Top reconstructive hair masks

Monday, April 14

Hello!

So, i was thinking whether to do this post or not because every hair is different and also because i have a lot of favorite repairing masks but since all of us are doing a little "spring change" on our locks i thought it was a good idea to do it . also this masks are very good on almost any type of hair (i researched every mask)
so let´s begin


1.Loreal fiberceutic
I already have the review here so i'm not talking much about it. Except that i'll say that i like it better by itself (without the other part of the treatment) on amazon it's about 23 USD


2. Joico k-pak 
In amazin this product is a total steal 6 USD like. This mask is very well known, it leaves the hair really soft and with a lot of body also it works really fast and smells really nice, like bananas , i recommend it for almost any type of hair, it's strong but not that much.

3. Sebastian penetraitt
This product is really good too but don't leave it in your hair for more that the suggested time or it will leave the hair really hard!? Because it is for more damaged hair 13.48 USD on amazon

4.Schwarzkopf bonacure repair rescue
Last but not least , one of my favorites it is recommended for damaged hair too like the one listed above but this mask doesn't leave the hair hard that fast. It is a little expensive 25 USD more or less but totally worth it.

And just for you guys to know all of this masks are really strong ( not just this ones , all of the reconstructive masks, a lot of protein in the hair is bad for it) so i recommend you to use them twice a month as much, specially the ones that i said were stronger

I hope this helped you out also this are the masks that i use for my capillary cronogram ( i'll do the second part of that post soon,i promise)

Review: Macadamia natural oil mask dupe

Monday, March 31











Yesterday i was checking pinterest and i saw a lot of pins talking about dupes for the macadamia natural oil mask (which is awesome!) there were a lot of different masks but the most popular dupe was the organix one so i decided to see if thats true since i already had that mask waiting to be opened , let´s see if it is a true dupe or not.


Ok let´s start by the smell each mask have a different smells the organix one is not the same as the macadamia but both of them are pleasant, talking about the texture the macadamia one is a bit thicker.

About the waiting time the macadamia one says to allow up to 7 minutes and the organix for 3 to 5 or 20 if your hair is really dry after that time when you are washing out the mask  the macadamia made my hair feel really soft , the organix one not so much.

The price, oh the beloved price! 
well at ULTA the macadamia natural oil mask is 33 USD for the 8.5 oz pot and the organix one with 8oz for 7.99 USD, what a difference, right?

But let´s talk about the really important thing , the results.

The macadamia mask leaves my hair like no other mask, i mean it i haven´t tried one that leaves my hair so soft not even kerastase masks.
The organix mask leaves my hair shiny ,healthy  and thick (which i love because my hair is really thin) but not like the macadamia one, i think they are NOT actual dupes but if you don´t want to splurge on the macadamia mask the organix one is perfect for you! for being a drugstore mask i think it is really good and competes with some higher end masks

i recommend you this mask if you want a cheaper alternative for the macadamia natural oil mask but i restate the macadamia oil by organix is not a dupe for the macadamia natural oil, it is just a good alternative.

So this is my opinion , do you think the same about this dupes?

Myth or miracle #2: Crece pelo boe

Sunday, March 30

Hello!

Today i´m gonna do my second myth or miracle and this one is about a pretty well raved product from dominican republic, crece pelo by boe 





I started using this product two months ago because i saw really good results on the internet specially one from the brazilian blogger duda fernandes.

i started by measuring my hair before anything, like i always do, then i kept using it washing my hair 4 times a week with the shampoo and the mask.

first time using it (shampoo and mask)  i noticed my hair kind of poofy not frizzy just "poofy" but i kept using it , then after a month i started to see my hair really dry but really really dry with ends like this 

I kid you not! this is a microscopic view but all the ends of my hair looked like that and no, i 
don´t use heat on my hair and i haven´t been color treating my hair for a while so i  said to my self:  
ok i´m gonna finish the two months to see the results , today i measured my hair and my hair is 1cm SHORTER! than it was before, i mean ?!! i heard that this product really dries your hair but also i heard that it was supposed to make it grow longer not shorter!

This is shocking to me because on the blog that i told you earlier the girl shows a really beautiful long shiny hair, i know her hair was already that shiny and pretty  without the crece pelo but in the photos of her review you can see all the growth that she got! and she even says that it works like a charm!

On other reviews the girls say that it have worked BUT i can´t see any particular growth. anyway i guess every hair is different right?

For me it didn´t worked and i still have half a bottle of shampoo and almost all the mask because i got the bigger one and a little goes a long way so i think i´m gonna give it to a friend for her to try out so i can review this product with other type of hair.

I personally would not recommend it but if you want to give it a try you sure can!

Have you tried it? let me know

Review and step by step Loreal fiberceutic (Hair Botox)

Saturday, March 22







Hi guys!

Today i´m gonna do a review of one of my favorite products, this is a reconstructing treatment that i like a lot  (it´s NOT  for using it on the capillary cronogram because it is really strong)  but i recommend it  just for people with really damaged hair.

Let´s see what the brand says:




















First i´m gonna tell you the step by step and then i´ll go with the review.

1.wash your hair with loreal absolut repair or loreal force vector , for best results ( If you 
don´t  have them you can use whatever you have)
2.towel dry your hair and apply the hair filling serum with the plastic syringe that comes with the product piece by piece
3.wait 5 minutes and don´t wash
4.apply the mask that you chose for your type of hair (fine or thick)
5.wait 5 more minutes
6.wash

This treatment lasts for about 10 washes and you are supposed to use it every 3 months.

Now let´s start the review, well i already said that i really like it but let me tell you why, my hair feels very strong and thick, with a lot of body and this product is perfect for you if you feel that your hair is weak, it strenghtens it like magic! and besides it is really fast to apply.

Capillary cronogram (cronograma capilar) part 1

Friday, February 28



Hi guys!
Since i decided to start the rapunzel project i have to do it on the best way possible so today i´m gonna write about something that i really like for taking care of my hair, i discovered this last year because of a cousin of mine that lives in Brazil, The capillary cronogram is very famous around the brazilian girls and now i know why, let´s start.

It is a cronogram that you are supposed to do 3 times a week by using a hair mask that contains moisturizing, nourishing and repairing ingredients,no matter how many times a week you wash your hair.

For this you need to know which ingredients belong to each phase

Moisture:
All hair masks that contains plants, sugar,chocolate etc
Nourish:
any type of oils
Repair:
any type of protein 

Well in this case the first found ingredient  on the label is the most concentrated  ( this apply in every product) so by that you can know what is your type of mask, for example let´s talk about the really famous Macadamia deep repair masque , 
                                                                     

                                                                          

The first 9 ingredients are one of the most   commons on hair masks so  don´t mind them right know but right after that it haves  macadamia seed oil and other oil that  means  that this mask is actually a Nourishing one and not a repairing  like the  product says on the front.

On the next post i´ll explain this a little more but let´s move on to the cronogram, this is the original one, if it is your first time doing i recommend you to start with this one


But after some time i started noticing what my hair actually needs and this is the cronogram that i follow, i saw it on a brazilian blog "http://prettypoison.com.br" and i decided to try it and it works really well on my hair


well girls for not making this post longer than how it already is i decided to divided in two, on the next post i´ll explain a little more about how to identify the ingredients on each mask and the effect that each phase leaves on the hair.



Oro fluido review

Tuesday, January 28

I decided to  try this product because of the really big hype with the brazilian girls so i went to my local salon and bought it.

The smell of it reminds me of argan oil but with a touch of vanilla and the texture is a bit floppy with  some really tiny glitters on it that stayed on my hair for a few hours ( just if you look close)




Now lets talk about the effectiveness of the product ,

What the brand say:
A beauty ritual for all hair types. Three organic natural oils in an exquisite mixture with a pleasant, silky texture.

What i think:
The moment i applied to my hair it got really soft and knot free , and a little goes a long way , the final result 
didn´t  surprised me , my hair got smoother but that was it so the question is would i buy it again? No, the packaging it´s really cute it haves a nice smell and all that pretty merchandising stuff but i didn´t notice any awesome result and for the price ( about $20) i´d rather buy a drugstore product.

On the plus side because i didn´t saw any special result i gave it to a friend with really thing hair ( that baby thin hair) and her hair looked quite nice , with a lot of shine. 

So i wouldn´t recommend it for people with medium to thick hair , just for thin hair.

Hope you liked the review !
