Let’s Talk About Hair: The Professional Way

They say, “Our hair is our Crowning Glory”. It is one of the keys to boosting our confidence and most times, we use our hair as a tool to express ourselves. Curly or straight, thick or thin, or whatever colors our hair may be, we should be able to own it because it is a part of who we are. Owning our hair is one of the most significant steps to loving ourselves more; it gives us the courage and confidence that with whatever type of hair is given to us, we are ever more beautiful with it.

Hairfix recently launched its newest Hairfix Professional Line, along with the Meet and Greet of Hairfix’s Brand Ambassadress, Kim Chiu. 

The event was held at Watsons, SM North Edsa - The Grand last September 28, 2023, and was hosted by Ms. Tracy Manlangit. Moreover, other than the presence of the Chinita Princess, it was also graced by several personalities such as mom influencer Kris Lumagui, dermatologist Dra. Bea Chan, and Tiktok influencer Dior Veneracion.

The newest Hairfix Professional Line includes three lines to choose from. Formulated with Keratin Booster Complex and Curl Booster Complex, this new 4-in-1 PRO Line is the hair care solution professionally done to wrap your tresses with the optimum care for every kind of hair, making all the more worth trying. First, the Collagen + Peptide and Castor Oil with Keratin (Volumizing and Detoxifying) is all about promoting thicker, longer, and stronger hair. Collagen supplements have been shown to increase the body’s hair-building proteins and are very effective in the treatment of dry, brittle hair. The Protein + Vitamin C and Castor Oil with Keratin (Straightening and Restoring) gently repair structural damage and even smoothen the roughened cuticle layer of damaged ends. Moreover, Protein-rich hair care transforms limp and lifeless hair into luscious locks with increased resistance to frizz and split ends. Both encompass a Shampoo, Conditioner, Treatment, and a Leave-On Hair Spray, which is the complete care set for you! Lastly, with Curl Booster Complex, Power Curls (Defining Curls) is enriched with Hibiscus, Shea Butter, and Amino Acid. It defines the natural curls of your hair that add shine, bounciness, and moisture to your hair after every use, making your curls long-lasting and nurtured. This curl-loving line comes with a Defining Lotion best used with the Power Curls Shampoo and Conditioner.

Mom influencer Kris Lumagui shared her experience when she used the Collagen + Peptide set. She said that having not-so-thick hair has become challenging especially when styling her hair, but the ingredients of the Collagen set helped her hair a lot, appearing thicker and healthier.

Additionally, it added volume and bounce, making it less dull. Meanwhile, well-known dermatologist Dra. Bea Chan explained the benefits of the ingredients Collagen, Protein, Vitamin C, Peptide, and Castor Oil. Incorporating these ingredients into your hair care routine not only makes your hair thicker or straighter but also nourishes, hydrates, repairs, and protects your scalp from structural damage. She also said that using the treatment twice a month is recommended. Keratin makes up 85% of a normal hair strand, but with damage, it decreases the Keratin in our hair and that’s where Hydrolyzed Keratin of the Professional Line comes in; it restores the lost Keratin in our hair to bring back its natural, stronger state with no frizz. On to the curls, Tiktok sensation Dior Veneracion, who has curls that almost everyone loves to have, discusses the do’s and don'ts when having natural curls. His curly hair routine was also shared by Dior, stating that paraben-free products are best used for curly hair. He immediately loved the Power Curl Defining Lotion as it makes his curls more intact, bouncier, and shinier.

After the launch event, Kim and the Hairfix team proceeded to Dylan Cafe for the press conference but before that, Kim did the P1,000 Pesos Watsons Challenge. She went and got her favorite product such as Hairfix Ash Brown Permanent Hair Color Cream, and decided to hoard the newest Professionals Power Curls Leave-On Hair Lotion and the Collagen + Peptide Shampoo, Conditioner, and Leave-On Spray. It became more exciting when the raffle winners were announced and the three grand winners would take home either an Acrylic Organizer, a Hair Blower, or, for the 1st Grand Prize, a House of Little Bunny bag! All the winners enjoyed a 2024 Planners and a Hairfix Jelly Tote Bag.

The Hairfix Professional Line Shampoo and Conditioner retail at P199 (for Collagen and Protein set) and P179 (for Power Curl set), Treatments are priced at P249 (Buy 1 Take 1), Leave-On Hair Sprays are at P129, and the Defining Lotion retails at P109. All are exclusively available at Watsons and SM Department stores nationwide.

Dengue Health Reminders

The dengue virus, also known as DENV, is a viral infection transmitted to humans through the bite of infected mosquitoes. Due to the frequent rainy seasons, the virus is commonly present in tropical and subtropical countries[1] like ours. To protect our communities from dengue, Watsons wants to raise the alarm on the severity of this infection and educate the public on the preventive measures against it.

Photo : Thanh Hue Dao

The Philippines has an average of 185,008 cases of dengue over a five year period of 2012-2016, and an average death count of 732.[2] As of April 29, a total of 39,947 dengue cases were recorded in 2023. Compared to the same period in 2022, this number is 43% higher.[3] Children between ages 5 and 9 years old made up almost half of the fatalities in the 2019 Philippine dengue virus outbreak.[4]

Although there is no cure for dengue, the disease can be managed early[5] and there are many ways to prevent getting infected by it. Watsons recommends using products that will keep you and your family safe from mosquito bites. Since the virus originates from the bite of a dengue-carrying mosquito, it is also advisable to take preventive measures to keep mosquitoes away from your home. To keep you protected against dengue, here are some easy tips from Watsons that you can follow:

  1. Remove standing water around your house where mosquitoes could lay eggs.[6] Cover and change the water in any storage containers. Make sure to repair any cracks or gaps in pipes or septic tanks.
  2. Use an insect spray made to kill mosquitoes in areas where they rest. Mosquitoes rest in dark, humid areas like under patio furniture, carports, or garages.[7]
  3. Prevent mosquitoes from entering your home by installing or repairing window and door screens. Do not leave doors propped open.[8]
  4. The first line of defense against the dengue virus is boosting our immune system. Multivitamins such as Watsons Vitamin C + Zinc can help strengthen our body’s defense and heal wounds faster by protecting and keeping your cells healthy, and also maintaining healthy skin, blood vessels, and bones and cartilage.[9] Zinc also helps grow cells, build proteins, and heal damaged tissues.[10]
  5. To also protect yourself from other potential disease-carrying insects, insect repellent lotions and patches provide a safe and skin-friendly repellant that you can have on your person. These work great for traveling or when you’re outside frequently.
  6. Putting small drops of citronella essential oil around your home is a stylish and a more organic way to keep your home safe from disease-carrying insects. It’s also safe to apply on your skin!
  7. After being exposed to harsh weather changes or when we work ourselves beyond what our body can handle, getting sick can’t be avoided. If you start getting headaches or body pains, or you’re starting to feel a fever setting in, Watsons Paracetamol is your friend.
  8. The rainy season brings various illnesses so make sure you stock up on Watsons Ambroxol and some lozenges as well to combat colds and coughs. Ambroxol clears congestion in respiratory diseases because it thins down and breaks up phlegm.[11] Meanwhile lozenges relieve sore throat, throat irritation, and also help with cough relief.[12]


Watsons offers more medicines, vitamins, and supplements that can help build immunity and maintain your health. You just need to listen to what your body needs and take a trip to your nearest Watsons branch. They have a wide selection of options and prices that suit your preferences. In the Watsons app, more discounts and exclusive offers are waiting for you! Download it on  iOS and Android and have your items delivered to you, or you can pick them up from your desired branch. Don’t let the rainy season slow you down. With Watsons as your health partner, it’s easy to stay safe and protected from any illnesses, even if it’s as serious as dengue.

8 Health Essentials That You Need To Have This Summer

Summer is in full swing, which means it’s time to make plans with loved ones to enjoy the great outdoors. A day spent outside the home is fun, but the intense heat can affect anyone’s health.
Image by tirachardz on Freepik

Watsons encourages families to stock up on health essentials that can help combat the harmful effects of sun exposure and high temperatures. With over 60 million people affected by El Niño[1], there is a high chance of disease outbreaks. This also causes heat stress and respiratory diseases, among a wide range of health problems.[2]

Since prevention is better than cure, here are the must-haves that the leading health and beauty retailer recommends:

Sunscreen

Sunscreen protects the skin and helps prevent sunburn and premature aging, and more alarming conditions like skin cancer.

When looking for sunscreen, it’s important to choose broad spectrum products that protect the skin from both the Ultraviolet A (UVA) and B (UVB) rays of the sun. Another consideration is the sun protection factor or SPF. This is a number that tells you how long the sun’s UVB rays will turn the skin red after applying sunscreen. Minimal exposure to the sun needs an SPF of 15 or higher, while longer time spent outdoors needs at least 30. It is recommended to use sunscreen 30 minutes before heading outdoors and to reapply every two hours.[3]

Facial mist

Complement sunscreen with a generous spritz of facial mist. This product serves a dual purpose: it hydrates the skin and helps it absorb other products like serums and moisturizers. Facial mists have other benefits depending on the ingredients. Some have essential oils for aromatherapy, while others have antioxidants.[4]

Vitamin C serum

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that can neutralize free radicals that damage the cells. It also controls infections and heals wounds.[5] The vitamin plays an important role this summer: when used as a serum, it can hydrate and brighten the skin, protect against sun damage, and promote collagen production to prevent fine lines and wrinkles.[6]

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is another antioxidant that reduces damage caused by free radicals. It’s also an essential vitamin during the summer because it cares for the skin and hair. Vitamin E creates a protective barrier on the skin’s surface to lock in moisture. Additionally, it supports the scalp and adds shine to hair.[7]

Magnesium

Magnesium is a mineral that helps make the heart, bones, muscles, and nerves operate at their best.[8] It even regulates body temperature. Thankfully, the mineral is available as a supplement that can be easily bought at health stores.

Zinc

Zinc is a mineral that helps the immune system. It aids in wound healing, blood clotting, and the optimal functioning of the thyroid. A shortage of zinc may lead to pneumonia, skin changes,[9] and even hair loss.[10] The heat can damage hair so a zinc supplement may help address that.[11]

Collagen

Collagen is a type of protein that helps cells grow, provides a protective layer for organs, and gives elasticity to the skin.[12] It’s also available as oral and topical products that help with signs of aging such as wrinkles and dehydration. These can be caused by the summer heat so it’s advisable to take collagen this summer.

Glutathione

Glutathione is an antioxidant that fights off oxidative stress, which may lead to diseases like diabetes and cancer.[13] Its oral and topical supplements may help lighten dark spots and free radical damage to the skin caused by the sun.[14]

All these health essentials are available at Watsons. The global brand in health and beauty retail offers a complete and wide range of vitamins, supplements, over-the-counter or prescription medicines, personal care products, and other essentials in its network of 1,000+ stores in the Philippines.

Watsons makes the shopping experience more convenient with its added services. Customers can choose Click & Collect Express, where they can purchase online and pick up their orders from their selected store in 30 minutes or less. They may also try the Home Delivery Express, which delivers orders right to their doorstep within three hours.

“Filipinos are making the most out of the summer by spending more time outdoors or traveling. The right health products can help them ease their worries so they can focus on celebrating and enjoying the season. Let Watsons remove the burden of shopping by visiting our wide network of stores and availing of Click & Collect Express and Home Delivery Express,” says Jared De Guzman, Watsons Customer Director.

Why Every Woman Needs a Partner in Health

Women play an essential role in society. Studies have shown that women make better leaders, bring about higher returns to economies, and improve the lives of people in communities.

Photo by partystock (Freepik)

Women’s position in society means it is important to prioritize and understand their health. They face a variety of health issues, with cardiovascular disease as the leading cause of death for women around the world. According to The Lancet, 35% of deaths in women worldwide are caused by cardiovascular disease.

Women are also at risk for cancer, a leading cause of death worldwide. The World Health Organization revealed that it accounted for 10 million deaths in 2020 or the equivalent of nearly one in six deaths.

Breast cancer is the most common of its kind in the Philippines and the world. It is the majority type of cancer that affects Filipino women at 31%. Additionally, it is the third most fatal type of cancer in the Philippines, just behind lung and liver cancer. Global figures are just as alarming: the disease is the most common cause of cancer death in women.

Lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer

“The risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like cardiovascular issues and cancer can be prevented. While some factors cannot be avoided, such as family history or age, taking care of one’s health through preventive measures can lower the risk of heart issues and cancer. As always, it is important to consult a health professional when making lifestyle changes,” says Dr. Gia Sison, Head of Wellness Center at Makati Medical Center, a mental health advocate, and a breast cancer survivor.

A key way to prevent NCDs is to maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight can lead to conditions like high blood pressure and cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes. A diet filled with fruit, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, and legumes such as lentils and beans can fight malnutrition, cardiovascular disease, and breast cancer.

It’s important to pair a healthy diet with regular exercise. Aside from helping maintain a healthy weight, at least 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity can lower the risk of heart disease and cancer.

Women are also advised to not indulge in vices such as smoking and drinking alcohol. Tobacco contains chemicals that damage the heart and blood vessels. Even those who do not partake can be at risk due to secondhand smoke. Meanwhile, higher consumption of alcohol increases the chances of breast cancer.

Lastly, it’s important to get regular health screenings. These can help women understand their bodies better and see if they need to take action. For example, they can screen their blood pressure and cholesterol levels, or get tested for diabetes 2. Women are encouraged to do a breast self-exam at least once a month and to consult a doctor when a lump is detected.

The Philippine Commission on Women also stated in the past, “Women’s health directly affects the health and welfare of families, communities, and even the economy. Thus, in our every stride to pursue national development, promoting women and girls’ health must be prioritized.”

“We must all take part in promoting health literacy by being proactive in learning and sharing the right health information, supporting bills and reforms that push for women’s health, and aiding different health services and programs that are comprehensive, culture-sensitive, and gender-responsive,” Atty. Kristine Rosary E. Yuzon-Chaves, PCW Executive Director reiterates.

A partner in health and wellness


Just recently, Watsons Philippines launched the “Dare To Be” campaign to encourage young women to go beyond stereotypes and stand with other women to discover the best version of themselves. The campaign is aimed at supporting BRAVEHER, BOLDHER and STRONGHER Women in a cause of gender equality that embraces women from all walks of life. This includes striving to become every woman’s partner in taking care of their health so they continue to look good, do good, and feel great.

The leading global brand in health and beauty empowers women with the best quality and widely-available health, wellness, and personal care products at an affordable price. These include vitamins and supplements, which can be taken with a doctor’s recommendation, and over-the-counter and prescription medication.

Watsons is also home to health monitors and medical implements and equipment to stay strong and able-bodied.

Women can visit Watsons’ network of over 1,000 stores in the Philippines, all offering expert care with its in-store pharmacists, specialists, and staff. They may also visit the website or download the App to order medicine, vitamins, and supplements. To get health tips tailored-fit to their health need, they can access the Watsons Health Hub to chat with licensed physicians and Watsons pharmacists for professional advice.

“We have proven time and again that women are strong individuals who can bravely face all the challenges that come their way. Watsons empowers them with the best health and wellness solutions available so they can continue to be amazing in everything they do, whether it’s at home, in the workplace, or society,” says Jared De Guzman, Watsons Customer Director.
