Hair Post Part 2: Brushes, Hair Removal, More Products

Finally! It took me almost a year to write this sequel to Hair Post Part 1. What a shame!

So let's start off with the brushes...

Mason Pearson brushes and a round styling brush (that I just got from a drugstore). Aside from these 3, I also use a wide-toothed comb to style my hair after washing.

I got these Mason Pearson brushes because I read everywhere that they're the best in the world, and really they are! If you're all for quality over quantity, boar bristles are a good investment.

Here's what Mason Pearson says:

Que rubber-cushion pad, made by hand using Mason Pearson’s original techniques, allows for effective and efficient brushing. It is kind to use and massages the scalp.

The cellulose plastic handle is hand-polished and any sharp edges are removed to make the hairbrush more comfortable to hold. This handle was developed from the original wooden design which we continue to make in small quantities.

We continue to try to improve on the established design : for example, the "Child" brush is in response to a customer’s request. This is designed to enable a child to become accustomed to the activity of brushing. Similar to this, in the materials used, is the "Sensitive", which has been developed for people who have thinning hair or very fine hair. This brush gently stimulates the scalp. The natural extension has been to have a "Sensitive" model for those men who are "thin on top".

We build our products to last as long as possible. While we cannot make indestructible products, we use the best materials available so that, with a little care, they should give good service.We try to make improvements continuously. We have developed our own special nylon and take particular care in our selection of natural bristles to use the best combination for each brush.

No! No! Laser Hair Removal set. It really works but you have to keep doing it over and over, and since I started using it the hair on my legs got thinner and lesser and I have to admit that I also use it for facial hair once in a while. If you wanna get rid of unwanted hair permanently, I reckon this is cheaper instead of going to a dermatologist for laser hair removal sessions. But of course that is more guaranteed to be safer. Kind of smells bad after using it because of the laser but all you have to do is wash it off so it's fine.

Remington Electric Epilator. This is also quite good except you have to grow your hair a certain length so it can pull the hair up to the roots-- the only advantage though is that it will take a while for the hair to grow back. Hair didn't grow thinner and lesser over time, which is completely fine as long as they don't become thicker!

Fekkai Daily Protein Fortifier, Pantene Night Miracle, Pantene Leave On Creme, Frizz Leave-in Conditioner, Veda Hair Vitamin, Terax Life Drops.

Fekkai is considered as one of the best brands out there when it comes to hair products-- I'm not quite a fan because although it really makes your curls bounce and volumize your hair after blow drying, I just don't like it when I cannot glide my fingers smoothly thru my hair and well, I almost never blow dry my hair. The Daily Protein Fortifier is really really good though! Terax Life Drops is also protein for the hair and is also one of the best ones. Fekkai, Frizz and Terax are all on Allure's top hair products. You gotta read that section, most of the stuff they suggest are awesome!

Fanny Serrano Hair serum, John Masters Organics Hair Treatment, Phyto Anti-Frizz, Kerastase Nutridefense.

Haven't tried the Fanny Serrano serum just yet cause my sister just got it a couple of days back and I don't use the John Masters Organics because my hair is already pretty thick but according to my sister it works just fine. Phyto Anti-Frizz and Kerastase Nutridefense are great as well-- Phyto works best when your hair is completely dry and Kerastase when your hair is damp.

Joico Finishing Spray, Palmers Olive Oil Spray Oil, Mane 'n Tail Hair Strengthener Spray, Mane 'n Tail Revitalizing Creme, Organix Coconut Milk.

The Palmers one is good except it can be too oily so I suggest you put it before you shower and massage it thru your hair and scalp. Mane 'n Tail is really good especially the Revitalizing Creme plus it smells good. Organix Coconut Milk smells good too but I haven't tried it long enough to say it's good.
