I must have had this ceramic hair tong since 2007. In fact, I was contemplating on selling it off and thus wanted this to be a last test on my hair. The first time, from what I remembered during Winter in oklahoma was... urh. terrble. My hair refused to curl at all.

Now on second thoughts, I'll love to keep this. :)
Off to run some errands now :)

Amazing stuff.

Excerpt from Geekosystem.com

Here’s a delightful morning snack: When Pakistan experienced severe flooding last year, it had the unexpected and rather creepy-crawly side effect of driving millions upon millions of spiders to the trees, where they could escape the floodwater. Since the flooding lasted for such a long time, many trees became blanketed in thick layers of web.

But according to the UK government, which assisted in the flood release effort this may have actually had a positive health effect: On-the-ground reports suggest that there are fewer mosquitos than would have been expected after the influx of so much stagnant water. This, in turn, may have reduced the very real risk of malaria to local populations afflicted with flooding. The web-coated trees, however, remain scary-looking.

SimplyHer magazine sent me the complete set of Phyto's Phytokeratine to test out on my badly damaged locks. (Guess my review will be out this July on the hardcopy magazine). Yea I don't know to be happy or sad about this.

Lovely packaging aside (Except for the fact that I dropped the bottle so it's ...dented?). The shampoo worked great for me.

The lather was fine, and as opposed to my hair getting tangled everytime I tried to wash it. This time, Phyto's phytokeratine shampoo worked its magic with it's plant derived keratine. The formula is said to not contain silicons that tend to weigh hair down or cause product built up. I was able to run my fingers thru my hair easily while shampooing.

The conditioner too was light and didn't coat the skin of my hands nor neck after the process, unlike pantene or some other brands where you get a funny oily coating. To finish off,I applied just 2 pumps of the serum after I toweled dry my hair - perfect for my fuss free hair care routine.

RESULTS: My hair was light, it seemed to have more volume (YAY?) and also managed to stay tangle free throughout the day. While the results are really good. I'll have to check out on the retail prices, because from my knowledge, PHYTO is expensive!

I found the shampoo to be most effective, so those who are keen, if the wallet unfriendly price gets in the way. Start with the shampoo and decide from there!

It's a funny month for me because I'll also be featured in the readers' style picks for HERWORLD magazine this July.

About Francis Cheong

Francis Cheong stepped into the dazzling limelight of Asian high fashion when he became the youngest finalist in the history of the prestigious Singapore Young Designer’s Contest. Amidst senior designers like Tan Yoong and Thomas Lee, teenager Francis’ talent was promptly noted. Three years later, the 21 year-old bagged an impressive first runner up for the same competition. Undaunted, Francis continued to wow fashionistas world-wide as he was appointed official designer for the Miss Universe pageant in 1987. Since then, his arresting approach to couture—a combination of immaculate French embroidery with extravagant Italian fabrics—has gained worldwide recognition. This included his design for Beyonce during F1 Singapore.

Femininity is a must for Francis. That’s why through his designs, he strives to create a customised, classic wardrobe worthy to compliment any woman’s body. The meticulous crafting that goes into every fluid creation—striking beadwork and intricate embroidery paired with perfect cuts and simple lines—are all finely balanced to portray Francis’s philosophy of sophisticated femininity.

Believing firmly on the concept of individuality, Francis anchors himself to the notion that staying true to one’s dream is the most important thing in realizing a brand name of such stature in the far eastern market.

Marie France Bodyline Collaboration

This is the first time Marie France Bodyline is closely aligned with Singapore’s couture fashion scene, bringing the beauty of the female silhouette to the forefront through fashion. Marie France Bodyline hopes to use this milestone collaboration as a platform to inspire women to realize their potential in achieving a healthy body image and pays tribute to modern Asian women who are an inspiration to others.

Christy Chung, Marie France’s Bodyline’s celebrity spokesperson of 13 years is one such woman who was an inspiration for Francis’s Spring/Summer 2011 Couture collection.
