Jean Yip SuperShine Perming!
I have never dyed my hair, rebonded it, permed it, only plainly cut it or temporary curled it! But decided that since I was to start work, I wanted something different to signify a new chapter in my life. Thank you so much to Nuffnang and Jean Yip for this amazing opportunity!!
Normal, virgin hair.
My hair is naturally pretty straight so I didn't want to rebond it, so I chose to do a digital perm instead. Are you ready to find out my experience?? Haha. I don't look radically different because I didn't want to do bangs (don't think I can get used to the face back in the mirror)
Looking at possible hairstyles!
Following this, they applied something on my hair and put my head through this heating thing, apparently it was to break the bonds in my hair and make it all stretchy. Since my hair wasn't subjected to previous chemicals, I was put under the machine for 45 mins! Poor hair :(
It was washed off and then we began preparing for the curls!
Zapping me up! Think I look like medusa.
With the entire machine!
They zapped it for 45 mins or something. I was tweeting A LOT.
Removed! Hahahha this is quite funny. Ok you may laugh too.
Spraying my hair with... something so that the curls can come out and that it gets moisturized :)
This was so fun to touch! Cold air steaming to neutralize my hair and bond my hair together again!
Blow drying my hair took really long because my hair is really straight!
Dried! :)
Styling!
With stylist Johnny :) I really really LOVE my hair! I think it's a really elegant, classy look but not too overboard. Hope my hair manages to stay like this for at least 3 months :(
Finished product! I don't think I will be dying my hair soon though. Maybe in a few years when I get more white hair or something.
This whole thing took like... 6 hours? Including 3 toilet breaks, snack breaks, and because my hair was completely chemical free, a lot of the processes had to be longer than usual.
BUT I REALLY REALLY LOVE IT. It's totally worth the time and effort which I really appreciate because the first thing you look at someone is their face right? And your hair frames your face. So your hair is very important PLEASE TAKE CARE OF IT!
If it's dry please moisturize it, use hair products, your hair CAN BE SAVED!
I was also given hair masks to use after my conditioner for the next few weeks AND a curl activator!! Will post pictures of it after I take photos of them heehee.
You can choose SuperShine Rebonding OR Curling! And my hair is NOT DRY AT ALL. Find out more at a Jean Yip outlet near you!
