hair rebond

Permanent Blow Dry

A few months ago, as I was scanning my notifications from various group buying sites, I saw a deal that offers permanent blow dry. For someone who has straight but unmanageable hair like me, blow dry is the way to go if I want to have a nice volume. I had my hair rebonded December of 2010 and have not undergone any treatment since then. Recently, I had my hair cut short and now it is giving me tons of insecurities! LOL. My hair just don’t dry well and I end up having fly-away strands here and there. But I do not want to have it rebonded anymore because I figured, I do not want a very straight hair. I simply want a hair style that is not frizzy and buhaghag.

I did not bother so search my mails for that deal because it will be pointless, the deal is over for sure. So I checked Mr. G, hoping to find a new deal. But after reading on what it does, I think I will not go for it anymore. From what I read, the chemical used in this treatment contains high levels of formaldehyde and is seriously risky. Even the salon professionals who use them do not even know that! I was really scared as I was reading up on it in the forum thread I found. Be vigilant with every deal that you will purchase. If you have availed of this treatment, let us know how is it and if what was written is true.

As for my hair and the insecurities it is giving me, I will just wait for it to pass. Hahaha!

Hair Rebond by Victor Ortega Salon

My hair is one problem area that I really want to fix. No matter what clothes I wear, I do not feel as confident as before because my hair is a mess, always dried by wind. So when my mom told me that she will have her hair rebonded again, I said I want one as well.

Last December we went to Victor Ortega Salon in their Boni branch. This is also where my sister Gabby had her hair done. My mom previously had her rebonded at David’s Salon. Gabby convinced her that it is no longer practical because their charge is too expensive.

Prior to our makeover day, my mom kept on telling me to reserve for an appointment but i hesitated. We arrived at the salon at around 10am. I was so surprised to see more than 20 ladies being done already! We thought we would be waiting for a while to be attended to. But after we filled up an information sheet, Cenen, our stylist, called my mom and the process began.

In between chemical application to our hair, they rinse it, blow dry, then iron. The whole shebang lasted for five hours. Cenen and his juniour stylists handled our hair very carefully, answering every question I have.

Everyone in the salon, stylist and receptionist alike, were very busy but they managed to greet all who came in with a warm smile. Even that stylist with an angry aura greeted people and busied himself with her girls.

After the hair makeover, my mom and I concluded that the visit was worth it. I opted for a hair rebond with Kerastase Vita Cement treatment. The whole thing cost me PhP2000 ($47), exclusive of tip.
