Top Japanese hairstyling brand Lucido-L makes sparkling debut

One of Japan’s top ladies’ hairstyling brands and Singapore’s no.1 ladies’ hairstyling brand is now available in the Philippines.

Lúcido-L Hair Supplement gives soft, manageable, beautiful hair, lessening the hassles and reversing the damage brought about by other hair treatment products.

According to Hirotsogu Ohashi, general manager for Mandom Philippines Corporation, Lúcido-L, “aims to provide long-lasting, moisturizing treatment by restoring your hair’s natural moisture- retaining system.”

At the recent launch of Lúcido-L, Ohashi explains, “The main reason for split ends and curls falling flat is lack of moisture in our hair.”

Healthy hair should have the ability to retain moisture. This is where the Cell Membrane Complex, or CMC, plays a vital role. A CMC-like ingredient is present in all Lúcido-L products.

Ohashi explains, “CMC exists among cuticles and cortex cells to help them bond with each other, and also works as a path to transport water to cells.  When CMC is lost due to hair damage, cuticles and cortex cells break away, reducing the water-maintaining ability of the hair.”

Lúcido-L Hair Treatment Oil is recommended for permed hair and helps maintain a soft, bouncy look. It softens and smoothens by repairing dry and damaged hair while you sleep, as CMC-like ingredients fill up the damaged strands.

Lúcido-L Hair Styling Milk is for girls who want pretty, tamed hair all day long. It contains hyaluronic acid that coats and deeply penetrates hair strands, keeping them soft and tangle-free.

Mandom Philippines Corporation is a production partner of Mandom Corporation, an Osaka-based manufacturer and distributor of hair care, skincare, perfumes and deodorants, cosmetics, and other personal care products.

Lúcido-L Hair Make Supplement is exclusively available at all Watsons outlets.

Kerastase gives hair a 24-carat shine

Kerastase presents a new range of legendary oils for a 24-carat indulgence. Since its launch in 2010, Elixir Ultime has become the new star product of Kerastase. A must-have product for hairdressers, it is an icon of beauty and sensuality for many celebrities and women around the world.

And now, Elixir Ultime introduces its Sublime Cleansing Oil Shampoo (P1,483) and Beautifying Oil Masque (P2,708).

As with 24-carat gold, the ingredients in Elixir Ultime are of the utmost purity. It’s most prized for its exclusive core formula of four highly concentrated precious oils: pracaxi oil from the Amazonian regions known for its antioxidant benefits; argan oil, one of the rarest oils in the world prized for its reparative and regenerative properties; maize oil, rich in vitamins A, E, and omega 6 to nourish hair; camellia oil to give magnificent shine and suppleness to the hair.

The 24-carat ritual starts with a double application of Elixir Ultime shampoo. Next, a dose of Elixir Ultime original shampoo oil is blended with the masque in a bowl. The Kerastase hairdresser applies this treatment lock by lock with a spatula, delicately massages the hair, and then rinses thoroughly. The ritual ends with the application of the Elxir Ultime oil that best suits the individual needs of the hair.
