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.

Biotin (Wolvit®) prevents hair loss caused by biotin deficiency

Tweet

A full head of hair is commonly associated with feminine allure or masculine appeal. No matter how it’s cut or styled, thick, smooth, and shiny tresses enhance a pretty face or lend a kind of charm to plain and homey ones. In fact, nothing gives the average man or woman a better confidence boost than a lush, well-styled mane.

Biotin used in response to hair loss was found to show evidence of clinical improvement.

Thus, it can be quite distressing for anyone to note signs of early hair loss, such as regular shedding of hair in the shower or waking up to find significant amounts of hair strands on one’s pillow.

Providentially, before all these lead to the more visually upsetting stage such as a “receding hairline,” there is a product that’s formulated to help restore the thickness of your hair and prevent serious hair loss: Biotin (Wolvit®).

YOUR HAIR LOSS MIGHT BE CAUSED BY BIOTIN DEFICIENCY

Excessive hair loss can cause your self-confidence and self-esteem to plunge.

Biotin is a key part of the body’s protein synthesis, especially in keratin production. Keratin is the most important protein that the body needs to produce and maintain healthy hair and skin—plus better nail growth.

In a study published in the Skin Appendage Disorders journal, it was found that common afflictions resulting from biotin deficiency include alopecia, eczematous skin rashes, seborrheic dermatitis, conjunctivitis, and more. This often manifests as excessive hair loss, brittle nails, or dry skin.

These are conditions that may produce an emotional toll on the afflicted, as well. After all, excessive hair loss can cause your self-confidence and self-esteem to plunge, and feelings of insecurity to set in.

A good diet, regular exercise, and taking Wolvit will help against biotin deficiency.

Marco Elmer Manus, Group Product Manager at Kusum Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. Brand Office, spoke on how Biotin (Wolvit®) helps those suffering from biotin deficiency. “The signs of biotin deficiency can be difficult to deal with,” said Manus. “One starts to worry about their health and lose confidence in their looks. it’s disquieting! That’s why we want to tell everyone, ‘Hey, relax! There are things you can do. A good diet, regular exercise, and taking Biotin (Wolvit®) will help.’”

BIOTIN IS GOOD FOR YOUR HAIR, NAILS, AND SKIN

Wolvit is formulated to help restore the thickness of your hair and prevent

serious hair loss.

Biotin is a key part of the body’s protein synthesis, especially in keratin production.

Manus asserts that there’s no need to be alarmed when hair loss starts setting in. A healthy lifestyle combined with Biotin (Wolvit®) provides the body the biotin it needs to produce healthy hair, skin, and nails.

A study conducted by the Institute of Dermatology and Venereology of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine found that the use of Biotin (Wolvit®) “has positive effect on the structure of the skin and its appendages (hair, nails).” In a review of 18 cases—published in Skin Appendage Disorders—where biotin was used in response to hair loss, it was found that all showed evidence of clinical improvement.”

All this gives hope to those suffering from hair loss caused by biotin deficiency. So for those looking to prevent early hair loss, Biotin (Wolvit®) is here, reminding everybody, “Don’t lose it! Use Biotin (Wolvit®)!”
