STRICTLY CURLS - THE #1 BRAND FOR PERFECTLY DEFINED CURLS
By Marc Anthony Hair Care
Marc Anthony defines frizz-free curls with the Strictly Curls Collection of hair products by defining every tendril to make a beautiful crown of curls.
Enriched with Vitamin E to tame temperamental curls. Curly hair is naturally dry because the bend in the hair strand opens up the cuticle layer to let moisture escape. Vitamin E acts to replenish lost moisture and nourish the cortex.
Strictly Curls smoothes down the cuticle layer preventing the escape of moisture and the possibility of frizz and tangles. Every product in the collection is designed to nourish and smooth curls for spring like, frizz-free tendrils.

DAMAGE REPAIR - THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION FOR DAMAGED HAIR
By Marc Anthony Hair Care
Dare to repair with Marc Anthony’s Damage Repair collection, making split ends, frizz and brittle hair a thing of the past.
Every woman has either suffered or known someone who has had to cut off all their hair as a result of excess damage. Damage Repair builds support and health so the scissors aren’t your only solution. “It’s important first to say that the length of your hair is not alive so it cannot heal itself like your skin. This means products are necessary to repair the symptoms of damaged hair,” explains Marc Anthony celebrity hairstylist.
“Damage Repair takes a three pronged approach to repairing damage: it promotes healthy growth; moisturizes to smooth the frayed appearance and is gentle enough to use on the most fragile damaged hair.”
WHAT IS DAMAGED HAIR?
Damaged hair has an overall dry, brittle texture, looks coarse and frizzy and in general cannot hold color. It becomes very fragile and can break off in simple everyday styling or in severe weather.
Damaged hair isn’t just over processed or the result of a bad perm or color. It comes with regular styling or coloring overtime. Regular trimming helps prevent extended damage, but gentle regular repair is necessary to maintain healthy locks.
HOW CAN DAMAGED HAIR BE REPAIRED?
Skin, hair and nails are made of varying thicknesses of the same molecular blend. This structure can become damaged and lose elasticity. Reduced elasticity in the hair means it will fray and break with any tension, including tension caused by brushing, blow-drying or even a strong wind.
Provitamin B5 is really the miracle cure for your hair. It promotes body and shine, stimulates circulation to promote healthier growth while deeply moisturizing from the inside out to promote healing. Damage Repair nourishes even the tiniest parts of your hair so stressed hair is given added support to resist breakage and frizz.

BRILLIANT COLOR - ESSENTIAL FOR LONG LASTING LUMINOUS HAIR COLOR
By Marc Anthony Hair Care
Hair color fade no more, Marc Anthony’s Brilliant Color Color Lock Shampoo and Conditioner is the ultimate in care for color radiance and protection.
“We took the guess work out of long lasting color,” says Marc Anthony, celebrity hairstylist. “Too many women are let down by color protecting products that don’t deliver. Simplicity is the fundamental reason behind the Brilliant Color collection. I want women to be able to wash their hair with the confidence that they wash the day out and not their hair color.”
WHY DOES COLOR FADE AND LOOK DULL?
It’s the same principle found in fading clothes – color is stripped in every wash because the color molecules are lifted from the fabric. In hair care, fade-out is two-fold: Color and Shine.
Color fades because the color molecules do not stay whole from styling or environmental damage, it breaks apart and slips away losing intensity. Over time the molecules unlock and become loose from the cortex, the inner layer of the hair strand, and wash away.
Shine is lost when the transparent outer layer, the cuticle surface, becomes dull or damaged. The cuticle layer locks color in the cortex by sealing it closed and reflects light to create brilliant shine. If this layer is not nourished two problems occur: the transparency clouds leaving hair dull and flat and the scale like layer lifts allowing color to fade with every wash.
HOW DOES BRILLIANT COLOR MAINTAIN LUMINOUS SHINE AND RICH COLOR?
There are two key ingredients that defeat dulling: Provitamin B5 and Citrus seal the cuticle layer of the hair to
1) create a light reflective, smooth cuticle surface to enhance shine and
2) lock in color pigment and moisture. It keeps your hair looking vibrant, rich and healthy.
Brilliant Color Color Lock Shampoo and Conditioner are essential for long lasting, luminous hair color.

by Marc Anthony Hair Care

Enriched with micro-refined silicones, this revolutionary, ultra-light formula penetrates deep into the core of the hair strand; unlike other glossing products that lay on the outer cuticle creating a heavy build-up.
“I spent the better part of a decade perfecting this blend of microrefined silicones to gloss your hair from the inside out without adding unwanted weight,” says Marc Anthony. “Your hair will shine like the star you are.”

HAIR THERAPY - WHAT MAKES FRIZZ TICK?
We can’t just say goodbye to frizz without discovering where the relationship went wrong. Let’s take a deeper look.
It all began with the cuticle... The cuticle is the outermost part of the hair shaft made up of dead cells that protect the inner structure of the hair and give it strength. It looks very much like overlapping layers of roof shingles. When the cuticle is lying flat or closed it looks smooth and allows light to be reflected off the surface for a natural sheen. When the cuticle is open hair appears frizzy, dull and coarse. Many factors can contribute to a frizzy cuticle.
It seems that frizz has a lot of issues and some things therapy just can’t fix. Time to move on to a date with hair destiny – cuticle smoothing bye.bye.Frizz.

[Review]
Last month, received a set of Keratherapy Haircare products from Diora Professionnel.
And after trying it out on and off for a month.... here's my thoughts on this set of keratin infused shampoo and conditioner.
Keratin Infused Moisture Shampoo
Price: USD$19.00 [10.1oz/300ml]
Rich in antioxidants and pure keratin, the moisturizing shampoo gently cleanses keeping critical essential oils intact. The moisturizing Shampoo boosts moisture, resiliency and strength for soft, shiny, healthy-looking hair. Great for all hair types including color treated hair. Free of sulfates and Sodium Chloride. Recommended for use after keratin treatment.
Keratin Infused Moisture Conditioner
Price: USD$19.00 [10.1oz/300ml]
Moisturizing conditioner contains hair superfoods such as wheat germ oil and aloe leaf juice to smooth and mend the hair. Essential vitamins and pure keratin deliver intense moisture to quench hair's thirst, while shielding it from daily environmental and styling damage. This formula is free of sulfates and sodium chloride so it won't fade or strip color-treated hair. Great for all hair types.
I think, I do not have to repeat on what type of hair/scalp I have right? (Oh well, I think I should - Just for new visitors/readers ^_^)
OK, I have oily and sensitive scalp, oily hair - dry tips.
Born with super straight hair, but now because of "aging" ... my hair become abit fine and wavy(look abit messy).....
I love big volume type of hair.. so I will try to use products that will make my hair look dry(not oily nor wet) and give me alot of volume on the crown.
Here's my "review/thoughts" on how I feel about this set of Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner
This set of shampoo and conditioner were soooooo moisturizing that my hair look so neat and FLAT (I don't quite fancy flat hair). So after using both for 8 days... I rotated it with other shampoo(that was meant for oily scalp). And now I use this set of products on alternate week.
Shampoo and Conditioner are suitable for all hair types.
Personally, I think this would be most suitable for dry or fizzy hair types.

I have tried this afew times and I really adore the beautiful and soothing rose scent - not too powdery or too strong!
After rinsing off, skin feel silky smooth and surprizingly hydrated(if you leave it on for a min before rinsing off). Actually, I don't mind if this leave an oily film - but it doesn't!! It does have the "conditioner" feel which wasn't sticky nor stuffy at all.
The hydrating/moisturizing feel was quite similar to oil bath. But oil bath sometimes feel abit too heavy while this body conditioner doesn't (Maybe I didn't use ALOT).
The first few times using this.. I rinse it off right after applying and I do not feel any different! No "WOW" feel about this product... until I read the release/label!!!!! (Blur me! lolx)

Its rich, creamy foam spreads throughout the hair and scalp. The shine sensor mechanism creates shiny hair that is flexible and together all the way to its tips. Washes away with a faint cool feeling and defends against dandruff.
[Note:::: For me normally, I need about 3-5days to know whether a shampoo work "OK" on me... and about 2 weeks to know whether I can keep using it or need to rotate with another oil-control shampoo.]
I have been using this for "almost" 2 weeks now(start using on 24th March 2012), and it work "GREAT" on me!! I like that it foam up really well and lather nicely and foamy on my hair/scalp.

Tsubaki Head Spa Conditioner
Cultivates beautiful, shiny hair through scalp cleaning, moisturizing.
Thick, smooth liquid pervades the scalp and hair, making the scalp soft and hair flexible.
The shine sensor mechanism creates shiny hair that is flexible and together all the way to its tips.
The conditioner doesn't look and feel like normal conditioner!! Be careful when you rinise your hair... the floor might feel abit oily(but it's not those oil type of oily that was so hard to wash/rinise off)... It feel much light in texture as compare to normal conditioner... but it does condition the hair very well with just a tiny amount.
When I use the conditioner, it doesn't cause my hair to oil up easily. I like the feel of this conditioner, but not so much to use it everyday (I don't like toooooooo flat hair)... I skip using conditioner once or twice a week... or simply just use it on my hair tips(not more the 3cm)
It does make my hair look more straight and neat.. but it also flaten the hair around my crown... not too fond of it.

Personally, I'm more interested in this!!
I'm "seriously" love anything that can deep cleanse my scalp - as most of you have already knew that I have super oily and abit sensitive scalp... and the "saying" of this product sound really "cool" and interesting (atleast for me la).
BUT, I still haven't try this yet! Because, I wanna try shampoo and conditioner first. To see whether it works well on my oily scalp(and abit dry on the hair's tip). After-all we only use Head Spa Extra Cleansing once or every 2 weeks(depend on your scalp condition)... so trying out the shampoo and conditioner first sound more logic to me(lolx)
Anyway, I will edit in the review on this after I try it out for a few times (I'm going to use this once per week... and slowly increase or decrease the usage depend on my scalp condition.)
I'm happy that the price for this was really reasonable!!
