Behind the stage of the Schwarzkopf Hair Show

2 weeks ago, Roger messaged and asked whether I wanted to be a model.

“MODEL?” I questioned myself. I never done anything like that before and it’ll be cool. I was excited and accepted gladly.

Selection of model took place in Hair Cut City Salon on 1st July. I thought that I will 100% be selected as a model after i confirmed myself earlier with Roger but no.

“Siap, why select lagi!” I thought again. I’m not yentao, not physically fit, not really tall and don’t have special feature. No chance already. The only advantage I have is my thick, 4-month-no-cut’s hair!

On the day itself, the lady in charge asked “Those who cannot cut short hair stand on the left and those who can, stand on the right’. I stood at where I was standing originally, the right. I was thinking that this will score me a higher chance.

After some discussion and selection, all of the guys standing on the ‘you-cannot-cut-short-my-hair’ corner got dropped out. The same goes to the girls except 1 or 2. This mean I’m in as a hair show model! All haircut and dye is done on the first day. It starts from 3:30pm to 7:30 (for me, there’s a reason why) and the others stayed until 11:30pm to finish everything including the selection of their clothings. We were offered ayamku as dinner, not bad =]

Day 2, 2nd June 08

All touch up, hair wash and styling is done in the morning. After lunch around 2pm, all of us gathers at Rizqun International Hotel for reharsal. we were offered ayamku as lunch (again). The show is held at the ballroom on the 4th floor.

We did reharsal, briefed on the position to pose on and the introduction to the whole flow of the show later at 7:30pm. After reharsal, it’ll be make up sessions for all models, including me.

It’s not only the first time I do modelling but also the first time I’m being applied make up to my face! I took the advantage of the spare time, opportunity and the ‘willingness-of-girls (people) to-get-photographed-after-make-up’ psychology to take pictures of them.

//Jia Yi with her unique sleepy eyes.

//the girls, check out the huge hair, we teased her by calling her to use her hair for car keys, mobile phones storage while running the show. lol

//Zemah

//Would the Chef get tempted? This picture feels sexy.

//”Let’s peek in the dark” It’s Zemah again, all pose and idea by me. =p

//Fanny and Mike, this angle looks some what like a wedding photo!

//Group photo (from left) of Zemah, Neesa, Adeq, Fanny and Mike.

//I just love her red/pink colour on her hair. I also found this picture to be sharp among all the photos I took. She has got the ‘I-want-to-eat-you’ emotion here. =p

//JiaYi and Nina, both posing after doing “Live Cut” on the show itself.

Curious about my new hairstyle? The Simpsons/Army Look? Well, let’s do a before and after comparison.

//This is me, days ago at the Xtreme.

Behold. Introducing my new short, army haircut!

//I went in the salon as the guy with the longest hair and came out with the shortest. lol. In fact, I don’t really hate this hairstyle or is regretted cutting it short. If it’s weren’t for this haircut, i wouldn’t be able to know what ‘hair show’ model is all about, wouldn’t be able to know more great friends, wouldn’t have the chance to take these photographs and wouldn’t receive one of these as a gift!

//Gift Baskets of Schwartzkopf’s Product worthed B$200! I’m selling $150, anyone? (Have no use for these with my current haircut)

//On top of that, we were given complimentary dinner at the ballroom @ Rizqun.

It was another great experience! For more photos in an album, please look through here @ Facebook. All Photography by Me. (except the one with me inside) Kindly drop comments to show some support and appreciation for the photos.

Gotta go KB this Sunday Morning for Project “Chloe” and attend HSBC Post Event celebration in the night. Probably beach this Saturday. Busy busy. Shower me with comments. Thank You.
