JustNorahs says......Qualities A Man Should HAVE!

Happy Merdeka Day! I just back from shopping, shopping for mooncakes! I know is a bit too early to have mooncake but I just can't help it because I only eat them once a year! Besides shopping for mooncakes, I had my afternoon tea with one of friend. Guess what? We were discussing about a video we watched on YouTube recently.

Few days ago, while I was waiting for my lunch to serve, I watched the following video.

http://youtu.be/IsLMv6rpRsU

After watching this video, I was asking myself......Can I tolerate my boyfriend abuse me? 

 My answer is "NO!"

YS and I were totally disagree with 

Mr. Right = Mr. Rich!

Both of us are looking for a boyfriend who has qualities like smart, brave, gentleman, talented, hardworking, not selfish, patient,grooming etc. YS is quite lucky as she has found her boyfriend who has most of the qualities she's looking for. ^-^

As for me, I have my own standard, 

the 5 qualities Men should HAVE!

Not selfish to me, my family and my friends. A selfish man is care and love himself more than anything included the girlfriend. I was lucky that my previous boyfriends were not a selfish man. ^-^

I can't imagine, if my bf is not working and he's asking me to support his living! "NO, NO, NO!"! Hardworking as in 'Ringan tulang" in earning money and have a good saving and planning for our future.

He should be a patient boyfriend and tolerate to me. One of my ex-bf was a "super patient" man, he was patient in our relationship but the distance "killed our relationship". He never rush me during my shopping, waited me for hours when I have group discussion, a good listener when I complaint about my assignments, has good tempered and I think he never lost his patience with me.

I have some guys friends who is not gentlemen at all! He saw me and my gf were struggling carry the chairs but he just sat there enjoying his beer. Why can't he lends a helping hand? A gentleman should be a polite, not calculative and always willing to lend a helping hand. Remember, a gentleman always leave a good impression!

He should be smart enough to solve the problems, to take the right steps and do right thing at right time! Smart enough when I need him to be there and to guide me.

That's my "5 qualities men should HAVE!". 

How about yours?

L'Oréal Professionnel INOA ODS² (Oil Delivery System) Technology & INOA Hair Care

About two weeks ago, I wrote a blog post " Say Goodbye to my Virgin Hair & Hello to INOA Ash Light Blonde " to introduce my new hair color . I received a lots of compliments from  my friends and family on my new hair color. 

 

INOA Ash Light Blonde. What do you think?

L'Oréal Professionnel introduced INOA, hair care products in 2009. Just in 2 years, more than 50 million INOA hair colour services have been applied worldwide! 

In July 2012, L'Oréal Professionnel launched the INOA second generation, INOA2 with ODS² (Oil Delivery System²).

What’s ODS² (Oil Delivery System²)?

• a scientific innovation with 22 patents*
• a revolutionary new technology that harnesses the power of oil to maximize colourperformance using minimal concentrations of MEA, an alternative alkaline agent to ammonia. 
• amplifies the penetration of the colouragents into the hair and preserves the hair’s lipid protection post-application. 

Benefits:

• Ammonia-free
• Odourless
• 6 weeks of intense hydration & nutrition
• Softer & shiner hair than before hair colour service 
• covers 100% of grey hair

The INOA 2 tube and  INOACOLOR hair care range (Shampoo, Conditioner and mask).

Tools and INOA Oxydant  for INOA hair colour services.

As I mentioned in my previous post, this was my very 1st hair colour service in my whole life! :O I was invited to Shawn Cutler, Bangsar for the media session to experience the INOA ODS²  hair colour service.

The interior design of Shawn Cutler......It's a cosy hair studio.

A photo of me before welcoming the new INOA ODS² hair colour.

There are 60 shades of L'Oréal Professionnel INOA ODS² hair colours to choose. Hmm......which shade to chose? The brunettes are rich and magnetic ; the reds & coppers are flamboyant and seductive. Well, the blonds are sparkling and sophisticated.

Karen, the senior hairstylist guide me to choose a beautiful shade that suit me. :) Finally,  I decided  for  INOA 8.1 Ash Light Blonde.

Let's see how my virgin hair colour transform to Ash Light Blonde. 

The hairstylist mix a tube of INOA ODS² hair colorant with Oxydant 30 Vol INOA 2  before applying onto my hair. Leave on my hair for about 30 minutes.

Honestly, there were no ammonia smell during the whole hair colouring service. My scalp feel comfortable throughout the whole colouring session.

The INOACOLOR CARE Sulfate Free Shampoo was used to wash my hair. This creamy shampoo contains Argan Oil and Green Tea extract that leave my INOA color-treated hair smooth, shine and hydrated.

Next, INOACOLOR CARE Masque was applied to my shampooed and towel dried hair.

INOACOLOR CARE Masque, is a creamy protective conditioning masque that helps to protect and maintain the colour radiance of my INOA color-treated hair. This masque features a Sulfate-Free Technology too!

Yay, masking time. The hairstylist apply and massage evenly the creamy masque on my newly coloured hair and wrap my hair up for 10 minutes. ^-^

Lastly, wash, blow-dry my hair and do styling! The INOACOLOR CARE Masque leave my hair silky smooth, shiny and hydrated!

The BEFORE & AFTER photo of my hair taken using my camera.

Another photo of my INOA color-treated hair by the professional photographer. My hair is softer, shinier and has a vibrant colour after the INOA ODS²  hair colour service! It's also an Ammonia-free hair colour service!

Me with Shawn, the owner of Shawn Cutler and my hairstylist, Karen.

I love my new hair colour and my hair colour still look vibrant and shinny.

I continue my daily routine with the INOACOLOR Care Haircare range:

INOACOLOR CARE Sulfate Free Shampoo

INOACOLOR CARE Conditioner

INOACOLOR CARE Masque

plus 

L'Oreal Professionnel Mythic Oil Colour Glow Oil (I'll review this hair treatment oil soon!).
