All curled up
Today is Sunday!!!!
Sunday is:
-postsecret day
-wake up after noon day
-get started on work for real day
-dim sum day
-be happy for no reason day
-ignore Facebook requests day
-listen to Beatles and Bowie on full blast day
-think of what ants do on rainy days day
-reread Norwegian Wood in bed day
Sunday is an amazing day 
Anyway! After a million years, I finally got around to taking a video of me curling my hair with a straightener! Giang taught me this last year and it took me soooo long to master it! I’m such a slow learner T__T But I’ve nailed it now so let me show you how I curl my hair with a straightener 
Sorry the music is a little emo but it’s my current favorite song so whatevaaa
Other info:
-I always apply heat protecting serum/spray before curling/straightening my hair
-I put the heat to the highest (420) otherwise the curls won’t look as good but I only curl my hair once a week or so so I guess it’s not as damaging
-I like this method better than using curling tongs cause the friction+heat make my curls last longer but this could also be potentially more damaging? not sure. as long as you don’t do it that often and still apply serum before then it should be fine!
-Yeap that’s my roommate behind me. There was one scary part where you can’t see her but you see her reflection on the mirror moving around so quite freaky wtf
If you need other clarifications, let me know! I hope the video is clear enough. Will do a makeup one next but a bit lazy to do that cause you can find makeup videos everywhereeee and I’m nowhere as good as most of them!
p.s: life is only complicated if you think it is. Let’s all live in a yellow submarine and occasionally visit the octopus’ garden and live happily ever after like that.

You are so cute! anyway,nice video.
your hair looks healthy even though you curl it quite often, perhaps heat protection hair products is the key? anyway thanks for the tutorial! never seen people curl it that way and using a straightener instead of the curling tong but i love the effects! I am going to H K next month for Christmas! Can I know which best shopping mall did you bring the girls to?
Thanks! Have a nice day!
i really enjoy lazy sundays as well, minus the “get started on work for real” part!!
also wondering, how much longer are you in hong kong for?
Great tutorial!
I’ve been wondering for sometime how to curl hair using a straightener so I bought a curling iron instead.
I only brought my straightener back to Asia and now I can use it as a curling tool!
Thanks!
Very useful since i only got straightener.:D Between how you tie up your hair into a bun nicely?
oh finally. Thanks! You are gorgeous!

hey girl! i got a very stupid qn to ask u. everytime i visit postsecret website right, how to go to the next page ah? i cannot find any button or what to go to next page leh!!!???!!???
hihi suetli jiejie
i love reading your blog and this is my first time commenting! thank you for posting this video! does this only work with ceramic irons? cos i tried it before with a non-ceramic straightener and it didn’t work.. but then that was a lousy iron anyway HAHA. what can i do to make my curls stay longer, btw? 
thank you!
liyen, i think can lah! they dont have specific type one, all also got.
xiaopei, thanks =D
strawberry, hahah i dunno! i subscribe it on my google reader and just read from there wor. i think cant see archive one ah? they want u to buy the book wtf. can see on reader though
princess, thanks for reading and commenting! i think it works best with ceramic iron. i tried with others before but not so good! spray hairspray after that!
thank you very very much for d tutorial!!never knew ceramic iron can curl lidat!i juz tot of buying a curling tong d other day..now i think no need liao…hahaha!
hey. when u set the iron too hot, wont it leave the iron clamp marks on ur hair? i’ve tried b4 n i really don’t like the iron clamp marks… looks so ugly. do u haf any way to prevent it?
meili, no problem!!
joanne, no iron marks whtsoever! try it =D
Haha! I like your roomate! She is sort of oblivious towards you recording yourself.
Haha! So cuteeee!
Thanks for the tutorial! Very helpful indeed! I shall go get one today
love your key pendant!
Now think of it, using that small rounded edge hair straightener is easier than using the curling tong ones. Sigh. I just bought CHI curling iron..should have bought TI straightener iron instead. Love ur tutorial

hi suet :] can u please make a tutorial on how u keep ur skin clear and smooth?
oooh, thanks for posting it up!
Nice:)Is it true if you gather smaller bunches of hair together it will create tighter curls, like more curls? Btw, i like your face shape. It allows you to look good in any hairstyle!:]
alexis: if you curl smaller amount of hair each time then you get tighter curls! but i don’t quite like that look..looks older! thanks =D
