Hair care


Hair is really important to her. Hair style can really determine one's look. Despite being beautifully dressed, having the hair of a broom can really affect her self confidence. Or even if she dressed in a really simple T shirt, having shinny smooth hair has become a accessory to her plain boring shirt. 


Thus in chinese saying, hair is the root of troubles. 


Dye, highlight, bleach, perm, rebond, swimming, cycling, outerdoor sports... Using shampoo that not suitable to your hair, stress, unhealthy eating habits...

Do you involve in any of the above? All these inflict great harms to your hair.

When you discover that your hair looses its shine, become fizzy and dry, break easily, and hair fall. These tell you that your precious hair is protesting from what you have done to it.
If you experience any of the above, don't panic before you check out the tips I want to tell you in the following.




 Dead, dull and fizzy hair

  • Before you go to sleep, apply a small amount of olive oil onto your hair, remember to apply only to the tips of the hair. Wash your hair the next day you wake up. This will make your hair look healthier. 
  •  Dilute unfinished beer and use it to wash your hair, rinse well with warm water. This will enable your fizzy hair to smoothen for easier combing. (use only if you are not allergy to alcohol)
  • Spam conditioner. If your hair is really bad, can try buying those cheaper conditioner such as Sunsilk, dove which cost around S$6 for a big tube and spam them when u are washing your hair. Of cos, there are many different 'flavours' you can choose from according to your hair condition. Some examples are hair fall control, smooth and manageable and damaged hair. Maybe they are not as good as those branded and expensive brand, but you can spam them without feeling a pinch. Ok unless you are rich, feel free to spam those expensive brand. 



  • Apply hair mask. Be a hard working her and remember to put hair mask at least twice weekly. Personally I used sunsilk hair mask which is cheaper and I think that it is not a bad choice. After you wash your hair, apply the hair mask cream evenly onto your hair, just like normal conditioner. 

  • Lastly, after a series of conditioning, apply leave on conditioner. Personally i dont think that it is a necessary to use a series of hair product from the same brand, as i tried doing so and not doing so, and the latter showed better result. For leave on conditioner, i have used Mayflower, Sunsilk and pantene. All are not bad, but all showed not so good results after being used for a long time. So i came to a conclusion that conditioner must be used interchangeably. Same goes to shampoo. 


Before your hair 'died', protect your hair from harmful things, prevention is always better than cure.

Use umbrella if the sun is too scorching. Sun ray will remove moisture from your hair and causing breakage easily. Especially bad if you are near the sea, the sea breeze containing salt molecules will kill your hair real fast. I remembered there was a time when i went to the beach for consecutively 2 days, my hair became like the hay horses eat.

Wash your hair well and thoroughly after swimming, the chlorine in the swimming pool will bleach your hair in the long run. Remember to apply conditioner too.

These are some methods to improve hair condition. You may want to try to see if these work for you!
