The Product That Works: Holds Curls Up for Hours!

DSC06279I have my fair share of disappointments when it comes to finding a hairspray that would hold curls up for a maximum number of hours. I’ve tried everything ranging from Finesse, Etude House, Tony Moly…etc. None of them could really take the humidity in the Philippines. After 2 hours, the curls just start going back to their normal state. No matter how “ULTRA HARD” the hairsprays may say they are, they still lose over the humidity!

I decided to set the sprays aside and enter the scene of waxes!

What’s the most common misconception about waxes? Well, for one, I believed only men could use the stuff. We know how male celebrities endorse them and such. It was mighty peculiar for me to be buying this product from Watsons last Sunday. But I took the risk and tried it out, anyway.

Bench Fix Professional Agent Bond Styling Gum “shapes hair without losing its softness and luster”—just by the description, it sold itself to me.

The whole Bench Fix line has a lot of different waxes that caters to different kinds of firmness, hardness, and shine needed by the consumer. This particular product is the perfect one for me since I do not want my curls ending up stiff!  True enough, I tried using it today and my search has come to an end.

My curls stayed intact for over 7 hours!

How I apply it is basically apply the product on my palm, and scrunch it on my curls. It definitely did not stiffen my curls up that much, but it held them together.

I am gonna be doing a 2-in-1 video featuring this baby and my BabyLiss iPRO200 just to show you guys how I turn my naturally straight hair into a curly mess! Stay tuned!

You can buy Bench Fix Professional Agent Bond Styling Gum @ Watsons for only PHP 95.00 (big jar)DSC06281

All About My Hair

I often get a lot of questions about my hair. The cut, the color, treatments, and the likes. I decided to do a video on the matter (see the video by the end of this post)HPIM2809

Fact #1 : I DO NOT HAVE REBONDED HAIR—my hair is naturally straight, I have never undergone any straightening treatments, whatsoever.

Fact #2: I have undergone (2) permanent treatments (perm) before. All done professionally in the salon.

Face #3: I have undergone hair coloring treatments TWICE before, all done professionally in the salon. (Cost me about 2,000.00) until I discovered…

  • CURRENT HAIR COLOR: ETUDE HOUSE BUBBLE HAIR COLORING—I have a blog tutorial on how to apply this hair color here. It was my very first time to color my hair by myself, and I can really say that Etude House’s Bubble Hair Coloring made it super easy for me. (All the info about this product is in here.)
  • COMBS I USE: Paddle brush from Watsons, 3-Row Comb from Denman (for teasing and backcombing PHP 195.00 from Beauty Bar)
  • HEAT PROTECTANT SPRAY: Monea CPR Heat Protectant Spray PHP 109.00 from Watsons
  • SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER: Victoria’s Secret So Sexy Hair and Conditioner for Fine Hair (from abroad)
  • HAIRSPRAY: Etude House Sweet Style Hairspray PHP 198.00 from Etude House SM City Manila & Tony Moly Silky Glaze Fruit Hairspray PHP 178.00 from Tony Moly SM City Manila
  • HEAT TOOLS: JML ProCeramicStraightener & BabyLiss iPRO200 Sol Gel Titanium Iron 22mm Barrel

I hope this answers all your questions! Enjoy the video:
