Nothing beats long hair.
March 17, 2009
Nothing.
(Except super long hair, maybe.)
I was browsing through some of the old photos taken last year and they disgusted me. i couldn’t believe i was so blind to put up with my crap hair for such a long time. I know people said oh Ringo (Ring, now) you look awesome with shorter hair fresher younger taller whatever.
SHUT TURF!
Long hair is for ever.
I will never let anyone convince me to cut my hair short again. Ever.
Screw makeovers. I want my hair to be exactly the way i want it to be.
I can’t say i didn’t regret. My hair is no longer shiny ebony and healthy. So much bleach they used. But once you ditch black, you will never go back. It’s color maintenance forever. And it makes your hair worse. It’s a vicious cycle.
I have problem growing it back since last year’s… trauma, and now i had to resort to hair extensions. Luckily they are awesome. I love Tibetan young village girls who are dirt poor who live off yak’s milk and highland potatoes and dunno how to read. See, i’m helping them to live a better life simply by making my hair long.
I’m feeling so charitable. I do extensions every now and then so the poor girls can buy like, books and go to school and learn how to read.
Hair salon in Shanghai.
I was a bit unhappy about them trying to rip me off by half forcing me to choose better products/service etc and they were a bit unhappy about me refusing to be ripped off. But later i was quite happy with the result so i let them off la. We made peace summore.
Anyway after wash+cut+color+whatevertheytriedtoripmeoff = RM150. Which was really quite decent. In KL it’s prolly double the price (can anyone confirm this statement?). So i can’t help but think maybe, salons in KL are much more of a ripoff instead.
Long hair just makes me feel soooooo good. Like seriously good. Even though most of them are not my hair. But they make be feel i belong to them (or they belong to me, whatever). And make me feel complete (although it is weird to think that some poor iliterate Tibetan village girl who smells of yak’s milk completes me).
Hair extension. This time around i did wavy extensions because i have wavy hair now.
The lady putting blonde streaks into my head so i don’t have to dye my own hair. I thank the Tibetan poor village girl.
This is Shanghai in February. Like, 27°C. Then the next day 8°C what turf. Well. It’s China. Anything is possible.
Ok this is before blonde streaks.
Shanghai is awesome. I <3 Shanghai.
This is with blonde streaks.
If you have layered hair and is at least shoulder length, then your extension should look super natural, especially after you perm it. Advice is to do your extension first then go for your hair cut/color/perm.
It will look like your own hair. You have some part of a poor Tibetan village girl in you.
Tong
Even though extensions are permed before, your hair will look better if you tong it of course.
I’m very noob in this!
I think i can do better but this is how you tong it in parts.
Done. To make the curls stay, secure it with hair spray.
That’s all for hair lesson today. Will do more after i improve. i can’t even convince myself. What else do you want me to blog about? I am still taking in requests.
Lol you taking requests
sounds nice, but i have no request
anyway
hair,hair,hair…
short hair for women is modern… fuck that…
what about it being modern? it should look good not modern…
see even a fashionable girl agrees with me
long hair = win, short hair = loooooooooooooooooose (for girls)
even i had long hair before :O (i am no girl)
but i cut it
and there exist only one picture of me with long hair
now i have middle short long hair….
warao, you are here like, 24/7. anyway i dunno why your comment keeps going into moderation. need to do something about it.
yes i am here pretty often
why not?
i like what you write
and i get into funny conversations here
i started reading chrisos blog now too
Thank you
you are welcome
i know the reason why even with my eyes closed and my hands tied back while wearing a chastity belt
I know the reason now too after it happend on your blog too >_>
the system “blocks” “spammers” and it considers me as a really bad spammer so it brings them into moderation first (at least thats the guess i have)
Ringo,
As long as you love your hair keep it long. Personally you look great with any hair length.
BTW, the white shorts and print leggings are just HOT, or is just you being HOT?
David
eh, i just love you blogging about your daily life… maybe you could give us some tips on wardrobe and fashion… i love to know where did you get your fashion sense or how do you pair outfits..
thank you cindy, would take that into consideration!
Ringo?
who’s that?
I dunno,haha!Neh,the word on the board in pic 9 and 10. :p
oooh, that. lol. thats before the O cheesappeared.
emm…
whatabout blog about
a day in ring? or izzit a ring’s day?…
wa i bet you dowan to read that. i give you another chance to suggest again.
nice post =) Your hair is gorgeous..btw, you can blog about your everyday outfits..
haha ok, will think bout it!
Ooooo you complete me. ooo ooo ooo wtf.
which part? =P
nice wavy hair:)….u know what i have the same problem too.. problem growing back my hair since last year:(…it’s as if like it stopped growing..hahah
yea!!! and the ends keeps getting dry so u have to snip it off, and it becomes shorter and shorter!
do you have any idea..besides hair extension..:)…maybe i should cut it really short or change the hair style…
Yessss I am loving my extensions also, never want to take them off!!
i really didnt know u had extensions on. so natural!!
blog about ur hair trauma. i had mine and did a post on it. so now it’s ur turn =Þ
p/s: i still am having trouble growing back my long hair as well =`(
eh this post is rather hair trauma!
we haven’t discover what made your hair so difficult to grow back. cuz of the act of chopping them off earlier on? or some sucky hairdresser ruined the roots with cheapo chemicals?
you only THINK they are young girl’s hair. there are so many monks in Tibet, so where are the hair?… think about it.
lolol i didnt know there are so many Bo Bice looking monks who suddenly decide to chop off their long mane!!!
you think they have blades in tibet?
they wait till the hair saloon’s reps arrive once every 10 years!
I always wonder, what happened to the extension that after you took them off?
thrown away!
just wondering can you still wash, blow and dry lik usual.. or original hair??
can, doesnt really affect any normal routine in fact.
I also think long hair is great. But then many women cut their hair short when they are pregnant…
why ah. very hot is it. lol
What to blog about? I like to look at your photos and of course… coupled them with your wry sense of humor. Btw, you look gorgeous in these pics!
cheers!
Thank you!
wa, after your hair was done did u feel like ..holy or what, i see halo rings above your head lol.
Yea. Lots of the Rings.
Well, it won’t smell like yak milk anymore after you use your shampoo on it.
It’ll smell just like your hair.
i guess so!!! i dunno, i dont smell my hair!
I guess it is true that once we have colored the hair, it is hard to keep that. Hardly keep the half colour look. Well, the hair extension is awesome and you look so much like an artist in those pictures. Ok. I mean every pictures since I first reading your blog. Haha..
Keep it up.. ;D
P/s: I wonder do they smell like cheese?
Haha curry. Does your hair smell like curry? Or Egg?
I always hesitate to do hair extensions. Won’t there be like little knots in your hair? Like, it doesn’t feel natural?
How long do hair extensions last?
Anyway I am going to explore using contacts lens you mentioned in your last post.
it will last forever (the one i did la). but i heard some extensions done here got really messed up and then took them off just a few days later.
if you do clip-on it would be quite uncomfortable. But weave-in one is perfect. In fact it is very nice to play with the little braids when i got nothing to do. :/
I want to keep long hair tooo!!! -__-
like Yat is it!
dont you feel your head heavy ? =o its like so much hair extension!
not at all! just feels like own hair.
I <3<3<3 long hair too! but I hate it when my fringe grows too long, then my hair gets super flat. Curls are pretty! but I know I can’t perm my hair coz I’m too lazy to even always blowdry my hair, much less curl it.
Going to cut my hair soon, and u nkow what, i feel like cutting your fringe lo! Revert back to my kindy haircut hahahahah
eh curls are easier to manage than straight hair sometimes. Go go go cut fringe. fringe is best!
…………………………….
…………..original……….
nothing beats/\long hair
………………/…\………..
…………………………….
haha!! whats that supposed to be!!!
request: step by step on how to use curling iron to curl your hair! =D i love your posts!!!
walao! i reckon im still super noob! yesterday went for a shoot, and the stylist was soooooooooooo pro!!!!!!!! SO PRO!!! ARGH i need to learn first!!!!!!
omg you should blog about hott, sexy men. or funny stories! or funny stories about hott sexy men encounters! but then again, all your blogs have that touch of cheezie hilarity LOL
btw i LOVE the blonde in your hair! it makes you look really alive and vibrant!
if i meet any hot, sexy men u think i havent blogged about them meh!!!
Thanks lola. Are you american!
yes i’m american hence the flag
californian to be exact 
!
I think i’ve told you this, but in this book One Fifth Avenue there’s this modelly girl called Lola, very pretty!
If you think the possibility of Monks’ hair being used in your extensions is bad then how about straightened pubic hair from Brazilianly waxed women? Haha j/k but still….what if…*stops thinking bout it before vomit erupts*
wahahha you are so sick
How do they actually do the extension? Just curious…
I wonder if they
1. CTRL-A, cut & paste
or
2. Cut & paste for 100000000000000000000000000000000 times
Haha~~ pardon me for not knowing girly stuff~ oshiete kudasai
They need to <–Backspace all your old extensions first.
CTRL-A then Backspace~?!
Nothing beats long hair except two Christmases in one year…
NOW YOU OWE DAVID. Nothing to with me anymore! WAHHAHAHAH
Tehhe here”s mz promised comment from poland.
Sorrz but I didn’t have the time to read the whole post… but…

Omg for a moment i tot SIngapore got upside down. Have fun sweetheart. Oh btw im not used to you Polish talk lolol.
Seriously, you really look like A*mei. The resemblance is uncanny!!
i should learn singing then
go and try la, your harmonizing skills are ftw
Haha ya! Maybe it’s the mole. But A*mei has a really exotic and hot look like you
I miss my long hair T_T I had long hair that almost reached my waist.
but the reason why I had to cut it was because I grew too fat to look good with long hair =_=
it’s an incentive to lose all that weight I guess. that failed so far.
also, i agree with someone else who commented, maybe u can blog about your dressing style next?
I’ve always admired your taste! and I could use a few tips as well, my mum’s been stressing how much I don’t dress nicely.. not because I don’t want to, I just don’t know how. geh.
Aww. everyone can look good in long hair!
Read more mags lo, and depends on what kinda style you like, mine not necessary your cup of tea though. 
I have the same dress as your grey color that 1, mine is in dark green color, but i like yours more! lol..anyway, nice hair extension! I like it! Is anywhere in KL got such a cheap price for hair extension?.. hmm..
Haha!! The dress is like soooooooooooooo incredibly cheap. KL i dunno. all quite ex i think
Ya! Its only rm25 in sungei wang! haha..the quality not bad somemore..^^
yerrr…so jealous of ur hair~
why la. lol
i bought mine in BTS!!!
haha sorry to ask. What is BTS stand for? ooppss
Ooo! Nice! Yea, it will cost double if you do all of those in KL salons, or more. Btw, does hair extensions make it hard to wash your hair? Like you have to be extra careful when scratching so you don’t accidentally tear them off?
oi Jolin! i couldn’t agree more than this!! NOTHING BEATS LONG HAIRRR!!! i’m suffering with this length. )))’:
yeah that’s why you can’t do pony tails, remember?
call me a traditionalist, but i love women with long hair!
Jolin wtf. wait until u see my next advert. =P
Lol Cheesie doesn’t look like Jolin! I think it’s only the lips and hair and nails and yadda cheesiedoesntlikejolinanywaybutidunnoifshelikespeopletosayshelookslikeher!, but definitely not the eyes and nose.
You have a different type of beauty though. More of ayumi style. Haha.
I really like your figure and leopard print stuff!
And your blog is so similar to fourfeetnine haha.
u have a face like “Yan Hung” in “ga hou yue yun”. everytime i watched this drama, she reminds me of you, ha…
michelle yim?!?!??!
150 ringgit is CHEAP !!!
Just colouring alone for your hair length cost more than 100.
Wish i live there so i could colour my hair as i like
ya lo! or can DIY la, like RM30 only
RM150 ??
I shall save the time and money and go Shanghai to do *LOL*
haha air tic ex leh
hah! i love long hair too;
(though i have a little urge to cut it up to my shoulder; its now ard my butt area; (:)
i think i feel more.. secure with long hair let down on my body; (:
(though it can be quite troublesome & warm with it;)
walaoooooooo so loooooooooooong
heh yea i love the warm feeling of my hair over my shoulder in a cold room
You don’t have to keep harping on the poor Tibetian gal. It sounds so cruel
*R*
talk about your nail arts! >.<
wa i think i did, very religiously awhile ago!!
yolook nice in long hair, i want to have it too but difficult to maintain…
will get used to it one!
Hi Ringo..
Really like your hair extension very much.. For me, your post is really a life saviour.. I am getting married next month, and one week before that i will be in Shanghai! It’s true what you say, once your hair is cut short, it takes donkey years to grow!
Do you mind if you give me the contact of the hair salon you went to in Shanghai?
Oh yeah, can you tell me more about your hair extension… I know you mention that it feels nature, but how about taking care of it and everything?
Thanks. Really love your hairdo..
hey hey! i wont recomment you to go to that salon because they very pushy with their products. there’re cheap salons everywhere.
as for the taking care, basically, just dont comb too hard, and avoid combing the roots, that’s it. wash and style and dry as usual.
What about the second salon you went? was it good?? the one you did your wavy hair one… i like the wavy hair.. you look superb great in that!
The other thing i want to ask is that, you say weave in is better than the clip on.. I do not know how to speak mandarin.. is it hard to explain to them?
2 more days to shanghai! i am so so so excited…
that one is not a salon, just one of the shops in Qi Pu road shopping mall. Every shop is about the same. I went to the first one. Just tell them you want “pian de” instead of “kou de”.
Good luck!
Thank you SO SO SO MUCHIE… <3
you’re always welcome!!!
Hi..
Sorry i keep bugging… Just want to check with you, how much is it per strand? and how many strand is needed to do the hair?
Thanks
Hi Cheesie,
With regards to your hair, I am sure it will grow back. You hair looks really nice now, although I do miss the long black hair that you used to have.
Honestly, I prefer your blog over Xiaxue and Dawn Yang. Have fun in Japan, and have a wonderful weekend
love your editing skills. those pic are hot!! any tips? hehe
gambatte!
Hey, erm big fan of your blog!!
I have a request..
Would you mind blogging about manicures, fake nails and how to diy them with studs and crystals?
You know, step by step intro?
It’s so interesting to see you showcasing your nails every now and then but I’m really interested to see the process of designing one!!
I would loooouurrrvvveee to see that post!!
=)
Okay will consider that!! Thank your for commenting!!
after all the bleaching, perming and colouring, your hair still survive!! what products you use??
Hmm..does your hair still smell goaty??it can’t be right??
It reminds me of those indian smells =.=
HOw you put on your contact lenses with long nails?
I tried with it and got my contact lenses scratched man!! have to trim it on and off
use your finger tip instead if nails. very tricky but it works. must practice lo.
Oh my god…I scare my finger nails tercucuk my eyes man!! so i use finger nails!!
