Hair Rebonding with Ahglow Professionel Hairstrait Rebonding Cream Set Review

Today I’ve decided to have my hair rebonded. I got this  Ahglów Professionnel Hairstrait Rebonding Cream Set from my mom, she sells basically everything related to hair care 😅

I have tried lots of Hair Rebonding brands, from Verdon Series (both in Ginger and Milk Formula), to Matrix and Bremod.I have been patronizing hair rebond since I was in 3rd year college, so any Hair rebonding products don’t scare me anymore. Hahaha!

This box contains (1) 300g Hairstrait Straightening Cream and (1) 300g Hairstrait Neutralizer Cream

Ahglow Hairstrait Straightening Cream (Step 1) 

-this softens and breaks the disulfide bonds of the hair to allow reconfiguration into a straight shape.

Ahglow Hairstrait Neutralizer Cream (Step 2)

-rebonds or reconnects the bonds and stabilizes and maintains the straightened shape of the hair.

PREPARATIONS FOR THE REBONDING PROCESS

Before you start, make sure you are fully equipped: the Hairstrait Rebonding products, two ceramic flat irons, accessories like gloves, bowl, tinting brush with comb, wide-toothed comb, and hair clips.

HOT IRON PRESSING

Thermal or heat application  is a very important part of the system, it is done by ironing or hot iron pressing at 140*C – 180*C. The ironing really renders the hair almost 100% straight and at the same time seals in the conditioning treatment into the hair. The final result is beautiful, soft, shiny, straight hair.

AMOUNT OF CREAM TO USE
Use an adequate amount of the Straightening Cream and the Neutralizer Cream. Here’s a guide on the amount of cream to use depending on the length, texture and thickness of the hair.

1. Short Hair (chin, neck or nape-length) – approx. 100g
2. Medium-Length (shoulder-length)        – approx. 200g
3. Long Hair (underarm length & below)    – approx. 300g

Use your discretion or better judgment as to the amount of cream to apply. However, IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO USE MORE! not less, in order to assure good straightening and rebonding results.

The instructions on how to do hair rebonding is provided here:

or you could just leave it to the hair expert. As for me, I hired a freelancer hair expert aka home service parlor person? 😂😂 ’cause I’m thrifty like that 😎
Anyways, here are some before, during and after pictures of my hair.

All in all, I would rate Ahglow Professionel Hairstrait rebonding 4/5..

✔️ tolerable smell

✔️ makes hair straight, soft and shiny

✔️ 1-1 1/2 hour developing time for frizzy and wavy hair like mine

✔️ uses just Step 1 and 2 to achieve a straight hair

Unboxing My Althea Korea Beauty Box

Hey there! Recently, I’ve purchased some items in an online shop, a supposed birthday gift for myself but apparently it came late because I had to change the address of its shipment because I’m still in the province for summer vacation.Nonetheless, it came after 12-13 working days I think?! I’m from Mindanao by the way, so that must be the reason it came late and also because of the holidays (May 1 and 5). Going back, here’s a review of my first purchase at Althea Korea. As most of you have noticed, Althea Korea is all over the internet right? You can see it advertised on Facebook and many other sites. So, what is Althea Korea? It is a Korean beauty shopping site for skincare & beauty needs.They are now available in the Philippines thru their website http://ph.althea.kr/ . Yey to that! I’m so happy I’m screaming on the inside. HEHEHE

They offer the trendiest and hard-to-find products from internationally well known Korean brands like Laneige, Innisfree, Tony Moly, Skinfood, Clio, 3CE, Nature Republic, Etude House, and Banila Co, they also offer items from little-known brands like Piolang, B&Soap, and W-Lab that you should definitely add on your next haul.

What does this new shopping site promises?

Their products are 100% authentic and ships directly from Seoul, South Korea.Althea offers free shipping on orders over Php1,500 and a 30-Day unconditional returns and refund.

Here are the items I got:

• INNISFREE Jeju Volcanic Pore Foam
• LANEIGE BB Cushion SPF50+ PA+++ (No. 23 Sand Beige)
• NATURE REPUBLIC Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel
• TONY MOLY New Delight Tony Tint (Cherry Pink)
• MISSHA Under Eye Brightener
• AROMATICA Rose Absolute First Serum (Althea giveaway)

INNISFREE Jeju Volcanic Pore Cleansing Foam

It’s a very cream-like cleanser but foams up once you lather it. You just need a small amount of it and apply directly on the face.It’s a very gentle kind of cleansing foam, and therefore does not exfoliate.

My face looks brighter and certainly feels a lot fresher after using this, and I love the smell which is a bonus.  This is definitely a cleanser I would buy again!

 

LANEIGE BB Cushion SPF50+ PA+++ (No. 23 Sand Beige)

This is such an amazing product! 100 points for this one because it gives good coverage and gives the skin a dewy and glowy finish. SPF 50 is another reason I cannot miss it plus it is quick and convenient make up in the hectic morning. You need not apply a primer or a base make-up anymore.

And one more thing, it has a 15g refill, so you don’t need to worry if you ran out of it. I would totally buy this again.

NATURE REPUBLIC Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel

It has a generous tub of 300ml which can last me months because a little goes a long way. It can be used as a whole body moisturizer, face mask, eye mask, treat superficial burn by the oven or sunburn and there are so many different ways you can use it.

I used this as a base make-up before putting the Laneige BB Cushion. It feels great on my face.

TONY MOLY New Delight Tony Tint (Cherry Pink)

I was pretty excited to try out this tint, Tony Moly is a brand I have been very curious about. It is a good tint, very watery, it is good if you want lollipop kissed lips or that  very famous Korean gradient lips. You can also layer it and get a darker red, but I noticed the tint will fade faster this way.In my case it doesn’t last all day, but I can get about 6 hours before I have to reapply, personally I like it this way because it won’t be a problem to take off.

MISSHA Under Eye Brightener

I use this product as an undereye concealer. Just a draw an inverted triangle under your eye and poof! No more dark circle problems.It is very creamy, spreads evenly throughout my skin and has a good coverage.

Also, this can be used when your doing the famous Korean gradient lip, jus dub a little amount in the upper lip, put a lip tint and you’re ready to go!

I love the great service on ALTHEA with its amazing deals/discounts and giveaways.
