Shiseido Professional Asian Texture Trend 2016 With Kim Hyun Tae

One of the many things that frames a person's face well is most definitely how the hair looks. Keeping healthy hair is essential, maintaining and updating the hair style that fits your personality while keeping updated, to a certain extend, with the current trend helps boost a confident image too. We recently had the pleasure to sit down with the CEO of RaBeauty Core Salon, the renowned Korean hair stylist, Kim Hyun Tae and got some tips in terms of what's trending in the hair industry, one that Shiseido Professional called it the Asian Texture Trend 2016. Let's check them out, shall we?

Apparently, what is trending in 2016 in Korea is the wavy styles. Wavy hair and curls has been a beauty staple for several consecutive occasions, and this trend is set to continue. The natural loose curls, also known as the famous "Korean" big waves are the trending looks now and also in the upcoming season. Just think - those lovely Korean actresses and you will get the big idea. Here are some, shown above, compiled via LUMI's Korean Faces Pinterest board here. According to Mr. Kim Hyun Tae, with his 15 years of experience in the haircare business and styling the likes of Korean beauties like actress Song Hye Kyo, amongst others, revealed that Koreans love to see women in wavy or curls hairstyle is because this trend usually compliments the face structure well and makes the women look young. When one looks younger, most naturally, they would come across more appealing and pleasing to the eyes.

That day, Mr. Kim presented us three different hair textures, the glamorously long (long hair length), elegantly medium (mid-length hair) and innocently-short (short hair length) on some local models. He explained that, in order to achieve these wavy and curl looks, one needs to go through perming the hair. Besides the all-new revolutionized perm by Shiseido Professional, one will also be able to create big, voluminous, airy and loose waves with the new styling product, Shiseido Professional Stage Works Geleé Shake. This styling product styles hair with a beauty serum, which allows the waves to look naturally beautiful and brimming with moisture. All one needs to do is shake the bottle, spritz it onto the hair and rub it into the strands.

Shiseido Professional Stage Works Geleé Shake (150ml, MYR93)
Formulated with skincare technology, the Geleé Shake contains honey moisturizing ingredients that deliver superb moisturizing effect to the hair. Its rich and thick texture of the product serves as a veil of moisture and protection. It also contains humidity-control ingredients, such as Maltitol and Macadamia Nut Oil α that blocks humidity while providing long-lasting sumptuous texture to long wavy hair.

We love the fact that it is super easy to use, feels lightweight, non-sticky, close to gel-like sort of texture and does not weigh down our short hair, and feels refreshing indeed. It does not seem to have a strong scent to it and keeps our mane looking tidy all day long. We are enjoying it ever since we got this one. We are also loving the other product that came with it, the Stage Works Super Hard Gel. Don't be mislead but the word "hard", it is not exactly stone-hard kind of effect. This clear gel has just enough holding power to style your hair, giving it that more structured look, and not that super stiff look that one may imagined *_^

It was great fun learning from the expert all the way from Korea that day and thanks Shiseido Professional Malaysia for the love! The Geleé Shake is available at all Shiseido Professional Salons.

Hope that you are having a happy and lovely week so far, lovelies *_^

With love,
