Tried & Tested Trio : Hair Oils

Macadamia Natural Oil Healing Oil Treatment, L'Oreal Professionel Mythic Oil & L'Oreal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Oil

As you all know, I work full-time in a medical-related field where blood, guts and saliva get thrown in the air and being a hygienic freak, I HAVE to scrub my body after work PLUS wash my hair.  Every.  Single.  Day.  That, in hair speak, means that I strip my hair of its natural oils and as a result, I dowse my hair every day in hair oils in an attempt to nourish it.  Here are 3 hair oils I have tried and tested.  Check it out y’all…

Touching Up My Redhead Roots

I’ve had no regrets since I became a total redhead in January when I was holidaying in Hong Kong.  If you’re in HK and you’re looking for a hairdresser in the New Territories, I HIGHLY recommend Kay from Hair Q in Tai Po Plaza who is MAGIC!  I’ve had my hair cut by him twice and it looks amazing when I step out of the salon and it still looks amazing 2.5 months later when it’s grown out with lots of lovely layers and natural volume.  Unfortunately, my hair style might still look good, but my roots were raging to be done a few weeks ago.  Not to worry as I had anticipated this by purchasing L’Oreal Paris Excellence Fashion P66 Intense Spicy Red before I hopped on the plane back to Melbourne.  Here’s how I got on…

New Beauty Video : Review & Tutorial of VS Sassoon Big Hair Styler 1000

VS Sassoon Big Hair Styler, Big Hair Styler 1000

Many pink moons ago, I was selected to be a VS Sassoon Video Review Trial Team Member and I did a vlog on the Wave Envy – I re-watched the video before making this video and arghhh…I was ghastly…the only good part is the Blooper Scene at the end :P  { watch it if you want }  Well, the bizarre thing is the people at VS Sassoon liked my ghastly video and offered to send me their latest new innovation – VS Sassoon Big Hair Styler 1000 - provided I do a video review.  How could I say no?

If you’re not a fan of watching Youtube videos (I’m not!  I am weird like that!), then let me break it down for you in words…
