Dip Dye at Salon Vim

Hello! I'm finally doing up a post on the dip-dye I did at Salon Vim about 2 weeks ago! :)

I loved the result & especially how they took so much care of my hair to help it stay healthy despite the bleaching (especially at the bottom).

Random picture I found of me with my old hair as a sort of "Before" picture!

I think this is the stillshot captured when I did my Poetree video!

So anyway it was my first time down at Salon Vim, which is conveniently located in town!

313 @ Somerset Orchard Road #04-07/08/09

I was assigned one specific hairstylist to do all my future hair appointments with, so that she can learn about my hair type & likes specifically to cater more to my needs (or my hair's needs rather).

They literally have an appointment card with your hair type, length... etc.

The above is a chart showing the different products that Salon Vim uses from L'Oreal Professional & they have so many... O.O products for all kinds of hair types, hair treatments, hair services done...

It was my fair time getting a hair treatment done too! 

I didn't really know what was going on & left them to it.

Here are the L'Oreal Professional products they used for me:

They're specially selected based on what I was doing that day!

(Touch-up of roots & bleaching of the bottom to get the dip-dye effect)

They used #2 of the top (pink) row, which is a range for coloured hair!

#2 is for locking in the hair colour after dyeing.

I think the bulk of the rest that they used for my treatment is from the 2nd row, orange-coloured!

It's all about restoring the hair & making it healthy again despite the stuff done to it!

They applied the stuff & used this machine below:

O.O

Never seen this machine before. It's kind of like a steamer!

They repeated the process a few times: apply, steam, apply, steam

No wonder my hair came out looking so nice at the end of the visit!

They also gave me some take-home L'Oreal Professional products to help improve my hair's condition.

Shampoo from the Vitamino (for coloured hair) range & hair mask from Force Vector (hair fall)!

Vitamino Colour Shampoo

Force Vector Masque 

(not Mask meh?)

(my spell-check didn't underline it)

(I'll go check the spell-check dictionary)

(wtf it's an alternative spelling? Since when?)

(it's the equivalent of "mask" in French anyway)

Ok anyway... Done with my hair!

Asked them to blow-dry it with curls :D

My hair has a few streaks here & there of the same colour as the bottom!

My stylist suggested it & I think the highlights are a great idea! Maybe I'll get more :D

This is my stylist, Stephanie!

You can look for her if you go down to the salon!

(but try to make an appointment first)

Went home & took loads of photos because my hair was so nice that day!

I have more (LOL) so here's just a few...

I loosened the curls a little after dinner at 313!

My hair was so soft & nice! 

On normal days it is NEVER like this O.O

I have been lazy with using the hair mask/masque & shampoo...

Still using up my old bottle! But I wanna do more colours with the dip-dyed bottom so I'm going to have to start with the products they passed me! My contingency plan is to chop it all off, that's why I picked dip-dye in the first place haha. And I didn't want to bleach the top because it'll hurt my scalp!

Salon Vim did a really good job with my hair though, happy! :D
