The scorching heat of the sun can be very damaging to the hair. The UVA and UVB rays can cause damage such as dry and brittle strands, split ends, and frizziness. To make things worse, prolonged exposure to the sun can make your scalp sweat. Going about your day with sweaty and sticky hair can be a total mood breaker. No one wants sweat-smelling hair.
Living in a country wherein extreme heat of the sun and humidity is almost all year round, sweating is inevitable unless I intend to stay in an air-conditioned room all day. As much as I find that idea enticing, I don't think I'm prepared for a shockingly high electricity bill.
As a constant shopper on Shopee, I'm always on the lookout for new things to buy. With Shopee's extensive array of product listings, it is not that hard to discover something interesting. I came across JULYME (JUL7ME) while browsing through Shopee's home page. I was quick to place my order, and in less than a week my order arrived. The fast shipping was a plus considering that the products came from Korea.
MY PURCHASE
Since the products will be coming from overseas, I decided to buy several products to save on shipping. To my surprise, I got a full-sized bottle of shampoo for free. I cannot recall the mechanics but I guess I reached a certain amount which qualified me for a free shampoo. Here's the list of products that I got:
Sunset Freesia Perfume Hair Shampoo
Sunset Freesia Perfume Hair Treatment (Conditioner)
Sunset Freesia Perfume Hair Essence (no need to rinse)
Vanilla Propose Perfume Hair Essence (no need to rinse)
Woody & Musk Perfume Hair Shampoo (free with my order)
One quick whiff on Sunset Freesia and it left a good first impression. All the scents (that I got) smell great and live up to their perfume hair name. My excitement took over that I was quick to test them out the same day I got them. Safe to say it was a happy purchase and I consider the brand my new favorite.
The shampoo, treatment, and hair essence comes in seven scents, all inspired by popular perfume brands.
SUNSET FREESIA inspired by Jo Malone English Pear and Freesia
WOODY & MUSK inspired by Diptyque Do Son
ROSE & LILY inspired by Marc Jacobs Oh, Lola!
BLACK BERRY inspired by Jo Malone Blackberry and Bay
URBAN ROSE inspired by Chanel Coco Mademoiselle
JAWS BALM inspired by Victoria's Secret Love Spell
FULL BLOOM inspired by Lanvin Eclat d'Arpège

THOUGHTS
Just to give an idea, I have extremely dry, damaged, and frizzy hair (poor hair). Regular heat-styling was to blame but I cannot avoid it since I'm out most of the time. I have been styling my hair for more than a decade and now, I'm paying the price. I simply hate having bad hair days. My all-day mood gets ruined every time I have a bad hair day.
I've been using the products for over two weeks now. Please note that this post is not an in-depth review of the products but merely an outlet to share my thoughts and experience. I have not used the products long enough to give them a full review or even notice long-term effects or benefits. I will be pointing out the things I LOVE and am NOT SO MUCH INTO.
LOVE
Lesser hair fall - I noticed that I have lesser hair fall compared to before. I guess the nature-derived ingredients are to thank. I sometimes have an exaggerated amount of hair fall so I was extremely happy to notice the (positive) difference after using the products.
Smells great - It leaves a long-lasting fragrance on my hair. I can still smell a mild scent after two days. As a bonus, the scent lingers in the bathroom for a while too. I tried walking out under the sun for a good 20 minutes and my hair still smells fine.
Less hair damage - since the majority of the ingredients are nature-derived, I feel like they are more hair friendly.
Smooth to touch - The hair treatment left my hair smooth to touch and tangle-free. I know it's not something special given that it's a hair treatment BUT it only means that it gets the job done.
Big bottles - The shampoo and treatment come in 500ml pump bottles. It will take a long while for me to finish both bottles.
Fast shipping - I was impressed with their fast shipping. The products were shipped from South Korea and arrived in the Philippines in less than a week. The products were packed well and arrived safe and sound.
NOT SO MUCH INTO
Quite pricey - it's quite expensive than my regular shampoo and conditioner but considering the size of the bottles, I think it's somehow reasonable.
Not readily available - since they don't have a physical store in the Philippines, I have to order them from Korea. Even though the products ship fast, I still have to wait for them.
ROUNDUP
Overall, I'm satisfied with my purchase. I've been using the products well for a while now and so far I'm loving my daily hair-washing experience. So far, the biggest difference I notice (compared to my old shampoo and conditioner) is that I have lesser hair fall. That's a big deal for me because I worry so much whenever I see lots of hair in the shower drain.
For days when I don't style my hair, I just slather on a little more hair essence and I let it air dry. I notice more tamed curls. I love that my hair doesn't look too frizzy.
Will I continue using the products?
ABSOLUTELY! I can't wait to try the other scents as well. I'm pretty much excited to try out their other products such as the Recovery Hair Essence, Non-Wash Hair Pack (Hair Mask), Perfume Body Wash and Body Scrub, and Perfume Body Lotion.
Please note that each hair is different. I'm basing my opinions on personal experience and what works for me may not work for others. It's still best to try out the products yourself and experience if they will work for you or not.
