I got a DigiPerm!
Yes, am a hard-headed - risk taker - stubborn lady. After reviving my hair from a dreaded effect of rebond treatment, i finally give in! A digi perm at Beauty Brick Salon at Makati with my best friend.
My BFF and i have been discussing digi perm for months before we finally decided to take the plunged last Nov 23 2013.
We did our reseach and was torn between Tony & Jackey and Beauty Brick. As for service and price, Tony & Jackey is known to have expensive services and mostly based on hair length while patrons kept coming back and recommending Beauty Brick for the perfect curls they do.
Late Thursday afternoon, I sent a message to book an appointment for Saturday and received a response after a while they even called for confirmation late Friday afternoon.
My BFF and I arrived at Beauty Brick before 9am. The place looks cozy. We were greeted by the staffs and the receptionist checked my schedule and ushered us to their couches and offered hair magazine.

We were first to arrive at the salon so i got to looked at their wall art and lined up digiperm.
I like how Mr. Shin took his time in checking personally each of the clients’ hair treatments.
The stylist were so warm and friendly. They won't also insist you to avail their other treatment unlike the others.
The Maintenance (as prescribed by Beauty Brick)
1) After digiperm, you can shower next-day but don’t use shampoo. Conditioner only. I don’t intend to wash my hair until after 48 hours to be safe.
2) You can shampoo on the 3rd day.
3) After showering, assuming there’s no more excess water, comb it with a wide tooth comb. Comb only when wet and never when dry.
4) Section your hair twice, left and right side. Then twist gently.
5) Start scrunching. This is a move wherein you cup the twists with your hand from the bottom and bounce them gently. Think of coiling a spring and releasing it.
6) Cup the scrunches and blow dry them while in your fist. A diffuser would make it easier. NEVER with an electric fan.
7) Once dry, separate the curls and apply a wax. They suggest any styling wax.
8) Scrunch throughout the day to maintain curls. No more twisting because it already has product in it. Only when wet.
Overall, my experience with Beauty Brick is above expecations. I'll come back for sure.
