How To Have Great Hair Like Mine

The truth is no, I do not have great hair. I USED TO have black bristled hair you know.

But after my Junior College years, it was total freedom for me because finally I get to add a tinge of brown on my hair and truthfully, the first time I dyed my hair at the saloon, the colour was not so great. It was like a dark bronze and the saloon lady used the same "the colour will show when you are in the sun" trick.

So, recently I decided to go DIY.

I wanted my hair to be stricking BLONDE, as I was inspired to be like Lady Gaga.

But in order to do so, I need to bleach my hair (for real!) and even before that particular process, I need to use some decolouration chemical blabla WHAT A HASSLE.

So at the end of the day, I went for Beuteen's Bleach Blonde shade.

So that is how I ended up with this goldish brown for my mane!!

yaayyy!

BUT, I will not advise you to DIY if you have hair that is super straight! Because chances are you won't colour all your hair parts evenly and you will end up with patces of undyed hair :( Not a pretty sight.

For those who intend to perm their hair, hey, any kind of perm (magic perm, japanese perm, ionic perm) is the SAME, it is just the matter of how you care for it. If after perming, you realise that your curls look way too springy like a pig's tail (no offence!) do not use your hand or comb to brush down the curls!

Also, do not wash your hair for atleast 3 days to allow the chemicals to set in :)

To care for your perms is the easiest part to do!

Wash and damp your hair and to "secure" the curls, use styling mousse! Crunch it in an upwards motion from the edge of your hair to somewhere in the mid of your head.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO BLOW DRY.

If you do this correctly, you perm can last you 6 months!

It's really easy to manage permed hair as compared to rebonded hair. REALLY! I've tried both and I still prefer luscious curls anytime.

But the truth is, too much colouring, rebonding and perming leaves my hair sickly dried at the ends (the top roots looks perfectly healthy!)

I am trying out on Essence as advertised on Xiaxue's and Nadnut's blog, but I think their conditioner is just horrible. It smells real sweet from the bottle, but once you plastered it on your root ends and wash off, no sweet smell or whatsoever stays on.

So, my personal favourite is still Sunsilk! Affordable and really good to the max! I used Sunsilk conditioner for coloured and damaged hair and within days, my root ends look healthier and no signs of hair breakage!

 happy with healthy hair
