It was Sophie of Beautynomics who pointed her out to me. We were at F Salon in Greenbelt, where I had my new haircut. Sophie fell in-love with the soft curls that reminded her so much of Marimar, main character of this Philippine-adaptation of a Spanish telenovela with the same title, which she’s been avidly following.
Looking at the tall, statue-esque frame of the girl, you can’t help but admire the way she easily pulled off the light-coloured soft curls. Sophie requested that I take a paparazzi shot but twas difficult considering I had a relatively large camera which is hard …read more

Bench™ Fix
Sooo Polished
Shine Wax
Gives hair definition and shine.
With Olive Oil
To keep my hair from going all over the place. Yes, tame it, so to speak. I use this particular styling product from Bench™, a local clothing company that branched out to offering beauty and hair products.
I’ve been using this one for more than two years now. I like how it’s not a mousse or gel or any of those sticky hair products, it’s just a styling wax to help me take away the frizz and add a bit of shine to my otherwise dull hair. It’s quite helpful esp …read more

I know I just had a haircut a month back but I had intended to get something shorter. I wish I had met Phoebe then. I so loved her funky, edgy hair when I first saw it during the Blogger Mixer and I had told myself, “she has got to take me to her stylist!” Yes. That’s how badly I wished to get away from my boring long locks. Gah.
Thank god for Phoebe, who did take me to her stylist over at F Salon and helped me find a fabulous hair style, I went and got “BOB-ed”. I had needed …read more

Reminiscing my old locks, I’m reminded of a hairstyle I donned up picking up Style It Less fashionista Dexie’s tip on getting her Les Curles. I loved the soft curls that somewhat looked so natural on my own. It looked so romantic! I felt so feminine.
While styling my hair with the curling iron, I kept telling myself, “remember to hold the curling iron vertically! That’s what Dexie advised.” So, vertical it stayed for 20 seconds. I applied the Finesse Mousse before the iron touched my hair to ensure curl hold. Surprisingly, I was able to style my hair faster. I …read more

Just a peek on how my new hair looks like. I know it’s not as funky as my early hair options but, hey, I adore the new colour.
What I had my hairdresser do:

Cellophane with reddish brown colour
Layers, cutting off a couple inches
Usual Blow-dry

I’ve been considering a hair cut. I’m sort of bored with my hair, you see. I’ve always worn it long. I’m thinking of cutting it short. I’ve never settled on a hairstyle, though. While I’m wallowing in my indecision, I’ve bought myself a curling iron to entertain. I was hoping it will take my mind off the cutting of the hair thing. But, alas, I’m still thinking about it. Heh.
Today, I found myself googling for Asian Hairstyles and I was led to Glam’s website filled with photos of Asian women with different hairstyles. i narrowed my choices down …read more
