Playing with hair extensions

Rummaging in the drawer for goodies...



Orange hair to match my orange top! I LOVE THIS!!!
This is a clip in extension you can remove anytime anywhere.

Hair extensions in my opinion(those that last for months)....HORRIBLE

The last time I did try out hair extensions, I was eager to have long hair.
I went to city plaza to check out the price as from many reviews, many girls go over there to get CHEAP and beautiful extensions... Now, you don't need to go all the way there.
you can find in many places those china hair extensions shop in bugis, far east plaza etc...

**Curly ones are $2 per strand!! Damn! that was what I wanted. so it's kinda double the price from the straight ones at $0.50(bad quality hair) or $1(better quality) per strand.
Imagine the few miserable strands of hair make up one one single 'strand' glued together.. How many would I need?

There are 2 options for the extension. The clips kind or the braided kind. Braided ones are double the price! *horrified* but supposedly able to last up to 6 months... whereas for the clips, maximum 2 months and you've got to have it removed or else the hairs will tangle and it will be very hard to detangle.

I told her to try out $50 worth of fake curly hair..
Guess what? It only covered the bottom part of my nape area.. not even halfway through to the back of my head! so added another $30 worth of curly hairs to the outline at the sides.

Result? DISASTER

It was damn fake I tell you. The ends were ultra thin and too long. I thought, if I were to complete the whole head so the style would look more even, my head will be so heavy from all the clips and I don't think I'll be able to sleep at night. If I chose to get the braided ones, it'll cost me a bomb!! Totally out of budget.. I might as well grow out real hair!

They charge for removal of the hairs! Forget it!

I was extremely displeased. I went home and chopped half the length off myself! It was like cutting up money... SOBZ but I had to do that so it'll be more even and less fake.

The girl clipped the extension to my hair too tightly. My scalp hurts. Washing is a major problem. I feel unclean. Constant stress is on my scalp. I could only take it for 1 month.
It is not good to have such tension on the scalp. It causes traction hair loss.

My advice: I would buy a nice long curly wig or those DIY clip in extensions. It is a much better investment as you get to keep your 'hair' and use it when your mood fits.

Look how happy I am above!

My style icon: Janice Dickinson

I love Janice Dickinson! She is bitchy, vain, smart and successful! Full of plastic and not afraid to admit it. In short I love her style! Imagine, if she were to be my mum, does the word C-H-A-O-S come to mind?

In the video, only she can make falling out of the chair look graceful..

Car Boot Flea

What happens when females buy too much of something?


We get together to sell stuff on the 8 days celebrity Car Boot Flea! (and one poor male having to drive us there and help to clear junk willingly.)

He fears having to bring the junk back more, which acts as a source of motivation for him.

It was an extremely HOT and sunny day and our skin were burning in the process...

Posing for the camera with the magazine...

Our wares... It just looks kinda 'junky' all over the place. The clothes rack was brought along by Jo, an experienced car boot flea-er no less! This is apparently her 2nd time but my virgin first!

Looking good posing as the basket girl?? Dropped my handphone in the process of posing! Sheesh!

Free redbull! so happy! WE were dying of thirst and hunger... and behaving quite aunty-ish; carrying umbrellas and fanning furiously, sitting down with our legs propped up.

Best aunty-ish stunt of the day: Having one Carl's Junior meal and having multiple free soft drinks refill to be shared among us just by using their cup!

We were touting and selling our wares!

100% auntie!


Amidst the throng of people, we found this!


A mini dog!


In fact, the owners wore pink too! Just like it!
We were actually quite worried that it will accidentally get trampled by the shoppers... Tsk tsk.. Dangerous..

And then we found this!


Say hi!

This is absolutely adorable! I always feel happy when I see animals. I ALMOST feel like I can communicate with them.. When I stroke their fur and say hi to them, I kinda expected them to say hi to me back! Just like Dr Dolittle perhaps??? I must be going bonkers...


See how fat it is? Snowy white fur.... HAving a good life eh?


At the end of the day, we had pretty good earnings (had enough cash to treat ourselves to MOS burger and more left over) but very bad sun burn!



Big patch of burned skin... really itchy man.


To end it all, I committed a terrible sin. I bought new stuff while clearing old junk!! One of it is this pair of gold heels that's supposed to be from a reputable brand NUE



I got no idea and have never heard of this brand but what the heck, it's cheap ($25)! IT's new and it's pretty looking!

The original price from boutiques was supposed to be over a hundred! But it was being sold here at the car boot flea by china people. As you know china people always have ways to get such good stuffs at a fraction of a price... AMAZING! Comes with original paper bag even...


It even looks good when I wear it with my PJs!

hahaha!!!

Girls will always be girls.....

Truths to Hair Myths

Here's some truth to bust some myths...

Myth 1: Cutting hair makes it stronger/grows faster

Hair grows from the scalp.

What it actually means is that, our hair naturally has different lengths and the hair ends are of a smaller diameter.
So, when it is cut short, it appears to be thicker. If you are trying to grow out your hair, the uncut ends will have been months or even years old, exposed constantly to the weather and physical conditions. These hair ends are prone to breakage without proper care. So, when cut off, it seems that your hair is healthier. When there's less breakage, you may find your hair seems longer too!

A healthy diet plays a part in healthy hair. Include sufficient vitamin B and protein in your diet for better hair growth.

Myth 2. You can repair split ends

Split ends can never be repaired unless u cut them off.
Products used on already split hair only temporarily 'glue' the ends together until the hair is washed or combed.
So in order to prevent this, constant care must be given before the hair is split too much and you need to cut a chunk off!
After every chemical process, it's always advisable to do the accompanied treatment to replenish the moisture.

Myth 3. Frequent shampooing dries my hair.

In this hot and humid climate its best to wash your hair once a day! Complete with conditioning for ladies! Or males with longer hair...when your hair is clean, you get lesser scalp problems or the yikey stinky smell..the key is to choose the right shampoo and products for your hair to replenish moisture not 'oil'.

Myth 4. Frequent shampooing makes my hair fall out more

We are often put off by the amount of hair that comes out during shampooing. But in actual fact, shampooing only removes the loose hair already detached from the scalp.
Shampooing has a stimulative effect on the hair so those who don't wash your hair often, do so now!

Myth 5. Brushing your hair 100 strokes is good for it.

I know this is just an excuse to skive!
When your boss asks you what the hell you are doing, brushing your hair when you are supposed to be working?!

You reply,"Boss, brushing your hair a 100 times a day is good for your scalp! (Boss happens to be balding) Now I'm into 34 times, 35, 36.......39, 40....

Being the workaholics nowadays, what better time to do so in the office. Nah! Having to brush your hair 100 times before going to bed is exhausting!

Anyway, this is bad for your hair! Try brushing your pet 100 times a day and see if you'll wear a hole on it..

Myth 6. Pull out one grey hair and two will grow..

I ll start pulling all my hairs out now! It's not true and it damages the hair follicles.

Myth 7. Dandruff is the cause of a dry scalp.

It is an OILY scalp that causes dandruff. So please do not try to oil your scalp thinking it's dry. You might worsen the condition.
Use an anti dandruff shampoo for 2 weeks or so.

How to use it correctly: shampoo your hair first in the bath after doing the proper lathering and massage, leave the foam on for a while before rinsing off. i.e: proceed to soap your body after and rinse everything off to save time.
when the dandruff is cleared, usually after 2 weeks or so or when you don't see flakes, revert back to your normal shampoo.

Myth 8. Colouring hair makes it fall out

There is no scientific evidence to support this. Contrarily, colouring hair to make you look good boosts your morale greatly!
