My friends say that i am so high-maintenance...i use a lot of skincare products, and no matter how sleepy, tired or drunk i am, i won't forget to slap on these products.

And if there's one thing that i dont really fuzz about...it's my hair. yep, i don't go thru such things as hot oil, protein treatments, etc. i can use any shampoo and conditioner and most of the time, i just air-dry my hair. I color my hair every 5-6 months though, and i use hair color serums just to maintain the color and shine.

After almost 4 years of sporting a short 'do, i now have a long hair (way past my shoulders) and i am loving it. but the hassle of air-drying my hair everyday doesn't help me to avoid being late from work. LOL. I actually thought of cutting it again, until i met this product.

my HG hair product

I am so thankful of Shen for giving me this a month ago. I was hesitant at first, for i am not used to applying other stuff on my hair aside from my L'oreal Elseve hair serum (the red one). But oh boy, i am so glad i did try it.

what i like:

• smells good. how i hate the smell of some hair products...there are some that smells like rubber, eww!
• non-sticky
• doesn't weigh my hair down
• no need to use a separate hair product to tame frizziness
• cuts half (if not more than) of my air-drying time
• gives me sleek, shiny and soft hair all day
• a little goes a long way, i've been using mine everyday and haven't finished even half of it

what i hate:

• the price. it's pricey at P915.00 as compared as to what i've been using before...but hey, for something that really works, money isn't an issue (right!?)

i think this Texture Expert from the L'oreal Professionnel line isn't available at regular stores. correct me if i'm wrong, but i think you can grab them from your hair salons that offer L'oreal hair products.

i am so loving this product. i haven't finished my first tube but i already am planning on stocking up as i don't want to ran out of my current HG hair product...well, who does!?

just a question though...how come in other countries, it's called Smoothing Essence and not Aqua Sleek? hmmm

(thanks to Phoebe, i actually "stole" the pic and product blurb from her site...lol)
