Helloooo everyone~ I'm back to my cozy corner with lots of amazing updates and changes! =P

First up today, I just want to share with you guys 1 of the greatest change I did to my HAIR, which gotten so much rave on my facebook and instagram after my hairdo! Comments like..... "woah you look so much younger!!" "So sleek and modern" etc....

Hair is actually very important to everyone..... well at least to me it is very very very important because a change of hairstyle can change someone look and style very differently!!

I'm very honored to be given a sponsored makeover for my hair last week with...

THE COMB

I'm full of excitement and waiting for my appointment date to come! I always have the habit to just stick to my regular stylist as I'm so damned afraid it will all gone wrong. All thanks to their very updated instagram account that made me more confident to leave my hair makeover to their hands.

Let's see how my hair transformed!!

My hair before makeover......

hmmmm... it had been awhile since I gone back for trimming and touching up. Please don't judge..=( Friends always jealous of my thick hair, but I just don't like it because I felt like a poodle! T_____T

And it all get started!! 

First up.... HAIR COLOURING!!!

Its a bloody red tone which the stylist recommended to suit my hair conditions then. Need to colour my new black hair grown lah... and in order not to see obvious difference of my coloured and non coloured hair lah... blah blah blah... And I just leave it to the stylist. =P

In progress.... and it took about 2 hrs for colouring.....

... not to worry if you are bored! With their wonderful service, get indulged sipping cuppa TWG tea with a latest magazine to past your time!

Very quickly, the stylist designed a new hair style with his coolest scissor skills that got me excited I forgot to take pictures... Haha.. =P So let the pictures do the talking!! LOL...

and........

Tadah~

Ello~

If you all know, I've always have a crazy/ messed/ dry and etc hair!!! Ever since I graduated from my secondary school, I've always colour , perm or re-born my hair. Lately, I even 

BLEACHED!!!  Can you imagine how bad was my hair?

YES!!!

LIKE A LION!!!

Last month, I had my hairstyle changed! You can read about it here if you've missed it!!

So after the hair cut, the stylist blow dried my hair till I'm really loving it!! But true enough, my hair just got to transform to its crazy way the next day~ So I try all sorts of hair taming products and blow drying with my mummy's lao kok kok hair dryer:

That look something like the above with only a timer setting and high/low setting. =/

But it just don't work~ I even researched and bought a hair dryer!! *after researching and found out, I need to use a ceramic and ionic dryer to tame my hair*  I also you-tubed on blow drying hair tutorials!!! So for the pass few days of trying.....

DAY 1: FAILED = Therefore I tied my hair.. TT_TT

DAY 2:  STILL ACCEPTABLE??

DAY 3: Love the fringe ONLY~

No doubt, the hair dryer thingy REALLY AFFECTS!!! 

But now, I'm too lazy to wake up earlier to slowly blow dry my hair by sections!! And I finally decided to follow what Keida, from Clover, suggested to me earlier!!

It's a hair treatment that tames and flatten the hair to reduce flyaway. It's called the KERATIN HAIR TREATMENT~

I researched a bit about it and saw a lot good reviews about it especially for natural curl hair ladies like me. You should check it out too!

So the whole process is about 3 hrs for this length:

and do keep in mind you can't wash your hair for 2-3 days after the treatment, so as to allow the proteins to set in your hair~

Here's my after treatment peektures:

Right after the treatment!! It's super soft loh...

2nd or the 3rd day after the treatment~ Love it when the wind blow...LOL

Few days after the treatment!!!
Must take " wind blow" pictures because it super duper soft and I felt like a star~ LOL

and a comparison:

WHAT DO YOU THINK ?!?!!

I must say I love it to the max lah!! I confirm will do it again after a few months to maintain this healthy looking hair!! and you know what? I'm still able to colour my hair even after I did this treatment! Unlike some other treatment, where I need to wait for a few months after I can do any chemicals to it~

LOVING LOVING LOVING IT!!!! 

A new haircut that i superbly love!!

I GOT MY HAIRSTYLE CHANGED!!!

Super excited, I had my hair cut by my ex-stylist.

Aaron, my ex-stylist about 4 years ago, did a really good job in transforming my super long boring hair to a short hair which I love madly even till now. 

* That's 4 years ago!!*

Thereafter, he closed his salon and went overseas to continue enriching his styling skills!

Super sad lah ~ mine,the boy's and didi's hair like crap after he left...  luckily, my friend intro her stylist,Keida from clover, and my hair survived again after a few crappy cut!

Aaron then came back, and he taught at Kimage for about a year and decided to join Tony & Guy ,where he originally got his skills from 10 years ago.

And so, for this transition, he need to go through this process of creating hair "profile" to determine the outlet he will be sent to.

Lucky me, got the chance to let him cut again! Happy!!

Because, didi, the boy and myself went to be his hair model!!!  Wheeeeee ...

I'm so ready to let him change any style!!  So here is the before picture:

and now..........

nice or not?? 

I super love lah!  The fringe and the sides ~ ♥♥♥

Do I look more younger now? Heh...
which look do you think is more suitable for me?

For now, I need to master the skills to blow dry my hair like how he did... anyone can teach me how? 

LOL... I'm super bad with styling my own hair lah...

What do you think?

The wonders of HAIR!!!

When it comes to hair, I'm super open to all sorts of hairstyles and changes! As long its not that sort of super short cut, like pixie hair ~

http://www.highstylenews.com/style-your-hair-in-a-pixie-haircut-2012/ginnifer-goodwin-pixie-haircut-2012/

I TOTALLY can't imagine myself in this!! and I would never in my FUTURE life (as of now) to have this hair cut!

Well, I actually had this kind of short and boyish hairstyle back then, when I'm in primary school? When I'm "too young" to have rights/ decisions on the type of hair I like? And parents just insist a super short one so they don't have to tie my hair every morning?? *rolled eyes*

I'll always remember this incident right after my haircut..... There was this chap chai png uncle (FYI: Till NOW, I still remember CLEARLY how he looked like!!) who said to me: " AH BOY AH! WHAT YOU WANT AR?!?!?!" *stoned for a moment* and....

WHAT DA FUG???

*smoke came out from ears and nose, boiling over 100 degree*

FML totally right?? This incident definitely caused a super super super deep damage to my childhood lah! And by all means, I burned/ bleached to get rid of all the pictures I took back then!!!

Alright, now the sad and epic life have gone and I'm living happily ever after with my hair.... as you can see from here.

And this time round, I'm gonna share my first ever hair braiding experience!!!! WHOOOOooohoooo...

Last year I had my first ever experience to perform in Oschool recital!! You can read my post about it here, here and here.

It was a super great experience and performance that I surely wanna look GOOD! With the choreographers' visualization, me and some of the dancers researched on the hairstyle we wanted to portray on the actual day! So there was this design that caught my eyes!

Damned cool right?

And I so super look forward to have it done like this. Cause its simply out of the world? Post Apocalypse? just like the theme behind our dance item.

My hair then was totally cannot make it one....

Right?!?!?!

So I went to my hairstylist, Keida from clover (located at Fareast Plaza) to have my hair trimmed and coloured!!

See!!! Under his magic hands, My hair re-grown!!! LOL...

1 - 2 days before the actual day, I met with May to have our hair braided!! MAX EXCITED!!! and can't wait to have that SUPER COOL braid on my hair!! So we went to Fareast Plaza to have it done. I can't remember the shop name but it's quite distinctive and popular for hair braiding/corn rolls, dreadlocks and all the exotic hairstyle. The shop is filled with the "exotic" hairstyle pictures that's why its distinctive~

I showed her the picture that I wanted my hair to be made. Very unfortunately, she was unable to do that for me! *sad* TT___TT

All my anticipation just went to the drain!! =(  But no matter how, we still have to braid our hair for the performance in order to look "cool". So, I went with the fake Mohawk look~ LOL.... and the hairstylist suggested a few ways of braiding to achieve the look I wanted!

And she started!!!

She is a very nice lady! She suggested on how I should style my hair during the "normal" days at work and she braided it in a way that I still can look normal during work days! Not only that, she also taught me on how I could create the Mohawk look on the actual day!!! But well, I'm not as experience as her, so I just anyhow teased my hair to look like it! LOL~

In the making..... with our bubble tea... LOL..

After about 45mins, It's completed!! We quickly took pictures and shared it with the rest of our dance mates! hahaha.... and this was how it looks....

The side profile.

And it was extended to the back.

I have it done on my both sides cause I wanted to create the Mohawk look on the actual day. On the actual first day, Dory, one of my dance mates created the Mohawk for me!!

See... how it goes with my make up?
I've had compliments about the braids~ That it look really cool, "scary" and out of the world! So I guess it was a success "makeover" ?

The braids lasted for 2-3 weeks before it start itching till I dak boleh tahan and I removed it. I'm quite sensitive to it though because May had her's longer than mine. LOL.. and if you ever wonder, I still wash my hair as per normal but it just took a bit more time.

The braids are charged by per braid which unfortunately, I can't remember how much was it and the hairstylist gave me a discount too. =X

Share with me if you also had your hair braided!!! I love braids!!

That's about it and I'm ending here!!! =)

Bring your hair to life !!!!

I've always love my hair....be it short or long,curled or straighten, its still my precious...hur hur...

Even though i do not have 70 feet of magical, golden hair like Rapunzel.......

........But I do love fixing my hair in different style to Bring my hair to LIFE!!! Look at the styles i did before when i used to have long long hair~

Style 1: Never too old to feel young....
Simply separate your hair to 2 section and tie it up...not too low and not too high~
and of course, loosen it a bit, keep it as fun and not too nerdy... Xp

Style 2: J-Bunnie
Tie a ponytail high up and loosen a bit and not to worry if its messy. Split the pony tail to 2 and turn it round and round. PIN UP and accessorize with some cute lil bands or clips. Remember to mess a bit, you do not want to look like old granny with buns.

Style 3: Bad hair day in style
This is simple! Fix hair with a lil wax and accessorize with head gear! eg: hat, cap, beanie,scarf, hair bands, etc..... and DONE!

Style 4: Braids
I believe every girl with long hair did this before when they are young..... so its the same....Separate to 3 section and intertwine it. Pick very small amount on the braids to make it a lil messy look~ Remember don't do it too neatly!!

Style 5: Straigten with fun
Its bored and flat if you don't style hair with wax or clay. Do a bit of styling or apply leave on to make your hair ALIVE!!!!

Style 6: Everything comes in style
LOL....alright this style was to utilize what i have around when I'm desperate to style my hair~~ accessorize what you have around you!!!!! It will be fun~ good for CUTLERY PARTY!!!

Style 7: Wave it with life
I got to admit this is not a really lively one, but wave do look lively if you style it. Waxed it on your curls/ to fix the wave and define the shape~

Though my hair are short now, but i still could bring it to life with a bit of styling!!!
