Our Kind of Family Bonding: Dyeing Mom's and My Brother's Hair and Making Crispy Tortang Dulong for Dinner

20250103_155700_0000.png

One thing I noticed in my brother's rooms was his hair and skin care regimen. He has a lot of them, and seeing them made me wonder if those things are really needed, like, won't it give the skin and the hair a negative effect too? Right? I mean, if it is too much product already, even tiniest, it will still give a bad effect on the skin, for sure?

Or am I just overthinking things? But anyways, aside from being really just curious, I am also concerned. But if he's using it right now and not complaining about it, then it's all good. There's no need for concern, how about you? How many products are you using right now to take care of your skin, hair, face, or body?

As for me, I don't use products for my face aside from body soup. But I used that Ponds cream before - that was during high school. And when I sweat because of too much playing outside, my face will turn red, almost black, and a lot of people will notice it. Then if they ask me, I'll just answer that I'm using Ponds cream. Lol. I stop using it when I start college, though.


Anyways, I saw another product in my brother's bed, and when I asked, he told me that I should dye his hair because it has gray hair, so yeah, it's a colorant or hair color. And I mean, he's just 27 or 28, but he is having gray hair already. What do you think is the reason for that? Isn't it too early?

So the next day we arrived here in Lipa, I dyed his hair, and because there's some leftover, I used it on Mama's hair because she has legit gray hair now. At least for Mama, I am sure that it is because of old age that she's having gray hair now.

He actually ordered this online, and it's Bremod brand. I already used their hair shampoo and conditioner before, and I can say it is not bad. But I am not sure when it comes to their hair color. By the way, he ordered the medium brown color. And I really like that they already include a tray cup where we can mix the colorant mixture and also the hairbrush.

Here it is, he mixes these two in a 1:1 ratio, as is written in the instruction. This is so different from the hair dye that Mommy F is using. Hers is actually just a powder, and all she had to do was put water on it. It's called Bigen, by the way, and she always uses the chestnut brown color.

Dyeing their hair is actually just easy. Their hair is not that thick, that's why it is easier to finish it. Then, after the dyeing process, we used a used but clean plastic bag and let their hair rest for 25 minutes and rinse it after. And done.


So after our hair dyeing session, we then proceed to make Tortang Dulong for our dinner. Dulong is actually a fish, the tiniest one. According to Google, it is also translated as "Silver Fish." I already put the garlic, onions, pepper, and salt in it, so you can't see it that much.

We put two tablespoons of flour and then one large egg on it. Ah, I also use a small amount of MSG on it to make it tastier. Then I proceeded to fry it by putting the mixture in the pan. I used a big spoon in it to form a shape on it.

And dinner's ready! It's crispy and really tasty. Mama seasoned it well, hehe. This is best consumed right away to experience it's crispiness. After maybe 30 minutes or 1 hour, its crispiness will fade away. Well, it's not like it will taste bad if it becomes softer. It's best eaten with rice ( ◜‿◝ )♡.

It’s important to use products suited to your skin type and hair needs, and if your brother isn't experiencing any irritation or problems, it seems like he's doing okay. 😊

Es importante usar productos adecuados a tu tipo de piel y necesidades capilares, y si tu hermano no está experimentando ninguna irritación o problema, parece que lo está haciendo bien 😊.

Yeah, I didn't ask him, maybe he had to use different product to find what works best for him.

You are right, using too many products brings the risk of damage. And Doing anything for family always feels good to the heart.

Yeah, do you also have your skin or hair care routine?
