Product Review: Biolink VCO Hot Oil Conditioner

It’s not intentional, but the fact that my second product review is another hair-care product is quite telling. Pinoys–especially Pinoy women–really take pride in their hair. Just within a one kilometer radius of my home in Mandaluyong, you can find about five or six hair salons!

I don’t know if I fit the stereotype of the hair-obsessed Pinay–I don’t like having long, straight hair (I prefer my hair short, but my mother insists I look better with long hair), I don’t like combing often, I’m not obsessed with making my hair look shampoo-commerical perfect, and I rarely go to the salon/parlor. Thrice a year is about it for me.

I am still fond of hair products, though–and thus without intending it, the review below is for a conditioner–to match with the shampoo review. Hehehe.

The fact that I even tried Biolink VCO Hot Oil Conditioner is proof of the effectivity of product sampling. I received a free sachet while walking through a mall one day, used it while at the beach, and liked what I saw.

Product Review: Human Nature Moisturizing Shampoo (Aloe Vera, Egg Whites, Guava)

I first heard of the Human Nature line from my friend and colleague  R., who blogs at PinoyBaby.com. As you can probably tell from the title of her blog, she’s a mother to a wonderful 5 month old baby boy, and she blogs about her experiences as a first-time mom. She had only good things to say about using Human Nature’s baby shampoo on her son, and I thought of giving it a try as well. I selected this particular variant of the many Human Nature shampoos because my hair tends to get dry easily, and because I get dandruff easily as well.
