Hair affair
So much love for my post-wedding short
hair! Been fantasizing on cutting it for the longest time, but I just couldn’t
because of my wedding. But finally after the wedding I was ready to storm the
salon and cut 80% of my hair. Didn’t hesitate for even a second because I was so looking forward to saving on hair products, cutting down on my blow dry time and just sporting a new look after 4 years of looking the same.
I was extremely pleased with my shoulder-length hair so after almost two months, I thought maybe it’s time to get crazy again. I collaborated with The Comb Hair Studio this time round, I went there with the expectation of doing C-curls (okay, I admit I’m not very adventurous) but then Senior Hairstylist, Cici, talked me into doing an S-curl instead to spice things up a bit. I agreed! And voila, the results are below!
The C-curl/S wave treatment is called the
Magic Setting at The Comb, for the length of my hair it would usually cost
S$300. Depending on your hair type, the treatment would usually last for 6
months. The entire procedure took 2 hours and a half, but I wasn’t bored at all
as I’ve been happily drinking coffee and sipping juice (you are given a beverage menu once you settle down) Been also chatting with
Cici who shared with me some tips on how to care for your hair and how to style
it after showering.
The procedure started with her cutting my
hair to my desired length and then I was sent to have my hair washed and then
the curling rods-machine (I’m sorry I don’t know what it’s called) was attached
to my hair to hold the curls. This last step may have been the longest for around 45 minutes.
My hair was checked every 10 minutes to ensure
that the treatment is not excessive and therefore damaging hair. Then my hair was dried and a product was applied to soften the curls. Washed again and the blow dried and finally trimmed a bit to style it nicely.
I’ve been wearing my new hair for a week
now, and it’s very low maintenance. After I wet my hair, I actually don’t need
to blow dry and style it. As for the products, what helped for me is applying a
little bit of Argan oil to make it smoother and shiny. After a few months, the
curls on my hair will loosen and straighten a bit, so when that happens you
need to style your hair a bit and add more products to it.
