I have been very busy getting my new salon at Bukit Damansara ready for business of late. Now that the salon is up and running, I am able to continue writing my blog which I have left abandon for a few weeks already.With 2010 is coming to an end soon, what is better then to get yourself a nice creative hairstyle for the coming New Year. Next year's trends are very similar to what we are wearing now just that there are a few changes here and there. Firstly, the most important thing that you must have are a FULL FRINGE. It is worn with most of the hairstyles next year so make sure you ask your hairstylist to see if you can wear it. Perms are softer and bigger so that there are more movement and lightness to the hair. This will make it easier for you to take care of it at home. Hair cuts now will see a new dimension of PIXIE cuts, much more movement and choppier layers. CLASSIC BOBs are still in fashion with a harder lines and LONG LAYERS are back for those who still wa...

Twelve games have passed, LFC is sitting in 9th place with 16 points in the BPL league (could have been 5th with 18 points if we had won). I am truly happy with the four straight wins including the one that LFC gunned down Chelsea, but the only thing that still bugs me is that how come Roy Hodgson still approaches games with very defensive mode? We could have won the match against Wigan on Wednesday if he had made a more attacking approach and offensive instructions to the players. Instead of putting in a more attacking formation when you are tied at 1-1, our dear Mr Hudgson when on and became even more defensive by introducing another defensive midfielder (C. Poulsen) and Jonjo Shelvey, he could have just played Jovanovic or Ngog for more attacking mode. In the first place the whole set up was suppose to be the same team that beat Chealsea on Sunday but what I saw was the same team with no sense of winning but to come out with a draw from the start. The tactics was to stay deep and de...

Hello hello.... what do you know, 2011 is just two months away. Time just flew by when you are having fun. So Halloween is just a few days away, I am very sure that many of us are now looking for a costume or two for the party on the 31st of October. Well here are some history and ideas that you can ponder on before you go get your costume. Did you know that Halloween is a celebration of the "Death"? In olden times, it is to celebrate the end of the "Lighter Half" and welcome the "Darker Half". It is believed that this is the time where the "Boarders" between this "World" and the "Other World" becomes thin. This allows the spirits (harmful or non- harmful) to pass through. Family's ancestors are invited home and honoured, while other harmful spirits needed to be warded off. This is where the costumes come into play. The purpose was to disguise oneself as a harmful spirit to avoid harm to themselves. This is also the purpos...

This is the question I always get from my customers, what does health have to do with nice looking hair? I assure you that when we are healthy not only our hair is nice but our skin and other parts of us will look good too. This because all the good nutrients are being absorbed by our cells and organs. Our hair is made of Protein so if our body takes in all the protein that is needed, the rest of the unused protein will go to our hair. If you notice, a pregnant lady will have very shiny and thick hair. This is caused by the extra vitamins supplements ( protein and calcium) that she is taking. Your hair will look dull and lifeless if you are not feeling well or seriously ill. The medications that is taken by you will be absorbed by your hair and will definitely make your hair lose its shine and luster. Health also plays an important role on your scalp too. When you are stressed your body will react differently. Normally the first sign is on your scalp, you might feel tightness or other...

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, ...

Today many of us have a similar thing in life, Hair Loss. This is one of the many problems we face endlessly. Until today we are not able to find a cure for this problem same goes with White hair as it is in our body hormones. Males have more symptoms of hair loss as the male hormones Androgen will leave most of us men bald by the time they hit the age of 35. That is also why they have created a chart call The Hamilton's Chart. This chart show the declining areas of the hairline on the head. Ladies faces less hair loss problem as their hormones Estrogen will prevent them any major hair loss. Ladies only face these problems when they have imbalanced hormones during Menopause as Estrogen decrease from their body. There are time we do not take care of our scalp too. Poor hygiene and less knowledge on the right kind of Shampoo and Conditioner to be used are the main factor here. Good shampoo contain less sodium sulfate so that it will not be too strong on the cleansing of the scalp. Co...

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...
