So what makes me think I'm a hair expert with Asian hair? After working in the hairdressing field for over 25 years, and living with my own thick, coarse stubborn hair, I have cut, styled, crimped, curled, and done whatever I could with it, as well as having every cut, color and extentions done on myself, I would say I am fully qualified in this area to now have some fun and share some tips, looks, ideas and product knowledge with you all with a little help from a few friends. Feel free to share your thoughts and ideas too.

Soft Perms..

I seem to be talking alot about perms lately, but that's because we have been seeing an influx of them coming into our salon (Dekko)

Baya came into Dekko to see Jodi Ninomiya about a soft perm, we all know that perms can be disastrous under the wrong technician but I wanted to share this with you to show you how a good perm should look, especially on Asian hair where it can become TOO curly.

This is Baya before the perm, sorry that the photo is abit dark but you can make out that the hair is pretty flat and fairly straight apart from the curled ends:

The end result came out great, just enough movement and body without looking too fake or artificial. Well done Jodi and thanks to Baya for posing for this post.
