Before all that drama about my hair being chopped, this was how unruly it looked. Tangled, uneven, split ends

Seconds after I got to admire how unruly my hair looked, Su gave me no chance to admire it any longer and snipped it away....... She was nice enough to leave the bunch on the table for me to say bye to it..... 


After waving goodbye, time to get down to business. My hair was trimmed and snipped to the perfect shape, and Su chose my hair dye colour of a cool brown tone to suit the upcoming weather. I never knew hair dye colours can be chosen in accordance to weather! How amazing is that. Well, I always leave it up to Su to decide for me (because i'm indecisive like that) because she's the pro at it! Got my hair dyed and stuck on by wrap for 25min before getting my head massaged and the dye washed off. Did i mention for the 249274th time that hair washing is my fav fav fav time at the salon ? *inserts gleeful eyes*



After that, here comes the real deal. I was here to try out their newest product offering, called the Cinderella Protein Care. It essentially is like a hair treatment, just that the results last for approximately 3 months (results vary for different hair types and activities that you do on a regular basis) as compared to regular hair treatment!! This Cinderella Protein Care is super popular in Korea right now, even though the product reigns from USA. It comprises of 3 steps, using 3 separate products with different purposes in this whole treatment.  



Step 1: Like at any speech, you'll have to "address" the crowd and do an opening speech before moving on to the main performance. Similarly, the first step of the Cinderella Protein Care "opens" your hair up, so that your hair is prepped and ready to absorb more nutrients in. The application of the cream to my hair and roots smells deliciously fruity, like ... raspberry. After product is applied, I was hooked up to the bubble head (that's what i like to call it) and let it steam for 7 - 10min. Once timer buzzes, I was ushered to wash my hair, followed by a short hair massage, allowing the product to be fully absorbed in. 

Bubble-Head Steam

Step 2: Before the 2nd product is applied, Su and her assistant had to blow dry my hair partially first. Once it was done, the 2nd product - which is a 100% protein cream was applied on and I had to let it absorb into my roots naturally. No steaming, no bubble head, just sitting back and reading my magazine while bobbing my head back and forth freely. (Y) Once 25min was up, the hairstylists came back to blow dry my hair (with hot air) until my hair is completely dried. Then Su used a straightener to straighten/curl my hair. It doesn't matter whether your hair gets straightened/curled at this stage, what matters is that some form of heat element is applied directly to your hair to ensure that the product gets absorbed even deeper. 

Step 3: After you look at yourself in the mirror looking super chio with the nice curls, time to get it washed off. noooooo, there goes the nice straightener curls... Time for the last step. The last step should be easy to guess - it's the Closing. After feeding your hair with all that nutrients, you'll have to lock them in to prevent them from escaping easily right? Yeap! So the final step is a spray which locks in the treatment. After application, heat is radiated in an oscillating machine over your head for 7min now, and after-which it'll be washed off.
