Today marks one week since I changed to my new hairstyle; and I must say that I'm still glowing/enjoying/beaming from all the compliments that I've gotten so far. I have received tonnes (hehe....that's just an exaggeration) of compliments and I can't stop smiling. Once again, I owe it to Trish. :-)
So two days after getting my new hairstyle...I washed my hair. And what do you know...my curls went missing!! Lol....instead of curls I now have waves. I got a fright when I saw the amount of hair that dropped while washing my hair. Must be all the dye-ing, straightening and curling cream. So I decided against using the foam thing that Trish kindly loaned me. Of course...she's been asking me ever since if I have tried the foam thing yet. I haven't Trish!
Some people prefer the "new" hair without the curls. Personally..both suits me fine. But I'm leaning towards the wavy hairstyle as it's so much easier to maintain. Just wash, dry and run fingers through hair. Hehe! How lazy!
Vay says I've become vainer. I have to agree. This is the first time I've had a side fringe and it's kind of irritating having the hair cover your eyes. I keep pushing it away from my hair. I don't want to push it up for fear of spoiling my straightening. I know....terrible isn't it!! Plus...I keep checking to see if my parting is straight and that my hair is ok! Gosh...what have I turned into!! Vay can't stand the "new" vain me.
I like my new hair and the new length. Mum says it makes my hair looks healthy, full and it's nice. So I've decided to maintain this hairstyle for awhile.
Now that I've changed my hair, Trish wants me to have another make-over i.e. make-up and nails. I'm still resisting coz I'm so not the make-up and nail type of girl. I don't even know how to put on eyeliner let alone a full set of make-up!!
I suppose I could start wearing skirts...hell...no way!! HAHA... Extremely skinny, hairy legs are a definite NO-NO!! Hmmm...let's see what there is to change next......

Finally...
Finally...after much thought and going back and forth on my decision, I've done it. I've cut my hair! As I said in my previous entry, I have this phase every year, where I want to cut my hair. So yesterday, after having lunch with Trish, I got dragged to a friend's hair salon. I say 'dragged' coz up until we paid our lunch bill, I was still having second thoughts!
Anyway, so we went to the salon and after looking through a few books, we finally decided on a hairdo which we thought would suit me best. Shoulder length, with a side fringe. And since my hair is wavy, there would be curls at the ends. I straightened my fridge though so that it would slide down the side of my face and not curl up and give me a "curtain". This was the first time I was applying any chemicals to my hair (besides dye-ing my hair, that is). We reached the salon at about 2.45 and I was there until at least 6.30pm!!
Trish was soooooo excited and even took pictures of me in my various stages of my transformation! I don't think I'll put the pics up though coz I don't think they're very flaterring.
So, three hours and 45 minutes later...my hair was done. I had a new look. My reaction: I LOVE IT! I've always either had short, boy cut hair or long hair. I've never had shoulder length hair like this before. I actually feel girlier. Lol! And....Trish paid for me!! She said it was my birthday present! How sweet! We have this tanding arrangement that we would not get eacho ther gifts since our birthdays are just one day apart but then...she broke the agreement this time. Not that I'm complaining. THANKS TRISH!!!!!
When I went to the shop with my new do, everyone said it was a nice change!! :-) They said it made me look younger, much to my sister's horror! Now she's got even more reason to be angry at me! Well....dear sis....you can cut your hair too and then you'll look younger!!! :P
The result:

Change
So every year around the same time (well...more or less) I get this intense desire to go through a change. Change in hairstyle that is. I had short hair all through my high school life and then I decided to keep my hair long through college. At the end of my final year, my hair had grown to almost my waist! The last time I had hair so long was probably back in Std. 5!!
Anyway.....every year I visit the same hairstylist, almost always just trimming my hair to shape it. I don't want to go back to having short hair though some people say I look nice in short hair. To me, short hair will only emphasise my long, small, thin face and long neck! I'd end up looking like a match stick.
So I'm back in this phase again! This time it's before my birthday. After having gone through the dilemma of "should-I or shouldn't-I?" I've finally decided that I want a change!! Hahaha...mum and sis says that my hair is nice enough; dad always says no to going to the hairstylist, so no point asking him; Trish thinks that I should get a change coz she's seen me with the same hairstyle for the past 5 years it seems. But I disagree!
I think I want a slightly shorter (probably shoulder length) do this time; and since I have wavy hair, my waves/curls would cover my long neck. I also have to change my parting. I've been advised numerous times to maintain a side parting but the moment I leave the hair salon, I'm back to center parting. This time, I vow to maintain the side parting. I want to have that sexy, side falling hair! Lol!
Anyhow...now that my mind's made up...I can't seem to find a proper hair salon. Mum advised me not to return to the same hairstylist for he just repeats the same hair style for me every time. The one I want to go to is only free in early June!! Plus...I have to look at my budget. I don't intend going for haircuts costing above RM50.
Sighs....let's see how my search goes. Ironically, every time I go through this change phase, there is always a delay. Either I can't find the time or the hair salon is not available etc.

Of being lazy
Hey Hey....so I know I've not updated my blog with interesting entries lately. Not that there's been much to write about. I've just been lazy. After spending 8 hours a day, 5 days a week on the computer, I don't feel the need to log on to a computer during the weekend. I think my eyes need the rest too.
Therefore, I've decided that I'll only update my blog WHEN I feel like doing so. I doubt I have many readers anyway, so no one is losing out. And from the chat messages I get on my chatbox, I'm sure my blog is viewed as a passing glance by people who have too much free time on their hands.
