Event: Launch of Loretta and Hair Styling Demonstration with Mr Suzuki Youhei

Sometime before Christmas, I had a hair makeover at the newly opened Isetan @ West Gate. At the makeover session displayed the newly launched Loretta products, a professional hairstyling range crafted by the famed Molto Bene from Japan and features a range of styling wax, styling milk, hair sprays and more.

Here are the range of products brought into Singapore from Loretta Japan. Loretta products are widely used at Japan salons.

Some of the products are awarded @cosme award! Let's take a look at all of the products~ ^_~

Loretta Make Up Wax 4.0 (Red jar)

Loretta Make Up Wax 6.5 (Black jar)

Loretta Hairstyling Demonstration @ Istean West Gate

After introducing the products, let's now take a look at the products that Mr Suzuki Youhei used on my hair and how he styled it! ^_^

Lucky for me, I had a hairstyle that I can follow! Out of the few hairstyles, I picked this one because first, it's kinda my style... and second, I have almost exactly same hair colour as the model.. Lolx~

Here's Mr Suzuki and my stone face. (hahax...^_^") Firstly, he applied the Base Care Oil on my hair ends to make it less frizzy looking.

Then he blew dry it and started to curl them.

After the curl is done, he used the Make Up Milk Glamorous to hold the curls. (He did not use the Wave Gelee on me, but he did use it on +everblue c's hair! ^_^) Next he tied my curls up, styled it a little and added a white lacey hair accessory. How cute is this?! I totally love the side and back view of my hair... (♥▽♥)

Lastly, a photo with Mr Suzuki~

Mr Suzuki Youhei is from Loretta Japan. He is well-experienced and knowledgeable in Asian Girls' hair need and hair trends. He has had almost 10 years of experiences working in the top hair salons in Japan Day-by-Day, On-the-Go. Mr Suzuki is now taking position as Molto Bene's Global Business Designated Instructor, sharing and teaching hair techniques and trends in Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Korea and this time Singapore.

Just a note... I wore this hair-do from afternoon until midnight and my curls hold up for the whole day, even until the time when I got home and pulled off the band... the curls are still there~  Most importantly, my hair was not oily at all. ^_^
