TRUE OR FALSE:
Q: Should you brush your hair 100 times a day to give it shine?
FALSE!
A: There are NO benefits in brushing your hair 100 times a day at all, in fact the only thing this does is to cause some split ends, make the hair flyaway and potentially weaken the hair strands by pulling the hair out of the follicles. I figure the myth must come from people brushing the hair so much that it causes the hair to look greasy and this is mistaken for shine??
Happy New Year!!
A VERY VERY HAPPY 2011 TO ALL OF YOU OUT THERE, THANKS FOR FOLLOWING MY BLOG, I HOPE TO CONTINUE TO FEED YOU WITH ALL I CAN, SO ENJOY IT INTO THE NEW YEAR!!!!
My Pick ~ Simplicity
Simplicity at its best… for Lanvin 2010 collection.
Nothing beats a simple style on a model with good bone structure. This one is practically all one length with a full fringe, black and shiny, but as you can see, can have the best effect, no matter how simple it is.
‘Crap’ Stuff
I know, I know, I just couldn’t help myself!! Posting this crazy ‘crap’ hairstyle for you all to check out!!! Yikes! Some people just love attention, don’t they? No matter how they do it…
At least the ‘art work’ is done well enough for us to work it out!
My Pick..RockerBilly
Hairstyles by Leonardo Manetti
Found these looks in a magazine and thought they were really cute, The whole session was with the same girl but with a different look for each outfit. The looks were very ‘rocker chick’ meets ‘rocker billy’ look, Love it, Thanks Leonardo!
Hair Facts…
TRUE OR FALSE:

Wrapping up JuJu for Xmas..
With the holidays just around the corner, I figured it would be a good time to promote my Texture Powder Styler…this unique product would make a great gift for anyone who has flat fine hair that needs more body or oily flat thick hair that needs de-greasing!
I thought it would be a good idea for me to wrap them nicely (as they can be an awkward shape to wrap oneself, including instructions) so that its all ready to go!
After afew trips and long Q’s to Michael’s and Jo-Ann Fabrics, I came up with this idea…
I used a gold coin to represent the lighter shade and a black coin to represent the darker, it looks simple but believe me it was hard to make it look Christmassy without the tackiness of it all, and with my first version, I tried to keep it all natural looking and it ended up looking like a sack made from Jesus’ cloak!! I’ll show you just for a larf..
It had a round bottom so it just kept falling over!!
Anyway, once I was happy with my wrapping I ended up doing quite afew where they will be sold at Dekko Salon in San Francisco, CA. (sorry picture’s abit dark, it took forever!)
For online sales, if you like the way I’ve wrapped it, I can do some special wrapped orders but please drop me a line first at jules@jujuchan.com
Cheers!
Hit or Miss??
Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate it………
Oooo, sorry Mr. but this is one is a huge ‘Miss’ to me I’m afraid!! Just about everything is a No No. The frizzy perm on top of the blow dried into place bottom section, framing the face and looking overly feminine just does nothing for suitability. The shape is way too round, and then there’s the color..Yuck!
My Pick ~ Updo
Another messy updo that I love. An elegant, classy sophisticated shape combined with a loose, messy, couldnt care less feel! This is how ALL updo’s should be like!

Hyphen Photo Shoot..
The other week I spent a fun filled day working with some of the great staff at Hyphen Magazine (a non-profit magazine focusing on Asian-American topics, you can subscribe by following the link). What started as a simple article about me and my new JujuChan product written by Margot Seeto, then became more and then even more, ending up with a section about my top 5 Asian hair offenses, now, because pictures speak louder than words, we ended up doing a photo session to try to capture my looks.
Thanks to Andria Lo and Erica Jones (from Hyphen) who took this to the next level, who then introduced me to the photographer Patrick Gonzales Rafanan and his lovely assistant Lydia Ortiz, both from Soybaby. The make up artist on the shoot was Elaine Fujii who captured all the looks to go with the dreaded hairstyles, not an easy feat, I know. Also Thanks to Scott Klassen from Dekko salon who came along to help me with the hair, doing such a great job on our Taiwanese/Mall fringe look : )
It was an ultra fun shoot, I have never done a shoot where we needed to make sure everyone looked BAD.. quite hard I must say, difficult when your models put the bad wigs on and end up looking abit hip!! Not our idea, but we got there in the end..
Thanks to all our models from the shoot for having such a great sense of humor an allowing us to make them look bad and foolish, such great sports, so thumbs up to you all : )
Seanathan Chow, Ga Wa, Mary Ann Lumba and Tamera Enriguez.
Enjoy afew backstage shots from the day. The actual article is due out mid December so I cant wait.. Woo Hoo!
