Pretty Hair

Hey Fabulous,

Do you hate the fact that everyone sticks to just one hairstyle all the time? Well, me too. It's pretty boring but maybe it's because of Singapore's humid weather. Many have problems with curling their hair with curling irons/straighteners, saying that the curls won't hold for more than an hour. Omg, I feel you. My hair is so stubbornly straight and flat! Despite this unfortunate situation, I still try ways to change my hairstyle here and there. So recently, Korean hairstyles are really trendy and it suits us Asians :). Their effortlessly wavy Korean waves are so adorable and gentle. But trust me, it is not effortless at all! It takes hard work for such pretty hair.

Ahhh, so pretty too pretty @.@

Korean buns and geek spectacles has also been super trendy over the past year. I bought new geek specs just to attain this look ^^. But somehow, Singaporeans still look different from Koreans in terms of style and facial features too.. maybe its because of the weather in Singapore too, all our pores are forced to be opened :'(. Oh well.

Korean bun and geek specs are so adorable.

Even in Japan, their hair and dressing is so pretty. Their culture is also slightly different from us, where before they leave the house, they will actually spend a lot of time and effort into ensuring that their hair and make up is perfect. They also dress up in many gorgeous layers too (our weather T.T). Even though, we are lacking a little bit on the effort in styling part, we have our good points too. Such as being all summer-ish, laid back and casual. But then again, it's always good to dress up and look good. So I've tried curling my hair in different ways to see which one looks better and holds up stronger.

So after trying different methods of curling (tying a bun, curling iron, straightener), I've concluded that if you want a very tight and bouncy kind of curl, definitely use a curling iron. If you want a subtle or less defined type of curl, or you want different frequencies of curls in which you can control, then use a straightener. If you want just a messy bed hair look, tie a bun at least an hour before and use hair spray after. But for me, the best way to secure the curls is to tie a bun overnight, release it in the morning then proceed to use a straightener to curl the parts that needs touch up. Remember to use hair spray and heat protecting products for your hair! 

Yay that concludes today's post. There is so much happiness in researching on beauty related things. 

Cheers and stay fabulous,
