Bonacure Moisture Kick Shampoo



After read so many girls opinion about some recommended shampoos, I decided to try Bonacure shampoo from schwarzkopf. It is quiet difficult to get it since it is usually not available in stores. But finally I managed to order it from an online shop.

As the beginning, I ordered Bonacure Moisture Kick which is targeted for dry, naturally curly or permed hair (though my hair type is actually normal to oily). It treats hair with:

  • Pro-Vitamin B-3 provides an excellent source of nutrients
  • Pro-Vitamin B-5 provides moisture
  • Amino acid penetrates & repair inner hair structure
  • Milk Q Protein provides vital moisture & nutrition
The scent is very good thus gives relaxing experience of shampooing.

It doesn't lather well. I need to pour a bit much to ensure that I wash all part of my hair properly.

The Result

  • Hair strands feels smooth and moist
  • The moisture is long lasting
  • Hair become more manageable and easy to comb
  • Hair looks more volumized
  • Hair looks shiny yay!
It really seals moisture in hair strands. I do notice that my hair look more shiny and volumized after using it. Besides, it makes my hair strand become less tangle. I was riding motorcycle with my father for about 20 minute without using helmet. But my hair kept tangle free though it was blown by hard wind during the trip.

The Skin Food Hop Beer Hair Wash

A girl in female forum I join told me that using cheap and inexpensive shampoo may cause the hair is contaminated by silicone. Silicone (known as dimethicone) is added to give smooth appearance. Regular shampoo usually can’t fully wash the hair to rid the buildup of hair products that can remain in our hair. Buildup may also occur from conditioners, hair spray, hair gel, chlorine, and other styling products. As the result, hair may look dull after a while. Therefore, we need to sometimes wash our hair with deep cleansing shampoo to get rid those impurities.

I got three samples sachet of Hop Beer Hair Wash from The Skin Food as gift of my purchase. It is shampoo which is enriched with beer extracts, keratin protein, rosemary extracts to thoroughly cleanse scalp, nourish hair, strengthening hair, and provide intensive treatment to damaged hair.

Product Description
Good for all hair types, but especially hair-loss, this new shampoo rids hair of product buildup environmental impurities.
Hop Beer Hair Wash clears and clarifies the hair while Beer, Copper peptide, Vitamin-H and Herbal Extracts nourish and protect it.



Instruction
Apply a spoonful of shampoo to wet hair, and massage to foam. Rinse thoroughly.

Size 240ml

The product texture is sheer, light-brown colored, and has strong weird scent. It smells like herbal or traditional medicine, nice but a bit weird. Some people may dislike the fragrance, but for me, it makes my washing time become fun. The aroma is pleasant and relaxing (at least for myself :p). It foams quiet much unless you pour a very few amount that is not enough for your whole hair.

As per the description, the product claims to cleanse hair by removing the build-up of hair products. Removing these impurities will allow hair treatment and styling products to work more effectively.

I personally don’t really aware whether it works to remove hair impurities or not, but my hair locks indeed feels lighter, more bouncy, clean, and actually a bit dry when I use the product. Besides, it also makes my hair become softer and more manageable. I personally don’t get any complaint such as hair loss or anything else while using this product.

The smell could be nice for some people, but could be very disturbing for the others since it is quiet intense. I still smell the aroma at the next day, and since I like it, it’s a pleasant thing for me. But for them who don’t like traditional medicine smelling, this could be annoying.

That’s all that I can share. Unfortunately I only got few samples, so actually it’s hard to say if it will be good for long term use or not.
I do a little search and find that copper peptide is indeed known to treat hair scalp and prevent hair loss. Unfortunately I don’t buy the full size product so I can’t test whether it works or not.

Damaged Hair

Damage to the hair is usually caused by heat, UV rays, or chemicals products. Poor diet might also contribute to damaged hair. Specifically if the body gets poor supplies of proteins and essential fatty acids. I suffered with dry and damaged hair in my past. Even I trimmed the tip of my hair regularly; my hair would be bad soon.

In the middle of my university study, I found Mylea hair mask I got when visiting a barber shop. This hair mask was really good. It successfully reborn my hair after I finished one tube. But I never continued to the next tube since I couldn’t find the product everywhere. It led me to my genuine condition: damaged and dry hair.

That was my hair condition in the past. But now, after knowing how to treat my hair, I can be happy with healthier hair. These all the tips I want to share based on my experience in the hair treatment:
  • Avoid blowing dry. If we have to, set the blow dry on the cool mode
  • Use conditioner regularly. It helps not only to soften the hair texture, but also give nutrition. For greasy hair, apply the conditioner on the hair tips only. Do not apply on the hair scalp, otherwise you will get
  • Never brush damp hair. If you have to, use a wide toothed comb. Damp or wet hair is fragile
  • Do additional treatment such as creambath once a month. A little tip: do not steam your creambathed hair if you experience with hair loss. Use the hot steamed towel instead
  • Avoid the direct sun light. Use hat as the protection or use conditioner with UV filter
  • Use the hair vitamin serum regularly after shampoo
  • Blot hair dry with a towel instead of rub since wet hair is more fragile
