[REVIEW] Hair Attitude Group in Pandan Indah | Hair Colour

Reviewing the services at Hair Attitude Group

If you're here looking for a hair salon in Pandan Indah that provides hair care/grooming needs, well you have come to the right page! Hidden in Pandan Indah is a Pandan Indah salon called Hair Attitude Group which was opened in mid-2013. Since I recently got myself a job (YES I DONT BELIEVE IT EITHER) somewhere in Ampang, might as well find a regular salon to pop-by on days when I need a new look. Teehee. So, if you're wondering about the services at Hair Attitude Group, I'll be sharing with you about my most recent hairdo. So scroll away.

SERVICES

The interior of Hair Attitude

Well like any other salon, they provide cut & wash, trimming, colouring service, treatment and more! And since it has been a few months since I last coloured my hair, I decided to test out their colouring services. Since my hair was a little bright at the bottom half, and I didn't want to bleach my hair (cause it usually takes forever), I decided to only colour the bottom part and what colour fits black like blue. WOOOPS, spoiler alert!

REVIEW

The condition of my hair before the treatment

Advised by Lee to bleach the bottom parts of my hair

Felt like a VIP with 2 professional hair stylist drying my hair

The whole colouring procedure took me about 2 hours and 30 minutes which I consider it pretty fast than usual. I left my hair to the hands of Lee, a hair stylist from Hair Attitude Workshop who has been working at the salon for over 3 years and counting. He was indeed very friendly as he advised me on what to do to my hair based on my preferences. I decided to go dark blue, and he was nice enough to bleach the ends of my hair just so that the blue pops-up at the bottom creating an ombre shade to my hair. Sweet!

The dying process

A closer look to the Schwarzkopf dye

Now let's go to the process of colouring. Application of the bleach, leave-on and rinse took about 40 minutes overall, and I had a nice conversation with Lee while waiting. The process then continued with the hair dye, which I was told that they used Schwarzkopf hair products to colour my hair and I honestly have to say that I like that the product did not have an ammonia smell which I usually hate. That took another 50 minutes from application, leave-on and rinse.

On steam treatment twice since i took the 2 step treatment

We all known that the hair loses moisture once your hair has been coloured, so Lee was nice enough to explain to me the importance of treating the hair after dying hair colour to my hair. Customers may opt to choose 1 step treatment or 2 step treatments, but in my case, i opted to go for the 2 step treatment cause obviously the 2 step treatment is better. Teehee. So again they applied the first step, left it to steam for 5 minutes, applied the second step, left it to steam for another 5 minutes then brought my hair to rinse. The the treatment took about 40 minutes.

VERDICT & RESULTS

And tadaa! Loving how mysterious the shade of blue is

Before and After shot

*Drum rolls please* And tadaa, here's the outcome! I was surprised that it looked better than expected. This really proved to me that the hair stylist at Hair Attitude Group really knows what they're doing. My hair was styled by Lee and Ah Hong, both very well experienced in hair styling and I have to give credit to them for making me feel beautiful again. Hehe. I have to emphasise that they were very gentle when it comes to handling my hair, and they were nice enough to give me advice on how to properly care for my hair too. Definitely worth my time coming by this salon. Would I come again? I'd say YES! I like the confidence the hair stylist has, and I wouldnt need to worry about anyone messing up my hair.

[REVIEW] GGONG JI Hair Pack // Kocostar

Dont you hate dry frizzy hair?

Don't you hate bad hair days and split ends? From what i know, usually bad hair days are caused due to lack of nutrition for your hair, and that's why I'll be talking about the GGONG JI Hair Pack that I got from Althea.kr recently. The GGONG JI Hair pack has been specially designed to solve split ends and damaged hair, and its perfect timing cause my hair is extremely damaged for being too exposed to the sun here in KL. (Plus, im being guilty for not being a fan of conditioner) lol. So lets find out on how good it is!

The Packaging

Front packaging

Back Packaging

Close up shot

I have to say that i love how it comes in a hot pink packaging. On the front packaging, it states that  Ggongji means ponytail in Korean, and that its a simple & easy DIY hair care. And if you flip it over, you'll basically see just more korean words at the back. So, if you can read Korean, congratulations! But if you cant, then i guess you can just follow my step by step tutorial here.

What is inside

Whats inside?

The mask and a pink rubber band

So, whats inside? It has 1 hair mask and a pink rubber band for you to tie your hair up! With reference to the image on the front packaging, i think its pretty straight forward to know on how to use this. Right? RIGHT?! hehe. But if you're still confused, FRET NOT! Cause there will be a how to use it guideline below.

How To Use

Flip mask inside out

Grab your pony tail

Flip the mask over using the other hand

And tie it with the pink rubber band given

To use it is actually pretty simple. You can either slide your hair in, or do what i did! I decided to flip it inside out first to make it easier for me to grab hold of my hair. Next would be to grab your hair, flip the mask over using the other hand. And once you hair is all in, tie it in a pony tail with the pink rubber band. And wallah! A pony tail mask.

Decorate 

Adding a ribbon to make it look more presentable

Or tie it up in a bun! (no one would know that youre wearing a mask)

Please note that the treatment time would take at least 30 minutes, but if youre looking for intense care, it would be recommended to use this for about 2 to 3 hours for best results. Personally, i think you can pull it off, if you decide to walk around with the mask on attached to your hair. So since i had to go out for grocery shopping, here are my 'attemps' of making my mask look more unnoticable. You can either get a giant ribbon clip and clip your hair, or tie it up in a bun! What do you think?

After 3 hours 

After 3 hours

And the results? 

And after 3 hours with the mask attached to my hair, here are the results! I was thinking that the treatment would get my hair all wet and moist, but surprisingly, when i removed the mak, it felt like i had leave-on conditioner on my hair. Which means, you dont need to shower after the treatment. I think you can pretty much tell on how moisturizing it is right? And i'll honestly say that i was amazed on how soft my hair felt after removing the mask.

Results

Before: Dry with split ends

After: Smooth soft shiny hair! 

Can you believe what youre seeing?! I know, it took me a while to believe that a 3 hour treatment mask would do so much good for my hair. At only RM13 per pack, it beats paying hundreds at salons to get my hair to look soft and smooth. Will i repurchase? YES! My next pack of GGONG JI Hair Pack from Althea.kr is already on its way! hehe. So if youre tempted to get yourself a pack, you can always get it from Althea.kr or by hovering here to the direct link. I absolutely LOVE this hair mask despite it being my first hair mask! Please do leave a comment below if you have any questions.

EVO ; Haircare that speaks the truth

The event space of the launch of evo.

When it comes to hair, i personally find it really hard to determine which brand works the best for me. Especially when my hair needs special care since i have oily and dry scalp. I mean, marketing for hair products can be tough, like when you see in commercials, a girl with long hair would usually flip their hair flawlessly but when you use the product yourself, you don't exactly achieve the same results.

Some models who had a new make-over.

So just to get yourself out of the norms, i present to you evo, an innovative professional hair and beauty product manufactured to speak the truth. Originated all the way from the land down under, and they have decided to expand to Malaysia! And boy they do not fail to impress.

Showing off some styling technique's by using evo products

Demonstration of the latest hair trends

Evo caught my attention with this tag line which says 'Saving ordinary humans from themselves'. Got me really thinking on what that meant, and i think it embraces their brand pretty well. Evo steps outside the normal realm of trust-stretching invention in a 'wake up and smell the coffee' crusade of twisted honestly, designed to make people think.

Curling is made possible without using a curler.

Demonstration of evo hairstling products

Evo also claims that you wont find unnecessary, over marketed ingredients, no imaginary technology, no myths, no gimmicks, which sums up to the ingredients in Evo are active formulations. Nothing is added only to make claims on the label. I find their scheme interesting cause the whole idea sounds very hipster. So yes, i would actually consider this as a hipster haircare product if you ask me. haha

Model's showing off their custom hair conditioner.

They have 3 product ranges available to suit every needs of a consumer and of course the hairdressers. evo and evo Fabuloso are catered to be suitable for regular consumers, while evo Fabuloso Pro is for professional hairdressers! Im also loving how this particular product has its very own personality.

evo hair care and calm range.

evo curl range

evo style range

evo straight and volume range

Now, let me introduce to you a few things on evo. evo hair products claims that they are made from the finest globally sourced ingredients and are divided in 6 product families catering for different hair needs.

1     Calm dry follicles unit ; for moisturise dry, frizzy, colour-treated hair
2     Care love is in the hair ; a repair weak, brittle, colour-treated hair
3     Volume fat  & happy ; volumise fine, limp, colour-treated hair
4     Curl twisted for life ; support curly hair and enhance natural wave
5     Straight tame the strays ; smooth coarse hair and control the frizz
6     Style great sculptors dont use tofu ; styling and finishing

evo has one of the cutest concept with humour if you ask me, cause i find their tags so adorable. The person who even thought of it is just brilliant! hehe. They have evo face, body and tools too. But i wouldnt want to touch too much on that as its equivalently as good as their haircare products.

evo Fabuloso

Next would be evo Fabuloso, a product which conditions, revives, adds shine, intensifies colour and tones colour. These are definitely not your usual conditioners because these enhancing conditioners provide an instant hair colour boost which also nourishes your hair at the same time. They currently have 7 different shades, which would brighten coloured hair in only 3 minutes (thats insane). I really wouldnt mind having a can of this at home to revive the colour on my hair. So much YES!

evo Fabuloso Pro

And last but not least would be the evo Fabuloso Pro for professionals. These are understandable that its only suitable for professionals. Why? What makes eco Fabuloso Pro different is that, other than it colours and maintains, it also gives hair dresses unlimited semi colours to create. And yes, thats exactly what i mean, theyre customisable! Thats not even all, hairdressers can even create a special conditioner for you to maintain the colour of your hair. With that statement, im all in for evo products.

evo Fabuloso Pro preserve solutions

There are so many reason to love evo, and one of my favourite reason would be that they are ammonia and peroxide free! So say bye bye to the acidic smell of ammonia, and say hello to evo for a better option. They even take social responsibilities seriously because all their packagings are 100% recyclable and they even substitute synthetics with naturals when an equivalent is available. Hoorah!

evo Brushes

Im not lying when i say that this happens to be one of the hippest hair care product that i've ever laid my eyes on. At the launch, we had a demonstration on how can you use evo's styling products to embrace the beauty of your hair. From colouring, to styling, evo can be so flexible and easy to use anytime, anywhere.

Customisable solutions for customers to bring home

And there you have it. Evo, your option to be different. Do check their official website out at http://evohair.com to keep yourself update with Evo. Their availability in Malaysia will soon to be confirmed at participating salons, so be sure to keep an eye out for them, cause if you havent noticed, their evo packagings has humour written all over it ;)

[BEAUTY] Davines ; Sustainable Haircare.

If you think my scalp treatment by Davines was impressive, well, today i'll be talking about the varieties that you'll have by Davines! I was invited to attend the autumn/winter preview for Davines, an Italian hair care and styling brand which never fails to impress. I cant wait to share more about it, as this might really be treading BIG this coming year end season.

The Essential Haircare line.

The conditioners.

The brand itself has a very sustainable packaging where everything was carefully designed to satisfy the needs of the customer. And personally i think this particular brand would be one of the few brands that i know who cares for the environment. Going green is definitely trending, in order to save the environment and Davines has considered the weight and the volume of the product to reduce its environmental impact. Plastic usage was minimized, and the type of plastic used is the food grade kind to be sure that the content wouldnt have any chemical reactions. There was a lot of thought put into such an amazing product dont you think so?

Did you also know that they also help save special breeds of plants from extinction by working with Slow Food Presidia and farmers from all over Italy? And i think its a great way to spread the awareness to people on the extinctions.  Their products are highly natural, biodegradable, free from parabens and sulphate too which has been carefully designed to suit the customers needs. Instead of using sulphate, they use a more organic option to still keep the foam fun the lather on your hair.

^This guy right here is Italian.

Some information on the packaging.

We even had a someone all the way from Italy to explain to us about Davines' Essential Haircare line. And i absolutely love the fact that all the information stated are so minimal, yet meaningful. You can even find information like the farmers name and the location of where the ingredient came from in Italy. Now thats why i call transparent information right there.

Some of the varieties available.

No one likes to memorize things, or at least i think most of us dont. haha. So Davines has decided to use cute nicknames for their products, to be easy to to remember and it does give a cute ring to it too right? Above would be the nicknames of their Essential Haircare line, followed by whats the function. So have you found out which type suits your hair yet? Pretty easy huh?

Presenting the "More Inside" range.

They really make use of the wrapper too!

And now, lets check out their hair styling products. I know my eyes was all over their "More Inside" range. They come wrapped in beautifully-patterned paper so its always like your receiving a present each time you receive it. The fun doesnt end there, as when you flip-side the wrapper, theres  description to tell you more about the product on different ways to use it. Functional and creative dont you think so?

Some demonstrations on how to use the products.

That sexy volume ;)

Moving on on the hairstyles for Autumn/Winter 2015, well its all about gold and honey tones this season, perfect to compliment the shades of the season. And from the photos above, i think it pretty much said it all, BIG, BOLD and BEAUTIFULLY sexy. haha. We were shown on how to create extra volume using the products and a hair brush, and youre good to go in less than 5 minutes.

The art of colouring your hair this Autumn/Winter season

What amazes me was the colouring technique applied on this model to create a natural gradient to the hair colour. The secret to achieving this colour was by using something they called falmboyage which is a transparent sticky sheet that assist into getting the colour to blend in naturally. This style needs no touch up as once your hair grows, it makes it seem that you did it on purpose. *Jaw drops*

An edgier type of colouring, two tone colour.

Its also about texture, and a on the go hair style.

Healthy curls to die for.

What makes Davines unique is that they have hair styling products specially made for those with curly hair too. So if you have problems with styling your curly hair, Davines has the answer for you! I personally got my eyes caught on their Shimmering Mist from the "More Inside" range that instantly shines your hair. Who does love shimmers on their hair?

Presenting to you the Autum/Winter hairstyles for 2015.

The complete "More Inside" range.

Here i present to you the More Inside range which i absolutely love the prints on every bottle. Its easy to differentiate it too if youre planning to get the whole set of it. haha (Woops, guilty for wanting everything from this range) From moisturising mousse, hair sprays, sea salt spray, and more, its no doubt that Davines has already did a lot of research on the needs of the consumers.

The Essential Haircare line.

I managed to get some sniffs on the aroma of the shampoo, and guess what, they dont smell like saloon! They smell very fresh and a hint a nature, literally. Doesnt smell like chemicals at all! This brand sounds promising to me and i cant wait to give it a go. I'll be trying out the Minu for coloured hair and we shall see how it turns out soon! ;) Keep a look out for my Minu Shampoo and conditioner review soon!

For more information on Davines, do head on over to their official website. Theres more to come! Stay tuned in ;)
