PRODUCT REVIEW: CREAM SILK DRY RESCUE


I was not into hair conditioners. I can live without it as long as I wash my hair with shampoo. Shampooing removes dirt and oil, leaving hair squeaky clean. However, it can also make your strands dry. I’ve been using organic shampoo for months and I noticed that my chemically-treated hair was becoming parched and frizzy. I don’t blame the organic shampoo though. Any shampoo can really make your hair dry.

 I felt the need to use conditioners. Weeks ago, while I was searching for the best fit for my hair, I came across Sample Room’s website that offers free samples of different hair care products. I opted to try Cream Silk since it’s one of the most popular hair care products in the Philippines when it comes to conditioners. Last week, I got my free samples and tried it immediately.

Brand: Cream Silk Dry Rescue Hair Reborn Conditioner

The label claims it has customized solutions designed for Filipinas which got me because some products work differently to different races. When it comes to weather, Philippines is a tropical country and our hair is exposed to extreme heat from the sun.

The new Cream Silk with Advance Hair Reborn Technology and Moisture Lock Complex is customized with nutrients that permeate and nourish every hair strand to transform dry hair to beyond beautiful.  

Direction for use: After shampoo, massage through hair especially on ends. Rinse well after one minute. For best results, use every day.

What is my first impression on the product packaging?

I used the sample from Sample Room and it comes in a 40ml squeeze bottle. It’s so cute! I like the packaging because what you need to know about the product is there already in the product label. Indication, direction for use, ingredients, manufacturer, contact details, expiration and date of manufacturing.

What is my impression on the product when applied to hair?

When apply to hair, it does not feel greasy or warm. The truth is, I don’t like using hair care products that feel warm on my scalp.

Scent: 3 over 5. The scent is okay. It has a sweet fruity scent that is not overwhelming. The smell lasts for hours.

Shiny Hair: 3 over 5. Maybe if I use it longer, my rating would improve.

Less Dryness: 4 over 5. My hair is becoming less dry and since mine is chemically-treated it really rescued my hair.  

Soft and Smooth Hair: 4 over 5. It leaves my hair soft and smooth. I think I’m a fan now.

Over-all rating: I really like the product and I intend to use it for as long as I can. I will give it a 4 out of 5 rating. However, each hair type is different from the other. What works for me may not work for you.

***This review is based on my experience after using the product for five days.

The Top 4 Things I’ve Learned Over the Past Year

“And one day she discovered that she was fierce, and strong, and full of fire. And that not even she could hold herself back because her passion burned brighter than her fears.” -Mark Anthony 2018 was an awesome year! It’s the year I decided to make bold decisions and refocus my life. These are the top 4 things I’ve learned that I want to share with you. 1.        Career is not everything. There was a point in my life when I thought having a successful career is what matters most. I mean, having a regular pay check with incentives, car, iPad, and other perks of being a sales representative is lucrative. Yet, it cannot buy satisfaction. You will never be contented if you focus on material things and socioeconomic status. Career is not everything. When you rely too much on your job that you are afraid of losing it, then you have to refocus. Your career is imperative but there’s more to life than this. If you are no longer happy, no matter how you ...

WHAT MOTHERHOOD TAUGHT ME THAT MADE ME A BETTER INDIVIDUAL

To all mothers in every circumstance, including those who struggle- and all will- I say “Be peaceful. Believe in God and yourself. You are doing better than you think you are.” -Jeffrey Holland I grew up in an environment where women are empowered. My mom single-handedly raised us when my father died. I was only 6 that time, my younger brother at 4. Life was hard but I didn’t know that because my mother was able to conceal the ugly side of life. Fast forward to present and I am now a mother myself. My daughter will be turning 3 this May and so far, I’m still able to cope up with the hustle and bustle of motherhood. Wow!

I didn’t have a passport until just recently when I was told to get one. For me, thinking about the process and the scheduling is so tedious I rather do something else. In my mind, I didn’t have a plan to go abroad anytime soon so why bother.
