Hair

I know I know!!! The title sounds so awkward with just one word, but I just couldn't find any other good titles that fits to this post that I'm about to write.

So yeap! Today I'm gonna be talking about my hair. I personally feel that my hair stands out from most of my friends, because I love to dye crazy hair colors ever since the start of this year. Hahaha!

Throughout my whole hair experience, I didn't have any particular salon that I got get my hair job done. So at first when I dyed my hair, I wanted to choose a very safe color, something that doesn't make me look like a freak when I walk out of my house. So I chose a reddish brown kind of color, and it also looks kinda good on me. :D



That was during the month of March 2013, where it was one of the tedious month I ever experience, because it was the period whereby I took part in this annual blogging competition held by Cathay Orchard Cineleisure.

During the competition, I feel the need to change my image so as to make myself stand out more. Therefore I decided to go for more bold colors, eventhough some of my friends say it doens't suit me, but I still went for it, and the color is....

(Taken back during our CNOS Cathay Decoded Race! Pretty Angie and Ziwei!!! I MISS THEM!!!)



YUPP!
Blondeee!! Hahaha! I bleached 2 times to get this result because when I first dyed my hair to the reddish brown color, I had to bleach it once in order to let the color sticks to my hair, because previously I kept dyeing black and it results to having super DARK colored hair, therefore I have to bleach it once to remove the black color and then apply to reddish brown color.

For them to remove the reddish brown they had to bleach it TWICE, and I think that sort of damaged my scalp a little??? Hahahaha! Well, maybe not that little.

After the competition, I WON! YAY ME! It sort of like given me the attention of the crowd and some PR's I guess? And thanks to Tiffany Yong, she intro-ed my to Show Image, which was formerly known as Claire's Hair Spa for a sponsored review.

So I can get to choose a hair color that I like and also to do a review on the hair salon, so I picked another color that is quite striking...



LILAC ASH GREY!
Its Ash Grey base with Lilac color on top. But the color soon faded to Ash Grey, because I have a habit of washing my hair twice a day! Hahaha! So it sort of wash off the hair color quickly.

AND IT TURNS OUT NICER! HAHAHAHA!


Okay! The above picture is not doing any justice, but you sort of see the ash grey color la. LOL!
Then soon, after a few wash again, it faded off to blonde (again). Hahaha!




AFTER THAT
I thought to myself, I wanna dye some other colors, some colors that I've never done before yet stands out from the crowd. Guess what color I did next?



YESSSS! STRIKING HOT RED/PINK
It was the most outstanding color I could think of, hahaha! AND AGAIN! It faded after a few washes again! I don't know why, everytime my hair color fades, it became nicer! Alot of people have been commenting saying my hair color is nicer when faded. Hahaha!



It faded to blonde-ish pink. Photo taken at SpunkPunkFunk photoshoot for The Cathay Lifestyle Facebook photo contest.
Soon after, it faded back to blonde again...



I kept this hair color of mine till yesterday, and it became the following color which I'm about to show you guys. I decided to go for a haircut and hair dye yesterday because I feel that my hair is VERY long already and many of my friends have asked me to go for a haircut. So yeap.

 
It became blonde but with brown highlights and some black roots of course! Hahaha! It turned out quite nice I guess? But after much consideration, I've decided to go a haircut and hair dye because I'll be flying to Taiwan at end of September, and I want to have a nice hair for all my photos. Hahaha! So I thought, why not get a haircut earlier and when its time for my Taiwan trip, my hair will grow to a length that is "LOOK-able"...
GUESS WHAT COLOR I DID NEXT?!!!


After I got my haircut, I find that my face looked even rounder!!! I really can't wait for it to grow back to the length it used to be...
Anyways! I dyed Ash Brown this time round, because I still had abit of blonde left on my hair, so the ash brown could get up to my hair, only at certain areas. As for the rest, like my brown and black hair colors faded from the previous hair, it only managed to get 50% of the Ash Brown color, so technically, my hair have like highlights in certain areas as well. Its looking like in different shades of brown. AND I LOVE IT!  

Here are somemore selfies I took with my new hair! Hahaha! My friends have told me that I look like I'm 16 all over again with this new short haircut! Hahaha! Okay, I was happy when they said that! Cuz I love looking young! (WHO LOVES LOOKING OLD?!!!)


YEAP! THATS ALL FOR THIS POST!
Hahaha! Here are just some tips for you guys who are considering to bleach your hair, to me, I bleached my hair twice at first, and it stings abit. But overall its still bearable, just that when its done, it hurts a little bit. :)

ANDANDAND
Alot of people have asked me how do I maintain my hair after dyeing and bleaching it so many times, well, I also did treatments when I dyed my hair, as for keeping if healthy?? I wash my hair everyday, haha! That's why the color of my hair fades off very fast, because I keep washing my hair.

I don't know why? If I never wash my hair for one day I'll just feel super gross and dirty! Hahaha! OCD!!!

Now I'm still thinking what color should I do next? Electric Blue? Hahaha! I've told alot of my friend that I wanted to dye Electric Blue but they told me not to! Hahahaha! We shall wait and see I guess? Till my hair grows longer la that is.

Was invited by Mag (Modgam) and Damien (UncleTehPeng) to attend an event host by Luxe Women at Sembawang MRT Station.

First I met up with Damien and Malcolm (MalcolmSunny) outside the train station, not knowing what to expect as it was told by Damien that it was a nail salon and we 3 are guys, so we thought it will be kinda awkward for us.

We first tried the i-SPA service over there. Sat down at the massage chair and soaked our feet in the Jacuzzi Food Bath. Felt like a TaiTai at then. Hahaha!




From what I've heard. The reason why we need to soak our feet into the Jacuzzi is because it will help clean/remove the bacteria that is on our feet. After soaking, the salon therapist will then use the aroma-scrub to scrub our feet.

Look at the amount of dead skin I have! So scary!!!

Headsets and tablets were provided for the customers as well, so as to keep them entertained and wouldn't be bored while getting their service done.




Look at Malcolm and Joey (iisjong)!!! 
Totally enjoying life to the fullest! Hahahaha!




After getting our feet scrubbed, we then start to test out the masking, as guys have quite a number of hair growth at our legs, so yea, we can only test drive it on our hands. Hahaha!



After applying the cream, I swear, my skin feels like its being reborn! Hahaha! It feels like babyskin! Super smooth! This was what they use to apply it onto my skin! :D




After we're done with the i-SPA service, we then went on to Zu Yue Foot Reflexology, which is just a stone throw away from Luxe Women.

It was my first time getting my massage done by professional masseur. So I was kind of nervous and excited at the same time.

Enjoying life with Damien! Hahah!






They have headsets and tablets over at Zu Yue Reflexology as well. Haha! But the kiasu me decided to use their headset to watch America's Next Top Model on my phone instead! Teehee!




For the last 10minute of the massage, the masseur will then help you massage your back and neck, making sure the aches from your body are softened.




After we're done with our massage, we then head back to Luxe Women to try out the latest nail technology.
I was super impressed by how they can just print the set of picture you want and just print it onto your nails! So amazed!!!




The super awesome machine where you can choose the designs you want, and just print it onto your nails! If you guys are worried that the printer might scratch your flesh during the process of printing the designs onto your nails, no it doesn't, it does not hurt at all!!!

Here's the set of nail designs that Joey chose. Hahaha! 

SO NICE!!!! ♥

A very big thank you to Jaclyn, Director Nail Stylist of Luxe Women, Mag, and Damien for inviting and having over at the event. I really enjoyed myself. :D
