Yee ‘O Lost Souls

I feel so pathetic. I had to read other people’s blogs (strangers or friends or famous people, doesn’t matter) to get myself motivated to write my own. I was reading Kennysia’s girlfriend’s blog and was totally impressed by her long hair.

From now on I vow to never cut my hair in the next two years. :D  So no saloon visits (other than wash or treatment) for me until 2009. My hair grows very slowly therefore it took me about 3 years just to grow my hair to down half my back, which was the longest I ever had in my life. I had always wanted to grow my hair down to my waist but just as it was about to reach that lenght, I grew bored of it and decided to cut.

I really have no patience.

And of course, long hair can be a bother especially when you have to wear the veil. sighs. In addition to sitting on them and often times get them stuck between the rattan braids of the chairs at home, not fun.

But I shall prevail this time! Somehow…

The last time I cut my hair was December 2005. I cut it the shortest ever and since the stylist misunderstood me, it turned out really weird. But at least it was a nice change. I didn’t have to tie my hair in a long time after that hehehe.

I just read that there is absolutely NO way to make hair grow faster. Believe whatever you want, there’s no such methods in current technology. Fact: Hair grows a maximum of half an inch a month and that’s it. But you can influence how healthy your hair follicle is though. (and the only solution to split ends is to cut them)

And after reading the articles more, I think I’m gonna switch to salon products soon rather than the mass produced ones. I have been planning to switch shampoos in a while now anyway, just as soon as I finish my batch of Pantene. The first three ingredients are the most important in a shampoo so I just checked and my current Pantene shampoo has Ammonium Laureth Sulphate, one type of lather to make bubbles when you wash your hair. The thing about these lathers is that, they contribute little to the washing of your hair and can actually dry your hair. The gentlest type is sodium laureth sulphate and guess what? My replacement shampoo L’Oreal Elseve - contains it! What a coincidence!

And you see, the experts reccomend that the gentler the better. So yeah, after one more washing my pantene is finished and I’m switching straight to L’Oreal.

Actually, it’s common for most popular brands to not use sodium laureth sulphate, but opt for its less gentle cousins. Which is why salon products are more expensive than mass-market ones.

I also just learned the truth about dandruff. If you really care about your hair, go here. It’s really good. And clears up a lot of myths about hair, like blow-drying. Which is not bad for your hair as some might assume.

I started typing feeling uninspired now I end it feeling like a hair care expert.

Ta’ra!
