Hair culture

Hair is the crown of a woman’s head.


A good hair cut will enhance the feature of our face and the outlook of our appearance. But without one, you will either look like the actress from The Ring or a bird nest just landed on top of your head!


Different hairstyles will suite different type of face shape. I’ve tried few different hairstyles like the re-bonding (few years ago when it’s the most trendy thing to do), cut it short like Faye Wong, perm @ the age of 11, bob style and layered.


The other day I went for a hair cut and the stylist told me that we need to trim our hair often because if the hair is too long, nutrition from the root will not be able to reach to the end of the hair. That’s why the end is always dry and brittle if hair is too long. Plus hair loss. The stylist commented my long hair is too flat … no style :( So he suggested a good trim and also layered it from the top so that the hair will have some body. He actually cut quite a lot and the length now is just below the shoulder. End result ok la nothing great. But one thing good is I use less shampoo now (as I wash my hair everyday) and experience lesser hair loss.


I know some people who never change their hairstyles for the last 20 years. They are unable to accept a new look. All they ever do is to trim 1/2 inch of their hair and this is the new hairstyle for them. Others just screwed up their hair by some stylist whose skill is from the past 20 years ago when they first open their Kedai Gunting Rambut Unisex.

I would like to share some of my personal opinions here:


Never ever do re-bonding if you are of those who have short hair or very less hair. Re-bonding will make the face enlarge by 3x. From far people will notice your face which is so huge until can host a few banquet tables! If you really want to have straight silky hair, let your hair grow to shoulder length, then do normal straightening. Procedure just like re-bonding. Only difference is they use less chemicals and shorten the time.


You absolutely must @ least perm your hair once in your hair-time. Just to see how you will look. Don’t believe it when some people said that perming will add 10 years to your age. It all depends on the style and type of perm.


Find a good stylist for your short hair. Style to make it look chic and smart. Short hairstyles will look stunning with colours.


Colour can improve a person’s outlook. A darker colour (i.e. dark brown) will make the face look slimmer. Highlights hair in strips with 2 colours. And I don’t mean mixing red with purple and end up looking like a xmas tree ornaments. But the same colour family with different tone. It will make your hair look sexy.


Invest in a good shampoo and conditioner. Never buy the 2-1 type. No good for the hair. Wash the hair well especially in this humid weather of M’sia. Purchase a good hair mask / treatment and DIY @ least twice a month to give your hair the necessary vitamins boost. Hair loss, dry scalp, dandruff, etc needs to be taken care off.


A comb or a brush, which has a history of 5000 years is something you have to use for your hair everyday. And get a good one instead of the $2 cheapalak comb.


Have a good hair day girls.
