I always start with a heat<br />
protecting spray on my damp<br />
hair. I let it air dry for a bit before<br />
using the medium setting on the<br />
hair dryer. The hair dryer has 3<br />
settings- turbo, set and cool but<br />
I always use ‘set’ to maintain the<br />
waviness of my hair. The quick<br />
drying nozzle and balanced airflow<br />
allows for fast drying that saves<br />
me a lot of time.<br />
<br />
Next is to straighten my bangs. I<br />
use a barrel brush to achieve the<br />
bounce and set the hair dryer to<br />
the ‘turbo’ setting for some heat. I<br />
blow my bangs forward, curling it<br />
at the ends. Even though it’s on a<br />
turbo setting, my hair still retains<br />
shine and moisture thanks to the<br />
nanoe emitting function.<br />
My hair is a big part of my<br />
identity and ever since I<br />
stopped cutting it short<br />
in 2016, maintaining this wavy<br />
mane has been a lot of trial and<br />
errors. But after many trips abroad<br />
and using a plethora of tools and<br />
products, I have gotten a grip of<br />
what works for my hair.<br />
When travelling for work,<br />
there are days where I would need<br />
to attend meetings with important clients, government officials<br />
and lately, travel consulate representatives. It is different from<br />
my sightseeing days where I opt for a casual look. This ‘business’<br />
look usually requires me to look polished without sacrificing my<br />
signature style (I love ribbons!).<br />
Out of all gadgets, the hair dryer is the 3 in 1 tool that I<br />
gravitate for when I need to step up my hair game. An easy one<br />
that is travel-friendly is the Panasonic Dual Voltage Travel nanoe<br />
hair dryer that has a foldable handle and lightweight design.<br />
<br />
After enough bounce on my<br />
bottom curls, I gather my hair up<br />
into a high ponytail and secure it<br />
with a rubber band. I create some<br />
volume by scrunching my hair<br />
upward and as a final touch, I tie a<br />
black ribbon. To keep my hair from<br />
getting frizzy, I blast some cool air<br />
to set everything in place before<br />
spraying some hair spray.<br />
<br />
I enhance my waves using the<br />
same barrel brush, twirling a<br />
section of my hair around it before<br />
applying heat. I make sure to<br />
evenly distribute the heat around<br />
my curls before pulling the brush<br />
down and out. This creates a<br />
perfectly bouncy curl.<br />
