pretty hairrrrr!

Hello girls!

Just sharing something that really works.. heh!

Not an advertorial since I'm not paid to do so, I've shared some hair tips on [info]sgstylebefore (here) just so you know. (:

What's the use of having great style, nice clothes, but dry and ugly hair? HAHA seriously.


Just some before and after pictures, these were taken in Feb. (And I haven't done anything to my hair since cus I'm a big time procrastinator. :S)
These are the only pictures I have of my hair. haha!



Don't know if you could tell.. But my hair is damn lifeless and rather stiff.
However my hair ends are still as good as the hair from the root! :D

Then just 4 days ago, I went grocery shopping and I saw the Asience booth right next to the cashier.
I didn't really read the recommendations and shit, so I just grabbed it and paid for it cus I ran out of hair serum(used before drying my hair if you refer to the hair tips page).
Asience is really damn good, imho, asians should always use things that are meant for asians since it's made to suit us.


*insert miracle rays from behind*
pict credits sasa.com

On the day that I first used it, I didn't expect to see any changes since I never really liked hair sprays.
Just bought it for the sake of having something to protect my hair. HAHA!
AND SURPRISINGLY, I was really surprised that my hair was DAMN soft and manageable (the most important wow factor)


A really bad face picture, but a really nice picture of my hair. hahahaha

Might not be able to tell from the pictures though, but you can take it from me, my hair is damn soft and manageable after using it. 
So, thank the Lord! HAHAHAHA..

It's too good not to be shared.. So, yes. Hope this is allowed. (:

you know babe, i was like 'wow' when i saw the last pic. but my hair's really short now. its bob, do you think i still can use this?

[info]rottenraisins

April 7 2007, 14:49:20 UTC 5 years ago

OF COURSE! haha actually, short hair or not everyone should protect their hair.
And if you wna keep your hair long, all the more you should protect it if not the hair texture would differ from the roots and the ends. heh
and then eventually your ends would always be tangled up (which leads to hair loss) due to dryness.

so, yeah. okay am I scaring you? hahaha hope not.

i use asience shampoo but i don't like the smell (smell like saloon). no difference to make my hair softer hair. haha

[info]rottenraisins

April 8 2007, 06:00:12 UTC 5 years ago

hmmm, each to it's own I guess. (: have you been using conditioner?
you can try vo5's hot oil to make your hair softer too.

[info]spright_liness

April 8 2007, 00:42:38 UTC 5 years ago

i randomly bought Asience shampoo and conditioner off the shelf too, and its good. just that, the shampoo/conditioner weighs my curls down, so i have like wavy soft hair after each wash though. i alternate shampoos (because i don't want my curls gone! haha) but its good lah!

[info]rottenraisins

April 8 2007, 06:04:55 UTC 5 years ago

Oooh really! Hmm.. You might wna 'kope' and try a little from your friends if they ever get it haha cus if I'm not wrong curls are usually drying at the ends? it'd be a waste of money if you get it and it makes your hair wavy like how the shampoo and conditioner do to your hair.

this may sounds irrelevant here.. but since you know quite a lot abt beauty stuffs, i hope you can help me!

know of any brands of facial product that is very effective on acne/pimple prone skin? argh.. i am having this problem for a very long time and it is still botehring me!

anyone of you out there!

[info]rottenraisins

April 8 2007, 05:49:58 UTC 5 years ago

Mm, it'd depend on your skin type.
Try to use products that doesn't contain alcohol.
And actually what product doesn't really matter if it works a bit for you cept that you keep breaking out.
Have you been exfoliating? If you haven't, that might be the reason why you're breaking out.
If you put on makeup, you HAVE to exfoliate your face at least once every week. (Err, I recommend Body shop's exfoliator from the Vitamin C range, it's damn good (:) I also use the daily exfoliator from body shop's vit C section as my facial cleanser. It has received a lot of raves bout it.

Then go for facial once monthly.

Moisturising is really important, though most girls think it isn't so they normally skip this(I was one of them) haha! cus y'see.. If you stay/sleep in air conditioned places for too long, your skin would produce more sebum cus it's really drying (the environment).
And if you produce more sebum, more dust and whatnot would be trapped. Therefore, you breakout.
You can try putting on CLAY MASKS (I use clinique's one, which is damn good too) but don't put it too often if not you'd be stressing your skin. Clay masks are good antioxidants I think, and it'd help to tighten your pores as well as 'suck' impurities out. (: so youd breakout less.

You gotta know what you put on your face damn well also. Cus personally, my skin care regime is 8 bottles everyday, everynight. And if I didn't know the balance (like, too drying or too oily for my skin), my skin wouldn't be able to take it and I'd breakout more than usual.

If your pores are crazy huge, you can use kiss me's Magical Pore care. (you can find it at heeren I think?) the result is really amazing, so I have shared it on my blog as well. haha!

Not sure if this is of any help cus I feel like I'm deviating. :/ K uhm, hope this helps!! haha!

Helllo! I duno your name but you're seriously the beauty guru!!! you're so knowledgeable you should take over fannwong/jacelyn tay's beauty shows la! seriously cos their shows kinda suck, not much substance and the stuff they intro are so ex.. nothing compared to any of the taiwan shows.

just wondering u must be a big fan of Da S right? hahahaha cos ur precious hair-handling tips sound just like her. OOh i got the magic water from Ascience today, it's sold out at watson's!! so i went to ntuc and there weere only 2 miserable bottles left so i grabbed! jsut cut my hair today so i hope it works we'll see tmr.

oh my your hair looks so nice and soft in the last pic!

oh yes this is slightly irrelevant but im hoping that you and your knowledge on beauty products will be able to help me out (:

the thing is, i have relaxed, long hair that puffs slightly at the back everytime i let it down! do you have any hair products to recommend to flatten it slightly?

oh and it sticks out sometimes at the end! ):

haha hope you'd be able to help (: thanks loads in advance!

[info]rottenraisins

April 8 2007, 18:49:05 UTC 5 years ago

Okay, for the puffing thing you could apply a TINY bit of olive oil to straighten the puff. Just a little will do to the ends (don't apply too much nor apply it at the roots else you'd look like you haven't washed your hair for days ahaha)
I don't recommend steam plates or whatever-you-call-it thing to flatten your hair, so.. Don't buy it if you're tempted.
As for the sticking out thing, you should comb your hair everyday and you can use the spray cus that's a sign of unmanageable hair.
After washing, just spritz the spray on your hair then blow dry it with a comb like what the people do at Saloons to make your hair straighter at the ends. (:
Hope that helps!

Haha I've used the Asience shampoo, conditioner, and treatment mask. It's really good for making hair soft... not to mention it smells sooo heavenly too. But I don't use the shampoo anymore. It makes my scalp feel a bit oily. But the conditioner and treatment mask is great.

[info]rottenraisins

April 8 2007, 18:49:57 UTC 5 years ago

Then you might wna use another shampoo for your scalp? It's okay to use 2 different shampoos in one wash. (:

ahem. anyway.

the second pic doesn't look as good as the first pic, but but buttt..your 3rd pic owns the first!

you're pertty too! aaaah. jealous jealous.

the thing can put on scalp? or is it like conditioner, cannot put on scalp, if not hairloss? cuz now i'm having hair loss. XD

[info]rottenraisins

April 8 2007, 18:53:46 UTC 5 years ago

heh heh ty ty ty
It's quite light, so even if you have a little on your scalp nothing would happen.
BUT, Why would you wna spritz it on your scalp?! ?_? LOL!
Mmm... For hair loss, DON'T scratch your head.
DON'T tie your hair whenever possible, if you have to, don't tie too tight and DON'T use red rubber band (the one you see at hawker centres).
Cut your split ends if you have them, and always comb your hair (follow the hair tips page on how to comb). Cus it'd prevent hair loss too.
Eat more sesame and seaweed.
And when you shampoo your hair, rub your scalp gently with your finger tips NOT nails.
okay! hope this helps! (:
I used to have hair loss problems too. heh

im a sucker for their hair products..!
it happened that the old Dove(had been using dove for years) was taken off the shelves when this came out so i gave this a try(i dont change shampoos once i like a certain brand)..
and i dig Asience totally..
even my bro(who has damaged hair due to hair dyes) who used my shampoo secretly told me that he love this!

saw the new products last weekend shall get it soon!!

anyway, i dont think it weighs my curls down.. in fact, it keep my hair from being dry.. =)

ahh. you have such pretty hair (:

and is it possible to use a straightening iron after using the spray? or will my hair like go crazy after that? oh oh and can you recommend me some facial products for oily/combination skin? my face will turn into an oil rig soon. thanks so much (:

[info]rottenraisins

April 8 2007, 19:02:22 UTC 5 years ago

heh thank you! (:

If your hair is dry, don't even think bout the iron.
If you have split ends, don't even think bout it too.
(haha sorry I don't like to do anything to my hair so I have sth against the iron. :/)
but anw, don't use it everyday if that's what you mean. If not it's okay to use it after using the spray I guess since it's supposed to protect your hair from excessive heating. (:
ah, that's tricky!
If your face is super oily, you might wna use the clay mask. It helps to suck impurities, oil control, and tighten pores.
Er, I don't actually know much bout what products though.. I only know what's important for the everyday regime. haha!
You should have the body shop vitc weekly exfoliator(if you can, get the daily one too?) cus oily skin usually have clogged pores.
oh, and try not to use blotter papers. tends to overwork your oil glands.
And it's the usual, drink more water, stay away from heaty food, and have beauty sleep (11pm-3am, which I didn't follow today AHAHAH irony)
