The press kit for Novuhair came with these tips for a healthy scalp and prevent hair fall. 10 tips for all of us to take care of our crowning glory:

hair care tips

1. Keep yourself hydrated and maintain a healthy diet.

This prevents your scalp from drying. Dry and dirty scalp causes dandruff flakes and itchiness.

2. Massage your scalp regularly.

This helps blood to flow in the scalp thus promoting hair growth. A good massage also soothes nerves and relaxes the muscles in your head.

3. Know the ingredients of your hair products.

Chemical-based hair products contain harmful substances that may damage your scalp and hair. Using products with natural ingredients is highly recommended.

4. Avoid using hot water.

One of the main causes of dry scalp is shampooing with hot water. This can strip essential oils from your scalp and cause dryness. Wash your hair with lukewarm water and try to avoid excessive blow drying.

5. Comb hair gently.

Hair stands must be lightly combed so the scalp won’t get damaged. It also helps if you use a good, clean comb, one that won’t hurt your scalp. By carefully combing your hair, you release essential oils which can help strengthen the hair.

6. Avoid applying hair care products directly on the scalp.

You may suffer allergic reactions if you apply hair products such as gel, wax and mouse directly on your scalp. Thoroughly wash all these products from your hair and scalp to prevent further irritations.

7. Avoid frequent hair treatments like coloring and perming.

Chemicals in hair dyes cause scalp redness and irritation. Always check with your stylist the product he uses on your hair.

8. Do not use tight caps and hats.

Frequent use of tight caps and hats causes hair fall because this cuts circulation to the hair follicles. Use caps and hats that fit perfectly.

9. Get regular hot oil treatments

A well-moisturized scalp fosters hair growth. Hot oil treatment prevents scalp dryness and helps improve over-all hair appearance.

10. Try to live a stress-free life.

It is true that stress causes hair fall. People who suffer from emotional or physical stress may experience sudden hair loss. Try relieving stress by exercising regularly, having the right diet and getting enough sleep.

These and other health tips can be also be found on nursing schools online.

1. Novuhair Topical Scalp Lotion – a review
2. Ilog Maria products: Honey Propolis Shampoo and Royal Jelly Hair Oil

Last month, I was invited for a product launch of Novuhair. Novuhair Topical Scalp Lotion by Nutramedica is a breakthrough product to prevent hair fall and hair loss. This is really interesting and I get to bring home a bottle of Novuhair Topical Scalp Lotion to try.

Novuhair Topical Scalp Lotion contains a combination of natural herbs, essential oils and co-factor nutrients which are proven effective and used for centuries to cure hair problems. Novuhair Topical Scalp Lotion penetrates deep to rejuvenate, nourish and maintain moisture in the scalp and hair. By improving blood circulation in the scalp, Novuhair Topical Scalp Lotion stimulates hair growth and prevents further hair fall. Novuhair Topical Scalp Lotion also improves the overall appearance of hair.

I just realized that hair fall and hair loss is one problem that everyone experience but hesitant to admit, hence, leaving our crowning glory just as it is without finding solutions. This is because in our household, upon introducing them to Novuhair Topical Scalp Lotion and that it’s for me to road test, they all got excited and told their hair dilemmas. My father and mother have thinning and graying hair, my long-haired husband has excessive hair fall problem while I’m suffering from post-partum hair loss.

Unfortunately, I have to pass on testing this product because from their FAQ sheet, it is not advised for breastfeeding and pregnant women.

Prior to using the Novuhair Topical Scalp Lotion, we made our room devoid of fallen hair. My husband sprayed Novuhair at night and massaged it into his scalp for a few minutes. There’s no sticky or oily feeling upon application, just the lingering scent of lemongrass. This ritual lasted for 7 days and true enough, his hair fall problem was minimized. Just a few strands of hair left on the sheets and on the floor unlike before. It is normal to shed 50 to 150 strands each day and any number beyond that is abnormal.

During the event, a lot of Q&As occurred regarding the product and also other hair problems. Ms. Sheila Mae Velilla, CEO of Nutramedica, and Dr. Rica Mallari, dermatologist, is very confident about this product because clinical studies showed 100% success rate among users.

And one testimonial came from another doctor, Dr. Peter Mallari. He experienced receding hair line at an early age because it runs in his family. He replaced his oral medication for his hair problem with Novuhair and he’s happy with the switch. He proudly showed his PRC ID as the “before photo”…

As a consumer, he told us that one bottle of Novuhair can last up to 3 months, so it’s pretty affordable in the long run.

To complement and maximize the benefits, it is now sold as a set, Novuhair Topical Hair Lotion and Herbal Shampoo for Php 3,500.

Novuhair is available in all Mercury Drug outlets nationwide, NCC Mall in Palawan and Davao City and Cory Quirino World of Wellness with branches at Scout Delgado, Quezon City, SM Fairview, SM North Edsa, Virra Mall Greenhills, Puregold Libertad and Regalo Service.com for online orders.

2. Ilog Maria products: Honey Propolis Shampoo and Royal Jelly Hair Oil

In my quest of organic shampoo, I tried using Honey Propolis shampoo from Ilog Maria. I’m also searching for a cure to my greying damaged hair due to consecutive years of hair rebonding. I wanted my hair to be free of chemicals by cutting it short and then use organic and natural hair products. After using Human Heart Nature shampoo and conditioner, I explored other options and found that Ilog Maria can now be ordered online.

Honey Propolis Shampoo, 275 grams, Php 154.00

Ilog Maria Honey Propolis Shampoo

Handmade in our Beefarm from natural ingredients: Honey for conditioning &hair growth. Propolis for scalp infections, dandruff, falling & greying hair. Natural oils like palm kernel oil, castor oil and coconut oil for gentle cleansing. Aromatherapy grade essential oils from herbs and fruits nourish and heal your scalp, while fighting skin ailments.

The amber-colored liquid and the plain looking bottle may seem unappealing but this shampoo is worth a try. First whiff of it proves that it’s different from other commercial hair products. It does not mask itself with pleasant fragrances like fruity or floral scent. In my own description, it has an earthy, herbal scent that grows on me in continued use. It also has this lingering minty feel that makes me feel refreshed and cool after each bath. The liquid is a little runny but produces a good lather. After rinsing, I felt my hair is squeaky clean, unfortunately Ilog Maria has no conditioner to go with the Honey Propolis Shampoo.

Royal Jelly Hair Oil, 60 grams, Php 121.00

Ilog Maria Royal Jelly Hair Oil

Handmade in our beefarm using rejuvenating royal jelly and a melange of tropical flower, fruit, nut & seed oils.

Rub a few drops on scalp immediately after a shower.

Rejuvenates hair follicles; nourishes scalp.

In the absence of a conditioner, and knowing that my hair will terribly go unruly without it, I apply Royal Jelly Hair Oil on my damp hair. I used this in lieu of hair shine. Just like the Honey Propolis Shampoo, it has an herby scent but I got used to it after consective uses. I may have applied too much since it always left my hair too greasy.

I like that the shampoo and hair oil are organic and natural, yet very affordable. But I wanted a shampoo and conditioner combo so I’m gonna stick with Human Heart Nature Shampoo and Conditioner.

1. Human Heart Nature Shampoo and Conditioner – a review

Human Heart Nature is a local company that sells organic, 100% Philippine ingredients and 100% chemical-free personal care products. Human Heart Nature products are one of my first few buys that are organic so I ordered trial sizes first especially their shampoo and conditioner. Trial sizes are 50 ml. and only priced at Php 29.75, (less than a dollar). After finishing up the trial sizes, I ordered full sizes, 200 ml., of Aloe Vera Nourishing Shampoo and Mango Butter Nourishing Conditioner both in Mandarin scent.

Aloe Vera Nourishing Shampoo, Mandarin scent, Php 94.75/200 ml

Aloe Vera Nourishing Shampoo in Mandarin:

Until now, only the most privileged people have been able to afford the goodness of organic shampoos. But today, for the first time, organic shampoos are now available at a price that’s affordable for almost everyone! Your hair is easily damaged by harsh chemicals in many shampoos leading to hair loss and premature hair aging. Try our 100% organic Aloe Vera Nourishing shampoo with nature’s best ingredients for soft, healthy locks and be amazed at how you can regain the shine and softness of healthy hair… and indulge in refreshingly yummy scents to reinvigorate your senses too! Choose refreshing PEPPERMINT or zesty LEMONGRASS extracts for normal finish or citrus MANDARIN extract with EXTRA VIRGIN COCONUT OIL for silky smooth hair.

The shampoo has a thick consistency with a tinge of yellow. I love the mandarin scent on my hair, it gives you a fresh clean feeling afterwards. I thought that since the shampoo is of organic kind, I don’t expect it to give a sudsy lather, but I was surprised that it lathers more than commercial shampoos I used. A pea-sized amount goes a long way. After rinsing, you’ll feel your hair to be squeaky clean and yet rough. My husband Jeff got used to it though since men generally have short hair and they don’t have to worry about conditioning their hair. But for me, I follow it up with their conditioner.

Mango Butter Nourishing Conditioner, Php 89.75/200 ml

Mango Butter Nourishing Conditioner in Mandarin:

Want soft, strong hair like Rapunzel? Mango butter heals and regenerates hair cuticles for soft, touchable hair that won’t break easily. Handy when you’ve got a handsome prince hanging on to your hair! Choose PEPPERMINT or LEMONGRASS for normal finish or MANDARIN or UNSCENTED for silky smooth hair.

Unlike the shampoo which has a thick consistency, the conditioner is a little runny with watery consistency. It still has the mandarin scent that I love. Despite its consistency, it works well and made my hair smooth and soft. The only downside is that the scent does not last long throughout the day.

Even my mother is raving about the shampoo and conditioner, at first, she was reluctant to try these. But after a few uses, she even pointed out that with continued use, her hair feels softer and became less dull and dry. One proof that patience is a virtue. At first, you won’t notice any effect on your hair but who knows, it’s working to get rid of hair’s impurities first due to use of commercial chemical-laden shampoo and conditioner.

Our whole family switched to organic hair care and is using HHN hair care line. If you want to try HHN products, you can order the trial sizes first to see what’s best for your hair type. HHN accepts credit card payments on their site.
