My hair is one of the many parts of my body that I truly
care about. It’s my crowning glory and I know it’s one of the reasons why women
are beautiful. I naturally have a wavy hair and its color is sort of copper
brown, especially under the sunlight. I wasn’t blessed with thick, healthy, pin
straight hair and it’s not a secret that I like having it straight-before (I’m currently
growing out my curls).
My hair needs an extra TLC since it has undergone two Rebonding sessions already, though my natural curls were growing out up to my
chin, the tips of my locks has become really dry and frizzy. I know I have to
do something about it aside from shampoo and conditioner.
Matrix Essentials Sensoria Care Conditioning Cream Bath with
Apricot
I finished the whole tub already and my mom threw it away so
I didn’t get the chance to take a pic of it. Pic courtesy of Google.
While I was having my mani and pedi at the spa, the owner
asked if I want to get my hair done, she assessed the thickness and length of
my hair and told me it will cost around 400 pesos. I thought, why not? But I
asked them first what product they are going to use since I’m very particular
of what I put in my hair. They said it’s Matrix Sensoria Care. I’ve seen this
product a lot in other salons as well and read good reviews about it. I don’t
have enough cash with me that day since the spa was only across to our village
and I didn’t bother bringing much cash with me. When I went home, I totally
forgot about it lol!
When I’m at my mom’s place at Cavite, I went to the local
mall and visited HBC. They were on sale so I immediately grab one, paid, and
left.
I used it as a heavy conditioner and I covered my hair with
a shower cap for around 20 mins. I like the scent and the consistency of the
product. It’s more like a conditioner-consistency than a treatment/creamy one. I
also like the fact that I didn’t suffer any hair loss. I know it’s a bad
product when my hair is going crazy with hair fall (hello, The Body Shop Banana
Shampoo!).
My hair feels soft and silky even the next day. It doesn’t
feel greasy at all like some conditioner does to my hair. It doesn’t do much if
you’re targeting for a shinier hair, but it will make your hair more manageable
without looking flat. I love this product so much that I finished the whole tub
already since I’m also using it as a conditioner too. I’m going to try the
Apricot with Grape Fruit extract variant soon!
Quality: This product is more superior if used as a
treatment. It would be a waste to use it as conditioner since using this twice
a week is already good enough J
I don’t like the packaging though. We all know it’s unhygienic to double dip in
a tub.
Price: I got this for 220pesos, 500ml tub.
Will I purchase again? Of course! I think this is my HG hair
treatment for now.
Lorys Hair Cream in Fruit Cocktail
I’ve been reading
blogs and watching videos of local bloggers and I was surprised to see this
product came to beauty blogger’s attention. I’ve been eyeing this product a lot
whenever I go to Watson’s but being the OC that I am when it comes to my hair, I’m a
bit wary of using the product since I can’t see any good reviews yet. But when
I saw this product spread like a plague on blogs, I was like, okay I need to
try those lol!
5 variants.
“Lorys
Hair Cream is a product that is made in Brazil. It is an internationally
recognized brand available in countries such as USA, UK, Venezuela, Puerto
Rico, and many more. Just recently Lorys has entered into the Philippines.
Lorys
is made from all natural ingredients, which gives your hair a natural glow. It
can be used as a conditioner or as a hot oil treatment. It is very simple to
use even at the comfort of your own home. Lorys enhances the growth and density
of your hair and restores its natural shine and softness.”
-From
their FB account.
Lorys Hair Cream comes in several variants: Fruit Cocktail, Nutri-Sun Gloss, Duo
Chocolate, Shea Butter, and Snake Oil effect. I picked
out the Fruit Cocktail variant since it was the most popular among the
bloggers. I’m also eyeing the Duo Chocolate and the Snake Oil effect but I
chose this one instead. It’s available at 1000g and 450g jars (huge huh!)
Fruit Cocktail
I’m using the product as my daily conditioner for about 3
weeks now and I think it’s already enough to give a review. Btw, you can use it
as a conditioner or a treatment depends on how long you want it to sit on your
hair ;)
See the yellow and pink goodie inside?
Quality: For me, it’s
more like a conditioner than a treatment. It doesn’t really make a difference as a treatment like what Matrix Sensoria did. My hair becomes oily if I didn’t
washed it the next day L
(FYI there are days that I don’t wash my hair coz it’s healthier for my locks) but it is a very good hair conditioner. You need to use this product regularly to achieve good results.
Price: Dirt cheap for 185 pesos for a 450g jar &
Php349.75 for 1000grams (1kg)! It will last you months for sure.
Will I purchase again? Yeah sure to try the chocolate one as my
conditioner. For treatment, I’ll stick to Matrix Sensoria.
It’s a long post but I hope it helped. Have a good day!
