Komachi the Hair Cult using OCS Organic Care System Hair Dye

1:04 AM claire 0 Comments

I've experimented with long and short hairstyles since primary school and I've decided that I like long hair on me. However, my usual hair was getting a little too boring for my liking, so I wanted to shake things up a bit. Was deciding between a perm or a hair dye and decided to go for the latter so that I could still look youthful.

Booked an appointment with Komachi the Hair Cult under Meiko, and crossed my fingers that it would turn out well, and I am so happy that it did!

Before:

Unkempt hair, dry ends. Go away now!!! Also, the roots of my hair are really weak so I drop a lot of hair :( My hair is naturally a dark shade of chestnut brown, perhaps part of my german roots.

All ready for my baby step transformation! Notice how the ends of my hair look really dry? :(

Meiko began by cutting my hair. She is from Nagoya so you can ask her about things to eat in her hometown! She has been in this industry for more than 8 years :O

After cutting my hair, it was time for my first hair wash. I've always liked this towel wrapped around my hair kinda look. Oh! If you noticed, Komachi designed their very own slip on robe which prevents hair from falling on your clothes! Very thoughtful right?

Next came the big decision.

I asked Meiko for her recommendation on which hair colour I should pick, considering I didn't want something too obvious and inappropriate for work. She gave me three choices, ash, gold and toffee. After comparing between them, I decided that I liked toffee the best because of its vibrant and youthful shade. It was also several shades lighter than my natural hair.

Thus, Toffee it was!

Komachi the Hair Cult uses organic hair products and the best part is that it is AMMONIA-FREE! This means that your hair's essential moisture and protein levels are maintained so that your hair is not damaged by the colouring process. Woohoo!

You can create any color imaginable with Organic Color Systems products; fiery reds, intense coppers, rich golds, auburn browns, clean platinums and infinite natural tones. Plus, these colors are true to the chart, and don’t fade, with unrivalled coverage even on resistant grey hair and with natural a gloss/shine.

After deciding on a colour, Meiko went off for a while to mix the dye. When I saw the mix, I asked Meiko if that was going to be the colour of my hair because it's too light!! She laughed and said that the actual result will be much darker. Phew~

My hair rarely looks this neat.

After applying the mixture evenly on my hair, she placed a plastic bag on my head and plugged in an oscillating machine. This Heater machine heats up your hair slightly so that the dye will seep into your hair faster! It's important that the machine your salon uses does not use too high a temperature on your hair or it will damage your hair cuticles!! This machine was gentle and I barely felt anything at all.

Some time passed and I got my hair washed again!

Meiko wanted to prevent my hair from being dry so she recommended hair treatment for my delicate hair! This purple shade is quite nice huh. Haha! After applying this generously on my hair, it was time for another wash, blow dry, and to witness the finished product. Everything took about 2.5hours?

After:

Behold, neat, smooth, silky, toffee hair!!! I was so pleased with this because it's a huge difference from my hair before! I couldn't stop smelling and touching my hair. SUPER HAPPY!!

Here's a side by side comparison for your reference:

I really like the OCS products Komachi the hair cult uses as it has:-

• 64 intermixable colors, concentrates, brighteners, and lighteners.

• The most natural, certified organic ingredients with absolutely no ammonia.
• True to color chart results with infinite flexibility to unleash your creativity.
• Semi, demi or permanent results.
• Up to 3 levels of lift with color and up to 7 levels of lift with lightener.
• Supreme 100% Grey Coverage of even the most resistant grey hair.
• Cleaner blondes and beautiful reds that fade on tone.
• Longer lasting tonal values that virtually eliminates color fade.

My stylist, Meiko! She also loves experimenting with braid hair designs and styles, so if you have a particular one in mind, just tell her and she'll make it happen for you!!

With her magic hands, she gave me waterfall braids and curled ends. :D I really love this lighter shade of brown!!

The braiding bit took her less than 10 minutes to complete. Wow!!

I freaking LOVE IT!! Wished my hair could stay like that forever. It's an elegant and classy look that's suitable for all occasions. I'm already looking forward to my next trip to see what Meiko has in store for my hair!!

After my hair was done, I rushed to TWG to have lunch, was soo hungry!

Thank you Komachi, Meiko and Miko for your help!!! It's been a few weeks since my hair has been dyed and it's still healthy and smooth!! No regrets :)
