So come closer, baby. I want to see what you`re made of

Listening to: All I See - Sia


Everyday I have a different opinion on what I should do with my hair - long, straight, curly, orange, black, brown, what have you! I always say "I should really save up money so I can ____ my hair" but when I get enough money, I can never decide on what to do with it that I end up spending the cash on clothes. Such is the problem of an indecisive girl such as myself.

Yesterday, I went out with my friend, Joane, to Eastwood.

As you guys can see, her hair is of a really gorgeous orange-y color. I couldn`t help but feel jealous because I`ve wanted to have the same color done to my hair since a year ago, but of course, with strict High School rules and all, I couldn`t. 5 months into being a High School graduate and I still have this lame boring black shade. I did dye it once over the summer using

l

L'Oréal Excellence Creme in a dark brown shade, but I guess one box was not enough for my long hair and it didn`t color evenly. It doesn`t look bad though, since you can barely tell there`s any color in it in the first place, so it isn`t patchy. It only looks brown in the sunlight.

Today was just those "I`m going to color my hair" days. So I did what I did whenever I had my "I`m going to buy ____" episodes - I went online window shopping!

I came across Palty first.

Palty is a Japanese brand of hair dye made specially for Asian hair. I read so many reviews and looked at so many before & after photos. Apparently, it does not damage hair at all- it even makes hair smoother. It also has a more pleasant smell of bleach compared to other products. I was already dead-set on buying it when I came across another brand of hair dye!


Prettia is from a huge cosmetics company in Japan called KAO. Prettia was launched in 2007. It is very different from other DIY hair dyes because of its application process. It`s basically just like shampooing your hair. It`s great because it doesn`t damage it at all (or so the reviews have said) and it`s really easy, great for beginners like me! The biggest plus is that I only have to use one box, even though my hair is really long. It uses foam to color the strands so you don`t need so much of it.

I am so so so happy about my new discovery. I love that someone thought of making this product!

Now my only problem is what color to go with.
