Brazilian blowout @ ENVY ME



Brazilian Blowout is now available in Davao! Yey! Hollywood is currently crazy over this protein-base hair treatment and finally, Envy Me Salon is offering it.For those who are hearing this the first time, Brazilian Blowout a hair smoothening treatment.  

It will do four things to your mane. 
  1. It will take the frizz out
  2. Because it is protein based, it will strengthen your hair.
  3. It will make your hair shiny and manageable
  4. restores it back to health.
Unlike its predecessors, Brazilian blow-out is chemical free.  Meaning, it doesn't use the famous formaldehyde solution before, during, or after your hair treatment.  The solution used in your hair is formulated with KeraSafe Bonding Sytem that includes plant extracts of Camu camu and Annato seeds, ingredients that can be found in Brazil.

The treatment's goal is to deposit and seal animo acids in your hair.  This is the key to having a smooth and frizz free mane.

Treatment Duration: about 90 minutes
Procedure: Your stylist will wash your hair, put the solution, iron it, wash it again, deeply conditions it for 1min, and blow dry it.


The treatment will last for 12 weeks.
I did not say anything to my stylist so he thought I wanted it straight, next time,
I'm gonna have it wavy...like J.LO ^.^

Previously treated hair, like rebonded and colored hair, should avail of this treatment because this treatment will strengthen your hair.  Notice how colored hair will will shine in luster.  It will not erase the color as well, but rather, it will make hures .  Damaged hair gets restored in less than two hours with this treatment as well.


After the treatment, you can immediately take a bath, if you like.  BI left the salon and immediately went to eat at the restaurant without having to worry that people will flee because i smelled as if I just repacked one truck of cough syrup. 

Why do I like it? it's summer! I need all the protection I can for my hair and still have it smooth and shiny regardless of how many beach escapades I go to.  It's my solution to having fab hair even at the beach!  I means, I can get up from the bed, brush my teeth and jump in the water without having to worry that I might look like a hag after it's dried.  You can also clip your hair or tie it without having to worry that it will leave marks

How does it feel? It is soft and definitely not stiff.

After care: They have shampoo and conditioner available at the salon that will help your brazilian blow-out stay longer than 12 weeks.

Sexy Samsung Notebook Series 9



My trusty lappy is on its way to retirement.  The battery just failed and I managed to add more injury by breaking the power button.  Since February, I've been looking for an apt replacement.  Because I'm always traveling to do shoots, I'm mainly rooting for something light and thin without having to look geeky.  Something my make-up artist friend would look at and appreciate.  Well, I may drive a truck-- but I'm still a girl.

And I think I just got my prayers answered.

Samsung just launched its sexiest notebook, the Samsung Notebook Series 9.  The launching was  last March 22 at the Peninsula Hotel.  What's more interesting is that famous fashion designers like Rajo Laurel, Randy Otiz, an Rhett Eala showcased their latest collection inspired by the new notebook.  Coolness. I've never heard of a gadget being launched in a fashion show before.





Dubbed as sophisticated and promoted for its sexiness, Samsung Notebook Series 9 has a screen size of 13 inches.  The notebook is 16.33mm with a weight of 1.31kg.  It boasts of Samsung's LED technology(SuperBright Plus) display with a 16million color reproduction.  This means the notebook is 80% brighter than any other notebooks available.

What got my attention though is that it is encased in the most advance Duralumin metal alloy-- the alloy used in specialized aircrafts, making it very durable.  I've always wanted to know the feeling of owning a Boeing plane...this might be the cheaper ticket *tee hee!

Good News!
