Clarifying on hairy matters




Hi all,


How are you guys doing? Well, this is a pretty impromptu post cause I've been getting so many queries about my colored hair. For the record, this is my 5th coloring, and second time bleaching. Just to make things clear, I've never actually said that my hair is healthy or not damaged. Even my hairstylist asked me before my first bleach, TWICE, whether I was sure cause once it goes platinum blonde, my hair will be certified dead. After all the questions I received on how did I take care of my hair after multiple colorings cause it looked so healthy got me sick that what you're seeing isn't what the exact reality is. 

So here I am clarifying some myths - Once you bleach your hair, it will thin. By half, or more. Hair will fall excessively and it will not style properly once it's dead. It's like doing rebonding. Each time you color your hair, your hair will get coarser and drier. There's no such thing as shiny, healthy hair. That was done using serum, treatment and a flat iron. Your hair doesn't dry properly anymore (it takes half a day for my hair to air dry) and it feels like plastic once it's dry. You cannot brush your hair like how it used to be. Your fingers will get stuck when you run through your hair. All these are common, especially when you've colored your hair like mine. Unless you can spend to do treatments every other day, or not wash it for a week or so (washing it more often dries the hair) then you're lucky.




I never intended to deceive anyone, nor did I want you to be fooled by my photos. What it is, is exactly what it is like in reality. I loved those rainbow, rogue or whatever hair coloring I've done but I won't deny that it ruined my hair to the maximum extent and I would not recommend it to anyone else especially when they ask me how to do it and such because of this. Unless if you're easy going like me (cause I'm just gonna cut it really short and I don't mind cutting it), do NOT dye your hair like how I did. 

So this mermaid green will be my last color, and I'm gonna go with a short hair-do while let it grow back slowly. I've had long hair all these years and frankly, I'm bored of it. So I hope everything's crystal now, and no assumptions will be made cause I don't want in the future someone says "Hanie said it was all okay but it's not" and then sue me. That would suck, big time.

Ok, that's all. I'mma update again soon!

  1. Dyed my hair in school - probably have done it more than seven times until uni that I got used to coarse hair. I've stopped since 2009 and my hair is a lot lot lot better. At one point I finally felt like all the color and chemical treatments are not worth ruining my hair (also because I am too tired too maintain it by going for regular treatments).

    Unless a person is willing to put an effort and face brittle hair, you're right, she/he shouldn't.

  3. Cannot wait to see your new hairdo. I'm too chicken to go short, but love the look on other girls, esp. the bob! Granted, you don't have a square face, you'll be able to pull off any style, really =)

    1. i can't wait too, it's been ages since I last had short hair. I don't think I'll do the bob ala Mrs Beckham. Probably something softer and more fluid that suits my hippie outfit.
