Sulfate-free / Salt-free Ahglow Shampoo and Conditioner

Hi guys and sorry for being gone for too long. I've been busy with lots of things and have some pending reviews coming up on my blog.

So here it is! let me show you a new hair care product specially made for dry, colored, damaged and chemically treated hair. If you have read my old blog posts, you'll remember that I have been doing a lot of hair shows that includes coloring, treatments, styling that uses a lot of products and hot tools like hair irons,curlers and blowers. Since high school, I have been having x-tenso or hair straightening treatments and coloring too. It's hard to maintain a healthy looking hair while doing all of that so for the past years and since I have been having Brazilian/Keratin Blowout treatments. But first, let me give you a brief information on what sulfate is and what benefits you can get in using sulfate-free products.

What are Sulfates? 
Sulfates are detergents that cleanse the dirt and oils of the hair. They cleanse the hair so well that they might strip down all the dirt, grime even the natural oil of your hair. Try checking the ingredients list of most regular shampoo and conditioners, you'll see the most common sulfates in the ingredients list are ammonium lauryl sulfate a.k.a ASL and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate a.k.a SLS.


There are several benefits of using salt-free/ sulfate -free shampoo and conditioner. 

Keeps the Natural Oil of your Hair
The natural oil of your hair will help and keep your hair healthy and keep it from becoming weak or brittle, damaged and dry.

Scalp Protection
It helps to reduce irritation and inflammation within in the scalp. Some people who are sensitive and who undergo hair coloring, straightening, treatments and others experience some hot, prickly or stingy feeling on their scalp while soaking their hair in the treatments or product. Their are hair color products and other treatment available that has are sulfate-free or amonia free, so ask your stylist if they have products that are amonia-free and sulfate-free or organic.

Retains and lengthens the your hair color
Ever notice that your hair color easily fades after how many washes when using sulfate-harboring shampoos? Because sulfate strips out oils and pigmentation from your hair while sulfate-free shampoo doesn't.

Increases your hairs moisture retention
Our hair has its natural moisture and oils. Thus, by using hair products containing sulfate will strip those natural oils out of your hair that will cause the hair to become dry, brittle, frizzy and unmanageable.

Prevents from absorbing harmful chemicals
Using sulfate-free hair products helps prevent our scalp from absorbing harmful chemicals. Those with sensitive scalps will really benefit from this product.


Well, I recently got to try out this Ahglow Professional Salt-free / Sulfate Free Keratin Shampoo and Conditioner.

Recently, I have been busy with events and I have no time to do both shampoo and conditioner, so I just use shampoo sometimes. What I notice about the shampoo is that, it gives off a good amount of bubbles for a sulfate and salt free shampoo. It feels like my hair is really clean when I used it. It doesn't make my hair feel dry. Another thing that I noticed when using the product is, my hair takes a long time to air dry when I only use the shampoo alone. I don't know why but when I use them both together my hair dries up easily and soft.

Here is a sample snapshot of the shampoo and conditioner packaging. The packaging is simple but the effects and feel on my hair is good.


At the back of the bottle is the product description, the ingredients list and direction on how to use the product.

As you can see, the shampoo really is bubbly like other regular shampoos.



I tried to just let my hair air dry like the usual on regular or lazy days and you can see that it does make my hair look straight and not wavy. Sorry for the flyaway hair since I have very much layered hair before and still making it grow now. :) Will update the photos of my hair again. 



I also let my mom try out the shampoo and conditioner and she loves it. She has very thin hair but when she used the shampoo, her hair had some volume and doesn't make her hair down and flat that you can her scalp. She's even asking me where she could buy those shampoo and conditioner. :)

iCure Permanent Blowdry or Brazilian Blowout Treatment for damage frizzy hair

Ever wonder how to tame and treat your dry, damage, colored and frizzy hair from all those coloring, rebonding, perming and styling? Are you the wash and wear kind of type? Do you want your unruly and unmanageable hair to be healthier and shinier? Let me share it to you and read until the end to know more about it.

For a brief description about my hair, I was always doing hair shows every now and then for different brands whenever they have a new hair color, style or hair care product launch. My hair was bleached so many times, lots of chemicals were applied on my hair just to achieve the color and style the stylist wants for the show and styled my hair so many times for all events. So with all those damage done to my hair, I have to maintain and treat my hair once in a while to make them healthier.

Here's a photo of my hair before having my treatment. I let my hair color that way and just refrain from coloring my hair much for quite some time.



Pre-Treatment
First they wash your hair with their shampoo and conditioner twice for a really clean locks and blow dried it to prepare for the application.




The Process:
After washing or deep cleansing the hair and blow drying it, the stylist then began sectioning my hair into four parts and applying the iCure Kerating Smoothing Treatment unto my hair. After application of the treatments unto my hair, they wrapped it with a plastic like shower cap for almost an hour to let it sit in my hair.


After letting it sit on my hair for almost an hour they started blow drying my hair and letting it dry a bit. Some of these permanent or brazilian blowdry may sting a bit on your eyes so ask your stylist if it does and just close your eyes during this process. It's like your chopping some onions in your kitchen!



When the hair is dry already, they can now start ironing my hair to lock in the keratin smoothing treatment unto my hair.


And here it is! Bye frizzy, unruly and damaged hair! Didn't get to change or fix the color of my hair because i have another appointment after my hair treatment. Will change it after 2 weeks when its allowed already.


Post-Treatment
How to take care of your treated hair:

  1. After the whole process of applying the treatment and blow drying and ironing, you can't wash your hair for 3 days. 
  2. No washing, styling, pony tails, bobby pins or even pulling your hair back to your ears so it won't ruin the keratin seal on your locks.
  3. You have to buy and use the iCure After Treatment Shampoo and Conditioner to maintain and make the treatment last long. This treatment is good for 3-5 months and still depends on how you take care and maintain your hair.
