color me good...

finally... yes! i had my hair highlighted. Most of you may think who cares or so wat; but to some of you, who know me for years, my crown had been au natural for years (i think since year 2000) as i told everyone i'm embracing my roots/origin ie. chinese. Dun ask me why suddenly today, actually after lunch, decided to color or highlight my hair. Maybe becos i felt it needed something, maybe some color just to define the hair texture. Maybe becos i had a bad hair day. (period)

But you know, everytime just before i go to the salon or when i am sitting on the salon chair, my hair just turned out fine. The shape & style just falls into the right place. Damn.

Anyhow, arrived the salon ard 5:30pm to consult further with my trusted stylist (she is brilliant), on which shades to go for, to color or to highlight, blah di blah. Trust! You have just got to trust your stylist, which i do, and after much blah di blah, the process of injecting color to my hair begun.

All in all, it took abt 3 hours to finish my hair. Yup! you heard it: 3 hours. It's all attention to details she said. She picked 'fine' sections and separate them before coloring and wrapping them in the aluminium foil, so the effect, according to her, will have a softer feel so the contrast between the colored & non-colored wont be that obvious and most importantly, won't appear like 'chunks'. She also avoided the 'hair parting' area and the very top layer around the crown area so that when my hair grows, it wont be that obvious, as everyone know that roots show the signs of growth. So my hair 'highlight' can last just a little longer. Fingercrossed!

The result: i'm one very happy customer. Despite not coloring here and there as i described which may sound like wat the hell, but the way she did it, everything blends in nicely.

Ooo...lastly, do not wash or put any chemical on your hair for at least 24 hours, so the dye can stay in your hair for that much longer. FACT! So i asked her not to put any products in my hair, but unfortunately i just got to apply some product 2mr morning for work. Well, i guessed 12 hours should be ok lah.

Speaking of work, agrhhhhhh...need to revise something again. wat's new?
