❤ Haircut ❤ @ Art Noise

Hello ~

Today I'm going to write about my recent haircut at Art Noise ^^ actually I didnt really plan to write about this but my experience there was pretty pleasant so I've decided to share it ;D

Basically... recently my hair has gotten really long (like, beyond my waist) and I normally will gladly opt to keep my hair as long as I can :'( but my work doesnt allow me to keep long hair ( it gets in the way of work ) and so, I have to cut it short :( *heartache*

Initially I had wanted to cut just a little bit (about 10 cm or so) but after thinking for a while , I thought I might as well just cut a lot - because, otherwise, I will end up cutting 10 cm every half a year or so ( more sufferings T__T) - and so my initial options are either :

Shoulder Length

if I have the courage to do so

Chest Length

if I chickened out at the last moments ... ^^"

And guess what ,

I CHICKENED OUT WHEN I WAS ALREADY IN THE SALON

so I showed some of the chest-length hair model pictures to my hairstylist that day, Kanako-san >,<.

This time, I cut my hair at Art Noise. I really dont want to think too much about cutting my hair so no - I didnt choose the store (hahaha) I actually asked Ee-chan to help me pick one shop online that is near my house T___T and he chanced upon Art Noise, which is a Japanese Hair Salon operated by Japanese (Duh .. hahaha ^^). He thought it may be a good salon and so he helped me book a slot and didnt think too much about it until the day arrived. Was pretty worried about what was to come that day - I'm sorry.. I really am just a coward when it comes to hair cut... its the same as going to the dentist for me T__T

Aaand this is Art Noise's interior :)

The store is located on the second storey of one of the shophouses in Holland Village :)

Its a pretty small store with cosy and warm interior decor :) Love the wooden furnishing ❤

That day, my hairstylist was Kanako-san ❤

She's a pretty Japanese Lady from near Okinawa who is really nice and kind. We had some difficulty communicating initially cause she cant speak English really well as she's just moved to Singapore in January ^^ but she tried her best to understand what I requested and also, Ee-chan was there and so helped me translate :)

I really love how she's really meticulous when cutting my hair - from the balancing, layering etc ;D It was nicely done :3 I feel that the way the hair wash was done is good too ^^ She was really gentle and thorough and keep on asking me questions to clarify what I wanted :D I wanted my hair to be at mid-chest length when curled and she clarified a few times and curled my hair at the end to make sure its of the desiredlength :) She even asked about how heavy /light I want my hair to be, if I curl my hair often so she can layer it in a way thats easy to curl (because I do curl my hair quite often) :)

We were offered some drinks, green tea was available too but I wanted some water at the time :3

I didnt take many pictures because as I've mentioned, I didnt really plan to write about this visit at all (in fact I rushed to take picture of the salon's interior right after I was done because the shop was already 30 minutes past its closing time and yet Kanako-san was still doing my hair calmly :'D ). Anyway, here are some pictures of my current hair length.

I didnt even bother to wear lenses or proper make up that day and it was late at night (I was their last customer) ^^" hahaha sorry for the tired/sleepy look

❤

New Hair !!

Sad but much lighter and manageable :3

❤

It didnt look too short but believe it or not, I've already cut about 25 cm of my hair to achieve this length =___= A bit heartache but my head feels much much lighter now ^^ Im actually pretty happy I cut my hair this time around and I got some advice from her with regards to the type of hair colour which suits me too :3 Its easier at work now compared to last time (last time, I have to do aunty bun (with those huge aunty hair clip) at work or else if I do a normal tight bun , I'll get a headache at the end of the day. )

❤

Overall, yep Im hapy about my haircut and

Review ❤ Moe Moe Repair Aid by MoltoBene

Hello again ~ ❤

(sorry for using old pic :3 this was the pic of the time I was using this product so ... hahaha ^ this was chosen )

Some of my friends have been asking me about the products I am using for my hair. So after a while , I've decided maybe I should just reviw them because I do have a few of them . Some of the hair care products I use which are more affordable and more available locally includes Essentials' hair oil , Liese Hair Cocktail Moisturizing Hair Serum and Rougeria Hair Oil by Molto Bene ❤ One which is not so easily found locally is Moe Moe Repair Aid by MoltoBene (same company as Rougeria) ❤

I bought this at about $40-$50 (sigh....) when I first bleached my hair and was not disciplined in using it until last year when my hair condition became BAD - like more tangled , especially at the end. At that time, I immediately used this (which is available at my house ) before switching to Essentials (after its finished - it lasted for about half a year or so ) and Rougeria recently, after my essentials is finished :3

"A leave-in treatment that moisturizes and softens hair with watery milky texture"

The packaging and the bottle is pretty cuute ❤

And I love products with pump applicator :3 Its more hygienic and easier to portion :3

❤

? Greasy or Not ?

The repair aid is basically a creamy-milky solution which is applied to hair just like most hair serum or hair oil :3 The serum texture is also light and coats the hair fibers easily , resulting in smoother hair :) Most hair oil are sticky and leaves a greasy feel either on your hand or worse, on the hair !!! This is why I am pretty cautious when buying hair oil, serums, or milk. However, this one doesnt leave a greasy residue and smoothens the hair well ;3

? Effective ?

Yep! After repeated use (about a month of diligent application after every hair washing session) , I also noticed that my hair has a fluffier and softer finish :3 Despite having been bleached, my hair wasnt in as bad a condition than it should have been :) its tangle-free and easy to brush/comb through ;)

? Fragrance ?

The repair aid has a light floral scent which is quite elegant and not too overwhelming or cheap smelling :3 I cant use products with strong smell because they just simply give me a bad headache afterwards (literally, YES - I get headache if I smell strong perfume etc too Q___Q ) So I am pretty careful with fragrance in my products. Fortunately, this one has a fine fragrance.

❤

? So will I buy it again ?

Hmmmm , this is difficult. Overall, I quite love this product and the packaging is really cute ( I am a sucker for cute stuff) - but the price tag is really quite overwhelming :( So , iiif I managed to find this product on discount, or if a friend of mine managed to help me find in Japan (apparently its not so easy to find in Japan too) or if Rakuten is having sales etc , I will probably buy it again. Otherwise, I'll just stick to my more affordable Essentials or Rougeria which has comparable result if you factor in their PRICE - but has a sliiiightly (just a little bit) more oily feel to it ^^ (to begin with, they're hair oil , not like this repair aid ^^ so yea, theyre more oily but ooonly a lil)

? Yay or Nay for you?

The pictures below were taken when I was using Moe Moe Repair Aid .My hair condition at about that time - pretty light , fluffy and smooth . Didnt really take a close up picture but it works for me ;3 Have you seen this product around ? What do you think about it ?

Anyway , hope this is useful :3

❤ Ciao ❤

❤ Going 2-tone Brown with VELLUS Hair Studio ❤ SEIFUKU

Hello People~~

As you may have known from my FB, I've recently changed my hair colour from Brown x Pink Ombre to 2-tone brown for some reasons :

(1)Its a bit difficult to maintain a nice ombre shade with my crazy work schedule :( No matter how much I love the ombre shade >,<;;;; hurhurr....

(2) I have to cut my hair anyway because its getting difficult maintaining my past-waist long hair :/ I have to use 3-4 pumps of shampoo and 5-6 pumps of conditioner every single time I wash my hair TAT;;; hurhur....

and lastly but more importantly !!!!

(3) I look more 'guai' :D !!!

(literal translation : 'obedient' but I meant it in a way that It gave me an easier time at my work/school because you know:P :

- In my field of work people will judge your credibility by your hair colour :(((( SAD

- I dont need to bun up my hair EVERYDAY anymore just to hide that pretty pink TAT;;;

- the 2 tone is quite nice too ;D so yea... I'm more or less ready for a new hair colour~

Last few camwhores of my Ombre hair before I went off to Vellus to cut it off ^^"""

(sorry lah , Toilet camwhore x'D I was rushing off and I have no big mirror in my room)

So I dropped by Vellus Hair Studio to dye my hair to a lighter shade of 2 tone brown :3

I have to study even as Trevin dyed my hair TAT;;;

hurhur.... because I havent managed to memorize what I'm supposed to memorize by then... I swear I may have some early onset dementia already... No matter how many times I read =_= I just cant seem to retain it...

I felt really sad that they have to cut off about 15 cm of my ahir ends...

I dont knwo if its only me or .... but I always feel pretty sad when I have to cut my hair TAT Do you guys feel the same too when you have to cut your hair ? >,<;;;

Anyway, skipping the hours of tedious process ^^

After Trevin worked tirelessly to give me the two-tone colour I wanted

Here's the end results !!!

Ta-daaaah!!!

I only remembered to take picture of my hair after I've had my makeup REMOVED !! >,<

So yea , the picture below can be an eyeburn but focus on the HAIR ! The HAIR kay !! xD

The two-tone is somehow not very obvious in pictures but its actually quite obvious in real life :3 The inner layer of my hair has some strands with lighter brown tone on it while the outside layer is made up of the darker shade of brown (so I wont be scolded at work ^^ ) heheee... *ignore my humongous forehead LOL* xD
