Hair Extensions in Milly's

It's quite unfair that some girls have natural long, wavy & thick hair *like fern .. cis* .. I have very little hair since I was born till today 7_7 *double cis* .. In order to add more volume, I had to wax and curl my hair. It looks nice in pictures but trust me, it looks & feels horrible in reality lol cuz my hair is always very messy & sticky because of the wax. Masy & I used to call my hair "sarang lebah" which means bird nest =D

I remember a guy tried to talk to me in Maison. I was annoyed because he was behind me & he kept talking me even though the music was so loud. We had to shout at each other 7_7 Sungguh unglam. So anyway, he suddenly touch and was playing with my hair LOL and gawd I think he felt gross out HAHA because my hair was so messy & sticky =_= blame the wax *ahem* *shy*

Example picture of my real hair with lotsa wax & my favourite messy style


To overcome this, I found out that the extensions in Milly's (fyi, Milly's is in Singapore) was really cheap compared to the saloons in KL. I did my research and discover that the braiding method was alot more comfortable than the glue/stick/attached type. I finally decided to do my extensions (braiding method) in Milly's with Zon and that was 2 years ago.

Each strand cost $1 (do look out for their promotions) and normally it takes around 200 to 300 strands ++ I remember I had 270 extensions on for the first time and I didn't really like it at first because I find it too long. However, I changed my mind later. I love my extensions ALOT .. I will never go back to short hair or my ugly original hair anymore.



Zon and my extensions .. we were at BEP's concert


My extensions was pretty short here because I asked the stylist to trim .. I was in Penang in this picture .. looking very scary =/


Sample 3: Was getting ready for Coco's wedding studio shoot


My first extensions managed to last me about 7 to 8 months surprisingly. I went back to Singapore again and had new bunch of hair extensions again. This time I had 360+ extensions and I choose the longest (length). I was so satisfied with the results but it cost me around RM800 ++ (about $300++) .. It's still cheaper compared to KL. In KL, extensions probably cost around RM1000++ .. A friend of mine did the glue type in KL & she paid for it about RM1.3k .. However, she took it off within 1 month because she said it was too painful and uncomfortable.

You don't have to worry about your hair colour because Milly's have all types of colours and they will try to find the nearest colour to your real hair. So you can dye your hair first before you do the extensions.


I love my extensions here (My 2nd time)


Another example .. sorry for da ugly background lol


Another shot

Another 6 months has passed, my sister and I decided to go to Singapore again to shop and to re-extend my extensions. So this was my third time.

It feels comfortable and washing your hair with extensions is not really that hard. Well, maybe you have to use & spend more on shampoo.


Curls


It wasn't as long as the 2nd one .. I cut my extensions on my own lol

With eyes closed


After I dye my hair with Liese =D


Last month, I went all the way to Singapore again to re-extend my hair for the forth time. This time I did about 270 strands (including the 50 free strands) .. I love my hair stylish, Winter. Although, we couldn't really communicate since she's from China and knows some basic english but she's really nice and friendly.


My hair without extensions


My hair after extensions

Seriously, I can't leave without my extensions. I'll prolly have extensions till I grow old. I'll try the wavy extensions next time and do a review on it =D Cya!

Haha same here, girl! I have naturally very fine hair and I hate it cuz it's so flat if I don't volumize with wax. It makes my hair sticky and hard, I can't go under the rain or go swimming cuz the water will ruin the volumized look. I did my first full head extensions at Milly's too and I am too fully satisfied. It's great knowing that there is someone else out there who's in the same plight as me. I'm gonna have to have extensions till I grow old too hahaha! Check out my blog too at www.roseslaceglitter.blogspot.com if you wanna see my extensions (; it's been 2 months already since I first had the extensions put in. I wanna ask of you too experience a lot of hair fall out? Like the binds of extensions don't come out, but only strands drop and quite a lot drops. I read online that it's normal for extensions? Just wondering if you experience the same thing?

I love your extensions so very much!! I have very fine and limp hair too. :( I am considering it done in Milly's too if I have a chance to go to singapore. You are right that it's more expensive getting it done in KL. I love the second time where you had 360 extensions placed in. How long did it take you to have the extensions done?

Kay Kay: Hi there,I recently just had my 5th hair extensions but this time I did it in Cheras & it's only RM600 =D I will definitely blog about it soon ..

Regarding on your ques, I did my hair about 1 hour ++ in Milly's. As for Cheras, I think it took more than 3 hours 7_7;
