I hvn't been updating my blog since my last post bout my Movie-Family day~ So here comes the updates ^^

14 Feb is the well-known Valentine's day, but... It's also Chinese New Year!!! This year's CNY is so Pinkish!! cuz of Valentine nia~

Everybody is awaiting for this big day, me as well (Valentine is not under my awaiting list... LOL )  It's when and where the whole family go visit all our relatives bringing gifts and the youngsters receiving AngPaos (including me~ XD)  Nontheless, buying new cloths getting new hairdo and of cuz "gotong-royong" to clean up the whole house (it isn't awaited =P) is also the awaiting events to be done before CNY...  Forget to mention, getting year-end bonus pay from company is also the awaiting event for all employees during CNY ^^
It's the all new begining of the Lunar New Year, the year of TIGER-miao~  Let's all hope for the best in this whole new Lunar year~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay!! Here comes what I actually really wana blog about today~~ My new hairdo~  XD

Well, I always liked visual kei... As a result, I went to look for some similiar hairstyle from the net that look VK... And here's the photos I found:-

As were known, we call it Emo-Hairstyle, It's layer-cut actually...
The name originated from: Style it according to ur mood...
Hahahaaa... Cool right?? It's just wat I want!! ^^
*Pics taken from web*

Other than just normal hair cut, I want to color my hair as well, to look more "VK"... Well, I have already scared of hair color dye from the ex-experiences I had years back then, I want to get something less "damage".... I choosed hair-highlight (it actually does more damage, LOL).

I have been frustrating over where shud I highlight, top layer or the tails.... (tail refers to the longest bottom layer of hair) After asking for opinions from my buddies and pic hunts, I decided to color it at the tails.

Y do I choose to color such place ?? There are some facts I've considered over...

Top layer: It's always the best to highlight at the top layer, cuz it's striking, and catches ppl's attention easily,  it's the main functions of highlights. BUT, when hair grows, it is also very obvious and ended up looking ugly. 2ndly, it takes double work to protects the top layer hair from damage, from bleaching + dye, and the sun's UV-ray.

Some samples I found on the web...
Wanted to show my stylist how I want the highlight to be, it's really beautiful~
I like how the left pic's highlight was done.
*left image let me think of an anime character, Robin from One Piece, she really looks like her specially the hair style and the nose*

The tails (bottom layer): Well, actually I nvr thought into dyeing the highlight at the tails. After looking for some sample hair cut, I saw a few and I really likes them. It's unique, outstanding, and mysterious. Well, if I do the highlights at the bottom layer of the hair, I do not hv to worry the hair grown problems like the top layers. And I can always choose to cut off the hair IF the hair damage is too bad. *easy*

Some they use the hair extentions to create the effect, but it is very nice...
*pic from web*

I called up my fren, Jenny, and went to get our hair done before the saloon raises the price for CNY. It was quite late when we get there (it was thursday). We only manage to reached there at 8+ pm.

SO!!! I took all the pics with me and show it to the stylist, Irene at GC Hair Studio, for the style I want and described a bit... 

She cut the top layer of hair 1st, leaving the highlight at the final stage. Jenny as usual very choosy in thinking her hairstyle. The last hair-cut I had with her, she took HALF AN HOUR to decide the hairstyle she want. =.="  This time she took only 15 mins, LOL it's considered short~ Hahahaaa

Jenny with her new hairstyle...
Eerrr... Does not consider new le. Cuz it's almost same like her previous hairstyle..
During the whole period of hair cut session, she kept mumbling wherther she shud cut her precious tail not =.=  *faint*

The highlight process.
They helped me bleach my hair then only dye the color so it will be brighter..
Thru-out the process of bleaching and dyeing, my scalp was burning pain from the chemical >.<

  
Tadaa~~  My new hairstyle + highlight (it's copper red)
すてきですか。

To protect my Preeeeciousss hair, I bought the color-prolong shampoo and moisturizing spray to let my hair stay healthy. XD

After styling~ =P
--------------------------------------------------------------------

COMPLAIN SECTION !!! >.<"

Due to my hair was so notty & won't stay straight (it keeps curling to the right), I came across this straightening cream from schwarzkopf.
I choosed the "strong" one so to have stronger effect (I'm applying the top layer oni)... XD
p/s: "strong" is not recommended for colored, permed or fine/delicate hair.

BEFORE & AFTER
Here's the result after I "straighten" my hair.
Isn't it straight (top layer) !!  XD
I didn't either blow dry my hair nor iron them... I just towel dry and I didnt even comb my hair!
*the cream smells really bad, it only goes away after the 2nd day*


This is the most "GIK SUM" part....
Can u see the difference?? I dont hv to tell u, the pics have spoken my words...
"THE COLOR HAS FADED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Bright color can never stay long... It only last for 2 weeks... sob sob T^T

The actual color of my hair now is not as pale as the pic. It's more like dark orange or bronze/copper... Just the bright red has faded away~~
Sayonara aka-chan (red-chan) T.T

Well, 大丈夫です !!! I've decided to color my hair again... Maybe during March or Early April.
This time, I'm going for the pure red and purple. Same, I'll dye at the tail only... Triple color attack !! Red + Purple + Black~ XD  wait for ya ^^
