Foltene: Hair Treatment Specialist

Before i start my post on the Foltene hair care series, i thought this would also be a good time for me to show my readers my new hair....

Its not the change in my hair color this time BUT! a change in the style and length! YES! i've chopped more than half of my precious *took me 4 years to grow out* hair!


Hmmm..
OK not much difference..

But still.. with all my super dry ends chopped off, there is no need for rich shampoo. Of course, i would still need to have something that gives me that soft and silky hair but now i need something gentle and effective. Something that can give me soft hair and NOT oily scalp.

Oily scalp has been a huge problem for me, personally i've got oily scalp and the weather in singapore is not doing my oily scalp any better and to make my problem worse i've got really fine and thin hair. Which means oily scalp/ oily hair + fine and thin hair = FLAT HAIR!!

When i was searching for a shampoo and conditioner, Mark "the not your everyday" marketing manager came along and showered me with 2 awesome products: Foltene Restructuring Shampoo and Revitalizing Conditioner.


Left, Foltene Restructuring Shampoo (RRP :$ 38.00)
Right, Foltene Eyelash and Eyebrow Treatment
Bottom, Foltene Revitalizing Conditioner (RRP: $ 58.00)

I'm sure most of us would be most familiar with the Foltene Eyelash and eyebrow treatment as it can be seen on the cashier counters of our local pharmacy. But unknown to many of us, Foltene is one of the leading pioneers in hair treatments.

Here's some information of the Restructuring Shampoo and Revitalizing Conditioner from foltene.com.sg:





Not stated in the description above, hair care products by Foltene are SLES free. SLES is the initial for Sodium Laureth Sulfate, which is a dissolving/ foaming agent found in many personal care products. And SLES is known to cause Skin or eye irritation. So with Foltene's SLES formula, their products are suitable for all scalps including sensitive scalps.

And here's my review:

Let's start with the Restructuring Shampoo:

The first thing that came to my mind when i first set my eyes on the products are the packaging! Seriously, the packaging of most " dermatologically tested" products have no match to many of our off shelf brands that we see everyday. Even the scent and the look of the product itself is not as attractive. But dont be deceived but they "too serious and boring" look!

Sorry for my bias first impression but my initial bias-ness towards this product bite my right at the ass when i tried the shampoo. As mentioned, i had problems with the shampoo that i was using previous which was working totally fine when i still having long hair.


Foltene Restructuring Shampoo

My previous shampoo was too rich, which was good for my long and dried out hair but now that all the nasty dry ends are gone. The richness of my previous shampoo gave me oily hair problems! I had to rush home from work just to shampoo my hair before i head out for the night.

Now that i'm using Foltene, i don't have problems with oily hair. I do not have to rush here and there anymore and i do not have flat and shiny hair till the end of the day. And if you are thinking that i'm now suffering from rough dry hair... no.. my hair is soft! Soft and smooth...

I love this shampoo cause my hair no longer look flat. But there is one thing i must mention, you know how shampoo advertisement always have their model standing in the shower, shampooing their hair with luxury and rich looking foams. Please don't expect that for this shampoo cause it's SLES free!!

Next,

The Foltene Revitalizing Conditioner:


Foltene Revitalizing Conditioner

Unless any other conditioners i've used, the Foltene Revitalizing Conditioner does not give me that "i still have product on my hair after raising it" feeling. It is super easy to raise off and it is not oily at all. And since it is not oily, it's ok to have this conditioner near your scalp! Also, this conditioner also got aloe vera!! and aloe vera helps stimulate cells for hair growth! One more step to thicker hair!!

Ok apart from the Restructuring Shampoo and Revitalizing Conditioner, Foltene has get a whole range of other hair care products targeting many other hair problems. So check out Foltene's Facebook page.

Also a give away will be happening soon.. So 'Like' The Foltene Facebook page and STAY TUNED!

It's a good thing there are now online resources available that can help those who want to have hair extensions and treatments. It can save time and effort. Meeting some of the stylist’s other clients is also a good advise to prevent disaster.
