Hairstyling at Kenjo Salon on 24 June 2016

I can't help but sing praises of my hair sponsor, Kenjo Hair Salon, for alway being there for me whenever I need any hair services.  I remembered I texted Joseph the hair salon owner just one day before 24 June 2016 and asked if I could drop by for a hair treatment as I would be attended a Hand Over Ball organised by Entrepreneur Organisation.

When i reached Kenjo Hair Salon that day, Joseph surprised me by saying he had arranged a hairstylist who is very experienced in hair styling to style my hair.... Yippee!

As I didn't have much time that day, I did a one step Mucota hair treatment instead of the usual 3 steps.  But I think it was already great enough to keep my hair soft and silky.

Always starting off with a hair wash

Followed by shampooing before rinsing away the shampoo.

 After applying Mucota hair treatment product onto my hair, the hair was steamed for the nutrients to be absorbed into the hair shafts.

Under the steamer for about 10 mins.

 After another run of rinsing, my wet hair was blown dried for the hair styling.

Feeling so blessed that I have two person working on my hair

The hair assistant was super cute... She did a victory hand sign for me to take a photo

Hair about to be ready

 I was trying to capture James, the hair stylist, in action.

My hair blocked him...sigh

 ok, I managed to capture a photo of James.  I must say, Kenjo Salon is made up of good looking hairstylists.  My usual assigned hair stylist, Soo Bin, was on leave together hence she couldn't work on my hair styling.  Soo Bin is a gorgeous Korean hairstylist and the first time I met her, I was like 'WOW... so pretty!

As Soo Bin was on leave that day, Joseph arranged for James to take over instead and oh my god... James is a good looker indeed.  He told me that he started to take up courses on hair cutting, hair styling and everything that is related to hair since age of 18 due to his interest.  Since young, he had to take care of his younger sister and he would tie her hair up nicely and he enjoyed that too.  That was why he decided to go into this trade.

 After discussion with James on the hairstyle that I preferred for that evening, we realised that both of us were thinking of going for plaits to channel a more carefree simple style instead of something over the top type of hairstyling.

And the braiding began

James' hands are indeed nimble... I can't do this well at all

Let's take a look at the final result... Do you like it as much as I do?

James designed this hair style with three different braids.

I definitely can't do this hairstyle on my own

Volume Hair Rebonding with C Curls via Mucota Argan Oil Treatment at Kenjo Salon on 14 April 2016

Volume Hair Rebonding with C Curls via Mucota Argan Oil Treatment

I am always very well taken care of by Joseph, the owner of Kenjo Salon and my trusty hairstylist, Soo Bin, whenever I drop by the salon for the most awesome hair services.  All i needed to do was to drop Joseph a text and he will arrange for everything, so that I can always look my best whenever I attend media events.  Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!

For this visit, I wanted to do volume hair rebonding with C curls and Joseph recommended using Mucota Argan oil treatment to achieve the effect i want, yet leaving the hair soft and manageable.

Advantages of Mucota Argan Oil Treatment

• Reduce frizzy hair
• Prevent further har damage
• Make hair shinier
• Prevent split ends of the hair
• Last 6 months and above
• 100% no formaldehyde

Of course the first step was to wash the hair clean of dirt and hair oil before we started the hair rebonding process.

The cute hair assistant helped to prep my hair for the treatment.

 Mucota Creates New Standards of Creative, New Possibilities of Design

Dyna, the argan oil treatment, has created the solutions to all hair problems by bringing hair treatment to the next level while incorporating hair design.

Argan Oil

This hair treatment uses organ oil, which is world's most expensive plant oil.  This oil is produced from the kernels of the organ tree, which is extremely well adapted to drought and other environmentally difficult conditions of southwestern Morocco.  It is the most expensive plant oil on earth because only 1 litre of oil can be abstracted from 100kg of organ-tree's berries.

This oil is also anti-aging oil and it is said that Cleopatra loved it.  It defends women's skin and hair from the strong sunshine in Morocco.

Mucota 3 Step Process

Follow my photos to take a look at how volume rebonding with C curls was achieved.

Once the hair was dried, Soo Bin and her hair assistant proceeded to use hair rollers to curl the ends of my hair.

After a specific timing, the hair rollers were removed.

Afterwhich, another solution was applied to my hair to set it.

After another specific time, the solution was washed off from my hair and it was time to blow dry my hair and see the final results.

Cant wait to see the final results!

 Benefits of Argan Oil for Hair

Organ oil has many benefits but one of the best way to use it is for hair care.  It can be used on hair problems such as dry hair, rough hair, dull hair lacking shine and frizzy hair.  Its effectiveness for repairing damaged hair has even surpassed jojoba oil and olive oil.

• Rich in vitamin E which restore life to limp hair
• Contains unsaturated fatty acids like Omega 3 and 6 that provides nutrition to the hair
• Contains linoleum acid and oleic which helps to hydrate and moisturize hair
• unlike other hair, organ is non-greasy and non-oily
• keeps coloured hair more lasting and prevent dryness
• Easily absorbed by the hair, restore hair's lost moisture
• Act as a shield for harmful UV rays and protects hair from environmental pollution
• Stop curliness and roughness
• Enhance the elasticity of the hair
• Improving strength of hair and healing the split ends of hair 

Volume Hair Rebonding with C Curls Done!
