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.

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 will be just a short post about my new hair cut. Ahh I keep cutting my hair :x Well, I'm gonna stop cutting it short after March I guess. Here's Part 1 if you've missed it somehow.

And so, I'm kindly "sponsored" by my lil' sis for this hair cut + treatment thingy @ Chapter 2 (Plaza Singapura). She bought a hair care package the previous time at the Marina Square outlet. Yeah ^^v Thanks Ah mei ♥

My lil' sis taking a quick nap, while looking like some astronaut :x Hmm.. the guy with the blonde hair was my hair stylist I think. I just realized, or maybe I'm wrong. A super young chap, 21 this year !

Me looking just like my sis - astronaut =.="

Weeeeee weet !~ Temporary curls la hehe~ :p

Act innocent hahas xD

Here's new hair. I requested for slanted fringe, which I had before when I had long hair then.

This was how I looked 3 years ago. Gosh, my youth T^T

I requested to "reveal" my ears too :D

More like a boy now, seriously :D

I colored my hair really black this time, DIY. This was done way before I had my hair cut. I used Quicktouch 1 min hair color and the results was pretty good I would say. No unsightly patches or whatsoever. And, I got this FREE from Fr3b (known as The Sample Store now).

BUT actually the color I used was supposed to be dark brown. My hair turned out to be super black instead. So black, it looked just like a wig =.= Hmm.. Great for covering white hair though ! After a month or so, my hair ain't THAT black anymore *PHEW*

A better picture of my new hair ?

My so-called "new" hairstyle. It's been 2 weeks since I cut my hair (again). I assure you this is definitely not the shortest I can go. Hmm I wanna cut even shorter than this, not pixie style (that's too much for my not-so-small head =.=).

Well, I had my haircut at Kimage (Plaza Singapura). It was kinda impromptu as I only decided to cut my hair the night before. Crazy much I guess. No regrets. I'm lovin' my new "pretty boy" image that is.

This was not the hairstyle that the hairstylist created, BUT this was the hairstyle I wanted. Confused ?

This is what I wanted. Not the color part though.

This was the initial hairstyle I had in the day. I felt that the front part was kinda long and I hate the wavy ends *sulks*

My back hair kinda straight eh. Maybe that's why I wanna layer it even more.

And so, I went back to Kimage to trim the front part at no extra charge. FYI the haircut cost me $45 =.= I thought I could get discount with my privilege card BUT they say after CNY then can use ! WTF :/ My card expires in Mar 2011 ! Qi Si Wo Le ! *roars*

My hair went from this..

To this (: Just within a day. Yay or Nay ?

Looks like I'm in the mood for camwhorin' :x As usual.

Well, I had received mixed feedbacks with regards to my new hairstyle. Mostly compliments, some still prefer my long hair. Whatever it is, even if you think it's not nice and you tell me in a sincere manner, I'll accept your comments. However, if you tell me in a sarcastic manner, then that's it :/ To each her (his) own. Anyway, I received compliment from someone at the most unexpected moment. It meant pretty much to me since my colleagues said to me (sincerely) the day before, my hairstyle kinda "auntie" =.=zzz  I wasn't angry but was very affected definitely. Now no longer affected, of coz *grinz* Happy max ! ^^v

Do I miss my long hair ? Umm not really.

End this random post with a random "emo" photo of me at work.

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

i didn't do it on impulse. i had thought about this long enough. i reckoned that i had enough, so i did it. no regrets, definitely.

no, i wasn't sad about it. ignore my gloomy face, or should i say this is my standard daily face ? oh well.

hmm does this look like a happier face ? oh, that's my hair stylist (Ace) for the day at the back picking up a call. as shown, he was half-way through the hair cut. prolly more than 50% hair was chopped off at this point of time.

btw i was at SOHO hair salon located at Novena Square. this was my 2nd time visiting this salon after more than a year i guess. i was quite disappointed as the massage chair (hair wash time) wasn't working :/

Ace is only 22 this year, has been working for 6 months in this hair salon so far. i'm pretty pleased with his hair cut skills (: anyway, he asked me if i'm a Singaporean -.- umm he wasn't the 1st one to have ask this supposedly annoying question (i don't look like Singaporean ??) i answered that i am, and proceeded to ask him what nationality did he think i was. he replied, "Malaysian" (he's Malaysian). i asked him why did he thought so. he said i speak like Malaysian -.- then i was like ?? after chatting for awhile, he commented that i speak like Taiwanese instead. aiyo ! i'll be happier if he said that earlier :s he also thought that i was only 22 years old (ok, happy to hear that since i'm way past this age :3).

before he started cutting, he asked me at least 3 times whether i confirmed that i want to cut my hair real short. he had experienced whereby a lady regretted and told him that he cut too short after he cut her hair half-way. so, that's why he confirmed with me at least 3 times. ladies, please decide carefully before you tell your hair stylist to cut your hair real short !

there're some of y'all who have seen me in person. i'm glad that so far no one dislike my new hairstyle, in fact loving it (:

yeah ! i love my new chic short hair :p

and surprisingly, i don't miss my long hair even a bit !

some more pictures to end off this 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 !

my new hairstyle, nice ?

hahas no i didn't cut my hair that short. i lack the courage to :D anyways, i went for this worshop conducted by Kim Robinson hair salon, thanks to jones ! she posted an entry about her friend beng lee who need hair models for presentation/workshop. and so, i emailed her friend as soon as i saw her post :p

on 26 july, i went for the workshop for long haircut alone -,- there was no more slots so jones can only go on the 27th for short haircut (ps: i saw her new hairstyle ! guess she'll blog about it soon :p seriously very nice !) hmm i chose the long haircut since i wasn't ready for v.short hair. actually my hair was v.long and i was planning to let it grow till waist length. oh well, i couldn't let this chance go by, right ? :p

ahh the sad thing is no one could tell that i had my hair cut -_-" prolly because mine is still considered long hair after the hair cut. in actual fact, about 40% of my hair was chopped off ! can't tell right -_-" now, my hair is very layered. i love my hair to be layered as my head certainly feels alot lighter than before. my friends don't like though as they think it's hard to maintain. nah, i don't think so (:

hmm let me tell you my experience :D the workshop i went to is basically a normal haircut by hairstylists from various salons. they are either trainees or experienced hairstylists trying on new cutting styles that they've learnt from the morning presentation. i reached the place on time and the moment i entered the workshop area, i felt quite intimidated. the hairstylists were indonesian chinese, most. quite a number of hair models reached by then. when i was seated there, some of the hairstylists came over touched my hair etc. btw they draw lots to be assigned to individual hair model.

my assigned hair stylist was an indonesian chinese lady. actually she didn't cut most of my hair. Mr Daniel Ng, creative director of Kim Robinson cut most of my hair while teaching and demonstrating the steps to the hair stylists (HAPPY ! xD) everybody had a chance to have their hair cut by him. it was interesting though, listening to him teach them in fact :D after the haircut, he even complimented himself that it's nice hahas ! the hair stylists still cheekily exclaimed, "hair nice, or face ?" DOT.DOT.DOT. i could feel myself becoming red instantly -_-"

anyways after the haircut & minimal styling, i was given a set of goldwell rich repair shampoo and conditioner (YIPEE ! so unexpected !) free haircut and free hair products Xp overall, it was truly an awesome experience for me. an eye-opener in fact. i'll love to participate in future workshops/presentations :3 *winks at jones*

ok here's a close-up of my eye makeup for that day.

love my mascara-ed lashes, thanks to the lovely combination of helena rubinstein glorious mascara 01 star black & sasatinnie super dolly powerful curling mascara black (: the glittery parts came from canmake jewelstar eyes 04.
