Aw man! I realised in my hair has been discoloured abit lately. The end root of the hair has become brownish, and in texture wise, they are unusually rough. *sob sob* This is because I go swimming 2-3 times a week, and I swim an-hour for each session. Long term exposure my hair to chlorinated-pool ruinning my hair~! argh! Bloody chlorine! =(

I musta admit: I love my hair.
I can shamelessly show off my smooth and silky hair in the middle of nowhere. If I think you are kind enough and your hand is clean, I would generous enough to let you feel my hair. Yes, that’s how crazy I am when I talk about my hair. =)

I have a reason for it thou. *ahem* I didn’t get to keep long hair when I lived with my parents, or to be more specific, when I was in back home. My dad thinks short hair is better, and the weather back home is humid (and crazy). Long hair wasn’t appropriate for me because I was a girl scout, I was constantly involved in all sort of out-door, in-jungle and in-forest activities. So, obviously short hair was a better choice back then.

Looking at my discoloured hair…Not happy! The simple solution is to chop the end bit off. But, there is always a method to resolve it before using cutting them off.

You need 2 tablets of dispersible or soluble aspirin.

And some tomatoes–approximately 2-3, depend the size. Blend them into juice.
Simply disperse the aspirin tablets in the freshly blended tomato juice.
Pre-shampoo hair then carefully wet the hair with tomato juice and aspirin mixture; leave it for 10-15 minutes.

Yeah lah! I know lah! My hair look like spaghetti bolognese. =)

Rinse off the tomato residues ;P, shampoo and conditioner hair as usual.

The result:

Erm, you probably can’t see it clearly here. But I tell you, 80% of the black colour has been restored. I am soooo happy!!! The root is not rough anymore. I am soooo soooo HAPPY!

I don’t know how to explain the mechanism of action of the tomato+aspirin; anyway, I was told by a hair-dresser, this is what she does. She uses this method to get rid of excessive chlorine (excessive bleaching) in the hair. It works fabulously! I highly recommend to everyone =)

Cheerio!
