Salon Blown Hairstyle with Vidal Sassoon's Air Hair Styler

 

When I first got my Air Hair Styler, I didn't know what to do with it!  I just like the idea of having hair tools with interchangeable heads and just HAIR TOOLS IN GENERAL!  I love collection them - no judgment please :P

Thanks to Tiktok and the stuck at home Pandemic, I was able to watch a lot of Tiktok Influencers who are using a similar hair styler (mostly in other brands), and noticed how they can easily create curls using the round brush head!  I mean, I have the tool, I should at least try right?

Yes, I did and pulled out a lot of hair I ended up using Hair Growth serums!  LOL.  But thankfully, with my persistence and love for hairstyling, I was able to FINALLY umderstood the right way to work and hold these tools.  

There are several ways to be honest but I like the vertical method!  The direction of the hairstyler is standing straight as shown on photo below and the effect of the curl is soft..wavy and romantic!

Expect gentle pulling when you use such tool as compared to regular curling rod!  But surprisingly, if done correctly, NO HAIR PULLING and no Hair Fall!

Ikoo Home Detangling Brush Review

 

For someone who loves to take care of her hair for many years!  I have heard using the right hair tools like comb and brushes would make a difference to the final look of your hair.

I used to be a hairstylist, a professional hairstylist!  I own a lot of combs, brushes and detangler God know how much I spent on those!  But never have I felt a brush could be THIS effective on FIRST USE!

I was in denial and even had to show this brush to my husband and he was amazed as well!

Philips Selfie Straightener Review

 

If you are a follower of my Blog for quite some time, you’ve seen me review different hair straighteners from the most inexpensive to a more expensive ones.  Various brands, various sizes - you all find them here.

And I never thought I missed a size of hair straightener that I didn’t own.  Or maybe, it was new?

Philips, known for their personal care brands, offers an inexpensive hair straightner called Philips Selfie Straightener.

WHY SELFIE?  I’m not sure but I guess it is a good-enough hair straightener size for you to be able to manage a nice hairstyle by yourself?

Philips Selfie Straightner 

Available at Lazada

Php1,890.00

I tested this flat iron for many times, doing straight hair, wavy hair and curler hair.  And true to its’ size, it is in between the smallest flat iron I own (which is around 12 inches) and the regular sized flat iron that are sole in the market for years.  This is around a whole face size - the size of this straightener goes from the tip of my forehead down to my chin.  And it is a simple smooth, black textured product with pink plates making this a cute addition in your dresser. 

The Iron has a curved side making it easy to do smooth curls.

Since this is a smaller hair straightener, it is best to note to section your hair in SMALLER section as compared to regular straightener.  Check out the amount of hair to perfectly creat waves or curls.  BUT, if you plan to straighten your hair, you can grab more

Le Couleur Professional Hair Steam Iron Review

 

I love all sorts of hairstyling tools!!!  You could see that interest whenever I post hair products/hair related stuff here on the blog!

From my first Hair Straightening Iron in 2008 (JML for the win! Still working until this very day!) to purchasing a MINI Hair Iron for the bangs (Shoot, I never get to use it until this very day!).  I love my heating tools so much I even purchase a Hot Iron Holster!

I even bought my first curling iron and had to purchase a separate Transformer because I can’t wait for the Asian version!  

My hair tools and hair stories could go on and on but I’ll spare you for that!  What gave me the inspiration to talk about my hair past is because of my newest hair tools addition to my humble family!  The Le Couleur Professional Hair Steam Iron!

Le Couleur Professional Hair Steam Iron Details (Taken from HairMNL.com)

High performance shine for your hair without the damage.

Vapor infused, allowing water ions to penetrate into the hair, from the tip to the roots, locking 90% of the moisture and adding 50% more moisture to the hair. 

Innovative straight hair hydration technology for silky-looking natural and healthy hair.

I have done research before doing this blog post, I have been searching high and low about this brand and this specific model and found not a lot of reviews online!  But when you check out the website, you would be surprised with the wide range of (not only hair straightening) but salon tools!  They even have their own brand of Barber’s chair!

So back to this product which is priced at HairMNL for Php8,800.00.  Not the most expensive in the market but you’ll definitely find something cheaper.  So I would put this under mid-range and I am ready to spill the beans after using this for almost a month!

AMW says—-

Pros

• Love the sleek look and color of this Hair Steam Iron.
• Comes with steam so hair is not as hot to handle while using.
• Easy to use.
• Has digital screen making it easy to see and control the temperature.
• Comes with 3 buttons at the side so lesser accidents while using.
• Hair indeed looks smoother and silkier even after use.
• The steam that comes out goes straight to the hair, never on the direction of my hands or fingers so I don’t have any burn or accident so far.
• Swivel cord. 
• The steam container is placed at the right position so it isn’t hard to use the hair steam iron.  
• Maximum of 230 degress which is just the right heat without damaging hair.
• Can straighten and curl the hair.
• Iron can be used with or without steam.  There is an on/off switch for that.

Cons

• It is very difficult for me to fill up the “steam” container.  I am unsure if I should put the whole iron directly to fill up the water container but I worry about it being broken so I used a syringe in filling up the container with water.  
• The container cannot be removed so if you feel like you don’t want to have this extra plactic container while you use the iron, well, you have to live with it :)

CKeyIn Cordless Automatic Hair Curler Review

 

How to get these curls?

Oh my!  I wish I can do this every single day!  Can you see my huge smile?  I was in the mood the whole time I was sporting this look because it brought me back to days I was busy going out - working, attending launches, events or hosting!

This is the type of hair I would usually sport because it looks good and yet - I am comfortable enough to still look like myself.

This is the CKeyIn Cordless Automatic Hair Curler Iron which I found on Shopee.  I wanted to try this but I have done my own research first.  I watched various reviews and saw good results - I knew what the Cons will be but the hair tools enthusiast in me just wanted to give this a try!  JUST BECAUSE, I am like that!  *laughs* 

After getting this at Shopee, I received the package approximately a week or so.  I bought a couple from the same store and they were all packed really well and I am happy with the service.

KEY Features:

1: Wireless charging, compact size, easy to carry.

2: 30 seconds fast heat. Automatic curling,3: The ceramic reel has stable properties when heated, long-lasting styling, and three-dimensional dynamic movement.

5: 6 modeling time settings, you can switch the time at will.

6: Double-layer heat insulation shell, full body ceramic material, reduce high temperature injury, heat insulation and anti-scald. The ceramic reel is heated evenly

The whole set consists of : 1x Curling iron,  1 x USB CABLE, a Manual, 1 x Storage bag, 1 x Rat Tail Comb and 2 Hair clips.  I am glad the company thought of including these because in every hair styling, you need these vital tools - good rat tail comb for sectioning and clips also for sectioning.  Without these, you can still manager to do your hair but not as effective.  

Please watch my Youtube video for a full, in-depth first try and you’ll see how it works (or not!)

Remington Air3D + Php1000 OFF PROMO CODE!

My love affair with hair started as early as gradeschool days!  During first grade summer, I insisted to join my mom in a salon and had my hair permed!  (Yes, I had minimal kulot at that age!)  I was such a good daughter my mom can't resist me!  *laugh* 

Comes highschool, the first hair straightening treatment was introduced in the Philippines and I actually went for that treatment with my bestfriend and ended up with unnatural STICK STRAIGHT hair!  

When I started earning my own, I invested on hairstyling tools - from blowdryer to curling iron, steamer, flat iron and a whole lot more!  I practice everything on my own head then decided to move up a notch and studied hairstyling.  

The rest was history --- ask me anything hair tools related, I will have my say!  

One of the few brands that I highly recommend includes - REMINGTON!  

Did you know that my mom and mom-in-law actually own a Remington hairdryer from the 80's pa and it's still working at present?

So back to my story, I knew about this brand way back and actually invested on my first 2-inch curling iron from the brand - I bring it with me on my makeup and hairstyling gigs and it gives me nothing but GOOD memories!  

So when the brand invited me for an intimate dinner for the launch of their newest styling tool - even on a weekend (Sunday pa!)  I knew I had to be there.

Remington Philippines introduced Remington AIR3D.

Our next generation of dryers is here, the AIR3D - with a new structure to hair drying and designed for ultimate styling, you won't have to worry too much about heat damage.
Engineered by a team of experts bringing together years of experience and research, the lightweight AIR3D is leading the way in performance.

Irresistible Me Jade Hair Straightening Brush Review

If you follow me on #AMWIGStories you've probably seen my Real Hair Situation.  

Lifeless, frizzy, unmanageable.

But how do I manage to look so "together" at times?  On photos?  During events? 

Well, aside from makeup and skincare, I highly depend on hair tools in making me look more "put together" than usual.  

I recently got the chance to try a Ceramic Straightening Brush , these types of brushes is what I've been longing to try as early as my teenage years!  I remembered browsing through international magazines hoping one day, I'll own one...and finally I did! (Sadly, I'm not a teenager anymore! hahaha)

Hay...I'm so in love with the pastel color!  It adds up to my excitement #truth

Herstyler Colorful Seasons Ceramic Straightener Review and How To Use

So I recently posted about my BeautyMNL haul and one item that I got that I can't seem to stop using is the Herstyler Colorful Seasons Ceramic Straightener in Hot Pink! 

I use it daily to create various hairstyles and my 2 favorites are these....

Straight with curl at the bottom for daytime,
And beach-waves curl for nighttime.

I've done A LOT of research prior to getting this!  You guys know me, I make sure to make every single peso worth it!  I've watched Youtube video reviews and read various beauty blogs and finally, decided to give it a go since it costs even more in the US and I got it at a special price of Php2,500.00 from the original price of Php9,100.00.  I was a bit wary at first because of the huge price drop but after checking and rechecking online, I got an authentic Herstyler flat iron for sure!
