Macups

When I decided to come back to Indo, I was still contemplating whether I should continue my path in medicine or deviate. I ended up "staying". Little did I know that choosing this path led me to few bunches that are dear to my heart. They kinda grew on me.

Meet Macups!

They are younger than me (same age as my lil bro) but I don't feel like I was the oldest.. My family in RSHS during my "adaptasi". I thank God that I got to meet these guys since the beginning of my rotation. We became close instantly and dunno how I became one of  Macups.

I became so attached to them unknowingly, my support system!

dyeing my hair red

One day I was browsing thru my instagram feeds when I found this picture of a hair dye. Out of nowhere this idea came up to me to try dyeing my hair (#instagram_is_dangerous as it may lead to countless online shopping). My hair is thin and quite the oily type that I have to wash my hair everyday if I don't want to have a bad hair day. But when I wash and hairdry it too often I will have split ends. Due to the reasons listed above, I have never had my hair dyed. 

So, what made me want to try this product out? 

First of all, it is a temporary hairdye. Second, it is also a hair treatment. Third, it is a Korean product and a friend of mine happened to be in Korea and opened a pre-order.

This was the hair dye / treatment that I used. April Skin Turn-Up Color Treatment (it's the temporary one, since they also have another products called April Skin Turn-Up Color Cream which are the permanent hair dye ones).

 

I am such a sucker for pastel colors (I mean the packaging). Another reason I bought this brand was because of the packaging. And plastic gloves and gown included, too! 

Life safer! 

I found some pictures on the internet showing the result.

I bought the red one, and I didn't apply much. I used like only 1/5 of the tube I think because I just used it for the lower part of my hair. 

This is my normal "never been dyed" hair.

And here is how the color turned out on my unbleached hair. 

Here is some pros and cons.

PROS : 

- They give you plastic gloves and gown.

- The product smells soo good it smells like strawberry (dunno about other color, is it because I bought the red color one?).

- It is indeed a hair treatment because my hair felt softer (tho my hair was always on the smoother side and tend to be oily, the ends are usually drier).

- It claims that the color will only last for about 2 weeks-ish but depends on how often you wash your hair. For me it faded after one week which was good because I can't have red hair for some reason the following week (I washed my hair every other day after I had my hair dyed).

CONS :

- It smudges when your hair is wet, you can't be sweating a lot or wearing white or light colored clothes (solution for this --> wear black).

VERDICT : Good product. I loved it! Should try putting on more dye next time I use it.
