well back to work - friday morning now. Just a day to go till the weekend! But with an extended lunch im not too bummed out! Colored my hair last nite - it came out more orange than brown! Im dissapointed. You see too many asians walking around with orange hair! Its like im a redhead now and not brown haired! It looks nothing like the hair color on the box!!!! Maybe it will develop over time, but by that time - my roots will be showing! Grrrr, can never get the color i want!!!! (Tobey Maguire hair color )

(Tobey Maguire hair color ) hehe, vacation countdown.... maybe you need to leave it in longer? If you have really thick hair it will take longer...also depends on the brand...also need to see what it says about black hair...i've had that happen in the past but always associated it with the Irish part of my family...you got a little Irish in ya? hehe

well, dude all the hair colors i use are for asian hair. They dont sell the stuff for white hair here, coz the market wouldnt be as big. But dude, to tell you the truth , everyone here walks round with orangey hair!!! Noone has brown hair to be honest - its weird, why noone can make a color that actually colors the hair brown!!! I woud look soooo good with brown hair. Hows this for a theory? If i try to by 'blonde' for caucasian hair, will that make my black hair lighter in color!? I wanna try that - you know test out my theory! Just dont want the bad results of course

Must be the product then...maybe you need to get something from here... Well, in your case it would probably turn white...hehe...the only thing I can think is that the product just doesn't cut it...maybe weaker peroxide or different ammonia content, just don't know...though I still say you probably have to try an american product...me, i've never come out orange/red (other than a light hint in the sun, I am part Irish after all...hehe)

well i hav black hair. so i dont know what the american products are for black hair. U cant compare my hair to your hair tho, your caucasian and prob hav lighter hair dude! I just wanna try a blone hair colorant on my black hair . It might turn it lighter...thats all i want. Seriously youd think, living in asia they would hav products to better suit asian hair! Im sure not everyone wants to be orange! but dude, in thumbsucker, if u see puccis hair, its dark, but orange-ish under the sun. Mines like that! but a bit darker of course!! It was the first thing i noticed! On him its ok, coz hes white, and his mother in the movie is a red head. It actualy suits him, looks kinda natural - but on me, it doesnt hav that effect. think brown (not red) would suit me better. Ive yet to find a good product, and ive tried soooo many brands! I havent tried a non asian brand, coz they dont seem to make colors for asian hair (ie black!) so i didnt wanna try them out! Well, we;ll see if i can find a good one in manila now ...

It might turn it lighter...thats all i want. hmmm...well, from what it says on the box...and from the net, it's not all about color as much as it is about type of hair (course, fine, etc.) so, despite being caucasian I have coarse (or you could say horse) hair...and it takes quite a bit longer for it to get to the prescribed color...my natural color is dark, dark brown with red highlights (the irish part) which is why I use a medium golden brown...it pretty much eliminates the red tones... Living anywhere you would think that they would test products period, but they don't and half the stuff is crap... Somehow I get the feeling he could have purple hair and would say "on him it's ok" hehe.... hehe, I keep picturing some show a while back with a Japanese musical group on and one of them had bright red hair...not a copper like red head, a fire truck red...hehe...

well most asians have gone blonde! And im not into that dude, so im not suprised u saw that red-headed japanese guy! hehe fire truck red!
Well that may be a good idea - maybe leave it on for much, much longer than it says on the box. Coz now the color is barely visible...but maybe it just develops over time! I think with black hair, your color options are really limited - still wanna try my theory of buying a blonde color! Maybe BLONDE + BLACK HAIR = light brown. You never know till you try!

Still looks funny to me...but not as funny as when they were into the Elvis look...or the 50's jeans & t-shirt with the cigarettes rolled in the sleeve... I don't know...but it would be interesting to see what happens...

i had my haircut quite short on vacation - well i wanted to test out their hair saloons. So ive cut off most of the color. and ive cut off the mini mullet. Just got the plain ol everyday mini mohawk that everyone and their brother sports nowadays. Well what can u say, i go with the flow - im a sucker for watevers in style.
And i bought a really, really, really light hair color (light brown, almost blonde!) - so when i need to touch up my roots in like 3-4 weeks, im gonna seek what this does to the color! I can almost bet ill go orange again tho! Heaven forbid!

wow 5 inches is a lot to cut off dude!!! my hair is short now, real short..i tried to mohawk it this morning for work, but i realised at this length, its better to go for the 'bed head' look. I like 'bed head' - just run the gel thru my hair...mess it bout and im good to go. And i look more like a teenager now then ever - the lady in the mall asked me my age, and when i said 31, she was like whoa! (as in Keanu -whoa!) - dude, i thought u were 18!

well not skipping skool - maybe skipping college heheheh Usually i go to work bed-head (ie. spiky, mess) ! But I actually have experimented with going really neat and flat lately and ive gotten quite used to it! I look really 'proper' and SO neat. I cant put it into words without sounding vain, but i look so groomed! heheh Its kinda hard to maintain tho, coz i gotta wake up early to have it blow dried! Which means im late for work (later than usual!) Just that it looks so good neat heheh (without sounding narcissistic of course!) - Noone has commented on it yet in the office, so i dont know which they prefer - neat or bedhead? So ill probably hav to issue a memo later for a staff - survey hehheh
