Grabe i remember bata pa ako nun, may nagupit sakin tapos sobrang iniklian. Yan lang ang naisip ko solution para humaba buhok ko. So ang funny everytime nakikita ko yung shampoo na yan
Hello guys update lang kung ok lng sa inyo HAHAHAHA eme pero ito mga napansin ko sa pag gamit ko (been using it for a few weeks na) 1. Mas naging malago hair ko, manipis lang kasi hair koo and bagsak talaga siya like walang volume and nagkaroon me ng mga baby hairs. 2. The scent of the shampoo is bearable for me naman. 3. Tama nga yung ibang nag sasabi na nakaka-dandruff siya 🥹 tho sa akin naman napansin ko super subtle lang. 4. Ang pinaka ayoko lang is nangangati ng sobra anit ko, specifically sa bunbunan ko huhu Overall, ok talaga siya sa pag papahaba. Ang ginagawa ko nalang ngaun is hindi ko na siya ginagamit daily (dati kasi MWF lang ako gumagamit ng shampoo) ginagamit ko nalang siya tuwing TTH, tapos scalp nalang talaga sinasabunan ko tas sa conditioner naman dalawa kasi ginagamit ko tsubaki gold tas coconut conditioner, everyday use yan, salitan tapos tips lang ng hair. Masinsinan lang na banlaw pag sa shampoo, medyo maligamgam na water gamit ko sa pag banlaw. Siguro pagkaubos ko nyan, switch ako sa iba pang suggestions na sinasabi dito sa thread. Thank you 💗
