SNSD hair in I Got A Boy

I bet everybody interested in Kpop already heard "I Got A Boy" from SNSD (Girls Generation) by now~
They came back sporting awesome colorful hair. Some of the hairstyles are obviously wigs but the colored part aren't wigs. I'm going to tell you how to get their hair color but first, lets look back at SNSD's colorful hair!

Sunny came back with short hair and different colors such as blue, pink, and purple!

Taeyeon had blue tips. I might add that I like her hair the most out of all of them. :) 

Hyeoyeon's colorful parts....that I dont like that much...(I do like the second picture, but that wasn't even in the MV) and did you notice that she got the worse scene with the boy? She slaps him for being late. That's it. There is no close up of her either for this scene...

Jessica's blond streaks are probably clip on blonde extensions but the color tips are the secret ingredient(?) for sure~

If you would like to try out SNSD's colorful style, here's the secret:

HAIR TINT/CHALK.




It comes as bars like normal chalks would or as little pot things. lol  I'm not going to link you to any site where you can buy it since I dont want to advertise for anyone (that is, without getting paid) but just google: "hair tint" or "hair chalk" and there you go. Just rub on the chalk onto your hair and voila!! instant color!! It washes out with water so it's only temporary, by the way. to have your hair colored for a long time, you need to actually dye your hair. :T But if it's for a night out and you want to look stand out, GO FOR IT~~
 
The only thing is, it can get on your clothes. :( So wear a dark shirt or something instead of a white shirt or your favorite shirt. It's washable so it doesn't matter but you dont want to walk around with colorful barf stains, right? x)
Also, ofcourse, it wont work with dark hair...Okay, it does but it's barely visible! If you're coloring your hair, I assume you want it bright like SNSD. The only way the colors are going to be visible is if you dye your hair lighter OR use blonde extensions and tint them with whatever color, just like Jessica did! 
Leave a comment if you read this and tell me your opinion about hair tint/chalk^^

*Disclaimer, I do not own any pictures~ SNSD's pictures are just screenshots of the MV (I did do the screenshooting tho) and the other pictures (tint pics) are from google. :)

Melon Bread Review

This is my review of the famous Japanese melon bread!
So, I first heard about melon bread while watching an anime called Shakugan no Shana.
The main girl character liked melon bread and it made me curious. 

The thing she's eating is melon bread!

The moment I saw it in the anime, I thought it looked exactly like a Mexican concha bread! If it was so, then it wouldn't be anything that special since I had eaten concha bread since I was a kid. Concha bread's actual bread part tastes sort of...stiff? I mean to say not that soft :P The crusty things on top are quite powdery but delicious~ Honestly, everyone eats conchas because of their crusty things haha. The best part of eating a concha is to gather all the powder left from the concha and shoving them into your mouth. yummy. 

Okay maybe it doesnt look EXACTLY the same...but you get my point.

I bought melon bread right away on my first trip to a convenience store in Shibuya, Tokyo. I waited till I got to my hotel and began the nomnom. Melon bread wasn't that different than conchas...I was sort of disappointed since I expected it to be like super good. The taste was similar to the concha but the bread was softer and the crusty things on top were harder and sweeter.

I ended up buying one more melon bread just because there was nothing better to eat haha. The crusty things don't fall off crumbling, which is a really good thing~ I sort of expected the melon bread to taste a bit like melons but it turns out it just tastes sweet and does not taste like melons at all xD.

without flash

Overall, it is good but not fantastic. I would rather eat other breads if I could but if melon bread was the only thing I had, I wouldn't complain about eating it. I give it a 7 out of 10.
