Novuhair breaks down hair truths versus myths

Beauty, Consumer, Features, Mindanaoan Update

I regularly color my hair. I started out with the auburns, deep browns and burgundy shades. These days, however, you can see me sporting light colors (platinum, blonde and the like). In other words, I like experimenting. However, as much as I don't like to admit it, I am putting harmful chemicals on my hair. For others, putting chemicals can result in migraine, nausea and skin rashes. These symptoms may be quickly attributed to stress but if you look closer, the culprit may just be your hair product! Novuhair, nature’s answer to hair loss, gives us the lowdown on these chemicals. Check out these hair myths versus hair truths. Myth: Shampoo must produce lots of lather in order to properly clean your hair. Truth: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is a compound that helps shampoo and ...

ZIYA For Easy Breezy Dressing

Mindanaoan Update

As a frequent traveler, I need clothes that do not only highlight my personal sense of style but also those that are also affordable, easy to wear, easy to pack and easy to clean. This is why I prefer resort wear clothes. Also called “easywear,” resort wear clothes are generally made from materials that are breathable and lightweight. Clothes that are made of soft, wrinkle-free fabric (so you can easily roll them and place inside your suitcase), that have pretty styles, colors and designs and that are casual yet very fashionable. These are the very reasons why I just love Ziya. Derived from the Arabic word meaning “splendor, glow, light,” Ziya is a chain of boutiques in the Philippines that aims to cater to the global woman who is proud of her distinct personal style. I’ve been a ...
