Do what is the best for your hair! | Restyle+ @ Sunway Pyramid

What you think is important that girls need to take care of? Face, body, nail or hair? I would say, both! ❤️
I am a full time Graphic Designer and also being a part time Blogger & Makeup Artist. Usually I can only enjoy my day on weekend (if there is no freelance job).
Very honest to you, before my 23years old birthdays come to me, I doesn’t care of ‘to being a pretty girl’. I don’t enjoy doing all the treatment (facial, mani, hairstyling) to enhance my beauty. I feels all those treatments is like spending ‘unnecessary’ money and don’t need any of it. But after my 23years old birthday, I felt myself is getting mature and older. Most of the time I am stressed in my jobs. I don’t smoke and not much in drinking too. So what can I do to release all those stress-ness? Besides the options of put myself to sleep, I would like to ‘DO SOMETHING’ with money spending to make me happy! (Sounds a bit lansi, but actually not. No money but die die want to spend lol) Ok lo, my ex colleague all very much like to enjoy their ladies’ life. They are inviting me for treatment and massage together. I was thinking ‘ok lo! Never try never know mar!’, so I joined the ladies team!
After the few times treatment I feels better and stressless! I tell you what!
I AM OFFICIALLY IN LOVE OF THOSE ‘TAI TAI LIFE’ (rich woman’s life)!
After my long long story above, today I am going to share you my hair experience in Restyle+ @ Sunway Pyramid Mall.
*FYI, Restyle+ Salon is located in between Blunis & Bizzy Body.

Why choose them?

I received a recommendation from a friend who has do her hair treatment here. The feedback is quite good so I was thinking just give a try la! So here I am.

Let me share you a little bit of background of Restyle+.

Restyle+ is a subsidiary of the champion of hairstyling company A Cut Above Group of Salon.
Restyle+ is a group’s ambition of combining beauty, wellness and environment to fulfil the ever changing needs of the local consumers especially all those young at heart. Restyle+ is about providing an organic solution to a healthy scalp and hair, while still being able to stay true to its original goal. Restyle+ is mainly carried the brand Aveda for all the hair products. Aveda define they are naturally derived ingredients to be those for which more than 50% of the molecule comes from a plant, non petroleum mineral, water or some other natural source.
Aveda connected the conpany mission with product development by using what they define to be green ingredients whenever possible. Aveda‘s products are formulated without parabens, phthalates and sodium lauryl sulfate. Together, they work as one global team to bring a consistent, high quality Aveda Experience to guest in location worldwide.

What treatment I did?

After the consultation with Daphne (the Senior Stylist who served me on the day), We decided to go with hair colouring and Botanic colour treatment. Daphne asked me to choose the hair colour from Aveda Colour Chart. The colouring is using plant-based ingredient, it has less harm & chemical for your hair. I picked the army green colors which slightly lighter and yellowish (I’ve no idea why I love green hair so much hahaha).
As you can see from my picture I did bleach my bottom hair before. Let’s see how the colour can cover the bleached area.

WIP

Colour

Actually I came salon after my workout and I didn’t wash my hair! bwahaha! Surprisingly the stylist said my scalp is not greasy so we can directly do the colouring. For me, ok la.. Let’s do this!
After applying the dye on my hair, the stylist wrap my hair with plastic wrap and plugged in an oscillating heater. This heater machine heats up your hair slightly so that the dye will seep into your hair faster! They’re using medium temperature so it doesn’t damage my hair!
Time passed, stylist came for colour checking and we’re ready for wash out!

Treatment

After hair wash, we’re movin’ to hair treatment!
Stylist applied the treatment called ColorSave to prevent the hair colour to NOT fading off soon.
After 20mins, we did another wash again and the result came out like this:
Honestly, the colors looks even tho!
*Sorry for the poor picture quality, the salon as not enough of brightness so you might see a bit bad quality picture here.
The colours totally covered my bleached hair. My whole hair looks the same!!

Trim & Style

I did ask the stylist to cut my fringe because I think my hair is too long and straight, without any styling. Daphne did a good job on my fringe too! I LOVE IT!!
I love the fringe length so much <3 <3
After blow dried, she did some curl for me…. Tata!!

Overall Experience

It is definitely a good experience to have my hair done in Restyle+. The Senior Stylist here did provide their professional advice before they start to work on my hair. Few weeks later my hair colour still remain 80% the same especially the bleached hair area. It did not go lighter! ColorSave treatment did a good job! I would like to give my personal review here with Pros and Cons.
Rating: ★★★
Pros:
  • Kind-hearted staff and good servicing
  • Like the product they’re using – Aveda. Organic ingredient.
  • I would like to return for hairdo again!
 Cons:
  • No more others organic haircare brand except Aveda.

Bye Blackhead! off with those heads in 14days with b.liv Blackhead Sebum Gel

Clogged pores are the main cause of whiteheads and blackhead.

A blackhead is an overactive oil gland that’s clogged with sebum, dead skin cells, tiny hair strands and bacteria. Light and air contact at the opening pores, the clogged pore will stuck and slowly oxidizing it, then turning it black. That’s how ‘blackhead’ comes.

A whitehead can be found anywhere on your body. The nose, chin, and forehead are collectively known as the T-zone. The oily parts of your face, such as the T-zone, are the most prone to acne. Whiteheads are clogged with the same component of blackheads but they do not turn black because they have only a small opening to the skin surface. In short, clogged pores without turning black and inflame we called it ‘whiteheads’.

Your pores can become blocked for several reasons.

  • Hormonal changes (Puberty, pregnancy and menstrual cycles)
  • Using the wrong beauty products
  • Weather (Excess sweat)
  • Air pollution

How to get rid of it?

There is several options to get rid of it:

  • Nose strip
  • Blackhead & whitehead mask
  • DIY deep clean gel
  • Beauty products
  • Monthly facial treatment
  • Chemical peel
  • In-house pores extraction (do it yourself!)
  • etc…

A lots of bad review of using beauty product to get rid of those head. But I am going to give a try on this product. This is not a new product yet useful (based on online review). Bloggers seems to claimed the product can solve those heads in 14days! So I got the product and start to test it out!

My blackheads area mainly on my nose, and I like to squeeze it pretty much!! Hahahah! Honestly, I squeeze until no feeling already! And I realised with squeezing regularly it causes larger pores! Seriously….. Without using toner or mask after extraction, the ’empty pores’ will stay on open and not minimise at all. After a week you will see the ’empty pores’ has been fill with new whiteheads! FCKKK….

But now, I found the gel save my life! Just to consistently apply, no squeezing needed!!!

Tata!!!!!

b.liv off with those heads – Blackhead Sebum Gel

This product works like magic!! I have been using for 4months now. My whitehead and blackhead has controlled!

I used to have lots of blackhead and whitehead on my nose and chin. When the first I using it I monitor the progress regularly. I can see my blackhead has decrease by 30% after a week. Very effective! You might think that will not effect after I see the result. Nope. The product is still working out! After 14days of tested and tried, most of my pores is clear! Especially the pores on my nose! Sometimes I assist them to come out by giving it a very light pinch, it comes out easily!

The gel will softens the clog that is blocking your pores, allowing for effortless extraction and removal of sores. The essence ingredients assists to keep oil secretion under control, and skin aggravation will never again rule!

It doesn’t really minimise pores, but at least it maintains it from going bigger.

In the meantime, I did apply some soothing mask or hydrating mask to maintain my skin texture.

Before & After

Product Texture

  • Gel type
  • Not sticky at all
  • No fragrance
  • Very easy to absorb

Pricing

The product is slightly expensive yet effective (for me).

  • off with those heads (15ml) – RM69.30
  • off with those heads (30ml) – RM118.30
  • off with those heads (45ml) – RM169.00

**Tips: I would suggest you to go for 15ml first. To be honest with you, ½ pump is enough to use for me to use on my nose area d. Apply a thin layer will do!

* * * * *

Overall, very happy with the results. <3

Highly recommended to people STILL struggle with whitehead & blackheads! The result might not come as soon as possible like me but definitely will comes after!

Hope you enjoy reading my review of b.liv off with those heads (Blackhead Sebum Gel)!!!

See you on next blogpost! 🙂
