Lovin' My Purple Hair!

Here's a pic collage of my hair journey with my lovely hair stylist, Chisato. 

So far, I've been changing my hair color bi-monthly. It always feels great stepping out of Shunji Matsuo 313 with perfect-looking hair, thanks to Chisato-san (: 

This time, I requested for a fully dark purple hair color for a change. My previous red/orange ends were super faded by then. And, I reckoned that a dark hair color will be good. 

Fyi, it took about 3 hours to bleach and color my hair. It usually takes at least 6 hours for loud hair colors like the blue I did previously.

As usual, I walked out of the hair salon looking fresh with the presumably new hairstyle and dark hair color. 

Thanks to the dark hair color plus bangs, I somehow look much younger than my actual age. Some commented that I look cute. Elaine said that I look like schoolgirl (O-M-G)! I take that as compliments - thank you! :P

So happy! ❤ 

Here's a closer look at my hair, under bright lighting. As you can see, the purple hues are more obvious especially the ends (bleached many-many times previously). 

By the way, most did not notice that I had part of my hair shaved. Hmm... my left profile seriously looks like boy :x

This was my "new" hair color after a month or so. It was pretty interesting to see my hair color fading day by day, to much noticeable bright ashy shades of purple, red-violet and violet. 

Lovin' my purple hair! ❤

My Hair's on "Fire"!

I mentioned in my previous hair post that I was going to let my hair "rest" for a couple of months before bleaching again. Ahems... I eat my words. My hair was bleached again, just once this time round.

I had no idea what color(s) I wanted this time, hence I let my trusted hair stylist, Chisato, to decide for me.

My hair color had faded a lot after almost 2 months. And, the unsightly black roots were showing.

This time, my base hair color was dyed dark brown without ash tones. As for the dip-dye part, Chisato chose alternating colors of red and orange that resembles fire. Hence, the blogpost title :P

Here's the finished look! For a change, I had my fringe cut with a side-swept style.

Thank you, Chisato, for making my hair look fab as always! Arigato gozaimashita!

My hair's on "Fire"! :x

Pardon the "act-cute" pout xD

You know who to look for at Shunji Matsuo 313 :D

My Fave Hair Color Combi ♥

Here's one last look at my previous dip dye hair color, which had faded beautifully from a dark indigo to a light chalky blue.

As for the base hair color, it was from a dark ash brown to a much lighter shade that I love so much.

After 2 months, I finally stepped into Shunji Matsuo 313 for a new hair color. While the base hair color remained the same, I wanted my dip dye part to be a lil' more colorful this time.

While bleaching my hair, my hair stylist, Chisato, advised me to let my hair "rest" for a couple of months before bleaching again. As my hair texture is considered fine, over-bleaching will actually damage my hair. Also, I am supposed to do hair mask daily. Hmm.. the lazy me did it once or twice a week :x

Anyway, I love how the colors turn out. It was exactly what I want! My choice of pink and purple, both my fave colors ♥

My light ash brown base hair color was lighter than the previous.

The pink and purple are much vibrant in real life!

My base hair color became more of a light golden brown 2 weeks later. The pink became more neon, while the purple was more ashy.

From far, my hair also looks good! Thick-skinned much :x

My hair color super niceeee right? Even more so after fading! Hesitate no more! Go find Chisato! She will take good care of your hair and give it a fabulous makeover :D

Here's the most recent photo of my lovely faded hair color (6 weeks later). Gonna head down to get a new hair color + hair trim soon. Dark hair color for a change? Most likely... (:

Dip Dye Short Hair

It was 6 weeks of crazy attention-seeking blue hair. Though the royal blue (hair color) had faded to a much lighter hue, people still have nothing but compliments for my unique hair color. 


As much as I love the blues, it was time to say goodbye...

BYE-BYEEE~


And so, here's how my faded blue hair looks... with the black roots showing. It seemed that my hair is not growing out fast yea? Hmm...

Anyway, I showed Chisato the hair color I wanted (not the hairstyle).

I am now trying my best to grow out my fringe and hair. That's why I have not had my hair cut for close to 4 months already.


To achieve my desired ash brown color, I had to go through one-time bleaching to get rid of the blue dye.


After the bleaching, the blue part became light pastel green and the purple streaks became neon pink! What a funky combination! I was really fascinated when I saw this interim hair color mix. Nice right? heehee~ :P

Chisato and Alice analyzing my hair...

They did the dip dye part (indigo) first...


... then the base (ash brown). Ooo... looks like squid ink pasta? :X


After 3 hours, here's my dip dye hair color (dark ash brown + indigo)! I was really happy with the results... see my satisfied face :P

Well, my base hair color was quite dark, but not black. Any lighter, the color would turn out weird due to my previous blue hair. I was told that after few times of shampooing, my hair color will gradually fade to a lighter shade of ash brown. It has been almost 2 weeks since I did my hair color. Now, my hair looks something like Alice's! Nice right?! 

I will like to take this opportunity to thank these two lovely ladies (Chisato & Alice) for creating the dip dye effect I want! Thank you so much ♥


Here's a closer look at my dip dye hair color. 


If you wanna have fun colors in a subtler way, you can do something like mine (:


Lovin' this hair color sooo much! You know where to head to if you want an awesome hair makeover *wink-wink*


I shall end off this post with this photo with the ABTM (Ah Boys to Men) cast - Tosh Zhang (!!), Maxi Lim and Noah Yap. It was the day after I did my hair color. Super like this photo ♥

Shall blog about this Toast Box charity campaign (event) that I attended with dear Herine soon (: 

Till then... thank you for reading!
