Jap curls?
Okay.... this is going to sound like a very bimbotic entry, so bear with me.
Should i go for Jap curls or my usual rebonded hair again this time?
My hair has totally grown out of its rebonded state monkey ages ago, and since i've postponed going for a haircut for so long and my hair grows so fast that my black roots that have since grown out covers more area than my dyed ones, i've now wat u would call an unruly black mop for a head.
Shucks. No wonder i dun have any guys hitting on me for two months now.
Just kidding =p
So i tot its high time to go give myself a treat by going to a nice hair salon for a haircut with the money i've so painstakingly earned so that i may enjoy such material pleasures with but had instead decided to scrimp n save n give to my mum to cover family expenses for the past 2mths (no kidding. the last time i checked, i had un-countingly given my mum more than three-quarters of all my salary).
Wat the heck i tot, its time for me to spend abit of my own money.
So i happily went to Far East Plaza with Hx on friday intending to go to Hollywood's Secret for a haircut (Xl introed me; she had a hircut there and Chris said it was pretty marvellous. The stupid bundang.).
But wat do i see when i finally found the shop?
A $148 package that includes everything from hair consultation, rebonding, jap curls, digital perm, haircut, wash, colour, highlights, hair and colour treatment and et cetera, et cetera.
xin dong anot???
wah, can u believe such a good deal?! n not from a neighbourhood salon oso leh, Hollywood Secrets sia!
Wah, excited man! Even Hx (who incidentally was oso looking for a cheaper salon to rebond her hair) found it a good deal.
But becos I wasn't at all mentally prepared to go for rebonding or anything more than a simple haircut that day, I enquired with their hair consultant (who incidentally was a pretty nice lady, not those hiao n overly made-up hairstylists u see in salons like Jean Yip, Kimage or Jentzen) on wat she would recommend I do to my hair from all the choices in the package.
After analyzing my hair for awhile (wah, I paiseh to let her touch that mop of bristles oso, but she's very nice, din comment on how bad my hair was blah blah blah need wat treatment blah blah blah like other hairstylists), she recommended that I go for Jap curls n this darker shade of brown hair colour.
Jap curls leh.
Wah sai, I can't even imagine how I'll look in any kind of curls.
N becos the variety of Jap curls are so variant, I asked her wat kinds she receommended. N the two she showed me from magazines are chao curly can?
Not the big waves shu nu sort, but those very... fashion-forward sort.
Aiyah, very curly jio dui le.
That on me, unless I dye goldish or do lots of highlights, I'm going to look chao auntified with. Or at least, that's how I imagine I'll end up looking anyway -.-
But the choices are up to me anyway.
But becos I wasn't mentally prepared for such a big hair makeover that day, n becos the salon was going to close in an hour's time anyway (it was 7.30pm, n their salon closes at 8.30pm on weekdays. 7.30pm on weekends. Biang.) and I estimated my whole hair would take about 4-5 hrs to do (rebonding or Jap curl long hair 3hrs, haircut n treatment 1hr, hair dye n highlights 1-2hrs. damn. Can have two meals in the shop le.), I decided to take some time to think.
So here I am now.
Wat shd I do wat shd I do...
Too bad I'm not good with Photoshop. Otherwise I can experiment with how I'll look like with both rebonded hair n the different kinds of Jap curls.
Rebonding is safe, but I know I always look bad the first month or so after the rebonding when my hair is so straight it tends to plaster on my face -.-
Jap curls would be a new experience that I can try if I feel adventurous enough. But the matter of wat type of curls is a big headache n probably the biggest deterrent.
Curls tend to make one look older than they already are, and thats wat i dun need. On the other hand, it can soften a person's looks (with the right sorta curls), n depending on wat kinda curls, cn look very nice indeed.
Either way, for the hair colour I'll listen to the hairstylist's opinions, but will definitely do highlights.
Btw, I cant dye too light a colour anyway becos I'm oso doing the rebonding/Jp curls at the same time so i'll spoil my hair if I do too many treatments in a day (light colours has a lot of bleaching properties). Highlights are ok I guess becos its selectively choosing parts of the hair only, so at least my whole head wont be (more) dry and brittle.
Rebond or Jap curls... Suggestions anyone?
I'll be making an appointment for next weekend (or thurs/fri if I am taking a day's leave from work for school) so I have about a week to decide.
Meanwhile, guess I gotta keep my eyes peeled for any gals who sport a nice head of Jap curls... or alternatively, any deterring hideous examples...
