Hair Rebond That Last



When a lady gets a rebond, it means she went through a lot of serious thinking just to be absolutely sure that she’s ready to make that commitment. At the end of the day, a rebond is a commitment that should really last.

Imagine the indignation when a lady gets a bad rebond or a rebond that lasts only a month. Remember that rebonding is a chemical, thermal, and mechanical process that is sure to have side effects and adverse reactions. That is why getting good quality rebonds using the right products with the best hairstylist is of great importance.


Most people who get rebonds do not know how to properly take care and maintain their rebonded hair for the long term. Sometimes even the hairstylist is at a complete lost when a customer asks how they can make their rebonds last. Anyone would have second thoughts about getting a rebond in the first place if even the hairstylist does not know how to maintain.

The good thing about rebonds is it’s really not that complicated to care for. With the right product in very capable hands of really good hairstylist and your stanch commitment to maintain it in the long term, a rebond can last for close to a year!

This is why the hair and beauty experts of Ahglow created Kerafix.“Ahglow provides the answer when it formulated Kerafix, which is designed specifically for daily care and maintenance of rebounded hair,” said John Lansang, one of the founders and creator of Ahglow.



The chemicals used in hair rebonding and the high heat from the straightening iron can leave hair dull, dry, and damaged, which doesn’t bode well for hair especially in the long term. The products you use for shampooing, conditioning, protection, and keratin replacement are important.

After a rebond, a good hairstylist will tell you not to wet or shampoo your hair, wear clips, hairbands, hats, or any other headgears, tuck your hair behind your ear, ponytail it, or use any styling products two to three days after the treatment lest you lose all effort that was put into making your hair beautifully rebounded. Make the mistake and you’ll live with the marked consequences in the long term.

A good hairstylist will also tell you to commit maintaining your hair and to use products that are up to his standards. For the daily treatment and maintenance of rebonded hair, you need shampoo, whole-day conditioning and shine, keratin replacement, and hair protection. Ahglow’s Kerafix just fits the bill. Here are reasons why:



1.    Rebonded hair tends to be dry and dull. Shampooingthat moisturize hair is just the thing to keep rebonded hair last long term. Shampoo should be formulated with keratin-protein as the active ingredient followed by a conditioner that supports the shampoo’s benefit. Just for that, Ahglow’s Kerafix offers the Deep Moisturizing Treatment Shampoo and Deep Moisturizing Treatment Conditioner.

2.    Aside from keeping hair from dying or becoming dull, you must also do whole day conditioning and shine. Hair will become soft, smooth and shiny the whole day if you use a leave-on conditioner with a gloss component like the Kerafix Leave-On Conditioning HairShine.

3.    When hair goes through heat and chemical treatment, it loses the keratin that keeps it health. Keratin-protein replacement must be done to return the proteins you lost to keep it health. The Kerafix rebonded maintenance products are ingeniously formulated with keratin to reinvigorate hair and give back the healthy aspect it lost.

4.    Ironing and blow-drying hair at home tends to make hair damaged; don’t ‘fry’ your hair at home. Protect hair from the damage brought by extreme heat. Use Kerafix Heat Protection Treatment, which can really shield hair from the extreme heat of iron and blow-dry while you enjoy the benefits of ironing and blow-drying.

At the end of the day, long-term maintenance also relies on the quality of the rebond that you got. Choose the right rebond by choosing Ahglow products. The Ahglow Rebonding System uses a five step system that ensures hair is healthy and beautiful even after the chemical, thermal, and mechanical treatments that when used with low-quality products can surely make hair terrible.



Other rebonding products use only two steps, which neglects the need to replenish the hair’s health. Ahglow’s five step system begins with the Straightening Cream, followed by the Keratin Hair Protek, the Neutralizer Cream, the Keratin Conditioner, and the HairKote.
Another great thing about Ahglow’s rebonding products is its use of a special ingredient imported all the way from Germany to ensure the quality of the rebond. The ingredient other products just didn’t make the cut for the experts of Ahglow. Ahglow also stands out because it doesn’t smell bad unlike other rebonding products. In fact, it smells pretty pleasant.

Of course, making sure the ingredients used were of top quality was not enough to make Ahglow just the best. Ahglow also made sure that it’s convenient and affordable so any Filipina can enjoy being beautiful with rebonded hair. They made the Stand-Up Pouches, which contain 165g each of Straightening Cream (No. 1) and Neutralizer Cream (No. 2) - great for single use.

To ensure that your daily maintenance and styling is also of top quality, Ahglow also came out with their Gold Titanium Straightening Iron that doesn’t snag or pull the hair. It even has a warranty to make sure that customers get the hair care that they want. Ahglow also offerskeratin based conditioners for hair repair and cuticle treatment products formulated for rebounded, relaxed, and even color-treated hair like the original Keratin Reconstructor Conditioner, Avocado Treatment Wax, and the Henna Treatment Wax.


You see, the misconception that hair rebonds last only three months is just that – a misconception. A good rebond can last a really long time if you use the right products and if you commit to maintaining rebonded hair in the long term using great products like Ahglow’s Kerafix.

Laguna Lakeshore Expressway Dike

The Laguna Lakeshore Expressway Dike  is a proposed expressway that will start from the coastal area of Laguna de Bay from Taguig in Metro Manila toCalamba and Los Baños in Laguna.
The  Laguna Dike in partnership with the Public Private Partnership (PPP) project will involve the construction of a 47-kilometre-long (29 mi), six-lane dike including bridges, pumping stations and ancillary flood gates.

This was also mentioned by President Benigno Aquino III during his State of the Nation Address (SONA)
The Laguna Lakeshore Expressway Dike will cost an estimated PHP36.74 billion or US$854.42 million.When constructed, it is expected to ease traffic congestion along Muntinlupa andCalamba area, and to serve as flood control measure for communities on the western shore of Laguna de Bay.
The route alignment starts from Bicutan, Taguig connecting to the proposed C-6 Expressway Road Project. It traverses southwards passing the city boundaries of Taguig, Parañaque and Muntinlupa in the southern part of Metro Manila and then continues further south passing the cities of San PedroBiñanSanta RosaCabuyaoCalamba and ends up at Los Baños in Laguna, near its boundary with Bay.
The construction of the expressway dike is proposed to involve two sections:
  1. from Bicutan to Calamba; and
  2. from Calamba to Los Baños.
The project details for the Expressway Dike as of October 2013 indicated plans for a 41.54-kilometre-long (25.81 mi), four-lane dike,[1] but the official announcement of the approved project in June 2014 indicated that it would be 47-kilometre-long (29 mi), and have six-lanes.
I am concerned about this project because is this the viable long-term solution? Will this not end up like the so-called Camanava flood control project, which, from the look of things, has not changed much for the said area when continuous heavy downpour occurs along with high tide? How much will this cost and how long will this be finished. The most important question is how much will we have to spend for this?

My SONA 2014 Grade

I  just had the time to read the full text of  President Benigno S. Aquino's Station of the Nation Address .In my opinion if you are running your own business in fairness the report on Economy; "nagkamit tayo ng investment grade status", is true, institutional investors as to where I'm at now in this part of the country .

I'm pretty much convinced that our economy is okay with relatively low risk on trading & agriculture. I know I gave him scathing reviews but if you read his checklist last year. In fairness to him he already achieved some of his goals.

I gave him an Overall, a B+.

Amongst other things, the SONA:

  * Lists solid accomplishments in disaster management, the economy, healthcare, education, unemployment rate, transport infrastructure, tourism volume, and tree planting
   * Outlines that seeds planted in agriculture – rice, coconut - will soon bear fruition, indeed, declares self-sufficiency in rice may soon be a reality
   * Promises complete implementation of agrarian
reform (This alone will mark PNoy as a great president.)
  * Sheds light in the energy sector and in numerous
barrios
  * Claims reduction in crime rate and illegal logging
  * Seeks to win the peace via modernization of the
armed forces
  * Extends support of the ARMM
  * Pushes Sin Tax Bill and RH (?)
  * Addresses implementation of government programs that take care of people from the womb to retirement
  * Details plan for performance-based bonuses for
government employees.  (Will this positive step end the petty corruption in public service?)
   * Promotes a strategy of forbearance with China without ceding territory
   * Cites equal application of justice to the rich and powerful and the poor

Missing are:
   * Mention of Freedom of Information Bill
   * How to address the Power Situation in Mindanao

What is remarkable is the mindset:

  * The palpable overarching goal to do good
  * The positive attitude that says “Nothing is impossible” – and proves it
  * The establishment of norms by which to measure performance
  * The recognition that the accomplishments are not the work of one man but belong to the team
  * The show of confidence combined with humility - and an absence of hubris
  * The continued attention to spirituality (in spite of negative Church meddling)
  * The gratitude to the people – the Bosses – that they are the true agents of change

The overall mood is upbeat. Let us see whether an A- can be given in the next SONA
