Hair Flower FOTD

Here are some pics of my 'ol mug...rockin' the hair flowers Ms. Neeyuh made for me ;)
Thank you again sweetie!

I got my hair permed today. Instead of the regular method where they just saturate your hair in chemicals (I forget what it's called), they saturate your hair, rinse it off with water, then blow hot ionized air at your head for 30 minutes...it's called 'air wave' and it's really popular in Japan because it lasts longer then the regular perm, and the curl doesn't stretch after you blow-dry your hair.

Enough talk...here ya go.







My hair before....taken in January-ish.

And after....

Brown Smoke!

When I'm in a rush, or I can't think up of a good color combo to wear for the day, I resort to my favorite eye shadow colors...taupes, golds and browns! Here are two different looks...enjoy!
Also, these are the most recent pics of my huurr 'do.

Look 1

Look 2

The 'do that changed it all...

One morning after work my compulsive-ass decided to get my hair straightened again. If you guys have unmanageable straight-wavy hair like mine, Japanese thermal straightening is the way to go...if you want straight hair. And after the process was done, I decided I wanted more hair chopped off. BAD IDEA...the length and style was fine as it was, but after it was straightened, it looked too long. And at the time it SEEMED like a good idea to cut some length off in the back and add layers. Below is what my hair looked like for a few days before I got the long pieces in the front cut shorter...now my hair looks a LOT better, and I'm starting to like it.

On a happier note, my hair is so much easier to style in the mornings and it doesn't take 30 minutes to dry like it did before when I had rapunzel-locks. I'll post more pictures of my recent 'do. I just wanted to do this post so you guys can get a good idea of how my hair went from angled bob to a very short angled bob.

Ugh.
Double Ugh.
Aya is not happy now...
F**K it, Imma cut some more off!

New 'Do

My hair turned out a tad bit darker than I wanted it to be, but I still like it! I also got angled layers in the front, and had a lot of hair shredded (I don't know the correct term for this LOL), and now I have a lot less hair, but the length is the same...I am horrible at explaining things in plain English, hahahahahaha! (okay, not so funny, me tiiiired!)

I also bought a cute yellow sweater from Zara for 2990 yen. I love yellow, but never had the cajones to wear it. I matched my makeup to my sweater today. I have a feeling this look was a little too wild for work, but screw work! J/K. :)

*~*New 'Do*~*

Makeup used for today's EOTD:

- Urban Decay Primer Potion
- Urban Decay e/s in Honey
- M.A.C e/s in Woodwinked
- M.A.C e/s in Ricepaper
- Kate Liquid eyeliner
- Maybelline Volum' Express Mascara

How To:

1. Apply UDPP from lashine to brow...I am a newbie to this product, and I am in LOOOOVE! My e/s lasted AAAALLLL day and barely creased!

2. Apply UD e/s in Honey (lemon gold) from lashine, extend past crease.

3. Apply M.A.C e/s in Woodwinked (golden brown w/reddish undertones) from middle of lid towards outer corners. Take a dense crease brush and define outer V in same color. I did NOT define or outline contour today.

4. With a clean e/s brush blend between two colors with light motions...blend from light to dark!

5. Add more color to make eyes pop! And don't forget to blend! Blend out harsh lines with a tapered blending brush.

6. Apply M.A.C e/s in Ricepaper under brow to highlight.

7. Apply liner and mascara.

Whaddya think?


My contacts are glued to my eyeballs...Nitey nite everyone!

Getting my hair did tomorrow!

So my hairstylist at TNB (Triple Napalm Bomb) finally has a less-busy schedule tomorrow so I'm getting a much-needed dye job and maybe a haircut too. I got a haircut last week at this cute salon near my house, but the stylists at TNB know my hair better, and they are the BOMB! Japanese hairstylists don't really know how to highlight hair, but the guy who owns TNB knows his sh*t! He works quickly, and my highlights always turn out pretty...not brassy/yellow at all. I think I'm gonna change my hair color completely though...I'm gettin' sick of highlights...they really wreck your hair, and after 3 months, no matter how well you take care of your hair, the bleached parts will always turn slightly yellow and straw-like...(well, that's if you have black hair like moi). Soooooo I was thinking of going for a rich chocolate brown all over....keep it simple...I can always go light again during the summer :)

The salon is located in Shibuya...near the infamous intersection where they filmed the introduction of Lost In Translation. I need to NOT spend money while I'm down there...God help me...Actually I don't need too much help, I'm running low on spending funds. I might pick up a few cheap-o eyeshadows since they have bigger drugstores downtown. We'll see.

Here's my virgin hair..taken May or June of '07...didn't really care since BF was deployed, no one to look cute for, LOL.


Here's what my hair looked like in December when I didn't have massive roots...sorry these photos suck, I don't think I have better ones where you can see my hair.
