One Historic Christmas in Kawit, Cavite

Image
Kawit being a historic place, is becoming one of the favorite tourist spots in the country both local and foreign. It is really exciting to look back at the rich history, culture, and heritage of the town. The place may have been developed over the years but the traces of the important landmarks and people were preserved. I was glad to spend a day touring around Kawit experiencing its ambiance, witnessing its present beauty and learning more about Philippine history focusing mainly in Kawit, Cavite.

Three Reasons why you should use Herbal Hair Color

Image
Many of us would love to don a beautiful, shiny colored hair; however, it is important that we are cautious of the hair dyes that we are applying to our tresses. Conventional hair colors contain hydrogen peroxide and ammonia, both are chemical agents that aid in hair coloring process. Hydrogen peroxide helps pigments in our hair to be broken down, removing its natural color. Meanwhile, ammonia changes hair’s PH level. It opens the cuticle of the hair, allowing the color to penetrate and absorbed. This process causes hair to change its color. Through time, our scientists and hair experts have discovered the cons of using these two chemicals to our tresses. Repeated use of ammonia-based hair dyes can permanently damage our hair cuticles. This causes our strands to lose moisture, making them dry and brittle. Once the hair is damaged, it is irreversible. Most ammonia-based hair colors do not have necessary ingredients that protectthe strands. With the rise of herbal hair dyes, we...
