During this time, he would often come down to the Malaysian branch to cater to more customers. He noticed that Malaysian women disliked S-Curls and C-Curls, because they thought that it was a look for older women. However, after much exposure to trendy Korean and Japanese cultures, S-Curls and C-Curls are the in thing right now. Apart from that, many Malaysian women are now dyeing their hair. Famous colours include Ash Metal Green and Copper Violet. The slight problem with this, is that their hair needs to be bleached at least two times. And this brings us to hair care. To ensure that your hair remains healthy, you’ll have to take care of it before you bleach it. Using natural products, like those from Aveda, is a great way to do so. Aveda products are 98% natural, and does less damage to your hair and body. In case you’re wondering, Aveda is a high-end product that’s carried only by a handful of high-end salons in Malaysia. The company behind Aveda actually looks into the background of a salon before allowing their products to be sold by these salons. Apart from coming in for a trim every month or so, Min also said that it’s highly important to read up on home care methods, i.e., how to apply protective lotion to your hair before using a roller/iron.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”15008″ img_size=”large” css=”.vc_custom_1475851474329{margin-top: -50px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1475851241305{margin-top: -50px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”14843″ img_size=”medium”][vc_column_text]
