Product Review:Mondes Professional Ionic Keratin Hair Treatment

Tryin’ to REVIVE my Damaged Rebonded Hair:  Mondes Professional Ionic Keratin Hair Treatment (Part 1)

I am one of those gal who had their hair rebonded and colored and ended up having dry and coarse hair stands. In my case I’ve been doing the rebonding process for almost for years. Just this last session when I noticed that
my hair became brittle and it looks like I have fried hair after each washing.

I let one month passed to see my hair condition will change but -  que horror! It even got worse! It’s a depressing moment for me.

Who else to blame, I am guilty of these hair crimes (perfect!):
1.     Wet hair whitin three days after the procedure.
2.     Tie hair or put it on the back of your ears.
3.     Use of any heating tools: blow drying, hair ironing.
4.     Mess with hair for at least six months –hair coloring, streaks, highlighting.
5.     Use hot water, it will rob it of its moisture.
6.     Do not use a wide toothed hair comb to separate the strands and remove any tangles with great care.  A wooden comb is preferable as plastic combs are known to create frizz due to static.
7.     Do not wash hair in alternate days or try co-washing hair using conditioner as a shampoo and just rinsing it away.
8.     Do not keep hair safe from environmental factors – harsh sun rays, cold winds and the rains. Use a hat or an umbrella.
9.     Do not apply a hair serum regularly to protect it better.
10.  Do not use a leave in conditioner to retain moisture and keeps dryness and frizz away.
11.  Do not use hair masks frequently or get hair spas done for moisture and nutrition.

I do not want to trim my medium length hair nor spend a lot to salon hair treatments. Instead I headed to my ever reliable pc to look for alternative hair treatments for my damaged rebonded hair. I’ve found out that keratin hair treatment rebuilds, restores and rejuvenates damaged hair.

  1. Hello! Parehas tayo ng naging problem sa hair. Last August lang nagparebond ako, yun na ata ang WORST day na nangyare sa buhok ko. Nasunog and nag rubberized sya (based dun sa parloristang pinagpagupitan ko). Sabi nya, mag conditioner lang daw muna ako, wag muna gumamit ng shampoo. Pero hindi pa rin ako nakuntento, I headed to Hortaleza to look for something na mag-aayos ng buhok ko. Then ayun, inintroduce nila saken ang MONDES IONIC KERATIN TREATMENT worth 215 (1000mL). Grabe! Sobrang amazing nung product na yun! Although hindi agad-agad na aayos ang pagkadamage ng hair ko, unti-unti namang nakikita yung effectivity nito. And now, naimpluwensyahan ko na ring pagamitin ang ate ko ng ionic keratin na yun. Buti na lang may Mondes Ionic Keratin Treatment product na to the rescue sa damaged crowning glory nateng mga kababaihan! ^_^

    1. Thanks for visiting, JONZ. Us girls, nowadays..parang kasama na sa annual maintenance natin yung pagpaparebond or pag papastraigh ng hair. Yun nga lang, if we're doing it yearly or every 6 months tendency ng buhok is ma-dry talaga. What's good about us is that we have Watson's, HBC, HORTALEZA and other local stores that caters products that could help revive our chemically treated hair.

      JONZ if you want pa a keratin treatment, i have found this product at Hortaleza which i'm using daily. Please follow this site for more info:

    1. Hi Ma theresa, don't fret. Pareho tayo ng worries before. Mahilig kasi ako magpa-color ng hair and then nagpa-rebond ako after 5 months! ayun - nadamaged talga yung buhok ko. as in - parang naluto, na-dry at paang manipis na konting hila mo lang ay parang magbe-break! LOL
      so nag-research ako ng treatements. eto talga yung gina wa ko. for 2 weeks, i used modes ionic keratin hair treatement, i don't used shampoo. every other day lang ang washing sis.
      then after 2 weeks, i used Hortaleza's hair reconstructor. Everyday washing yung hair reconstructor, then once a week yung ionic para ma-revive yung hair. after every washing i used TECHNIQUES Damage Repair 3D Rescue Leave-In Treatment from AVON, this is for split-ends. i guarantee you sis, this really works! :)
      Taz, every night i'm using Human Heart Nature's, hair serum.

      Konting tiyaga lang sis, pero sure naman na babalik yung strength and shine ng hair mu :) promise sis, in just 1 month you'll already see the difference :)

  3. I color my hair every month. Sa dinami rami ng hair treatments na nasubukan ako after coloring my hair eto lng talaga ung may instant result. As in ang lambot ng hair ko at bouncy after drying. Bihira lng ako gumamit ng hair dryer. Usually electric fan. After matuyo ng hair ko ung ellips hair vitamin serum. Ang ganda ng result. Prang di ako ngcolor kc di matigas ung hair ko at all.

    1. Thanks for droppin' by, iceblue red!

      Yes, you can use it everyday. I am also using as my everyday hair treatement.
      Share ko lang yung nabasa kong article, ang sabi don walang sobrang gamit sa hair treatments like keratin. kasi parang vitamins daw ito sa buhok, nag aacummulate sa hair yung keratin that makes our hair healthier and strengthens our hair.

      Hope that helps!

  5. do you wait for 20-40 mins siya bago banlawan o as in parang conditioner lng n banlaw agad? and do i have to use straightening iron after using it? tapos dapat din po ba na madami akong ilagay nito na as in kita yung puti sa hair o hindi nman?

    1. Thanks for visiting my blog.

      Para mag penetrate yung keratin sa hair, it is better to leave it to your hair for 20-30mins or longer.You can do this procedure before shampooing or leave it overnight.

      Ako kasi, ginamit ko ito as my conditioner so after ko magbanlaw ng shampoo, i use ionic keratin treatment and leave it for 1-2minutes and then rinse.


      Nung rebonded pa yung hair ko ( nag pa-digi permed na ko! hehe) , pinapatuyo ko muna sa fan yng hair ko before ko plantsahin para di naman sobrang ma-damage ang buhok ko.

      If you will leave it overnight or for 30mins or more.. i suggest na marami kang ilagay sa buhok mo. ibalot mo rin sa shower cap para ma-absorb ng hair yung keratin.
      Pero if you're using it as a conditioner, gamitin mu lang kung anong tama sa length ng hair mo. wag naman sobra kasi sayang din yung hair treatment.

      Thank you, keep me updated for the results :)

  7. HI Cindy!

    I start using Ionic Keratin treatment at about 5 months after my got got rebonded. Before that nakita ko talga na na-damaged yung hair ko so naghanap ako ng products na makakatulong ma-revive yung damaged treated hair ko - and so i founf this product.

    Mas okay sana kung di ka na gagamit ng hair iron kasi 'nakakaluto' talaga yun ng hair lalo na kung everyday ko nagpaplantsa ng hair. Gumamit ka na lang ng hair iron on 'special' days kung kelan kelanga mo talaga ng straight hair.

    By the way, I am saying this based on my hair experience :)

  8. ahm ask ko lang katulad din ba ito ng ibang keratin na pag gnamitan ng palntsa hindi mo rin xa pwd basain within 3 days kc keratin din nmn xa :)

    1. ah,okay.. i understand. You have this keratin treatment and is aking if you will be using it just lke what the salon does and suggest us to do afterwards.

      Well, based ulit sa experience ko :) .. sa salon kasi gumagamit sila ng keratin + shampoo + conditioner + hair gloss + other hair vitamins + blowdry that goes with the har package that you availed . kaya suggestion talaga nila na after 3 days ka mag-wash ng buhok para sulit naman yung treatment! and di ka manghinayang sa isang araw mong pagpapaganda sa salon! hehehe..

      Hope it helps! Keep me posted! :)



      as for me, practicality wise.. i bought a tub of keratin treatement and do it myself athome. If a have more time, i apply it overnight para magpenetrate yung keratin. pero ako, i used it everyday as alternative to commercial hair conditioner. As in after shapooing, next to it na is the keratin treatment then rinse and let it dry ( on special days: hair iron). Then the next day, ganun ulit :)

  9. Hello. Just wanna ask advice. Just a brief history. I am naturally wavy and very frizzy. I never had rebond or relax. Nakapag pakulot ako sa bottom half part ng hair ko. That was last year and nag wear off n rin yun and i also git a haircut na so wala ng residue ng kulot. I also had my hair glossed pero that was years ago and once lang yun. So you can say virgin pa sa any salon treatments ang hair ko. I just wanted to know if you can recommend any hair care product na i can use to get rid if frizz? Pwede ba itong ionic keratin sa hindi damaged hair? Hindi din ako hiyang sa mga leave ons kasi may tendency na maging sticky and very oily. Thanks for taking the time to read my dilemma.

    1. Hi Hilda! I am very honored na you allow me to assist you on your hair situation. Though again remind ko lang po na hindi ako hair pro :-)
      If you have curly and frizzy hair, I would recommend a conditioning and moisturising mask..best if you will fiind something with glycerine. You can buy a pack and do it at home. Try it once a week and you will start to see a difference in your hair. Update me on this :)
      I will advise you to use mild shampoo and conditioner to lessen the frizziness.
      Isa pang tip, try mo rin magpa-trim at least once a month para maging mas healthy yung hair.. Try mo muna yung mga advise ko before ka magpa treat ng hair..sayang ang virginity! :)

  10. Hi po. Hindi po ako nagpapaayos ng hair. Kaso po mula nung january 2013 nagsimula ako magpaayos hair sa salon. Nagsimula po ito nung january 2013 na nagpahair spa treatment ako sa salon tapos naligo kinabukasan. Mga june 2013 nagsimula yung split ends ko at july 2013 nagpagupit ako ng maikli para matanggal split ends. Natanggal naman po kaso 1 week nagbloblower ako ng alnost 30mins. kaya nadamaged. Tapos nung october 2013 nagpabiorepair naman ako sa salon para matanggal split ends tapos naligo agad ako ilang oras after nung biorepair. Tapos nagparebond po ako nung dec 2013. Ang prob ko po sa hair ko is yung split ends, matetreat po kaya ng ionic keratin treatment na ito yung split ends ko? Last July 2014 kasi nagpatrim ako and nawala naman yung ibang split ends ko.kaso pagtumutubo may split ends na. Tapos bumagal po tumubo yung hair ko.

      Hmm..napansin ko na nagwa-wash ka agad ng hair every after treatement. You should let the treatment penetrate from your hair for 2-3 days. By this time, nagawa na ng ng mga treatement ang wonders sa hair :)
      Masasayang ang mga powers ng rebond and biorepair pag hinuhugasan agad. and besides, hayaan din muna natin magpahinga ang hair from pulling and tugging na ginawa from your treatments...

    1. HI! Ilang months na after ng hairbleach mo?
      I suggest na pagpahingahin mo muna ang hair mo and gamit ka muna ng home treatments na nakakapagpabalik ng strength ng hair.
      Use also mild hair shampoo ang conditioner para di lalo madamaged.

      After mo makita na kakayanin na ni hair na magparebond - go na ka ulit! :)
      ang mahalaga naman is algaan mo ang hair after treatments..nastre-stressed din naman ang hair tulad natin! hehe.

    1. yeap, minsan ginagawa ko rin yun. Ino-overnight ko yung hair treatments para magpenetrate lalo yung keratin sa hair mo - lagay ka lang ng head cap para di messy :)

      I think nakakabawas ng buhaghag yung hair tratments kasi nagiging soft, smooth and healthy yung strands ng hair.

After 4 days,I washed it pero kumulot ulit and nagdry =( I went back to the salon and the hairstylist fixed it but after 2 days bumalik nnman.
