I have a brand new hair! Woohoo!!! And it was done by my favorite Korean salon in Singapore, Apgujeong Hair Studio! And I would like to thank Apgujeong Hair Studio team for inviting me over to have hair make over and making me looking gorgeous & lovely for my New York trip next month! Truly feeling blessed with everything! :)
Naturally I wasn't blessed with beautiful hair, my natural hair was thin, dry, wavy and frizzy! It has never been beautiful naturally before like what I had always dreamed of, thick, shiny and soft! So since I was 18 years old, I have been doing hair rebonding almost every year to tame my frizzy wavy hair and to make it more manageable! On top of that, I colored my hair at least twice a year too, that's very bad right? For wanting to be stylish and trendy, I have a price to pay which is super damaged hair!
I was always told to do hair treatment regularly after having my hair permed or colored but even though I did, the result wouldn't last long due to the strong chemicals used on my hair in the past and it had already caused a long term damage. I think if my hair could scream, it would scream "help me please!"
"Before"
Thanks to Apgujeong Hair Studio, my hair is healthy now! Guess what I did to repair my hair and to make it more manageable, soft, thick and bouncy? It's the new Mucota Omega Volume Rebonding with strong C-curls! Mucota is the latest trend of hair treatment that has gained huge popularity in Korea and it's the best hair treatment for damaged hair while doing rebonding or perming and if you have hair like mine, as you can see in the 'before' picture, very dry, stiff and damaged, I would recommend you to take Mucota Omega Volume Rebonding or Perming because the chemical products used are very mild and also the rebonding or perming process has combined together with Mucota treatment which resulting in healthy beautiful bouncy hair!
The senior Korean hair stylist at Apgujeong Hair Studio assigned to transform my hair, Ann, did a wonderful job! The transformation was amazing and I felt very happy & satisfied with my brand new hair! I felt like I was reborn! Detailed & honesty were my first impression on Ann. Joy & satisfaction were my second impression!
Ann is a very skilled senior hair stylist at Apgujeong Hair Studio. What I like about her is she's very detailed and honest about the style that suits me according to my facial features rather than following the latest Korean trend which I really appreciate her honest opinion so much! I have habit of crossing my legs when I sit down and Ann told me not to do that & asked me to sit straight so my shoulders would be straight and she could do nice & detailed hair cutting on me. She analyzed and carefully cut my hair! To be honest, it's hard to find such a detailed hair stylist in cutting hair but Ann is very professional in her profession which makes me comfortable and wanting to come back to her to make my hair beautiful in the future!
Ann also told me that with my short forehead, it's best to keep my fringe long. Forget about the latest trend, Korean see-through bang, it isn't suitable for everybody. If it looks good on others, it may not look good on me, so it's best to stick to my own style! And if I think again, she's right! From what I see from my own shameless selfie pic :p I look so much better with no fringe rather than whatever latest trend, see-through bang etc. I can't explain why but it's the feeling! Hahaa..
To make me look fresh and young, Ann also cut my hair (of course cut my damaged hair away too, yay!) to below-shoulder length which I super duper love! It's my favorite length, not too long but not too short, yet making me look fresh and young! Hooray!! Besides, Ann also suggested me to go for strong yet natural C-curls with the combination of inward and outward C-curls that will bring the sweet and feminine side of mine! Bravo!!
And so the 3.5 hour process started! I would say it depends on your hair type, the process could take longer than 3.5 hours if you have never done any rebonding or perming before. Since my hair was seriously damaged, for each process, the waiting time was only 10-15 minutes. Ann took her professionalism very well in transforming my hair :) she cared my hair condition more than anything else!
Before the first step of volume rebonding, Ann applied leave on hair treatment for 10 minutes and rinsed it off, it was like pre-rebonding process, preparing my hair, so it won't get damaged. Ann also mixed Mucota treatment into my volume rebonding process, so my hair condition would stay as healthy as possible. For my first process, the relaxant or cream softener, the waiting time was only 10 minutes before rinsing it off because my hair was very dry and damaged.

And the process started!
Feeling super excited!
Ann straigtened my wavy hair
and applied the 1st step which was cream softener
and then waiting...
Rinsed off and blow-dried
The next step was my favorite! It was the hair curling! I think I look kinda cute with lots of curlers on my head hahaa. Next, neutralizer to restructure my hair and make it nice C-curls I wanted and the process wasn't long too, about 10-15 minutes before rising off due to my hair condition. Every process of Mucota Omega Volume Rebonding included the application of Mucota treatment products to make sure my hair wasn't damaged further and to reverse the damage and to turn it into brand new soft & bouncy natural C-curl hair :)

After rinsing off, the process of omega volume rebonding was pretty much done and the next step was hair treatment as you can see, the cute syringe filled with hair treatment goodness! Nice!

Ann also recommended me to use Mucota Aire, non rinse out type hair treatment, veil for straight 10 to prevent my hair from damage like heat of a dryer and UV rays. This treatment is suitable for me who would really love to have smooth and silky finish and to keep my hair moisturized. I'm using Mucota Aire treatment on regular basis after I wash my hair, apply it on my damp hair and dry my hair using hairdryer by twisting my hair using my fingers. As result, my curls are as beautiful and as bouncy as ever! Would really recommend this treatment if you have any rebonding or perming done and you want to maintain beautiful & healthy hair :)
and it was all done in 3.5 hours time! Nice!
Overall, I was very happy and satisfied with my hair, done by Ann from Apgujeong Hair Studio at Tampines One branch and I will come back to Ann for my hair transformation again :)
My hair was so nice! Soft, thick and natural looking! Super love it!
