Monea Powerdose in Hair Repair - Review and Photos

Tweet

Beauty enthusiasts or even those who just love to style their hair is prone to hair damage. Actually, even those who don't use hot tools, are still prone to this nightmare. Did you know that drying your hair with your towel (turban style, or rubbing it on your hair/scalp) causes damage? Even the humid weather and pollution causes damage. With all these laid out, a damage repair treatment is a must for our hair.

Monea Powerdose Hair Repair is my first variant from Monea. I've been using this since last year, and I love how it really softens and repairs my damaged tresses. The scent is a little powerful, almost similar to the ones they use at the salon, but I really don't mind it at all. I would also suggest that you avoid your scalp/root area because using too much of this can weigh your hair down (as all hair treatments). I bought this from Watson's. This one and the purple one  are the common variants in Watson's / SM Store.

Monea Powerdose products are very affordable, and they work just as good as their expensive counterparts. So far, I'm really happy with the 3 variants that I have. :)

  I will definitely repurchase!

Monea Powerdose in Hair Color Protect - Review and Photos

Tweet

I've been constantly asked on how I care for my hair. A few years back, I experimented with curling irons/wands and flat irons to achieve my signature big curls. My love for gorgeous hairstyles lead me to dyeing them, lighter every time. Now that it's golden blonde, I noticed (and expected) dryness in my hair. I also noticed that my hair color gets dull over time, sooo I went ahead and searched for products that will prevent further damage, and avoid getting a brassy hair color.

I've been loving Monea Powerdose products, especially the Soft & Bouncy and Damage Repair (review up next), so I went ahead and tried this one which will address my hair color issue.

Monea Powerdose Hair Color Protect is a treatment that's specific for colored hair. It aims to protect and maintain the luster of the color. It's consistency is pretty similar to the usual hair conditioner. I really love this variant. It smells like bubblegum and leaves my hair soft, yummy smelling, and gorgeous even the day after. What I love more about it? It's so affordable! I also noticed that my hair color (since dyeing it a month ago) isn't as brassy as I would've expected. I've been using this for almost a month now, FYI.

 Monea Powerdose Hair Color Protect 

PROS: makes my hair soft, prevents my blonde hair turning into brassy, smells like bubblegum, affordable, locally available

CONS: I only saw this at Landmark Trinoma

VERDICT:

  I will definitely repurchase!

Monea Powerdose Plus Hair Treatment "Soft and Bouncy" - Review and Photos

Ever heard of power dose hair treatment?

The first time I heard of this treatment was when I was in college. I was in one of those salons that attracts customers with their relatively cheap packages. I was having my hair relaxed then plus a cellophane. The stylist suggested that I get a powderdose treatment to seal in my hair cuticles and prevent damage. When I asked him how much is that treatment, he said it's PHP500/vial, and because I have thick hair, 2 vials are needed. As a college student, that was too pricey for me so I skipped the offer.

Years later, I saw my officemates' interaction on facebook. They were talking about this effective and affordable powerdose product, and since I've been dyeing my hair for less than a year now, I was intrigued. I googled the product they wre talking about, and I remembered seeing those at Watson's. They were talking about Monea Powerdose products.

They have different variants that's specifically designed for particular needs. I bought the "damage repair" and the "soft and bouncy" variants. This post is about the latter. :)

Monea Powerdose Soft & Bouncy, self explanatory, makes your hair soft and bouncy. I especially love this variant because it doesn't weigh down my hair, unlike other hair treatments that I use.
It's not greasy at all. Its consistency is thinner than the usual creamy conditioners, but its not too thin that its runny. I also love the refreshing green apple scent. I use this at least once a week (leave it on my hair for 20mins), whenever I have the luxury of taking a long bath. It's also pretty simple to use. It's quite affordable and Watson's carry them. My only woe with this one is that not all Watson's stock up on this variant. I think their popular one is the violet bottle (for sleek and straight hair).

Monea Powerdose Soft & Bouncy

PROS: softens and moisturizes my hair without leaving it heavy and limp, doesn't cause excess oil and dandruff, smells really good, affordable, locally available

CONS: It's one of Monea's hard-to-find variants :(


VERDICT:

  I will definitely repurchase!
