I went Brazillian!

So I finally did it!

I had "Brazillian All Off" wax done 2 days ago at The Strip, at the Curve.. I was contemplating on whether to share the experience with the masses or not. Tough call! But for the sake of educational rather than anything else, here's my story...

Did it hurt? BIG TIME!!

Will I do it again? DEFINITELY!!

Why, you asked? IT SO WORTH IT!! (Let me tell you why..)

I had enough gut to actually went ahead with the "All Off" option.. The wax therapist even said that it was brave of me to do that on my first waxing session. I'm not sure if I like the other options though..

I was brought into a room where I was asked to strip down and lie down on the table. I was given an anti-septic wipe to clean myself with before the waxing began.

She saw my hair, and she knew right away that I've been shaving and told me that it's not really a good idea! Well, if waxing is not painful, do you think I'd shave at all?

Anyway, she engaged me in casual talks while at the same time applied the hot hard wax and started stripping it off.. The first one was super painful.. But as I was caught off guard, it wasn't as bad as the following ones. I was swearing and was sweating like pigs.. She did the front, she did the back and she did my lower legs... And I was done! All took just 30 minutes of my time.

I'd say that the Brazillian was worth it! Because I left the salon feeling sexier and more confident. I am looking forward to my second waxing which will probably be three weeks from now...

And yes, the waxer girl saw my "everything" and touched "everywhere" but she's a professional and it's her job so she's used to it.. When the waxing part starts, the embarrassing part disappear.. Believe me..

The price of my painful first time : Around RM150 - Not really sure how much, I had add on for soothing serum or something like that

I bought Thalassothys for Softening Post Depilatory care, a cream that claims to refine the hair and slow hair growth... at RM220.

Hair pampering session

I was invited by Harper Bazaar a couple of weeks ago for Hair Pampering Session at Peek-A-Boo Salon in TTDI. I wanted to blog about it but put off the idea until I'm free. So here I am...

The session start with one of Kerastase representative gave us a presentations on the causes of hair loss, dandruff and other hair problems. Most answer we can get online but at least, in this session, we could ask questions. And after the presentation, we were brought to a room with a machine for hair and scalp inspection. When I got mine inspected, the machine/computer 'hang' twice! Goes to show that even machines couldn't take my 'destroyed' hair... Hehehe..

Anyway, the guy who looked at my scalp and hair suggested that I have very oily scalp, a fact that I've known forever. And apparently, due to this, my hair growth isn't considered normal. Normal hair follicles apparently holds five or more strands of hair and mine, well just about three.. And most of them are weak. Panic?!! You think?

And then he went on inspecting my hair tips. For this, he suggested that I have very dry tips... And chemically damaged, due to constant dyeing and lack of hair treatment. I thought I had to cut my hair really short, thinking that's the only way I could save them... However, he said I could still save them... with frequent treatment... Hmmm... Was it just a 'gimmick' so that I'd buy their products?

And so me & the other ladies had our hair pampered, by having hair spa treatment and gentle massage on the scalp & shoulder. It was so nice that I didn't want it to stop.. Believe me, it was truly pampering!

Oh and, I was told that in order for me to NOT get thinning line on my hair part, I must change my hair parting side often and instead of doing a straight line, I should do a zig zag line... This gives the illusion that I have a lot of hair at the crown... Good tips, I'd say!

I left the salon feeling pampered and with a bag of Kerastase products and vouchers for free! Yeay!

Hair Mist

You know sometimes that shampoo's smell is so overpowering that your perfume sort of got lost in it? Especially when you air dry your hair. And especially when nowadays most of the shampoos sold over the counter are supposedly made with essential oils or flower essences.

That's why I like to use very mildly scented shampoo... I would prefer if they are unscented at all! In fact, I have to get something like that since my scalp is sensitive, just like the rest of my skin.

So when I found Chanel's Allure Tender Hair Mist, I was overjoyed. I've been looking for something like this for ever. I didn't know that Chanel came out with something like this before. I stumbled upon this when I was getting the replacement for my Chanel Coco Mademoiselles at the airport. But since this one is Allure, I canceled my plan on getting CM and got the Allure instead.

So now after shower and blow drying my hair, I'd spray some onto my hair and the smell is just heavenly. At RM118 for 35ml, it's an answered prayer!

I'm in love with it!
