Claire's Flair

Outfit of the day: Top from Hong Kong, Skirt from Thevelvetdolls, Heels from Aerosoles

Quite obvious right! Haha. This is what 3-4 months of hair growth looks like. Opted for green eyeshadow that day.

Komachi the Hair Cult has good service, when I sat down, magazines were presented along with my choice of drink, which was a hot green tea, and later when my tea was too cold, they promptly changed it to a piping hot one!

They put on plastic ear caps so your ear doesn't get any dye applied on it by accident! It's really cute and thoughtful :)

Said rotating machine.

Meiko-chan! My roots don't really look that brown in this picture because of the lighting. Please see the next picture.

Tadah! Very happy with how it turned out because it matches the current faded brown the rest of my hair is like.

How gorgeous is this?? I am pretty hooked on this waterfall braids thing, should just use this style for my future wedding too. Haha.

Right profile. Meiko is a perfectionist. She actually re-did this 3 times in order to get it neat and organized. End result ? I LOVE IT! 

Not kidding.

Til next time! ;)

Before starting my scalp and hair treatment, I wanted a quick fringe trim! Thanks Meiko!!

Done!

Afterwhich I was introduced to the products that were going to be used on my hair. You can purchase them after the treatment for use at home too! These products are carefully tested and have achieved proven results in Japan! 

Hair products are best absorbed after a good wash, so the treatment began with purple rose shampoo accompanied by an amazing head massage which made my hair smell divine!

Head massages are the best!

Then began the green tea scalp treatment. Miko will segment your hair and generously brush it on your head, producing a nice, cooling effect! This treatment helps to balance your scalp's ph levels and deep cleanses your pores to get rid of impurities caused by dirt, dust, grime and free radicals in the air.

At the same time, it repairs the texture and cuticles of your hair :)

Then my hair was placed in a mist steamer so the molecules can easily penetrate into my hair and scalp! Many salons use different types of machines to produce heat, but please remember that if you can feel the heat emitting to your face or your scalp tells you that the temperature is too hot, it is BAD for your hair! It is actually more damaging than helping. I was very pleased with the machine used at Komachi because I could still move my head to read and it was very comfortable throughout!

Once my scalp has locked in the moisture, the treatment was rinsed off, leaving a cool sensation that was soothing and refreshing.

After drying my hair, this Oil of Argan was applied as a supplement. It is 100% paraben and allergen free and it does wonders for your hair! It replenishes moisture and gives your hair that extra boost ;) This can also be used on dyed hair on days you feel your hair is feeling dry!

Verdict: I LOVE IT! Will definitely come back to get this again! My hair feels so much more moisturized, and I used to have an oily scalp but this is completely gone now. You can see how shiny my hair looks in this picture, and that's because it was SUPER SMOOTH!!

Meiko shows off her love for braids as she styles my hair for the afternoon out :) Check out that zig-zag in the middle.

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.

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!

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~

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!

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.

:3 

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!!

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 :)
