Hair Care - Part 3; The 'Win a Prada Wallet' contest is closing soon!!!

ok, below is e 3rd part of Chapter 2 of Barbie Hsu's book - Mei Rong Dai Wang which is about hair care... Personally, Barbie reli veri seldom visits e hair salon. unless she's damn bored or when she has nothing better 2 do when accompanyin her frenz 2 hair parlour, she will den ask e hairdresser 4 hair treatment. Otherwise, she rather DIY at home. Normally, e staff will roll up ur hair durin hairwash without combing it beforehand. After washin, ur hair will be entangled and wrapped up in a towel. after unwrappin, ur hair will be combed and blown dry straightaway. U must noe that from e start when ur hair was twisted here and there durin washin, it was oredy experiencin damage! If at tis moment, combin is added, you definitely will drop more hair than usual!

ALL ABOUT HAIR CONDITIONING

1st thing u must noe:
Hair conditioning, as e name suggests, is applied 2 conditioning e hair ends, so u dun nid 2 use e conditioner on e scalp.

2nd thing u muz noe:
Only e hair under ur ears need 2 condition. In other words, it is not required to use e conditioner from e top of ur head 2 e top of ur ears. Ur hair will feel very heavy if u use it on ur whole head!

3rd thing u muz noe:
U do not rub ur hair ends like washing ur hair. U just use ur fingers 2 smoothen e hair ends and then hold them in one hand. Wait till all ur hair is smooth, rinse it.

HOW TO DEAL WITH SILKY HAIR INTELLIGENTLY?

Dun doubt, Barbie Hse has as many hairdryers as her combs. For those who say that we do not need 2 blow our hair, Barbie has something 2 say. She thinks that if we dun blowdry our hair and let it dry naturally often, it will become very flat. U may feel that ur hair is smooth initially and that ur hair quality is very good. However, after a few occasions, she realised that not only her hair has turned very fine, even finer than ur pores, it will grow until extremely vulnerable! It will drop once u comb it! So e thinking of not blowdrying ur hair is a mistake. If u worry that blowdrying will hurt ur hair ends, then at least u must dry it with a hairdryer!

As a Beauty Queen (Mei Rong Dai Wang), Barbie insists on blowdrying all her hair with a hairdryer after washing!

Barbie owns many varieties of hairdryers that are meant for blowdrying her hair. She has one that can maintain e heat at a particular temperature and won't overheat her precious hair. If she is blowing at a certain area for too long and causes it to be hot, this hairdryer will light up and let her noe so she will immediately change her position. This is her favourite hairdryer as it is considerate 2 her owner. See below:

Philips hairdryer - Barbie's favourite

Barbie has another powerful hairdryer. There is a curler at e top part and a wind outlet at e bottom part. She can comb her hair while blowing it. Then, her hair will become extremely straight and radiant. Although this kind of hairdryer can spoil ur hair 2 some extent, it is very useful as it makes ur hair look really shiny. For ladies with rebonded hair, they dun need 2 go 2 salon 2 blow hair if they have it. This is also Barbie's beloved hairdryer for her hair styling! See below:

National hairdryer - Barbie loves 2 use tis 4 styling her hair!

Barbie's experience:
Sometimes during styling, she needs 2 bun her hair. Because of tis, her hair quality will be spoilt. Usually, as she really does not wash her hair for many days. it neither looks nice nor is smooth, she will then bun her hair.

A simple bun

A 'MUST-LEARN' FOR BABES WANNABE
Hairstyles that suit you, brighten ur mood everyday

Many of Barbie's friends willl enter a hair salon happily but leave in a low spirit. Why? Spending money supposes to make u beautiful and making u beautiful by right should uplift ur mood! The reason is they desire to follow Meg Ryan or Winona Ryder's hairstyle, yet this is an impossible mission for hairstylists!

Winona Ryder's short hair is one that adheres to e scalp and absolutely cute and chic. With asian hair quality, tis is not achievable. If u are an easterner with natural curls, ur hair will blow up. Even if u have straight hair of great quality, cutting it short will make it stand. It is indeed very difficult to stick ur hair to ur scalp, unless u apply alot of styling water. Similarly, Meg Ryan's hair quality is one of typical westerner, a really soft type. After cutting it and grasp it at any time, it will become wavy. On e contrary, we, asians do not have such hair quality.

That is why we must communicate very well with e hairstylist. Barbie suggests that u look for a picture of e hairstyle and ask e hairstylist whether he or she can do it. If he or she says that it is not easy or e chance of success is extremely low, u better leave e salon after ur hairwash on that day, dun insist on doing it!

I will end this Chapter with e last part when i have e time 2 do it. Not sure when it will be. So pls rem 2 click on my blog 2 chk it out lol! Cya guys~! Have a nice day and nite~!
