Curly hair is beautiful, unique, and full of personality—but let’s be real, it also needs a whole lot of TLC. As someone who has spent years trying different products and routines, I’ve finally found a go-to that works wonders for my curls and that is the Bremod Argan Oil.

Whether I’m going for a fresh wash-and-go or trying to tame frizz during Cebu’s humid days, this product has become a staple in my curly hair care routine. Let me walk you through how I use it—and why I love it so much!

My Curly Hair Care Routine with Bremod Argan Oil

1. Cleansing & Conditioning

I start with a sulfate-free shampoo and a rich conditioner, making sure to finger-detangle while my hair is still soaking wet. Hydration is key for curls, so I never skip deep conditioning at least once a week!

2. Towel-Drying (with a Twist)

Instead of using a regular towel, I use a microfiber towel or an old cotton shirt to avoid frizz and breakage.

3. Applying Bremod Argan Oil

While my hair is still damp, I take 2–3 pumps of Bremod Argan Oil and smooth it over my curls, focusing on the ends and dry areas. Sometimes I mix it with my leave-in conditioner for extra moisture.

4. Styling & Defining

I use my favorite curl cream or gel to define my curls. The argan oil helps lock in moisture and gives my hair a gorgeous, natural shine.

5. Air-Drying or Diffusing

Depending on my mood (and schedule), I either let my hair air-dry or diffuse on low heat. No matter what, my curls come out soft, bouncy, and frizz-free.

My Honest Review of Bremod Argan Oil

If you’re curious about trying it out, here’s a quick breakdown of my thoughts:

Pros:

• Lightweight and non-greasy

• Instantly softens and smooths curls

• Helps reduce frizz and adds shine

• Smells so good!

• A little goes a long way

Cons:

• May feel too heavy for very fine hair (use less!)

• Not always available in smaller stores—best to order online or from resellers

⭐ Overall Rating:

4.8/5 Stars

Bremod Argan Oil has truly elevated my curly hair game. I love how it nourishes my hair without weighing it down, and it works well in hot or humid weather too. Definitely a must-have in my beauty stash!

Where to Buy:

I usually get mine from beauty supply stores in Cebu or Shopee/Lazada. Make sure you’re buying from a trusted seller to avoid fakes!

Samsung is officially launching the Galaxy A56 5G and A36 5G in the Philippines on March 17, and I got a sneak peek at these two mid-range powerhouses. Let me tell you—I was seriously impressed with what they bring to the table, especially with all the new AI features! 😍

First Things First The Looks & Display

I’m a sucker for a good-looking phone, and both the A56 and A36 do not disappoint! They come in gorgeous pastel and classic colors, with that premium-looking matte finish that feels super nice in the hands. Plus, they’re water and dust-resistant (IP67 rated), which means they can survive a little accidental splash—because let’s be real, life (and kids!) can get messy. 😆

The 6.7-inch AMOLED display on both phones is STUNNING. The 120Hz refresh rate makes scrolling feel buttery smooth, whether you're swiping through TikTok or binge-watching your favorite Netflix series. Trust me, once you experience a high refresh rate, you can’t go back.

Performance Snappy & Smooth

Under the hood, these two phones are surprisingly powerful for their price range.

• A56 5G runs on Samsung’s Exynos 1580 chip (which feels super fast!).
• A36 5G has a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 (also solid for everyday use!).
• Both come with 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage—plenty of space for all your apps and selfies.

I opened multiple apps, played some Genshin Impact, and scrolled endlessly on Instagram—everything felt smooth. No weird lags or hiccups.

Both the Galaxy A56 5G and A36 5G feature a sleek design with a 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display, offering a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling and vibrant visuals. The A56 5G is available in Awesome Light Gray, Awesome Graphite, and Awesome Pink, while the A36 5G comes in Awesome Lavender, Awesome Black, and Awesome White. Both models are IP67-rated for dust and water resistance, ensuring durability in various environments.

Camera 

AI Makes You Look Good (Even on a Bad Day) 📸

Okay, now let’s talk about what matters to most of us—THE CAMERA.

• Both the A56 and A36 come with a 50MP main camera that takes super sharp and vibrant shots.
• There’s also a 12MP ultra-wide lens (great for group shots or travel), plus a 5MP macro lens for those artsy close-ups.

The 12MP front camera has this "Best Face" AI feature that automatically picks the best expressions in a group shot. You know how someone always blinks or looks awkward in photos? Well, this feature fixes that—and I love it! 😍

There’s also AI-powered object removal (so you can erase photobombers easily) and AI-enhanced photo filters that instantly make your pics look Instagram-ready. No need for third-party apps!

The camera systems on these devices have seen significant improvements. Both models feature a 50MP main camera, complemented by a 12MP ultra-wide lens and a 5MP macro sensor. The front-facing camera is a 12MP shooter, equipped with AI-powered features like the Best Face tool, which selects the optimal facial expression from a series of shots. Additionally, enhanced object removal and improved photo filters are integrated to elevate the photography experience.

All-Day Power & Super Fast Charging

Both phones pack a 5,000mAh battery, which is a LIFE-SAVER for busy moms like me. I used it all day—filming TikToks, watching YouTube, replying to messages—and still had enough juice left by bedtime. Plus, 45W fast charging means you can get a good charge in just 30 minutes. No more waiting forever!

Smart Little Perks That Make Life Easier

Samsung’s been adding AI to everything lately, and I LOVE the little smart features in these phones

Samsung has introduced its "Awesome Intelligence" across the Galaxy A series, incorporating AI-driven functionalities to enhance user experience. This includes advanced search capabilities, improved camera features, and daily task optimization. Both devices will receive six years of OS and security updates, ensuring longevity and up-to-date features.

✔️ Circle to Search with Google: Just draw a circle around anything on your screen, and Google will search it for you! Super helpful when online shopping. 🛍️

✔️ AI-Powered Call Assistant: It helps screen spam calls and even suggests quick replies during calls. Perfect for avoiding annoying telemarketers!

✔️ AI Text Summarizer & Translator: Great for students, professionals, or anyone who loves reading online but doesn’t have time for long articles.

Price & Final Thoughts

Now, the most important part—how much do they cost?

📌 Samsung Galaxy A56 5G
💰 PHP 23,990 (128GB) | PHP 25,990 (256GB)

📌 Samsung Galaxy A36 5G
💰 PHP 20,990 (128GB)

For what you’re getting—stunning display, great performance, AI-powered features, and a solid camera—I’d say these are worth considering if you’re looking for a budget-friendly upgrade.
