Crowning Glory: Quick fix for hair loss

People with thinning hair rejoice! A new and innovative remedy for hair loss was launched recently at the Shangri-La Plaza Premiere Theater in Mandaluyong City.

Crowning Glory is a simple, safe, and natural way to have fuller and thicker looking hair in seconds. It provides a quick fix for men and women with thinning hair who want to look good in a flash. What’s more, it can be used together with established oral and topical hair loss treatments that take time to work and produce varying results.

The secret lies in Crowning Glory’s hair building fibers that instantly fill in balding or thinning areas. It is made from natural fibers that are charged with static electricity and bind naturally to hair to produce dramatic density, volume, and natural-looking hair instantly.

“A lot of men and women suffer from balding or thinning air. There are a number of remedies on the market, but these require a long waiting time before you get the results you need. Some quick fixes don’t look natural,” says Angelo Valenton, managing director of Connect Research Corporation, distributor of Crowning Glory in the Philippines.

To use, simply hold the Crowning Glory container three to six inches above your head and sprinkle it liberally on the thinning area. The fibers blend naturally with your hair. Gently pat the area to distribute the fibers evenly throughout the area and use Crowning Glory hair mist spray, should you need extra hold, for instance when going out for outdoor activities. In just seconds, you’ll improve your appearance, look years younger, and regain your confidence. It’s like getting two years on a hair growth treatment in a few seconds.

The fibers are undetectable and can withstand wind, rain, and perspiration, especially when used with Crowning Glory hair mist, but you can easily remove the fibers with any shampoo. You can style your hair anyway you want with an open, plastic, non-bristle brush.

Crowning Glory will initially come in black and dark brown colors and will be available at leading pharmacies, convenience stores, supermarkets, and salons. For more information on Crowning Glory, call 637-5181, 633-6165, 638-4234 or e-mail helpdesk@connectplace.com.

L'oreal Revitalift: Less wrinkles, more firmness

Skin lift minus surgery: L’Oreal Revitalift stimulates skin’s eight natural lifters to help skin regain its elasticity and firmness.

Within the skin are eight natural lifters — markers of skin’s youth. With time, their production declines and they fail to fulfill their auto-lifting role. And now, L’Oreal Paris introduces the first technology that stimulates skin’s eight natural lifters to help skin regain its elasticity and firmness: Revitalift Dermalift. The Dermalift technology reboosts the production of the eight natural lifters within the skin, even in its deepest layers.

Revitalift Intensive Night Repair Serum is a unique, rich serum texture that immediately transforms into a watery, fast-penetrating formula to act inside the epidermis to boost your skincare. It has 10x active ingredients for intensive repair, and optimizes efficiency by multiplying the result of the skin care used on top. The unique transparent and moisturizing texture absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving it soft and smooth. Night after night, it intensively repairs eight key zones, resulting in less wrinkles, more firmness, leaving a transformed younger- looking radiant skin.
