BAD HAIR DAY?

There’ll be no such thing as bad hair day if you know exactly what hair type do you have and which hair care and styling products that will suit you best.

Take it from me, there’s no way in this world that we can expect our hair to look its best without any help. At least, we all need our basic hair care products. I’ve learned from a few hair experts back in the days that we have to choose to the right shampoo and conditioner (separate) for our scalp and hair type. And if you are the styling type (like me), you need add-ons. In my case, pre-styling products and post-styling products. 

Why do I believe in the power of styling? I have very fine baby hair, and I blame it on my genes for not having thick hair. I need volume and shine, pronto! That’s why I stocked my self with pre-styling products to keep my hair safe from heat, as I blow dry almost every day. And I definitely need my post-styling products to keep my hair in place for the rest of the day. I even have two different hair sprays, for day and night use. There you have it, my dear hair products that keep my bad hair day away. 

LONG AND LASTING LINE

This will be in my list if (God forbids-knock on woods) I was stranded on a deserted island. L’Oreal Paris Super Liner 24H Waterproof Gel Eyeliner #01-Black. I remember one time, my makeup bag left out somewhere with my luggages in France and I have to sleep with my makeup on. When everything failed, this eyeliner really stayed on the entire night until I finally took it off. Very intense and bold black color, it glides on easily with my favorite eyeliner brush from MAC #266. It’s so easy to achieve a smooth line and dries in a zippy. My favorite, indeed.
