Post Digital Perming Hair Care

Hey 'er boys and girls!

I know, I know it has been WEEKS since I last posted, but I have two words for the erm, content delay: Wedding Preparations.

I am telling you, my schedule has been been filled to the brink because of the seemingly endless suppliers we need to book. And because I am still being a persistent know-it-all, I still haven't tapped a wedding coordinator.

Actually, I almost booked one but that girl turned out to be a prick - good thing she showed her true colors before we paid her asking price. Sheesh, there are a lot of, for a lack of better word, unpleasant people in Manila's very small wedding industry.

That reminds me, I need to do a new post for my wedding series on this blog. I think I just wrote one article for that, like four months ago. tee-hee!

Anyway, I got my hair digi-permed late in December and I've been wanting to share with you guys the aftercare products I use for my locks.

I was actually very frustrated because I couldn't find products that are specifically engineered for curly hair anywhere in the city. Its like every product is for straight hair only. Let's blame the media for this single-mindedness, shall we?

Shampoo

Good thing we now have access to more international products via SnR, where I was able to buy TIGI Catwalk Curlesque shampoo.

Date Night: Outfit and Makeup

Picture this: you're going out on a Saturday night but you don't have anything fabulous to wear! Que horror! So, you decide to just head to the mall and pick up something new to impress your hot date with.

Okay, stop right there.

Now, breathe.

Remember, you don't have to splurge any more than you have to; especially, considering that the next pay day is a lightyear away.

So, what you have to do is check your closet again and I suggest put on a black ensemble -maybe the good ol' LBD ala Audrey Hepburn- then pair it with some simple makeup  to achieve that 'glammed-up' but effortless look.

I say black because we all have it lying around and come to think of it, its magical 'thinnification' effect is not an unwelcome factor either *wink wink*. Another thing is, it makes it easier for us to pull off the polished with an edge style.

Black is the fashion default - you can never look over-dressed or under-dressed with it on.

So, this was exactly what I did when I went out for a dinner buffet (edit: hello! black is love when you're about to get stuffed with good food) a couple of nights ago.
