HELLO JELLO~
I'm back with my hair guide and loads of yummy food snaps from over the week ;)
I've only replied to comments from my previous post just awhile ago since work kind of sucked te life out of me recently @@;; Workworkwork!!
HAIR TIPS & NOTES
Want volume?
Blowdry your hair upside-down! You'll definitely see the results! I do this instead of using any volumizing products. I think volumizing shampoo/conditioner/hairsprays are really bad in general. Just because the concept for creating volume for them are to 'frizz' your hair until you get that poof. I really dislike frizzy hair so when i tried out those shampoos/conditioners etc. i felt like it did more damage than anything. The volumizing hairsprays were the worst though, extreme tangles than just looked...horrible.
Losing that healthy look?
To make your hair look healthier without putting guck in your hair... just lightly spray it with heat-resistant hairspray (the ones you use before you curl/straighten your hair with hot tools) It can help bring your hair back to life ;)
How often do you dye your hair? Touch-ups?
I usually dye my whole head every 7/8 months. I do root touch-ups roughly every 4 weeks inbetween. Dying your hair can be super expensive. I also do not recommend at-home dyes just because i feel that you do not get anywhere near the same results as you would in a salon. Plus, it's more damaging as people usuallt don't have the same tools and hair care products that they treat your hair with in salons. Save up for that hair!
How much does it cost to dye your hair at a salon?
It ranges for everyone, everywhere. When i dye my hair, it usually costs $180-200 for a full head (take note that i have long hair) and roughly $80-90 for root touch up ... there goes all my money..
How should i dry my hair?
After washing your hair, towel dry your hair completely. Do not rub the towel back and forth on your scalp, it creates friction.. FRIZZ, FUZZ. Pat it dry on your hair using both hands. Blow dry your hair so that it is still 30% wet. Then leave the rest to air dry ^^
**Do not leave your hair to just air drying. When your hair is wet it is a hundred times easier for it to be prone to breakage and loss of hair :/

Have...LICE?
I've never had it happen to me before, but i've read in an article study a few years back that you can you Cetaphil (the facial cleanser) to wash your hair rid of lice easily :) You basically cover your whole head with the product and using a narrow tooth comb, comb out the lice bit by bit until they are all gone. Clean, inexpensive, and super easy. Magic!
Dandruff?!
Switch to the right shampoo/conditioner that has herbal ingredients capable of countering it. Also, as troublesome as it may sound, blowdry with cooler air... the dandruff/fungus cannot survive in colder temperature ;)
Hair too thin? Loss of hair?
My friend recommended that using Mane and Tails (a shampoo designed for horses but can be used by people) to trigger a regrowth and maintanence of hair. My friend said that one's parent uses it and works quite well.
You bleached your hair BLONDE?
Use...purple shampoo or shampoo designed for coloured hair. Otherwise, your colour will fade in less than a week. Blowdry with cool-warm temperatures to maintain best colour.
Want your hair to smell nice?
Spray a pump of your favorite perfume onto your comb and then work your way around your head. From a distance it is not obvious, and when closer up it is subtle and nice ^^
A few basic hairstyles...
The Side Pony
The Light Up-Do
The Tomboy-Chic
The Loose Curls
My Secret Hair Products!
So what do i use to help maintain long healthy hair?
My miracle workers...
L'oreal Professionnel Serie Expert - Vitamino Color Conditioner
L'Oreal Professionnel Serie Expert -Vitamino Color Incell Hydro-Resist Color Protecting Gel-Masque Hair And Scalp Treatments
These work amazingly well...in combination. I find that the conditioner and hair mask is a MUST .. better used together (conditioner, lightly) As for the shampoo, i think you can keep to your personal choice as long as it cleans well^^ The vitamino series consists of a very lightweight product with a subtle scent that won't dull or decrease hair volume :)
After using these products, my hair becomes silky smooth... and has a subtle shine to it that makes it look healthy^^ Remember, when using the hair mask, FOLLOW the instructions! do not simply rub on and rinse xD
The TOOLS
My favorite curlers..
1" VIDAL SASSOON
1.5" BABYBLISS
I've gone through a few curlers in the past and have tried some of my friend's as well but when it comes down to it, these two are my favorite. The both heat up super fast and really give your hair a nice and healthy finishing shine after use! They don't frizz my hair at all ^^ The Babybliss has several temperatue settings and is very easy to handle for its size. I use the 1.5" to create natural looking loose wavy curls and the 1" for more defined volumed curls. Sometimes i like to use them both in combination, the 1.5" for the top layer of hair and the 1" for the bottom layer of hair.

Straightener
1"KQC
My absolute must-have! If i were to travel abroad, i'd have to past this in my suitcase! The KQC is my favorite straightener. Heats up fast with multiple temperature settings. It does the job so well, leaving the hair with a nice and healthy shine. It straightens my hair very well, no damage! It is also what i use to curl my bangs a little ;) LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

You’ve Fallen for Me / Heartstrings
MUST WATCH! I highly recommend this one! If you liked 'You're Beautiful' and wanted to see more of this couple, here's your chance 8D Oh, Heartstrings...I hadn't been keeping up with Kdramas lately but this one i just couldn't miss! I started to watch it yesterday and caught up this morning! ...i'm such a couch potato sometimes haha xD This drama is so cute and lovable you just can't resist clicking on the next episode to see what happens~ Quickly became of my of favorites and can be a 're-watchable' one as well. The light humor, quirky romance and steadily developing plot really show how the characters grow. LOVE it!
Summary
Lee Shin is a university student majoring in modern music. He is also the vocalist and guitarist of the band “The Stupid.” Shin is known for his good looks and strong passion for music, but in reality he is cold, lacks interest in anything unrelated to music and has neither dreams nor plans for the future. He initially likes Jung Yoon Soo, a dance professor at university, but this all changes when he meets Lee Kyu Won. Lee Kyu Won is a bright and outgoing student who was born into a prestigious family and is majoring in traditional Korean instruments, especially the gayageum. Kyu Won’s grandfather, Lee Dong Gun, is one of the top 3 traditional musicians of his age and his biggest wish is to see his granddaughter become a traditional music prodigy. Trying to live up to her grandfather’s expectations, Kyu Won immerses herself in training and becomes a university student who knows nothing outside of her studies. As her friends are fans of “The Stupid”, she was forced to go to the band’s concert with them. There she saw Lee Shin performing live, and is immediately captivated by him. -taken from mysoju{CAST}
