​With the increasing popularity of Korean drama idols, Korean-style hair has been in trend for the longest time. WIZ Korean Hair Salon has just opened recently this year, in the heart of Orchard Road, in Delfi Orchard shopping mall. The owner of the salon is a Korean lady, Ms Bella Yoon, who has 15 years of experience working in the hair salon industry in Korea! 
Located at level 4 of Delfi Orchard
The Salon has a classy interior and everything was neat and clean. Fear not and leave your hair to the professionals!
Neat Interior of the Salon
on 10th of November 2017, WIZ Hair Salon conducted an informative workshop on hair care and Korean make up. Hair care and hair styling techniques were taught by Mr Kenny Cheng, a professional hairstyling who has been in the Korean hair industry for 7 years, while the makeup session was taught by the salon owner herself. For those who could not make it to the workshop, here are some tips and tricks that we got from the workshop! 

Due to the humid weather Singapore has, many of us would have experienced oily scalp. Hence, although there has been a craze about articles going around that mention the benefits of not shampooing for days, it is still advisable for Singaporeans to shampoo once a day, especially if doing outdoor activities. One way to check on the condition of our scalp is to take a look at the condition of our skin, as they are often closely similar. For example, people with oily skin would normally face the problem of having an oily scalp. It is highly advisable for people with oily scalp to stick to shampoos targeted at oily scalp condition for oil control.

Explaining Important Tips to the Participants
​For those who are more adventurous and love to bleach or color their hair, it is important to take special care of your hair, or many will face the problem of hair dry hair that is hard to comb through. The experts recommend applying conditioner or doing hair treatment to help tackle the damage and retain moisture of the hair. When applying conditioner, be sure to apply them far away from the roots of your hair and apply them from midway to the ends instead as those are the parts that have been with you the longest. Furthermore, if the conditioner is applied onto your scalp, it may cause your hair to look greasy once it dries.
 
Apart from applying products on our hair, our mental health and diet will affect the condition of our hair as well.  For instance, being stressed out may affect hair loss. Consuming food that are oily or has high sodium content is detrimental to our health, and not to mention, our hair too.
 
For ladies who have long hair, you may have experienced the struggles of having trouble trying to dry hour hair and end up spending hours waiting for our hair to dry before going to bed. Well, here are some tips that may help you get by your routine in an easier manner. First, you would want to wrap your hair in a towel right after you get out of the shower. This way, the towel will help to absorb excess water that is dripping from the hair and it help to prevent the floor from getting wet as well. Next, you would want to gently rub the towel against your head. It is important to be gentle so as to not damage the cuticles of your hair. If you have really thick hair, using a hair drying would be a more efficient alternative. When using a hair dryer, it is advisable to choose medium heat temperature if possible. A temperature too high may cause overheating which leads to damaging of hair. Always aim to blow dry the scalp first before any other parts of the hair since it is the most congested part of where the moisture holds. Then, flip all of your hair to the left and blow from the top. Repeat the same procedure for the right and back side. Essentially, the most important tip is never to sleep with wet hair and it will lead to harmful side effects like headache, stroke and other severe illnesses. 
Demonstrating Hair Curling Techniques
Moving on to hair styling techniques, participants were taught simple styling hacks to spice up their daily hair routine! 

​ Proper hair curling techniques were taught, such as how to twirl your hair around the hair curler and how long to leave it for. For beginners, it would be easier and safer to hold the thong at a higher angle. For those who love to straighten their hair as well, or has a hair straightener at home, you will be glad to find out that you can use a hair straightener to curl your hair as well! It can be done by just focusing on the ends of the hair and giving it a quick twist. Another technique would be the hair dryer method where you roll the ends of your hair up use a round brush while the hair is slightly wet and blow dry the ends using a hair dryer.
Participants trying out Hair Curling
Participants got to try out the techniques for themselves and prove that it is not as hard as it looks! 

A bonus tip and an extra lazy method for curling your hair is to roll the ends of your hair using a cylindrical-shaped object (size depending on how big you want your curls to be) and keep it together by tying it up using a rubber band. Leave it on overnight and remove the rubber bands when you wake up the next morning. There you have it - natural curls!
