Loreal Professionel Korean City Style --- Gangnam Hairstyle!

If you'd ask me if I prefer straight hair or curly hair, I'd say curly. For someone who has super thin hair like me, curls is my way of tricking people to make my hair look thicker. Moreover, I have an oval shaped face and a wide forehead, thus curly hair somehow hides that imperfection. 

The ever gorgeous bebe doll who definitely looked like a doll after her makeover session!

However for the past years that I have been getting my usual perm fix, I usually go to cheap parlors where they treat my hair with that strong smelling chemicals and pink curlers (girls I know you get the picture) so I could save money. However, the big consequence I face after is dealing with super tiny curls and really damaged  hair cause of the harsh treatment.

With the advent of the KPOP trend, I got really curious on how I can get that soft and big curls that Korean popstars have. Good thing Loreal Professionel has launched 3 hairstyles that show edgy, luscious curls while maintaining the hair's health and shine. Those are Busan, Gangnam & Hong Dae Style.

BUSAN STYLE (P2,800) - Artsy, romantic, bohemian vibe bubble perm look inpired by the artistic city of Busan

GANGNAM STYLE (P8,000) - glamour chic see through perm look that easily blends into the richest district in Seoul

HONG DAE STYLE (P2,800) - youthful, cute perm inspired by the trendy and funky babe of Hong Dae

Since I have long hair, I got the Gangnam Style. Of course, as to all other salon treatments, it all started with a nice shampoo (say hello to ate!) and a great layered cut by my stylist, Rey (who is based in Makati and Malate branch).

Goodies from baker street. Yummy cupcakes!

Hello Catch and Mikki!

After shampooing and trimming, the product was applied to my hair and was left for about 20 minutes.

Then my hair was curled using this weird looking gadget. :p

Shampooed then meticoulusly blow-dried to perfection

But wait! After the whole process, our looks were completed with a makeover from MAYBELLINE!

However the perming process does not end there, to consistently achieve the Korean look, here are some of the tips using  L’Oreal Professionnel products:

1. Towel dry hair and blow-dry it with an application of both Mythic Oil and Tecni.art full Volume Mousse to build up the foundation of bouncier looking curls.
2. To provide extra hold for shorter hair, apply Tecni.art Playball Density Material for the idea Busan and Hong Dae Style.
3. For the Gangnam style, add extra hold by spritzing Elnett Spray to lift and hold longer length hair.
4. Finish off the three Korean City Style looks with a pump of Tecni.art Crystal Gloss for added shine.

After 3 days, here is how my perm looks like (without blow dry, just normal air drying and Loreal Tecni.Art Mousse:

Soft, big and relaxed curls! Love it :)
