Questions for your Hairstylist.

I spend most of the time chatting with my clients about their boyfriends/girlfriends, husband/wife, celeb gossips and even about themselves, but that's the exact opposite of what you should be doing.

My reasoning: we are goldmine of info about your hair, figuring out your face shape, styling products and techniques and you're cheating yourself if you don't grill your hairdresser for the details while you're sitting in the chair.

It makes sense -- so here are some questions you should be asking.


Before the cut:
- Will this work with my hair type?
- Will this flatter my face shape?
- If you intend to have your hair coloured, will this colour work with my skin tone?
- Does long hair or short hair suit me better?
- How would I look in curly hair or straight hair?
- Am I losing hair or any other scalp disorder?



During cut, perms or any other chemical jobs:
- What shampoo and conditioner do you recommend?
- Where should I buy the products from? From Salons or normal shops?
- How often should I wash my hair?
- Should I use conditioner at all? Just on my ends?
- Do I need to have treatments done and how often?
- How often do I need to come back to the salon for the next touch up/cut?
- Would there be much maintenance at home with the new hairdo?
- Is DIY colours and straightening the same as the products in the salon? Should you do it?


After the cut:
- What are some other ways that I can style with this cut? Any tricks for days when I'm feeling lazy?
- What styling products should I use?
- How much of them should I use?
- Where should I apply them (roots, ends or all over)?
- When should I apply them (right after I shower, once hair is somewhat dry)?
- What styling tools should I use?
- How should I use them? (Ask your stylist to walk you through the styling processes step-by-step.)
- Can I use hair tonic everyday even without washing my hair?

Be brave to make changes to your hair if not you will always be the same old same old person. Trust your hairstylist as they should know what is best for you.

Why All The Knives???

I know that the past 5 weeks have not been easy on any of Liverpool FC's fans to endure. The team has not really played all that well, things in the boardroom also have not been kind. Rumours of businessmen from China, Hong Kong, another Americans and Arabian Royalty buying over the club has just passed and gone. Come first week of October, we might have a new owner at LFC and all us fans really hope that this time it will happen once an for all. With RBS forcing sale on the club I should think by then there will be more bids from potential buyers. The only thing that I am not happy about is that all the "HOO HAA" from the press when Liverpool Fc plays badly, why are they always picking on LFC? When the team wins, there are no praises, when there are draws they say that the team is not clicking and should have won and the worst of all, when the team loses, the press will blame everything from the boardroom to the kitmen. Why aren't there any bad press on MU, Arsenal,

Hair trends for 2010

HAIR TRENDS FOR 2010 In 2010 we will be seeing a lot of retro hairstyles of the 80’s being introduce with some new and more modern twist to it. For one, VERY CURLY locks will be back for most of the hair length as Volume is the in thing with this look. As the 80’s have many different kind of curls, 2010 will see curls are more controlled and also softer. The ‘HELO’ cut is back again but with a softer line instead of a very hard line back in the 80’s. This hairstyle is so easy to maintain at home but it is the most difficult hair cut to do. The BOB will still be in fashion but with a straighter line and slightly longer. There will be a lot of RED shade in 2010, Deep Red, Shocking Chilli Red, Copper, Orange just any kind of Reds will be the colour to go for.
