I finally decided that I will finally perm my hair. My hair is naturally half wavy and half straight - a phenomenon for hairdo-s. However, it was horribly dry - a hair nightmare. And was totally out of control and there was just no way it could naturally be nice unless I go for treatment every month or so, which by the way will cost me a bomb. I figured might as well curl it all the way then!And so I did. (pic on the left shows my hair one day after perming) Cost me a bomb too. Took 4 hours to get it right. Four really long hours. And as I began to discover, maintanence is so so high. I had no idea it was so difficult. Mind you, I'm totally non-beauty-savvy. There are many things I don't know. Like what to apply when or how or so forth. I'm still wondering why the top layer of my hair is so dry and the bottom layer (under the thick pile of mane) is so beautiful. Someone help?
A lot of comments I got was that it was really nice. However, I felt quite insecure about it. Not sure why. Perhaps cos i wasn't used to looking at myself like that. Plus the extra mouse on my hair... well it just makes me feel weird that my hair felt like straw. But I guess looking at the above pic now makes me realise that it's alrite after all.
Because once I washed it, and not knowing exactly how to get back the above look. I had this fear that the perm will just go away after I washed it. But My hair now looks like the below. (Yea I mengada-ing) Someone told me I look like I'm trying to "fat hau". Just don't ask me what I was trying to pull... Cos I have no idea.
Anyone care to help me fix it? Or is this alrite? The thought of paying some more at the saloon to get back a look that is fit for a dinner, well its a little scary. I have no idea what happened to the curls. That's why I had earlier prefered straight hair - more manageable, controllable, predictable. Curls... they're too random. yea Val, randomness is not all me. But I'm comforming a little. *wink*Speaking of new-ness. Lynne and I went CNY shopping these days. Yea in Seremban where else - Jusco lah. I'm an express shopper btw. Not your average girl shopping. I know what I want and I know what I don't. The only time I pause to think is for practicality and price. I won't try and 'fat hau' again and model. Save you the torture of seeing my lame-ness. But I'm happy with my recent shopping result. I don't ever remember being able to shop so much before. Thanks mommy for the bonus!! Hahahaa.....
Day 1: alone 45 mins - 3 item - total Rm100
Day 2: with Lynne 1hr 45mins - 5 items - total Rm150 (Lynne got 4 items for RM150)
Day 3: with Lynne - (to be updated soon)

harlo...honestly..i dont understand what was the problem u found...
but i know one thing la....it looks nice...need to do any more thing meh??haha..no need gua....:)
ok here's the thing... pics (clockwise from top left) 2,3,5&6 looks ok but the rest just... well... y'know what i mean. ok, 5 is REALLY nice. notice that those pics all have ur ears showing whilst the rest just plain drops down everywhere n messes up the whole hairdo. bob marley would've been proud though. i believe him now... no woman, no cry!
though i may not be a specialist in this field i do know a thing or 2 about hair. hehe. believe me i've done my homework and had my fair share of these problems (not my hair though coz my locks are thick, healthy and well... perfect).
try to even out the bottom part so it doesn't look like ur spaniels. pull it back behind ur ear(s). get a good serum... preferably kerastase or swartzkof (however u spell that) and USE IT! and finally, blow-dry ur hair lah after shower. u need to brush it constantly as well anne.
yes maintenance very high la, bla bla bla. there's no harm in wanting to look good anne. u take care now, i do hope my solution works. if not then i know this really cheap barber. uses a lawn mower. 3 bucks. and DO call me. unless u want a kick in the ass again.
hey anne. my sis just permed her hair.. anything saloon finish will need maintenance.
1) Buy a good hair oil / serum that is for damaged hair or permed hair.
2) After you wash your hair, you must towel dry it until it's half dried, then you apply the product from 1), and then you must do this twisting motion to all your locks.
3) Continue doing the twisting motion to all the locks.
4) let it dry.
5) you just need to go bk to the hairdresser every now and then, like once a mth or bimonthly, to get them to do the hair blow just to get the curves back to shape.
that's the reality of saloon finished hair.
Hope it helps. My sis' hair is maintained pretty well using this method...
