DIY haircut for Boys

 

HI AMW Friends!

How’s everyone ever since COVID19 happened?

Me, I have been busy for almost 2 years!  Busy with house work (no househelp by the way), busy with cooking, tutoring and work!  I thank God I still have work to do at the comfort of my home.

Since we are very particular with safety, we are staying home since March 2020 and I only get to go out when I visit my parents!  That said, haircut for both my boys are done at our home — all thanks to my TALENT *laughs*  

I did studied hairstyling years ago but to be honest, I’ve got no practice, I only got the basics discussed to me but I didn’t get the chance to practice on real people because…. How many people are willing to be a guinea pig #realtalk ?  

Because of the lockdown, I started to cut my dad’s hair, bringing my expensive clipper to my parents’ home and left it there.  I was left without a clipper at my own home and was cutting my Husband’s and son’s hair using only scissors!  

GOODNESS, if you think that was easy, it is VERY VERY HARD!

I finally went online an purchased a new clipper set but it was the more inexpensive kind so I wasn’t that impressed!  Thankfully, HAIRMNL offers high quality clippers good for professional use!  I am in no way professional so I can say, this new found device can be used by regular Janes and Joes with practice! 

Before and After

I am honestly not confident still after a year plus but I like it that I have improved a lot!

For reference, this was the exact brand and model I used in the video below!  Click link HERE.

I hope you learned something from me!  My sister actually called me to tell me she learned so much from this short tutorial and actually did a better cut to my pamangkin!  YAY!  I hope you learn something from this as well!

Do you cut your son and husband’s hair? 

How do you feel about using a clipper?

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 :)

Super Easy Hairstyle Technique (For All Hair Lengths!)

Check this out to all who said: "I can't fix my own hair!".

Well it's time you try because I have always been on a lookout for the simplest method for YOU to be able to style your hair.

This is not a perfect one but a "good enough" one to make you look and feel good almost instantly!

And no, you don't have to have the same hair length as mine!  You can even have short do's and do the same trick!  Even if your hair is "shaved" at the back, you can even just style the "crown" of your hair for extra bounce.

If you don't get or understand what I'm trying to say.....I have a quick 3 minute video for you to watch!

Enjoy and stay safe!

P.S. I used Kerastase Oleo Relax Oil (available locally at hairmnl.com) at the last part of the video because it makes my hair looks shiny after styling!  You can use any hair oil you have available at home.

My HairMNL Experience

Before I heard about HairMNL.com , I purchase my favorite Kerastase products inside my favorite salons!  Truth be told, there are many times I find it such hassle to go to a mall just to purchase my favorite shampoo, conditioner and hair treatment!  So when I found out about HairMNL website, I am super ecstatic because I can easily repurchase my favorite hair products at the comforts of my home.  

Yes, you heard that right, professional salon care products accessible with expert hair and scalp care advise all done online for FREE!

I'm sure a lot of you are asking about the "FREE CONSULTATION" right now, it is done via Facebook Messenger so start off by LIKING them on Facebook.

So I did that consultation and got myself a package with products shown on photo above!

And what I love about the service is that, I got the curated products meant specifically for my hair and I have extra notes on product description and how to use them!

I have been using Kerastase products ever since I started Blogging which was 12 years ago, there are so many times I tried to read instructions but I never get to really understand the product usage and product description by just reading the back of the bottle.  With HairMNL, I get everything set out straight!  I knew what each product was meant for and how to use it to achieve #hairgoals !
