A Modern Filipina’s Guide to Dandruff-Free, Luscious Locks in 2018

With one month down the line this 2018, have you started ticking off boxes from your new year’s resolution? Once the new year kicks in, people usually create new goals, embrace positive chance, and focus on becoming a better version of themselves – whether it means exploring new job opportunities, creating a habit of living a fit and healthy lifestyle, or learning something new. Filipinas, the new year can also mean breaking bad hair care habits and saying goodbye to dry, itchy and damaged hair with visible white flakes.

To keep the ball rolling, it’s time for Filipinas to improve their hair care routine to keep the scalp flake and itch-free. Head and Shoulders, the world’s number one shampoo brand, asked three social media influencers their secret to maintaining lusciously soft and beautifully moisturized hair to come up with a brief guide to keeping a woman’s crowning glory healthy and dandruff-free this year.

On Brushing the Hair

Brushing has been proven to benefit the hair. Model and filmmaker Janina Manipol can attest to that as she makes it a habit to comb her long, straight hair to redistribute the oil from her scalp. She explained, “I make it a point to comb it [hair] in the morning, afternoon and evening, so that the oil in my scalp evens out all throughout my hair.”

Just like Janina, digital media influencer and vlogger Haley Dasovich shares the same secret in maintaining the lusciousness of her long locks from morning until night. “I keep my hair routine simple but I make sure I keep my curls stay bouncy and not tangled by combing my hair not just during the day but also before I sleep.” Haley said.

On Washing and Drying the Hair

For some, keeping the natural gloss of the hair may not be easy to do, but Haley has found a way to solve it. She shared, “I wash my hair with shampoo and conditioner every 2 to 3 days. And on days when I use conditioner I make sure to evenly coat the body of my hair to its tip and leave it on for a few minutes for my hair to fully absorb.”

When drying the hair, model and actress Chie Filomeno told us how she keeps her hair strands free from damage. “With shoots here and there, my hair is often exposed to heat from blowers and hair irons. But during my off duty days I really believe in air drying versus heated drying to keep my hair’s natural beauty and lush.” Chie said.

On Investing in Quality Hair Care Products

No matter what your lifestyle is, may it be being a model and actress, a YouTube content creator or filmmaker, investing in quality hair care products is a non-negotiable to have beautifully moisturized locks and a flake-free scalp that can keep up with your daily routine. And Chie, Haley and Janina know this very well. Janina added, “Keeping my hair healthy and dandruff free 24/7 is difficult, but investing in good brushes and products like Head and Shoulders Suprême help ease that process. I hear Argan is all the rave in beauty nowadays and I’m glad that this product has just that.”

This 2018, Filipinas need not to worry about their luscious locks. With the new Head and Shoulders Suprême, hair and scalp are nourished and deeply moisturized. It is the brands first ever premium line of shampoo and conditioner specifically designed for the needs of women.    

The new formula contains proven and effective Micro Zinc technology for greater cosmetic hair care benefits while caring for the scalp, and Argan Oil essence which is known for its moisturizing effect as well as hair repair and scalp benefits.

Head and Shoulders Suprême range has two variants. The Head and Shoulders Suprême Moisture shampoo and conditioner which provides intense moisture to the hair from root to tip and Head and Shoulders Suprême Smooth shampoo and conditioner that smoothens hair from the scalp to achieve perfectly polished hair all day.

With the new Head and Shoulders Suprême and healthy hair care habits, Filipinas can finally say goodbye to dandruff and dry hair this 2018 because every woman’s crowning glory is guaranteed to be moisturized and lusciously soft.

Head & Shoulders Suprême shampoo and conditioner is available at Php150 SRP per 170ml bottle in all major supermarkets, sari-sari stores, drugstores, and convenience stores nationwide, as well as on ecommerce at http://www.lazada.com.ph/head-and-shoulders-official-store/

Lucky LBC Customers in Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia Receive Grand Prizes

LBC brought joy to their loyal customers in various parts of the globe when they awarded the grand prizes of the promotions they conducted in Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia.

The Stampadala promo gave LBC-HK customers transacting sea and air cargo and money remittances a chance to win prizes by simply sending their “padala” to loved ones in the Philippines.

Each qualified transaction corresponded to a single stamp, regardless of amount. After completing the required number of stamps, customers could exchange these for scratch cards which won for them instant prizes from LBC. It also served as their raffle coupon for the monthly and grand draws.

For the monthly raffle, winners received free remittance passes and free mini-box and medium box shipments to the Philippines.

For the Grand Draw,  ten lucky winners were each given an android phone. Another set of ten winners won grocery packages enclosed in LBC boxes, ready for sending to recipients in the Philippines.

Meanwhile, many hardworking OFWs in Singapore and  Malaysia were also given appreciation by LBC when it awarded the grand winners of its promo billed “ May Instant Holiday Ka sa ‘Yong PADALA” last December. The tilt, held between September 1 and December 1, 2017, was a collaboration with Philippine Airlines (PAL).

To qualify and get a raffle entry, LBC customers in the two countries only needed to make sea or air cargo transactions.

For Singapore, PAL roundtrip tickets were each given to the two grand draw winners. The 2nd  prize winner took home a 32-inch TV while the 3rd prize winner received an android phone.  For Malaysia, one lucky LBC patron won a PAL roundtrip ticket,  while the 2nd and 3rd prize winners were awarded with a 32-inch TV and android phone, respectively.

Globe blocks nearly 2,500 illegal sites with #PlayItRight

Globe Telecom stepped up its drive versus illegal content by blocking a total of 2,471 domains or sites in 2017 that hosted lewd content and child pornography as part of its #PlayItRight advocacy campaign.

The company has taken a stronger stance to combat child pornography by blocking websites and related content as stipulated in the implementing rules and regulations of Republic Act 9775 or the Anti-Child Pornography Act of 2009. “As a purpose-led organization, we have a responsibility to ensure that our products and services will not be used for illegal activities. Globe Telecom is strongly committed to help address child pornography in the country,” said Yoly Crisanto, SVP for Corporate Communications. She emphasized that the company will actively look out for illegal sites that contain vulgar content involving children.

Having partnered with global and local content creators and distributors for its content business, Globe has also taken an active role in promoting legitimate sources of online content. In 2017, the company launched the #PlayItRight advocacy to help the entertainment industry curb piracy and protect intellectual property rights. “Our advocacy #PlayItRight goes beyond anti-piracy, it also aims to protect customers against malware and other cyber security threats that normally accompany illegal content or torrenting sites,” Crisanto revealed.

“With today’s highly accessible and affordable data and content packages, downloading content from legitimate sources has become so easy and convenient,” she said. “As more mobile and home broadband customers get used to streaming videos on their devices, it is imperative for us to provide our customers with safe and quality content, at the same time, protect the sources of original content including the licensed content of its global partners,” she added.

She said that the #PlayItRight campaign sends a strong message to the public to consume digital content the right way. “We want everyone to consciously behave positively online and stop illegal torrents or other illegitimate online sources. Let’s create new habits that would encourage people to create original content more and give them what’s rightfully due them,” she said.

In 2014, Globe introduced Spotify that changed the way Filipinos download music, helping curb illegal download of mp3 music from illegitimate sources.
