I haven't been doing much to my hair this year, as compared to last year. The last time I had my hair professionally colored was like 10 months ago... last year June!

2 days ago, I went for a last minute hair workshop at the new Goldwell (Kao) office. I was late... b'coz I mistook UE Square for United Square... Zzzzzz... blur me! The former is at Clemenceau Ave, whereas the latter is at Novena area.

The theme was "sweet" hair colors. What came to my mind immediately was... Japanese kawaii girls' soft and sweet kind of hair color... those we mostly see in Vivi, Popteens... I was more than happy when they actually mean "sweet" hair colors, which are inspired by confectionery... think macaroons in candy colors ♥

Getting the mid-section of my hair bleached...

Pinkify-ing my hair... ♥

The session took about 5 ½ hours. I wanted pink and purple, something like Xiaxue's... but not the whole head of coz (I can't carry off the look...)! Due to time constraint, the hair stylist can only do warm tones on my hair. Hence, no candy hues for me >.<" unless my hair color is as light as Jone's...

Regardless, he did a fantastic job! Thanks Zac! :D

I tweeted the above pics, which didn't tell much about my new awesome chio (pretty) hair. heh.

Thanks ah mei for helping me take pics :D

My hair crown is supposed to be the darkest (dark ruby red), gradually lighter at the hair ends. The pinks are "hidden" beneath the darker hair strands.

I love the neon pinks! :P

My new chio hair color ♥

Pink, you don't fade so fast okie? >.<"

I DIY-colored my hair on CNY eve. That was my 2nd time using Liese Bubble Hair Color, and I really enjoyed the "foamy experience"!

The color I used - Ash Brown. Well, my hair color didn't become as ashy as depicted on the box. Just a tinge of ashiness.

Without further ado, here's the hair color results. The color tone varies due to my previously highlighted hair.

My recent hair color. The ashiness has already diminished gradually by now.

My hair color looks much brighter under sunlight... more like dark brown when I'm indoors.

 

Last Saturday, I was at the Nando's Hot Peri-Peri Victory Beach Party (held @ Siloso Beach) with my gf and her bf. Free flow of Hot Peri-Peri Chicken & beverages (including ice-cold beer)!

More photos of the party via Nando's Peri-Peri Chicken Singapore FB Page HERE. ***Warning: Some pics can be really disturbing!***

A really hot and sunny afternoon. Literally melted... and the eyeliner bled on me (I was perspiring due to the immensely hot weather)... *faints*

I went for 2nd round of Hot Peri-Peri Chicken & butter rice! Yummilicious! :d~

Mini candy-flosses :D

We left early and had dessert (@ New Zealand Natural).

Butterscotch with pecan (I think). Not very nice.

2nd round of dessert (@ Fruit Paradise). I had Strawberry Tiramisu which tasted so-so. That day, I really ate alot-alot!

 

I'm relatively new on Instagram...

Just random stuff I received/won ♥

Just a quick post on my newly colored hair (that was on 1st Sept). Did mentioned about this color job on my previous DIY post.

A mini hair workshop with only 2 hair models (which includes me!). My hair was colored by a hairstylist from Vietnam (pictured on the right). What I wanted was a fully blue-black hair color. However, he advised not to. He said that this color will actually make my complexion look dull.

My new hair color - Copper with Blue-Black Lowlights! And, I'm VERY satisfied with the color results albeit the blue can be more obvious. Even the hair experts complimented him on the exceptionally good color results.

This time round, the Vietnamese hairstylist was really nice to gift me a set of Goldwell Color Glow (Deep Reflects). Favoritest color ♥! He was really friendly and smiley throughout. There was another Vietnamese guy who was the translator since he can't converse in English (and I obviously don't speak Vietnamese). Very soft-spoken and I think I speak 3x louder than he does.. :s

Shampoo

Conditioner

Leave-in Treatment

 

A mini review after using Goldwell Color Glow (Deep Reflects) for more than 2 weeks:

For optimum hair color maintenance, it is really important to use the same series of color-care hair products. The shampoo itself lathers pretty well, which makes it easy to cleanse my hair properly. Using the conditioner helps to keep the hair soft and smooth. The leave-in treatment is a spray which is useful in protecting the hair color. These 3 products work hand-in-hand for a long-lasting hair color and a much-easier-to-manage hair. I do notice that the vibrancy of my hair color is retained, with minimum fading. Hmm.. The warm copperish color has lost its warmth though after 17 days. Not bad, considering my hair color faded really fast (in like 3 days previously without using color-care products).

 

Thanks for popping by! :D

My hair was no longer vibrant red, as seen from my recent photos. And, I was rather sick of my hair color.

L'oreal Casting Crème Gloss 656 Terracotta. I got this last year @ L'oreal's event.

Casting Crème Gloss is a no ammonia hair colourant that gives your hair visible shimmering tones, glossy shine and blends away grey.

The color chart.

Gloves and instruction manual are provided as well (not pictured). It would be good if a comb is provided (just saying).

Here's my hair in process. Medusa-lookalike? And.. The color results.

Yups, I've bangs now. What's new?

Hmm.. I cut my own bangs this time. Not my 1st time anyway. Not perfect but I did lil' trimming just today. Looks better (I think). As for the rest of my hair, I'm letting it grow out.

The application part was rather easy, just that the developer cream + colorant is kinda dry. Not that easy to spread out. Well, I did managed to spread it out evenly on my short hair. I like that it is ammonia-free. I seriously hate that smell :s Oh, I loveee the conditioner which comes with it. It has that pleasant fruity scent which lingers on my hair. Made my hair really soft and silky after use!

My sis said that my hair color isn't that bright, coz she compared this to my previous vibrant red...... >:/ dotdotdot.. This is DIY hair color eh.. Cannot expect THAT much right? My hair is evenly colored; no awful patches here and there. Covers away my highlights as well.. @.@!! Well, the shimmering tones are visible under sunlight. My hair do look healthier and glossier than before. Prolly b'coz darker hair colors tend to be more forgiving on my skin tone. It literally brightens up my complexion.

All in all, I'm quite pleased with the color results as of now. Dark purplish red that is.

Oops :x Supposed to blog this during the weekends.. Well, I supposed some of y'all might have read Chantana and Jones' blog entries about the hair-color workshop we went last last friday (10th June). The hair-color workshop was known as "Magic Colors with René Janssens". It was all about blondes and reds.

Hmm.. I seriously had the initial intention of going blonde but in the end, I "chicken-ed out" :x And so, I went with the intention of getting a really bright red head like this..

CHIO MAX right?!

Last year Dec, I cut my hair real short b'coz of A-mei. And now going red-head b'coz of her too! Love her hair sooo much!

And so, this is my hair magician for that day - René Janssens (from Belgium!).

“I cut not with my scissors but with my mind.”

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, I was lucky enough and super honored to get my hair color transformed by him. It was an early X'mas present, as what he said (lol). I replied, that's a super early pressie! xD

I love it very much!! Thanks!! :D

The BEFORE look. My hair color "gone bad".. That's René Janssens' honest comment! xD

He asked me what hair color would I like. "Bright red." was the reply. He was like "Oh. Ok. Good." He seemed very pleased with my reply (lol).

Their BEFORE looks.

Process-ing......

@.@~~ He must be wondering why this weird gal keep taking photos non-stop. LOL

Jones, the BLONDE

Chantana, the COPPER RED

Yours Truly, the BRIGHT RED

4-5 hours. WORTH the wait!

慢工出细货! ♥

I literally gasped when I saw the the final outcome! Can't believe my eyes seriously. It was far better than what I expected! René Janssens' awesome hands truly work-ed magic on me!

I'm super happy that day can! :3

Haizzz.. Unfortunately red hair doesn't last.. My hair now not super red liao.. Faded.. :,(

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ I've got like 5 color tones on my hair! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Awesome much!

Taken from Goldwell Singapore FB.

I regretted not taking many many photos of my hair on that day itself.. :/

That's all for now. Thanks for reading (:

I had a hair cut again, more than 2 weeks ago. 20th April MARCH (Sunday) to be exact. My last hair cut was before CNY and I was kinda irritated by my messy long fringe. And so, when I received an email with regards to hair modeling, I happily replied. I wasn't particular about color or hair length. I just wanna try something new. Indeed, I got what I wanted...... I'm truly happy with my hair now ♥

And so, I was selected for the Color Zoom Workshop by Evolve Salon. Last year Aug, I was there for a Coloring Seminar. My hair makeover was done by the salon director himself, Ken Hong. Very honored indeed :D

Here's a not-so-clear photo, showing my dark colored messy hair. I finished reading the CLEO magazine I brought, to kill boredom. Instead, I was nearly bored to death by this April issue :/

Umm.. I think this is a process to lighten my hair color??

I think I like love this color on me :p Nah, I didn't go blonde. Prolly next time. Cool blonde sounds awesome eh ♥

Half-way.. I was there for hours and fell asleep every now & then LOL (x

Had my hair colored for quite a few times.. to get the desired result.

Can you see the red bits?

Frankly speaking, I wasn't very used to the super straight cut.. Kinda look like mushroom head -.-

Me love my right side though, and my asymmetrical fringe.. and.. the back of my hair!

Finally on my way home, after settling my ban mian dinner @ Kopitiam (Liang Court). My loud hairstyle was getting the attention of strangers :s

Took more photos when I got home..

Love this red patch!

The back of my hair. Asymmetrical too. Very stylo hor :x

Had my hair trimmed/curled. I also had a face makeover by a makeup artist.

Supposed to have red lips but then they think nude lips suit me better :s

STRAIGHT.

Heart this photo ♥

I totally look like a boy, at least that's what my client said. I knew I would get all the unwanted attention having this hairstyle. But heck care, seriously. The very moment I stepped into office, almost all eyes on my hair -.- Shan't elaborate on the comments I received, bad/good or just plain sarcastic. So be it. I seriously can't stand random long-hair girls laughing at my hairstyle though. FYVM. MYOB can. My hair, not yours.

Ending this super photo-intensive post with another photo xD

Look like a criminal/psychotic killer? DA LANG's HAIR?

Pixie + Cool blonde next?

This year, I kept changing my hair color like nobody's business. Not a hair model this time. I definitely had no intention of coloring my hair coz I was just supposed to "accompany" my gf as she wanted to cut + color her hair. It'll be a "good" 2 hours of waiting so I thought I should do something about my hair too. Excuses, oh whatever (LOL).

I chose the color that I've been wanted for the longest time and I got my hair trimmed too. I'm pleased with the hairstylist service pretty much (; Oh, pardon my lack of makeup coz I don't usually put on much makeup when I go JB (Yes, not in SG).

So what's my new hair color this time ?

And so, this was supposed to be blueish purple. But it looks reddish purple instead now. The blue "disappeared" after days of hair-washing =.= I heart my new hair color nevertheless.

When indoors, my hair color looks much darker whereas it looks more vibrant under bright sunlight.

Apart from revamping my hair, I did my nails too.

Simple glittery (soft) gel nails with no fancy nail art or whatsoever. Can you tell it's (soft) gel nails ? I didn't do any extension this time round.

My multi-colored glittery toe nails, using OPI Sparkle-icious (3 coats).

Super glittery multi-color bits, I like !

Photos taken 5 days after doing my nails. My nails are terribly dry eh =.=

All in all, I spent ($68 color + $25 cut)+($120 glitter & gel  + $55 classic mani & pedi - 20%) $233 RINGGIT = SGD $98

End off with act-cute camwhore photo :3

New hair color (again). Evidence of my obsession with red, oh well (: My previous hair color was done < 2 months ago. This time, I seized the opportunity to be a hair model (again). Thanks Beng-Lee !

Overall it was a short session and I was pleased with my new hair color.

Dark red color makes my hair appear healthier and shinier than ever *grins*.

When indoors, my hair color appear quite dark. The redness can be seen under bright sunlight :D

3 more photos to end this super short post (:

new hair color ! no more chiffon pink hair :3 new hair style too ! just cut a little from my previous hairstyle, not much difference except the fringe part :p well, this time i went to a hair seminar with Jones. she hasn't update anything about her hair as yet since the workshop till now. what i can say is her hair is getting shorter and shorter, in a good way of course. she really rocks with her new hairstyle ! for those who have seen her hair will agree with me much :D

this is a hair seminar conducted by award winning colorist Rodica Hristu from Canada. she's very friendly & beautiful in person. and, i noticed her lashes are really long !

there was a pre-color session 2 days before the seminar. we are supposed to "report" at evolve salon at 9am, located at Liang Court. it was prolly around 12pm when it was finally my turn to do my hair -_-" me & Jones were the hair models for 2nd day, so we'd had to wait for the 1st day hair models' hair to be fixed first. throughout the session, i was dozing off every now and then as i didn't sleep the night before =_=

hmm this was my OOTD, all black. blur me thought i had to wear all black on that day +_+

Ken Hong, evolve salon director, trimmed my hair and cut bangs. i guessed i'm destined to have bangs hahas xD this is the "just cut" look.

then, i waited for sometime for my hair to be colored. my hair base was kept cool-toned dark brown i think. the clipped part was not colored yet at this point of time.

ta dah ! now, the clipped part is colored using "foiling" method if i didn't get it wrong. so many foils !! she foiled one by one and i fell asleep halfway through :s thanks Rodica ! anyway, the session ended at around 5plus evening i think. luckily there was food provided for us, japanese yakitori rice set :d~

so how did the hair color turn out ?

 

:

i simply ♥ my new hair color to bits !! thanks so much Rodica (again) !!

the main focus was the fringe part. the highlights were kept cool-toned. she initially wanted to keep it warm-toned as it really turned out very nice. i love both :3

i really love the hair color so much ! it reminded me of the $300 hair color i did at Jeric Salon (REDS Salon) which i did not like much.

i was told that for a hair makeover like mine easily cost few hundred dollars, prolly about $300+ to 400+ ? a hair cut by Ken Hong is already $100+.. hair color will be around $200 to $300 ? the most shocking thing i heard from one of the hair models was a hair cut by Daniel Ng, Kim Robinson Creative Director cost $750 !! i nearly fainted -_-" i have to agree totally he is really awesome !! i'm so honored to have my hair cut by both of them, and my hair to be colored by Rodica Hristu (:

my LOTD. pardon my oil-slicked face -_-" and chapped lips.

the highlight of this LOTD is using MAC mineralize eye shadow - fresh green mix. it was a really wonderful buy from sg beauty :D i love how the smoky eye effect turn out.

hope you enjoyed my lengthy post. more posts to be up soon :D saturday was an exceptionally enjoyable day for me :3 stay tuned to my blog to find out why ! till then, enjoy your weekend ladies !
