the 3000 strands of woes

if the title doesnt ring a bell to you, it's the chinese saying "san qian fan nao si". simply it refers to your hair. and of cos in our modern day context, this term has taken on a very literal meaning. Indeed, you can see both genders nowadays fretting over their hair. what hairstyle to cut? what color to dye? perm or straighten? how to style and what products to use?

And after spending that hefty sum on my hair on friday, i am quite determined to maintain my hair in the gorgeous way that it's SUPPOSED to be. The voluminous crown, straight n silky top to mid section, and my soft waves at the ending section. ARGH.

So in bid of trying to get some hair maintenance tips, I decided to youtube for some hair tutorial. to my amazement, there are FAR more guy hair tut than ladies hair tut!!! Out of curiosity, i decided to watch one and it snowballed into several. It was so fascinating and addictive to watch guys spend a good 10 mins and more styling their hair. and oh my gosh, guys u should never call girls vain. You guys are just the same. Step 1) wash ur hair 2) towel dry 3) blow dry with different directions for different result 4) flat iron 5) comes the wax! pinching, scrunching etc etc 6) the hair spray 7) adjust again... and FINALLY viola. Now i know... never mess around with a guy's hair (of cos only those with nicely styled hairs. those who didnt bother, we shall not bother as well :D )

Anyway, I was so fascinated and inspired after watching all that, that I hence decided to invest in some gatsby as well. And so important question, what's the formula to having good hair days? As shown below. ARGHHHH.... want nice hair? no choice :)


Step 1) L'oreal leave on conditioner to fix the desert dry hair (aftermath of perming)
Step 2) when semi-dry, sprit on the liese juicy shower on the ends
Step 3) Roll up the ends using the hair rollers and leave on. Remove just before sleeping or u can choose to sleep with your rollers on (uncomfortable though)
Step 4) Next morning, spray liese hair mousse onto palm and spread onto hair ends with scrunching motion to revitalise the curls
Step 5) Use gatsby air rise wax on the crown to create volume
Step 6) FINALLY spray on gatsby hair spray to set the entire hair.

At this rate, will i still be on time for lectures and appointments?? how long can i last with the regime.... hmmm.....
