Hair Care & Products

Hair had always been one of the most important part for me. Scientifically it is defined as filamentous biomaterial that grows from follicles found in the dermis. Please do not ask what does it mean as I have no idea as well. LOL! But anyhoo, since my hair is my important asset, I am doing whatever it takes to ensure it looks nice. Well, looking nice alone is not enough, it has to be touchable too!

My Hair Profile - I am blessed with a solid black, medium-thick, straight hair which I believe it came from my mother's. Since young, I kept my hair long - and the longest record I had was up to my thigh. Back then, my hair was all shinny and healthy looking BUT the burden was my tiny head got to weigh up those hair and shampooing/drying takes forever. Yikes! Regardless, I love my hair just as much.

Change - I had always forbidden processes that could damage hair i.e. perming, straightening, colouring, or simply by ironing. However, after years of wearing it au naturel, I decided to colour it - maroon brown or marshmallow brown and coloured I did. So there it goes, au naturel gone, fresh new look arise. Nonetheless maintaining healthy hair is always difficult.

Maintaining - In the beginning, I took for granted on all the advices given by professionals. Then split ends and frizziness came walking in. I was shocked and got really upset. So I figured something needs to be done. I bought treatment oil and styling cream. What I did was applying the treatment oil after hair wash with an amount close to 20cents coin size. Once the application done, I begin blow drying at the heat of low. If I am needed to use the iron, that is when styling cream comes in handy. Apply styling cream before ironing helps keeping the hair soft and shinny.

Products -  Below shown are the products used by me and please note that there is no whatsoever intentions in promoting the brands.
