I’ve always loved having silky and neat hair. Sadly, thanks to the hot and humid weather in Singapore, my long hair turns unruly with all that messy frizz. My quest for the best frizz control over the years has included relaxing (yes, this was before rebonding!), shampoos labelled “smooth and straight” and some salon treatments like Mucota Hair Treatment. Recently, I tried the Rinka Aqua Care Hair treatment exclusively available at Kudos by Headlines Hairdressing in Chinatown. WOW! My hair feels and looks different!
Fun fact: Himari Takahashi, a female hairstylist specially formulated the Rinka Treatment. Armed with a PhD in Cosmetic Science and a passion to help others combat hair woes. I knew it was exactly what my damaged tresses needed! As a cancer survivor, she used 100% natural ingredients, making it a safe, gentle yet effective solution. This is truly an added assurance, especially for pregnant and breastfeeding mums looking to strengthen their hair from inside out. Postpartum mums may also changes to their hair conditions and physical changes to their mum bod too.
I decided to give my mane some TLC and here’s my review after experiencing this Japanese hair treatment:
Let’s Get Smooth and Strong with Rinka Aqua Care Hair Treatment
The first thing I asked when I made the appointment was: “How long will the treatment take?” Sitting for hours at the hair salon might not seem “productive”; but sometimes, I like reading magazines or working on my phone and multi-task. I even toyed with the idea of bringing my laptop along. But, it’s NOT all that a waste of time when mums should intentionally make time for themselves, right? hehe
There are several steps to the Rinka Aqua Care Hair treatment, so here’s what Ken and his team did for my mane:
Hair Consultation with Hairstylist
After examining my hair, Ken shared with me the benefits of Rinka Treatment and how it can help tackle my frizzy, damaged hair that has undergone bleaching and colouring. I was toying with the idea of doing Rinka Aqua Care C-Curls Treatment, since I’ve never done curls before. As my hair was bleached twice before, so curls aren’t recommended for now. I wasn’t ready to cut my hair short yet. Maybe next time!
From Pre-treatment Hair Wash to Unleashing the Wonders of Rinka Aqua Care Hair Treatment!
First, we kicked off with double-cleansing to eliminate dirt, grime and scalp build-up, and to prep for treatment.
Next, Ken snipped off my hair to give it a trim! A haircut helped to relieve some load off me. Anyway, I usually tie up my thick mane because it can get pretty hot these days.
This followed with the hair magic that was to come – applying the Rinka Aqua Care treatment onto my hair. This took some effort because of my thick hair HAHA. Dubbed as “liquid gold” as it harnesses the prowess of Argan Oil, known to lock in moisture within hair cells, eliminate frizz while repairing and protecting hair against UV and chemical damage. Each strand was enveloped by the treatment cream, while I waited for about 20 minutes or so.
Off I go to wash off the cream, after the timer buzzed. Then, a hair straightener was used to boost the absorption of nutrients. For a moment, it looked like my hair was being ironed and subjected to damage with that heat. I guess this step took me by surprise! HAHA.
What happened next was unexpected too! Ken repeated the application of cream onto my hair and used the straightener again! He patiently explained to my curious self that it was because my hair is thick, and hence, they had to apply the hair treatment by section. This seemingly repeated step was to ensure that all my hair was adequately treated. Talk about being meticulous!
My Hair Transformation Results: Is Rinka Aqua Care Hair Treatment Worth It?
After Ken did the final styling, I noticed a visible transformation. My hair looks softer, shinier and silkier. Ken shared that my newly nourished hair might feel a little “stiff”, and that’s normal after the treatment. After a couple of washes, my hair would feel more natural to touch – which was true! The frizz had tamed, and my locks had a healthy, natural shine and it definitely felt soft and smooth. Yay!
Penning this review of the Rinka Hair Treatment almost 2 weeks later, I’m loving how silky my hair feels! In fact, when I wash my hair, I’ve noticed lesser hair fall accumulated in the bathroom. Does that mean my locks are now stronger? Let’s see how long this smooth, healthy effect last on my hair.
If you’re struggling with dry, frizzy, or dull hair, the Rinka Aqua Care Hair Treatment in Singapore is definitely worth considering. While it’s not a permanent fix, it’s a great moisture-replenishing boost that promises to last longer than regular conditioning treatments. Understandably, results vary depending on hair type and how damaged your hair is. Results are expected to last up to 6 months! Not a fan of straight hair like me? Go for the Rinka Aqua Care C-Curls Treatment instead to enhance your feminine style while giving your hair some volume at its ends!
