Hey ladies! I was wondering if anyone knew of a good place in HK that specializes in curly hair. I am terrified to go somewhere because even an Asian woman with a perm cannot compete with how curly my hair is and I am afraid they will cut too much or try to put in layers or something. Anyone with extremely kinky curly hair have any recommendations? P.S. I also have highlights...Help!

Hi
I have curly hair too and I had not cut my hair for year as too scared to try anyone.
I did however find Lorraine at The Firm is fantastic. She is actually the best hair dresser I have ever had inc UK and Oz. The Firm is in the Centrium 60 Wyndham street - 2525 6696.

Try Renee at the hairdressers. She did my hair and she's got curly hair herself.

I have curly hair and suffered through a few haircuts where local hairdressers tried to cut my hair as if it were straight and thick like Asian hair (i.e. using razors on the ends). Since I found him, I have been very happy with Philip from Philip George.

Dear deliran, thank you for your kind comments.
For those interested: humid climates can exasperate Curly hair, especially making the hairline areas and ends look and act quite frizzy, especially if the persons hair tends to be dry or has had chemical services.
One way to help combat frizziness , is to substitute your Conditioner for a small amount of a light weight Hair treatment or mask, and use it as you would a conditioner. This will help to build up moisture in your hair and weigh down the frizz.

Philip, could you suggest a light weight treatment/mask? I have the same problem.

Umm, Douglas Lilliico - I am not 'Philip George' and am not indulging in any self-promotion. I think you're being a tad cynical. 'Bayside' asked for a good place to go for her curly/kinky hair, which a couple of us have suggested. I know we're not allowed to say anything bad about businesses, but as far as I know we are allowed to tell other posters of good experiences. Good ahead and check all my other postings - I've been posting for years and am certainly NOT a hairdresser.

deliran - am with you on Philip George (Douglas, I am not Philio George either!) - have my hair cut and him and it is excellent. have sort of wavy hair, not too curly..

Hi ‘99’ Regarding my suggestion about substituting a conditioner for a lightweight
treatment, try the body shop ones, or pop into Watsons or
Mannings and try either Wella, Dove, or L'Oreal's home masks.
Usually, these are more concentrated than regular conditioners, so use a small amount. If you use this method regularly, [you do not have to wait to leave it in] it will build up over a few shampoo's, creating the effect you want.
Thank you again Deliran and to you ldsllvn.
Even though I am Philip George, I thought I should give myself a try: after giving myself a quick trim, I was pleasantly surprised to discover how good I am.
[Is this OK Ed?]
Regards. Philip

Curls

As you can see by my post name, I am with you on the curls. I too use Lorainne from The Firm. Must admit, it gets expensive, but I am fine paying the price knowing it will look good and getting the head massage during the shampoo. Although, I am waiting longer betweens cuts as my salary does not give me the option of more frequent visits. I am kinda a Firm junkie as I use them for waxing, spray tans, and threading too.
I know the hair stylist here may cringe... but here is my curly hair survival from a non-hairstylist, just a girl who has lived in the hair for 25 years:
To combat my frizz I bought a ton of a cheap version of frizz ease I found at Sally beauty in the States and brought it over. It works great... I also use some Boots hair creme on days I give my hair a break and put it in a loose bun to keep freeze down but not overloading my hair. I only use shampoo every other time but always condition. I only dry the top part of my hair to get a little volume and let the other naturally dry. If it is a super humid day, I will sometimes work a little silicone into the ends and around the "baby wings" that frame my face. Headbands are my best friend out on junk trip as no matter what you end up looking like a mad scientist.

Ditto on the comments re: Lorraine at the Firm. Totally worth the money! She is a blast to talk with as well.
