Good luck everyone and I can guarantee that three lucky folk are going to have a a whole year of good hair days! 

LADY@LXG: Nothing beats a good hair day, except maybe winning a billion dollars.

There is truly nothing more satisfying, not to mention confidence-boosting, than great looking and great smelling hair, which is why I was literally over the moon when HASK finally made it to Singapore! 

If you haven't already heard of HASK, and are not skimming through my post to see where the heck you can get your HASK fix from (Guardian stores - you are welcome), you need to seriously get yourself out from under that rock because you have missed out on the hottest haircare product in Hollywood! 

This range smells minty and gives body and volume to thin or limp hair

HASK is literally the hottest haircare product in the market. Not only are they not tested on animals (very important to me) and are free of SLS (its the chemical that is used in industrial floor cleaners and just about anything that foams and froths), the entire range smells so heavenly, you just want to drink the damn thing, let alone wash your hair with it. Normally, my scalp can be quite a bit of a diva, getting all itchy and dandruffy if I use shampoos that cost less than $45 a bottle, so I was so happy when it didn't throw a hissy fit when I used my first HASK product (Monoi Coconut - divine smelling and so hydrating). 

I especially love how every single product under its range, be it coconut, almond, charcoal, etc., leaves my hair smelling so wonderful that I can't help but flick it around in the train, just to give everyone a sniff. 

Lady@LXG Kristen Chen with HASK brand Ambassador Sukki Singapora

And who better to be the HASK brand ambassador here in Singapore but the country's only burlesque performer, the very beautiful Sukki Singapora.

And how does she maintain her hair, which at the launch was in a number of vibrant shades? Well Sukki swears by the HASK Kalahari range.

HASK Shampoos and Conditioners are affordably priced at $16.90 and their hair mask sachets (a godsend for dry, dehydrated hair) and glossing oil vials (think super-awesome smelling, gorgeously shiny but absolutely no greasy hair) are priced at only SGD $4.90, so what are you waiting for? Go grab yourself some HASK today! 

HASK is exclusively available at all Guardian stores and is my new favourite haircare brand ever! 

SHE SAYS@LXG: Botanics Creation my new indulgence!

SHE SAYS: 

There is truly nothing more indulgent than a hair spa. In fact, if you feel down in the dumps, got dumped, feel like the world sucks or better yet, if you actually have a genuine hair problem, go to Botanics Creation which is conveniently located on level 3 of Pacific Plaza in Orchard, and you will come out feeling like the world is a great place! 

Because of my eczema, I can't have any facials or massages which is most frustrating, so discovering Botanics Creation was the best thing since sliced bread as far as I was concerned. The salon uses products by Secret Professionnel by PHYTO and since I also use PHYTO products, I knew that the treatment would not further aggravate my already irritable skin. 

After a detailed scalp analysis, my therapist told me that I had a normal scalp, but some follicles were slightly clogged, so off I went into the darkened room to change into a super fluffy robe and enjoy my scalp being massaged, purified and oxygenated, all while my super skilled therapist expertly massaged my arms and shoulders with a soothing blend of essential oil (which I did not react negatively to by the way) all while sipping on a delicious cup of expresso and nibbling on my Italian biscotti...... absolute bliss!

After the treatment, my hair was washed and towel dried and my scalp re-analysed and lo and behold, those few clogged pores were all cleared and my scalp was all healthy and happy! My therapist cum stylist then blow dried my hair and curled it for me, so I would look extra fabulous at my meeting later on. 

I must say that I have had my hair tonged before, and the results have not lasted beyond an hour in Singapore's humidity, but this time, my curls remained bouncy and fabulous the WHOLE DAY! If you would like to try out their spa (and I truly think you should!!) then take advantage of their current promotion toda

LIFESTYLE@LXG: It's Pure Hair Indulgence when Kishani Discovers the Creambath!

The Hair Creambath treatment at Immortelle Atelier was pure bliss for me the exhausted traveller, having spent two days back to back taking in the sights, sounds and shopping of Singapore; you could say I was rather exhausted, when my friend raved about their Hair Creambath, I just had to give it a go (its only $55!!!) and OMG it was a pleasurable moment that allowed me to survive the rest of my holiday! 

John the head stylist started my treatment off by washing my hair with a caviar based shampoo, which smelled ever so good. Btw ever heard of water conservation while shampooing, well i don’t think he used more than three squirts of water on my head to lather the shampoo, quite a fascinating tactic, recommended to all stylists! From there I was treated to a divine head massage while he washed away the shampoo. There after John’s magic hands worked-in a cooling menthol Creambath with a thirty-minute head massage, at the end of which he had to wake me up, that’s how calming it was (thank goodness I managed to snap at least one photo before I nodded off).



I was informed by John that the most effective way to maintain the good health of your hair and scalp was to schedule in a Creambath as often as possible.

I totally swear that if I lived in Singapore, I would have one at least once a week! Fun fact did you know that the scalp determines how great your hair looks!

Note this treatment will definitely leave your hair shiny, healthy and easy to manage and ONLY costs $55!



Post the indulgent massage my hair was wrapped for a few further minutes where the product is allowed to penetrate into the scalp, and then he continued with a relaxing shoulder and neck massage which was performed while the treatment took effect. OMG this was amaaaazing! The man has magical hands or something. He kneaded away all my stress and knots and left me wobbly as a Jello!

While my scalp was being pampered, my tired from shopping hands were being moisturized and massaged and then they were put into a pair of gloves filled Maria Galland Cocoon mask and left to absorb for about ten minutes and then washed off, leaving me with baby-soft hands!



After about forty minutes of the cooling mint Creambath that had been absorbed into my tired head my hair was rinsed and conditioned with a Caviar conditioner, where again i was spoilt with a short but ever so loved massage, after which my hair was blown and styled into a swishy do that left me looking and smelling so awesome!



The Cream Bath at Immortelle Atelier is a definite cost effective spoiler for anyone looking for some timeout in the hustle and bustle of Singapore holiday.

Priced between S$55 and S$60 it is affordable and definitely a highlight of my holiday. I love you Immortelle Atelier and will be back again soon!

STYLE@LXG: Spike it the way you like it with Stage Works Spiky Booster

This April Shiseido Professional launched its new hairstyling product SPIKYBOOSTER from its styling line STAGE WORKS, a line specifically developed for salon stylists and fashion and beauty-conscious women.  

The perfect tool for creating hairstyles without compromising on the lightweight feel of clean hair, SPIKY BOOSTER works by taking advantage of the technologies and ingredients available only from STAGE WORKS, so that it can satisfy even male customers with short hair (that would be us at LXG). One of this new styling product’s attractions is its outstanding wearability that makes it possible to keep the created hairstyle all day long. 

In order to achieve the most powerful hair-setting capability, Spiky Booster has been formulated with a high concentration of finely granulated wax. In fact, it contains the largest amounts of wax ingredients among all the STAGE WORKS products, while still managing to have a readily spreadable, easy-to-use texture that does not stiffen. 

Formulated with volume-making powder in addition to wax ingredients, its hair-setting capability has been enhanced without the sticky feel that we usually expect from most wax based products!

Another big selling point to the product (in our opinion as wax using short haired men) is its Humidity Control Polymer which prevents our hairstyle from going flat when faced with high levels of humidity or water, a definite issue we face here in humid and monsoonal Singapore!

Spiky Booster retails here in Singapore at $30
