smell).

Not to forget that while having my hair done, I also got my nails treatened and polished. ^^

So the treatment and pamper were done, we're get ready to Kempinski for dinner.... with Alphard! Woohoo, feels like a celebrity, yes? The event is really exclusive just like the name.

Arrived in Pre Function Heritage Room, Hotel Kempinski, we were greeted with the dominance of Red color everywhere, including roses. After entering the entrance, there was a photo booth to pose just like on a red carpet, don't you feel like a star?

Also along the way to the dinner table, there were a lot of TRESemme products being displayed, I was tempted ^o^

Okay, so the dinner starts, while having such a really nice dinner we were enriched with the hair and beauty knowledge right from the hair expert himself; Mr. Chandra Gupta. He talked a lot about the hair knowledge like how we should never put our conditioner on our scalp and stick on our hair ends only. Also, the product knowledge of TRESemme Keratin Smooth series which will make our hair become smoother and tamed. No more flyaways and dry ends!

I learned that beside hair loss and oily scalp, women in Indonesia are also experiencing another problem, which is unruly hair. Why this matters? As Mr. Chandra Gupta stated, healthy and beautiful hair is hair which is smooth and manageable. This keratin treatment is quintessential for building healthy and beautiful hair. And please note that this Keratin Treatment is applicable only for hair, not scalp.

I also learned that environment, including air-conditioned air also contributes to the hair damage. Whoa, since I'm an office lady, I should also take care more of my hair since I spend most of my time in the office.

What's so special about Keratin Smooth series compared to any other hair treatments are this Keratin Smooth contains less detergent and surfactant, making our hair face less risk of being more damaged.

There was also a live tweet competition where there is one winner who got sophisticated gadget from TRESemme! I was not lucky enough though.. :p

Thank you Fashionese Daily and TRESemme Indonesia for inviting to such a very nice and unforgettable event! ^_^

I've heard a lot of Keratin treatment in many hair salons, but TRESemme has became the pioneer in introducing this Keratin treatment in home hair care products in Indonesia, making it easier for the style seekers to have salon-finish hair by their own hand, at home!

This Keratin Smooth series will be available soon in many hypermarket, supermarket, and convenience store so please wait for it! And more good news is this Keratin treatment by TRESemme will also be available soon in November 2013 at 100 hair salon in Indonesia.

IRWAN TEAM HAIR DESIGN Coloring Service

A few weeks ago I have a coloring service from Irwan Team Hair Design. I was lucky to experience the whole hair service offered by them. But the main highlight is the coloring service using INOA.

Let's see the before pics. Here are them~

front shot

As you can see my hair is naturally wavy and a bit thick (though it become thinner after I suffered from typhoid recently). For the color, I still have my last ombre color on my lower hair part.

back shot

And ends are very, very dry. I was hopeless with this condition to the point that I wanted to cut my hair short because it keeps falling and my hair just got thinner and crappier day by day.

And I was luckily escorted by Mba Shendy, one of IRWAN TEAM hair stylist. She checked my hair first and did the color choice after brief consultation with me. We ended up choosing light brownish shade for the whole hair.

Makarizo t1 Intensive Equalizer Shampoo and Conditioner

Hello!

This time I'd like to review a hair product from Makarizo t1 Techno Nature; it's t1 Intensive Equalizer line.

And first, I will review the shampoo and conditioner. So what is exactly t1 Intensive Equalizer? It's exclusively introduced for chemically-treated hair (coloring, curl, and rebonding process).

Experiencing Sweet Chocolate at Johnny Andrean

Weeks ago,  I attended Johnny Andrean's event along with other beauty bloggers. Thanks to Mba Shinta, I can say I enjoyed the time being pampered there!

What is Sweet Chocolate anyway?

Sweet Chocolate is a new campaign by   Johnny Andrean  salon. Actually, they have already launched a similar campaign back then. But, since the customers feedback was so good and even demand for another one, then Johnny Andrean upgrade it and launched the improved formula for Sweet Chocolate.

They divide the event into 2 schedule, morning and afternoon. But all of the bloggers will gather together during lunch. I chose afternoon by the way.

So, we had our lunch together at Palalada restaurant.

And here's the main course that day. I am not really impressed, but hey, it's not beauty-related so ignore! LOL.

Then, we're escorted to Johnny Andrean salon to get the treatment. We were able to choose between treatment or coloring. Since I have to go back fast, I chose treatment (though I want to recolor my hair *sad*).

Surprisingly, JA has special treatment room for  Matrix. The place is really cozy with touch of green.
