Hair Talk with Issa Pressman
First things first, can you walk us through your hair care routine?
“I wake up in the morning and then I take a shower, for sure. I use the TRESemmé Pro-Color Series for my shampoo. And then I put conditioner. After that, this is where it gets hard and tricky. When I start drying it, I put the pre-blower muna. And then smoothening. And then preheat. And then like an after-heat. And then the shine thing, because it’s hard to maintain blonde [hair]. But to really lock in my color, I use TRESemmé.”
Editor’s tip: Prevent your blonde hair from going brassy. The new TRESemmé Pro-Color Series Blonde Brilliance Shampoo has Jojoba oil in its purple formula to neutralize brass tones and yellow hues, so your blonde is always bomb.
That’s a lot of products!
“A lot of products, yeah.”
If there’s one product you can call your best friend, what would it be?
“Conditioner. Yeah.”
Why?
“I don’t know, it’s just like my hair gets so thick and unfriendly when I don’t have conditioner on.”
With all the styling, you really need to moisturize your hair, right?
“Yes! I honestly feel like I could do without everything else except my conditioner.”
Editor’s tip: Always complete your hair care routine with conditioner. Choose one that’s specifically designed for your blonde hair. Use TRESemmé Pro-Color Series Blonde Brilliance Conditioner as this product will not just moisturize your blonde hair, but will also protect it from brass tones.
What’s your favorite hairstyle?
“With my blonde hair now, just straight hair. Because it’s a new hairstyle that I haven’t really been playful with. But when I had longer hair, I would just leave it curly, just put mousse every now and then. Then I would just tie it up in a high pony—that’s it.”
It seems like you’ve been really playful with your hair and you’ve tried so many hairstyles. Do you have a look that you regret?
“None! Why would you regret anything?!”
How about hair colors, which one is your favorite?
“The half and half. I did half black and half blonde.”
Oh wow!
“Yeah, I did that already. That’s my favorite! I actually miss it. But then I wouldn’t want the half and half with my short hair, so I’m fine with it being blonde. But if I had longer hair, I would go back to my black and blonde.”
But for now with your short hair, what would be your next hair color?
Well, [stylist] Suyen [Salazar] suggested like a dark blue, dark purple so I might do that.”
On bad hair days, what do you do with your hair?
“I wear a bucket hat. It’s not because I wanna hide it, but because it’s also a mood. It’s also the way I style it.”
So it’s your laidback look?
“Yeah! It’s also a mood for me—like when I’m in the mood to dance or something.”
What’s your hair advice to Filipinas?
“Wear it like it’s your crown. I know everyone does have their own crown. But then it’s a good way to express yourself. It’s the first thing you would look at, so make sure that it reflects your personality and it’s very close to you. For me kasi, aside from dressing up, it’s also fashion eh. It shows you. It comes together.”
