Dear Diary: Hair Disaster

I feel terrible. Super. I've mentioned a lot of times in my blog that I am very particular when it comes to my hair, and yesterday I had a haircut and I wish I didn't :(

My hair's very susceptible to split ends because I have thin strands and ofcourse because of other factors too. Me and my sister decided to have a haircut at my trusted salon here in Imus, Cavite but I found out that my hair dresser already left for Australia, therefore we have no choice but to pick different stylist since we traveled a long time just to get there, we didn't want to waste our efforts.

The stylist who cut my hair were the same person who cut me last December 2011, I like the way he cut my hair back then BUT it was super short for my taste (and my boyfriend's coz he prefer long locks)

 December 2011

I managed to grow it longer and had it cut by my stylist last October 2012, and again grew it longer to this..

When he was cutting my hair, I told him to trim 1 to 2inches only and I want to retain the same hairstyle.. When he started cutting out my hair I saw him cut straight more than 2 inches and I almost had a heart attack. I immediately blurted out, "uy ang laki naman agad ng binawas mo". You're supposed to cut it little by little right? But he answered me, "di mahaba pa naman yan". And he continued to cut more of it. Nakakainis lang eh.. pero okay I let him go ahead and do his job kasi okay naman yung una nyang gupit sakin.. But when we're finished, I almost cried because of heart break na ang hirap at ang tagal magpahaba ng buhok tapos sasayangin nya lang :( the thing is, it's layered style is AS IN layered na hindi pantay pantay.. But ofcourse I still gave him a tip, though I regretted giving him some coz it's not worth it. My little sister keeps on consoling me until this morning coz I really feel bad. My sister got a good haircut though and she's very happy about it :)

Here's the picture (when we got to Robinson's Imus on our way home, I didn't have my hair done here):

See that chunk of hair in the center? It's so ugh.. My sister told me to get a haircut again and have it fixed but I said nah, I'll just wait for it to grow first.. Oh also, Palmolive Naturals Vibrant Color Shampoo was supposed to retain the color right? But LOL look. But it's fine.

Bottom line: Truly having a haircut doesn't depends on the name of the salon, or how expensive/cheap the haircut was, but really depends on the skill of the hair dresser.. I guess I'm on a hunt for a new one.

Thanks for reading my rants today :)

Hair Care/Routine: Revlon Colorsilk in Auburn Brown trial

As I've promised, I'm going to share with you my latest Hair Routine! I've mentioned in my previous post that I colored my hair last October and re-colored it again late December 2012.

FYI: my hair is thick enough but the hair strands were very thin. My scalp is oily-but-not-too-oily (do I make any sense? haha). I also have dandruff, but my ends/tips were brittle and dry, probably because of too much chemicals before. My first major hair disaster was when I had it relaxed way back in December 2007, then I did most of my unofficial rebonding at home until I was professionally rebonded last June 2010, followed by December 2010. I was inadvertently relaxed last June 2012 because I was looking for Matrix Rebonding Set but the HBC girl said it was out of stock and handed me this Hortaleza S1 Set. I really thought it was a rebonding cream but ugh, it sucks big time and I suffered from hair fall for months! Like, seriously, whenever I ran a brush through my hair? Pity.

Anyways, I had my first hair coloring session last October, and I only did it at home with the help of my Lil Sis. I used Revlon Colorsilk in Auburn Brown coz I don't want to have a big leap from my hair's Natural Color.

I used TREsemme, GARD and The Body Shop's Rainforest Voluminizing Shampoo and Conditioner for maintenance back then.

I had my hair rebonded again last December 27, 2012 and re-colored it with Cosmocare Natural in Cyclamen. It's a cellophane type of coloring so I'm expecting for it to be "tamed" and easily washed of, but, it came out loud haha! My father wasn't too happy about me having these changes but he didn't said a word anyway.

 Already washed my hair with shampoo twice and the color's still good. With my Lil Sis and her bf Garret

With my Sis Chaye

Overall, I'm very happy with the results. I just have to trim my tips and bangs to give my hair a body again. Oh, I'm also using this Palmolive Naturals Vibrant Color and Schwarzkopf  Q10 Recharge Conditioner with the others mentioned above.

Also, I'm still using my beloved Matrix Sensoria for hair treatments. I'm actually thinking of getting a Keratin Blowout soon hmm.. What do you guys think?

I guess that's all for now, thanks for reading bellas! Happy New Year!!
