Practical Charm

In my conquest for looking great, I try very hard not to ever neglect my hair. On times when I do disregard my mane, I go hunting for a hair treatment cream

It definitely passed the test of leaving a nice delicious scent to the hair and I when I used it to soak all the nasty clubbing cigarette stench, it only took one soak (I usually have to soak my hair twice!) On the first wash, it did leave my hair smoother, silkier and easier to handle, but treatments should last your hair for the next couple of days; Am I not right?

At a steep MYR49.00 per bottle of 150grams, aside from it's multiple reviews on how good it is, It never quite worked for me (I've definitely tried better). Perhaps owing to the fact that I'm Asian and it probably doesn't work as well on Asian hair as compared to (yes that's why you see different products in the different regions of the world)

Product : Fudge's Dynamite Hair Finishing Treatment

One Tube of 150gms: Lasts for a maximum of 8-10 washes for shoulder length hair. Go figure.

I live in a country where the sun is scorching hot… which within minutes can get really humid. I hate the idea of getting my hair all veraciously dry and superbly and flat the next.

Gah! I needed a hair glossing serum!

Alright, I bought it because of it's adorable golf ball sized blue and green package with the striking pink tag. (It looked too cute compared to the others!) It's CUTE! THERE'S NO BETTER REASON TO BUY IT! Then again. I'll elaborate anyway.

Again, my weakness for compact items, this is an easy bring along item small enough for travel and daily use! Love the sturdy features on the dispenser so you don't accidentally 'pump' serum by accident.

I have a crown of dark brown hair with touches of Caramelized honey shades which can appear very dry and frazzled. (Especially after a hard clean wash!) I simply lather a lil bit on my hair and I can get that famous Jennifer Aniston or Britney Spears smooth silky hair effect! (Yes! THERE IS HOPE FOR US ALL!)

The scent is an amazing hints of grapefruit and lemon! If I’m stuck at the club with the scent of heavy smoke in my hair, this helps with getting rid of that nasty smoky smell.

It says on the side of the bottle 'Outshine everyone'.. and trust me this is the BEST product I’ve ever used for a glossing serum although it’s price is abit on the high side

A wise top hair stylist once told me.

"If you want what you see in the magazines and on models, It's not really the hair cut. It's how you style it after the cut"

And ever since I one day mindlessly decided to get a boyish hair cut to start the new year, it didn't occur to me that my hair would look so terribly flat very much unlike the cute Japanese girly girl I saw in the magazine.

Never mind, I popped by the nearest pharmacy and got myself a starter tub for my styling needs.

I love how Lucidol market their products. They've got this hearts as gauges for holding power of each of their individual gels and waxes. This little tub is carries an amazing white cream that upon opening, resembles a frosting of cream on cake.

It hasn't got this overpowering smell like most hair products that are produced for hair hold, and the finished style gives me a volumed bob, Bye, bye flat hair! It's so small, I can dump it in my
bag and use it as and when i like, even if I'm rushing off to work. Each time I use it, it produces a soft natural yet volumised look.

It comes in 25g and 80g tubs in Singapore but so far I've only seen an 80g tub here in Malaysia.

It's a styling savior for chicks with short hair

Product :Creamy Souffle Hair Wax by Lucidol
Price : RM13.88 at most major Pharmacies for a tub of 80g
Application : For that flat hair. I personally like to tap the tips of my hair brush into the tub and evenly brush it in. Use fingers and to scrunch up hair for the 'out of bed' look. Or you can follow Singapore's Lucidol for funky hair styling tips!
Shelf Life : 18 months
One tub: Lasts approximately 12 months for daily application once a day.
Tips: There is no really no need to wait for as price drop. Unless, you're Singaporean and ever want to save that wee bit of dough, it's definitely cheaper in Malaysia But I would like to go down to Sg to get myself an even smaller tub to carry round!
