Dear Friends
It's mid July already. What have you been up to? Hope that you still stick to your new year resolution ...forgotten already? It's time to do a mid-year review.
Alright. Not to bore you too much with my reminders. Today, I will share about the Redken Diamond Oil launch party which was held at Stage Club, Avenue K. It was my first time going to that place.
The event was interesting. There was a guessing game to guess how many ml of Diamond Oil which was stored in a large container. Too bad my guess was wrong. My math was a bit rusty and I forgot to times the 100ml despite the many reminders. I guess the music was too loud. (lame excuse).

Redken Diamond Oil is silicon-free and it promises 3x stronger and 2x shinier hair. Diamond Oil contains coriander, camelina and apricot oils. Each oil has different molecular weight that allows them to penetrate deep into different layers of the hair fibre. It nourishes and strengthens hair strands from the inside out and leaves hair with intense, diamond-like shine.
Usage Direction:
Apply 2-3 drops on dry
or damp hair concentrating on the mid-lengths and ends. Re-apply on dry hair
as needed.

I have copied the usefeful FAQ for your reference:
What hair types is
Diamond Oil recommended for?
Diamond Oil is perfect
for dull/damaged hair. The Shatterproof Shine oils are extremely flexible
products that can be paired with any of the ranges, shampoos, conditioners, or
treatments within the Redken haircare portfolio for added shine and strength.
Shatterproof Shine is for Normal-Fine hair and Shatterproof Shine Intense is
for Coarse hair.
What is the Shine Strong
Complex?
The Shine Strong Complex
is a combination of Coriander Oil, Camelina and Apricot Oils. Coriander Oil
smoothes just below the cuticle to boost shine. Camelina Oil fills in gaps at
the peripheral layer to soften. Apricot Oil penetrates uniformly through
multi-layers to the core to condition from the inside out.
What is the difference
between the Apricot Oil in Clear Moisture and Diamond Oil?
Apricot Oil in Clear
Moisture is synthesized with other key ingredients to work as a lightweight
moisturizing ingredient and in Diamond Oil Apricot Oil penetrates uniformly
through multi-layers to the core to condition from the inside out.
How do different types
of oils penetrate the hair shaft while others sit on the cuticle?
Oils contain a mixture
of fatty chains which are all different length and sizes. Oils with high
content of small fatty chains penetrate into the cortex of the hair while oils
that contain a high content of large fatty chains tend to lay on the surface of
the hair fiber.
Are there oils that are
better for fine hair versus coarse hair?
The combination of oils
used in Diamond Oil (coriander, camelina and apricot) were optimized for
different hair types, oils were mixed with specific ratios to provide the hair
with shine and strength without adding weight or greasiness. The intense oil
was optimized for coarse hair types and the medium oil was optimized for normal
to fine hair types.
What are the
characteristics or benefits of professional oils, i.e. better quality, higher
concentration, or grade?
Diamond Oil contains no
additives or modifiers. The treatment range consists of a concentrated blend of
oils.
How do silicones and
oils live together in the same product, what are the benefits of having both?
Oils and silicone are
miscible and can coexist in the same product. Silicones offer great shine and
feel on hair but their effect is mostly cosmetic. Oils offer shine along with
repairing benefits due to their penetration into the hair fiber.
What is IPN? What
products include IPN?
The Interlock Protein
Network is the new Redken Haircare delivery system containing Keralink, Amino
Acids and Protein to improve formula efficacy, help rebuild surface protection
and strengthen hair to the core. It replaces the existing Interbond
Conditioning System.
Why is IPN not included
in Shatterproof Shine Oil?
IPN is in the Shampoo,
Conditioner, and Deep Facets mask formulas. It is the delivery system that
drives the ingredient in haircare. IPN is not in Shatterproof Shine Oils as the
formula is 99% oils, and IPN is not soluble in oil.
Is this shampoo for
everyday use? I have heard that shampooing everyday can lead to dull hair.
It is safe to use
Diamond Oil shampoo daily, as it is formulated with oils and ingredients rich
in nourishing and conditioning agents to ensure your hair is shiny and
protected.
How does the Diamond Oil
range protect my hair from mechanical damage?
Diamond Oil provides
nourishment, conditioning and strength. Simultaneously, oils form a protective
barrier on the surface of the hair, locking out humidity and harmful elements,
and reducing the hair’s exposure to friction while combing, brushing, etc.
If oil remains on the
surface of the hair, won’t it make my hair greasy and weigh it down?
The oil that resides
closer to the surface of the hair, coriander oil, helps to seal the cuticle in
a lightweight but powerful veil of moisture and shine that protects the hair
against mechanical damage without feeling or appearing greasy or adding weight.
(as a regimen)
Are there any silicones
in the Shatterproof Shine Oils?
No, treatment oil
contains no silicones and is comprised of 99% oils.
Is Diamond Oil safe for
use on color treated hair?
Yes, the Diamond Oil
range is safe for use on color treated hair, and will not lead to fading or
discoloration, in fact it enhances the radiance of haircolor.
