salon vim @ 313 & l'oreal mythic oil rich oil review

it came to a point i had to do something about my neglected tresses.

everything started when i saw the promotion for haircare treatment at salon vim. i knew in my gut that i had to go for the treatment, it's 30% off. and it's salon vim! i saw many bloggers and commoners (hahahaha) having their hair coloured at this salon, and oh boy, i must say they have dandy hands and awesome skills. kickass hair that blows you away, some of the customers look like mermaids, some look like psychedelic rockstars. COOLIOS.

i had wanted my hair done in a dramatic way tooo. but it's too time consuming and money consuming and i can't deny the fact that i'm too lazyyyyyyy.

***if there are kind souls out there who are affiliated to some kickass salons that houses brilliant hairstylists who can deal with naturally wavy, frizzy and rebellious hair, and would like to be my sponsor, i would gladly oblige! ^^ i'm adventurous and i can try all kinds of styles! CONTACT ME, CALL ME, MAYBEEEEE. PRETTY PLEASE. i would help publicise 3456789987654 to everyone i know/asks me/through social media platforms. ***

anyway, i got the arimino privy treatment done on my hair, it's a new technique from Japan. yeaps i've been good and i listened when the girl there explained to me. it's a 3 step procedure and it leaves your hair smooth and frizz free. check out the picture on my instagram if you haven't.

the hairs are much more obedient now, i'm so glad i could drop a tear. Thank you salon vim and yellow-coloured hair stylist FIONAAAAA :D

gonna tame the hair and grow them. i think i overdyed and spoilt my hair ;( gonnna feed them well nowww.





WHICH BRINGS ME TO L'OREAL MYTHIC OIL!!!!!!!!!!

been hearing raving reviews about this miraculous hair oil. what better way to find out if it works or not? try it on myself, that's of course.

i snapped up a bottle of the rich oil one. apparently there's a few different kinds within the mythic oil, one for colour, and a milky lotion type and maybe some others, can't recall. but you can check them out at retail shops selling beauty products or salons that carry them.

i got mine at S$18.90 for a 125ml/4fl.oz bottle. pretty pocket-friendly.







Pretty packaging, rather mystical, maybe it's the pattern l'oreal uses. loving it so far.
gold bottle, with honey looking oil inside, loving it more.
i opened the bottle and took a whiff, it has an endearing, exquisite smell which is pleasant and pleasurable. not candy like, omg i hate those.



no parabens, good.
a lot of alcohols, okay.
a bunch of natural oils at the top of the list, awesome.
made in spain, muchos buenos!!! (i took level 1 spanish before heehee)




although it's a mythic OIL. OIL. OIL. okay, you get my point.
it isn't oily or greasy or a heavy product.
it's a clear, semi-watery oil.
lightweight and easy to spread.

just to compare, the pictures of hair before & after.




the great thing about this is, you can use it on both wet and dry hair. not like oils in the past which require you to apply them before the hair turns dry.

as you see, salon vim's treatment is awesome and so is my natural hair oil. (ahem i didn't wash my hair one day after the treatment) hair is darker and smoother.

the hair after applying the mythic oil stripped off some of the oil in the hair, it wasn't as smooth anymore but my hair did not revert to its crazy frizzy nature. luckily.

in general, the mythic oil is a product you can try out. my hair was pretty wavy and not messy wavy the next morning after i applied it. no more tangles and i'm happy. but i could be happily LAH.

gonna try the mythic oil treatment next. but i'll religiously use my rich oil for now and see if the benefits show overtime. more pictures then!
