Digital perm #2

A year ago I posted about my digital perm and every month it's still the most visited and searched subject on my blog. I also get asked a lot of questions about it so I figured I'll do an updated post. When I went to Hong Kong last month, I got my annual digital perm. This style works for me because it takes absolutely no maintenance and gives my flat straight hair wave and volume. Feel free to ask me any questions about it!

During:
There are tons of hair salons in Hong Kong that are reasonably priced. There are high end salons too but I tend to stick to the ones on the streets, if I wanted to pay $300+, I would just get it done in the States. This year I went to Hair Code, and I usually get the package including haircut, treatment (to protect your hair), and digital perm that ends up being around $100. I always specify that I want loose beachy waves so I don't end up looking like Shirley Temple. They permed my bangs this year too which is the first time I've ever had that and it gave them just the right lift.

After:
Literally I woke up and my hair looked like this, it's really like on TV when the girl wakes up with perfect hair and makeup (the latter unfortunately does not happen in real life). I usually shower in the morning and then blowdry my hair with a diffuser which gives the curls a more even wave and not so messy and kinked like in the photo. The best thing is I never have to use any product and my hair stays voluminous. If you deep condition your hair once in a while, a perm is really not too damaging, I'd say my hair is in fine health. It's the best solution to those (like me) too lazy to do their hair daily. I'll take the extra 30 minutes of sleep in the morning, thanks. Hope this helped!

ooooh, that machine looks creepy, but the result is so beautiful! I absolutely love it! x

Your hair looks beautiful! I love the beachy waves. I wish I could do this to my hair, but I fear that it will turn out a disaster. My hair is super flat and the strands are unbelievably thin so I can't really do much with it :(

Cylia said...

lol! that is so funny to see! but your hair looks incredible! p.s. If you haven’t already.. I entered a blogger contest and I really need you to 'like' my picture.. it only takes a second. And the contest only runs until today (Friday) 3pm GMT (+1)! I'd really appreciated. here is an explanation: http://cyliaaaa.blogspot.com/2011/09/tag.html

Cinz said...

Love your perm!! Btw, do you have the addy for this Hair code salon? I been thinking of perming my hair again lately.

Question time:)

How long does your perm last for? I've been told by stylists in the previous salons that i tried, if the waves are too loose they won't last as long? So for my past 3 experiences with perming my hair, i had to go for the tighter/small curl and almost made me look like a poodle. Then i would have to wait for 1.5 months for it to tame done in order to get that soft loose wave look i was looking for in the first place!! ARghh...so u get my frustration?hehe

and i've never tried this digital perm thingie...it looks intimidating..lol

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is needed to get set up? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would
cost a pretty penny? I'm not very web savvy so I'm not 100% sure. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
