Digital Perm at Beauty Brick


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.

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.
