H o n e y f l o w e r r: Hair Journey Part One: Korean Perm @ Silkcut Salon

First, let me post a selfie with my new hair before I start.

What is the IN thing nowadays? The answer is none other than Korean related stuffs like Kpop, Kdramas, Stylenanda and Ulzzangs. Even for hair, the latest trend is also Korean related. Yes, I'm referring to Korean perm. Wanna look pretty just like the girls in those kdramas? Hair plays a big part in looking good.

Visited Silkcut Salon today with my hideous hair this morning in a terrible condition. My hair gets oily real easily and the weather of Singapore often make it worst. Due to that, I ended up troubling the lady to shampoo my hair for a few times before apply the perming chemical. Wendy was my stylist for the day but almost everyone did something for my hair today.

The chemical was supposingly to be left on my head for 15min but right after Wendy applied it, she noticed something was wrong and washed it off right away hence the chemical only stayed on my head for about 2min. I didn't know there is bleaching chemical on my hair as I've not been told by any of my past stylists before. The only time I bleached my hair was 5years back which should not be a problem for perming now. Both Geri and Wendy panicked and so did I. The reason all of us got worried is because this could results in really burnt and damaged hair after the perm. Imagine going to some salon whereby the stylist isn't careful and observant enough then that's for your hair. I should really count myself lucky to have a group of professional stylists serving me. As the chemical were only left for 2min on my head, some parts may not have absorbed it. I was quite worried about the outcome but I feel like I'm in safe hands.

Low heat was used on my perm in order not to further damage my hair. Therefore a longer time was needed. I've heard of some horrible experiences about hair perming in which some got their hair burnt and damaged after perming, they were left with no choice but to snip off their hair. I WILL NEVER WANT THAT TO HAPPEN TO ME! In some salon, the stylist will just set the heat to its highest without giving a second thought of how damage your hair will be after the perm and I guess that's how some people ended up having 'grass' instead of beautiful perm.

Tada!! Here is the final outcome of the perm which I am really satisfied. It gives my hair body and volume. My hair texture is pretty soft after the session. It is definitely dry but that's a common thing for permed hair so I do not worry about that. I just need to maintain them well.

Pardon my messy hair colours. Gonna get them fixed soon!

I'd like to express my gratitude to the Silkcut team especially Geri and Wendy for putting in so much effort on my hair. It makes me feel good to see the team discussing on what's the best for my hair because I know they're truly sincere in wanting the best for me. They are most concern about the texture which means quality. Hair textures are really important. Nobody will look good in any hairstyle with poor hair texture. Texture comes first. Guess I've learnt quite a lot of hair knowledge today! The products used for this korean perm are from shiseido japan which from what I know is a really good brand. I can't wait to do my hair colour with them again but in the meanwhile, my hair needs to rest. Wonder what colour will it be this time round. Thank you Silkcut for having me. It was a really pleasant experience with them. :)
