Actress-host and influencer, Kim Chiu with beauty pageant titleholders Miss World PH 2021 Tracy Maureen Perez and Miss Hispanoamericano PH 2022 Ingrid Santamaria, and some influencers shared their secret to getting that perfect wavy and straight hair during the intimate media launch of Lifestrong Hairfix.

As the crowning glory, Kim recognizes the need to care for the hair on all occasions anytime, anywhere.

“Gusto talaga ng Lifestrong and ni Ms. Marge na magkaroon ng magandang hair ang lahat. And of course, ang mga cancer patients hindi talaga maiiwasan na magkaroon sila ng hair loss at mawalan sila ng confidence sa sarili nila na ‘Wala na kaming hair kaya hindi na kami lalabas ng bahay,’” Kim said.

She added, “I’m very happy kasi hindi lang siya nagpapaganda ng hair ko kasi nagbibigay rin siya ng hope for the cancer patients.”
