Styles For Occasions.

With Hari Raya and auspicious months just around the corner, why not do something special to your hair? You can try out some of these ideas.. Putting colors or highlights on your hair will add depth and movement to your hairstyle. Some of us don't really like having colors that are too light, so think of Mahogany, Burgundy or even different shades Browns. For us Asian, these colors will suit our skin tone very nicely. There are also colors that don't contain Ammonia, this range do not have that pungent smell, it will not dry up your hair that much too. Thinking of something more drastic? Bored with your straight hair? If Sexy is what you are looking for, try putting some curls on your hair. These days perms are more loose and looks very natural, gone were the days where you have more than 50 rods on your head, it just takes 12 to 15 rods to get the perm done now and you don't have to spend the whole day in the salon. Changing you hairstyle is another way to go to if you are

Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!!

I grew up in KL my whole life and I remember during my younger days, I used to look forward to Merdeka Day as I always hoped that I will be picked for the parade that goes through Dataran Merdeka, of course the holiday that comes with it. School was just another play ground for us as we would meet up and play a game of football everyday. All my school mates were of different races and were from different areas of KL and grew up thinking KL was the best city in the whole of Malaysia. Before I knew it, all my friends and I were off to different classes in secondary school but we still hang out during recesses and after school for lunch, movies or football games. I studied in St John's by the way. We had so much fun through out our school days. Unfortunately we had to go separate ways after Form 5 as most of us were of to colleges overseas. For some of us that didn't go away we kept in touched. Luckily for us there is FB now, I am in contact with all my school mates once again. Al

New Season.. New Hope!!

The English Premier League will be kicking off the new season 10/11 this coming Saturday . All the teams have already brought in new players to strengthen the squad to try to get into the top 4. Welcome back Newcastle United, Blackpool and WBA to the BPL. They will be fighting to stay up. My thought for this season, my heart will of course be with Liverpool to win the elusive league title for the 19th time but realistically I am looking at either Chelsea or MU as they do look strong. 3rd and 4th again will be between Gunners and Red of Liverpool. As for Man City and Spurs.... I see them around the top half of the table, Villa and Fulham will join them there. The rest of the teams, I don't see them challenging the top too much. This season looks promising for Liverpool as they now have a new Manager Roy Hodgson. So far he has done a not too bad job by getting in Joe Cole from Chelsea and it does seem to be working. With Gerrard and Torres staying put this season, Liverpool may have

Goodbye 42, Hello 43!!

By the time I post this blog. I would have just turn 43. Time do pass really fast, I just notice that my eldest niece is already 14 years old and has her own Fb account and 1 of my loyal client has been following me for more than 16 years. You know that you are getting there when your love ones tells you " dear you have a lot of grey hair on you, better dye your hair soon". Many tell me that age is just a number, as long as you think young, you will always be young. To myself, I do not feel old but physically I am not what I used to be. I would be able to stay up late or wake up in the wee hours of the morning to watch Liverpool FC matches but now my body would rather stay in bed and only wake up after the match is over. Looking at some of my former school mates, I can say that I am still in a pretty good shape. I wonder if working as a Hairstylist did make a difference or was it the way I was brought up in the fashion industries where everyone I met were beautiful looki

Thinking of beautiful hair.. try this..

I am sure there are many of you who would like to have hair that is full and shiny. Many scenes that you see on shampoo commercial that makes you wonder how do I get that? Well here are some ways that will help you to achieve those looks whether your hair is straight or curly. SHAMPOO & CONDITIONER This is the most important thing that you must own to be able to have beautiful hair, all you need is the correct type of shampoo and conditioner for your hair. Do ask your hairstylist which is the best for you. I would recommend professional ranges instead of over-the-counter products from supermarkets/ pharmacies... they are a little more expensive but they do make a difference on your hair TAKE CARE OF YOUR SCALP Not only does your hair need maintenance but your scalp too needs good care. This is to ensure that your new hair will grow strong and healthy. It all comes down to how healthy your scalp is and if its not taken care well, problems such as Hair loss, Dandruff, Oiliness, Dryn
