Korean Drama Hair in 5 Minutes Less

 

I have been practicing, learning, and doing a lot of people's hair for a decade!  I find it more difficult to style my own hair because....self explanatory!

With the pandemic, I've got more time to practice and I've unlocked a lot of hairstyles whether simple or complicated ones.  I believe that learning never ceases.  

So today, I am sharing Korean Drama hair!  The style that seems "undone" but very pretty!  Like how could Korean actresses get perfect hair on a scene they just woke up?

Here's a simple look inspired by Korean Drama.  If there's no makeup makeup look, I call this a No Hairstyle Hairstyle!

Tada!  Seems like this is my normal hair look right?  Nah!  My hair is stick straight with a lot of frizz in between!

You only need a a 1.5 inch curling iron (I used Remington) and only need to section your hair into 4!  (Depending on how thick your hair is!).  Imagine, I was able to do this hairstyle in 5 minutes less!

If you want your hairstyle to stay longer, use a heat protectant mist for curl like that from Fuwarie and finish off the look with another spritz or light hairspray!

Natural Curls with Flat Iron

 

I love curling my hair!  It is an instant mood booster for me so even while staying home, there are days I’d wake up not feeling so good I’d grab my flat iron and start curling my hair and a slow smile is starting to be seen on my lips!  #TrueStory

I mostly use my flat iron to straighten my hair and maybe create a nice curve at the ends of my hair (C-Curling).  For this particular look, I’ve done another easy method to create messy yet lovely curls!

Of course, in every tutorial, I’d add a tip or 2!  Keep in mind the blazer plays a huge part in hairstyling, it protects my body from the heat and possible accidents!  

Here’s a short video on how I managed to do this look!  It is easy! I. Promise you,  I did this look in 10 minutes less!

I hope you learn something from me!

Have a wonderful Day!

Hairstyle Tutorial: Big Curls (Korean Hairstyle)

I follow a lot of Korean Hairstylists in IG and wished to have them cut my hair because I love their trending hairstyle. 

I studied haircutting and learned a few tricks on hairstyling during my younger years and when I was actively doing Bridal.  Equipped with that knowledge, I've decided to experiement my own hair with different hairstyles because I am a Beauty Blogger like that!

I recently got hooked with Korean hairstyles and my love for natural and soft waves remains --- I've decided to create this romantic hairstyle using my 10-year plus old Remington 1.5 inch Curling Iron.  

This was the result!

Before and After

Did I give you the Koreana vibe?

Watch this simple video that I made on how to create this very subtle romantic waves!  If you are accustomed to your hairstyling tools, you can easily create this style in less than 10 minutes!  (Depending on the thickness of your hair!)

Subtle Waves Hairstyle #AMWIGtv

This has been my go-to look instead of the usual curls or beach waves, I guess I got lazier by the minute or busier for me to be able to do tedious curls!

This, my friend is the easiest hairstyle to achieve, you only need a flat iron and if you don't have one, a big curler would be okay!

Enjoy watching and I hope you LIKE and SUBSCRIBE on my channel, it's nothing fancy, I am still trying to understand what Video Editing is but hang in there, we'll get there! SOMEDAY :D

Remington Air3D + Php1000 OFF PROMO CODE!

My love affair with hair started as early as gradeschool days!  During first grade summer, I insisted to join my mom in a salon and had my hair permed!  (Yes, I had minimal kulot at that age!)  I was such a good daughter my mom can't resist me!  *laugh* 

Comes highschool, the first hair straightening treatment was introduced in the Philippines and I actually went for that treatment with my bestfriend and ended up with unnatural STICK STRAIGHT hair!  

When I started earning my own, I invested on hairstyling tools - from blowdryer to curling iron, steamer, flat iron and a whole lot more!  I practice everything on my own head then decided to move up a notch and studied hairstyling.  

The rest was history --- ask me anything hair tools related, I will have my say!  

One of the few brands that I highly recommend includes - REMINGTON!  

Did you know that my mom and mom-in-law actually own a Remington hairdryer from the 80's pa and it's still working at present?

So back to my story, I knew about this brand way back and actually invested on my first 2-inch curling iron from the brand - I bring it with me on my makeup and hairstyling gigs and it gives me nothing but GOOD memories!  

So when the brand invited me for an intimate dinner for the launch of their newest styling tool - even on a weekend (Sunday pa!)  I knew I had to be there.

Remington Philippines introduced Remington AIR3D.

Our next generation of dryers is here, the AIR3D - with a new structure to hair drying and designed for ultimate styling, you won't have to worry too much about heat damage.
Engineered by a team of experts bringing together years of experience and research, the lightweight AIR3D is leading the way in performance.
AIR3D combines two key features needed for effective hair drying - a unique 3D airflow and temperatures that are ideal for achieving optimised styling results quickly.  
Depending on your preference, three styling attachments with 360 degrees in-use rotation allows for concentrated drying or a diffused flow to help create stunning curls.  All combining to  mean you can achieve a salon worthy blow dry without leaving your home.

Askmewhats Reviews: Remington Protect & Shine Pro Soft Curl Tong

I've always been lemming for a curling iron! I've never gotten the chance to purchase one as I've always been wanting to purchase the best quality plus the best price! I've done my research and I've seen Hot Tools brand being the best for both price and quality, but since we don't have it locally, all I can do is cry...then do something! *laughs*

I have a wonderful Babyliss YouCurl Iron from my dearest friend Gracie, but I find it using for oneself easier than using it for others! So I've decided to purchase a "tong" curler to make my life easier on gigs!

Askmewhats says ---

Pros

• has automatic shut off feature
• gives out a "soft" curl look
• heats up easily
• affordable for its price and quality
• has both ceramic and tourmaline!
• because of Teflon coating, no product build up! YAY!

• bought locally so I can use the 1 year warranty
• heat protection pouch is wonderful! Easy to take along

Cons

• curls may not last as long as those regular metal curling irons, so be sure to apply the right kind of products like curl boosters and hair sprays
• available in 2 sizes only (3/4" and 1 1/2" barrel sizes)

Overall

I feel so happy purchasing this iron! I've used this for myself many times and I like the natural curls it gives me. I've also used this for clients and they love the curls too! It's a huge added factor that the price isn't too much and the quality is great, it performs well!

Tips

• you can purchase a protection glove if you're scared to accidentally touch the tong
• try to put back the curling iron on the pouch after use to protect it
• always be careful when touching the "tip", do not be in a hurry as there's always accidents
• always remember to unplug right after every usage
• use with curl booster to maximize the curls

Will I repurchase?

I hope not! I hope it'll last me a lifetime!

Where to purchase and how much?

At Rustan's for Php2, 150 (approx $44.00)
