De-stress your hair

MANILA, Philippines - Smoking, eating processed foods and having an inactive, stressful lifestyle exposes us to free radicals: molecules that attack cells that can potentially harm their DNA. This shows up in weakened skin and hair. Turn to lycopene, the bright red pigment found in tomatoes which has been linked to various health benefits — now in a salon hair treatment. “Chihtsai’s Lycopene Hair Treatment is a pre or post-hair color treatment, helping to protect and maintain hair color,” says Chihtsai brand distributor Zerline Chan. “It repairs hair and shields it from further damage.” The treatment is suitable for chemically treated and frizzy hair.

Chihtsai is a professional hair brand from Taiwan whose fans include Jennifer Lopez (who uses the RD cream, unfortunately not carried here) and Korean actor Lee Byung-Hun.

P700 (short hair), P800 (medium), P900 (long), available at Azta Urban Salon, Eastwood City and Alabang Town Center.
