Love you always Christine! Your hair will be fine, the highlights are not too noticeable, don't worry! Keep up the great work! And yes, Chúc Mừng Năm Mới! (though a bit late) Hope to meet you soon =)
Regardless of what picture you bring or how you explain it. It all depends on the stylist's skills. For the times I've had my hair cut I don't always know before hand who I get or how long they've worked cause I don't stick to one salon. For me, I like to keep it simple and basic so at least I know they can do the cut right. I don't color my hair so I don't have to worry about that.
I always say Happy Chinese New Year, probably because I am from China, grew up in China, and this festival means so much to me. Lunar New Year would sound somewhat detached. After reading the comments, I just hope my way of greeting is not offensive or too egocentric for my friends. Afterall, it should be a cheerful and happy occasion. It is for me a great thing that we all share something in common despite of differences.
Hi Christine, I love your scarf and top and the way they go together so well :D Could you tell me where did you get them from? (sorry if you've replied to similar questions like this but I haven't seen any hehe) Thanks.
omg xteeener, please don't be ignorant. it's called chinese new year, because it was first celebrated by the chinese, they were one of the first civilizations...specifically the first asian civilization so yes, credit does go to the chinese! that was such an ignorant comment, but i still like your videos.
i actually recently dyed my hair with the clairol natural instincts, and sketched out about using the revitalizer, but i did. i was so scared at first cause i heard it turne dpeople's hair orange, and the cream came out as orange!! but all was good, it made my color more lively so it is good :)
Hi, Xteeener! I always have bad experiences with hair stylists... if I dare to do more than a haircut, I always get frustrated... this year, I paid a lot to get highlights and I couldn't stand it! The following day, I used too a semi-permanent hair color to fix it. Thank you for sharing this! People usually aren't brave to share these experiences if they're not anonymous. This is why you're one of my favourite gurus (the other is Jen, lol) since I subscribed to you channel, years ago! =D
Chuc mung nam moi to you too Christine. I hope this year bring you the best of the best, success, stay beautiful as you are, be healthy and continue to share the love of a make up guru :) sad to hear about your hair though, but at least you get to fix it :)
The Chinese didn't invent the lunar calendar. But, the "Jan 1st" of this calendar system is defined by the Chinese around 3000~3500 yrs go, and adopted by many other cultures, that's why many call it "Chinese new year". Indian "lunar calendar" holiday and their "Jan 1st" is actually in March, and that would also be technically called a "lunar new year" for them. But yes, the term for this particular Jan 1 is defined by ancient Chinese. I'm a world history major.
Oh my goodness don't think its vain to care about what your hair looks like.... Its a part of your personality and a drastic hair change affects everyone. I wanted my hair short after a while. It had gotten to the mid of my back but when I got it cut the lady chopped it to my chin! It was awful and I was really down because of it but I fixed it up eventually!
Just to clarify, it's called Chinese New Year, not because the Chinese reached America first. Neither is it because the Chinese are just greedy and wanted to claim everything to be theirs and be the first to claim it. They ARE the first based on historical records. Chinese New Year originated since 1700BC. That's like 3000 years ago. That's way before other Asian countries started following and celebrating it. It originated as a festival widely celebrated by the Chinese community.
@northernstarlite aren't vietnamese are the same thing with chinese? we shouldn't really take this too seriously..just go with the flow! just celebrate the lunar year. BUT, I couldn't agree with you MOReee..NORTHERNSTARLITE! most of vietnamese ppl that I know usually say that we are half chinese..so to me, it's really the same thing..other than that, we can use different asian languages to say "Happy New Year"..:)
@123cherrykoko No Vietnamese and Chinese are not the same. Same thing goes with American and Canadian, they share the border but they're not the same.
@123cherrykoko just because Chinese people ruled over our country (Vietnam) for 1k years DOESN'T mean that we are the same. Chinese and Vietnamese people are two different ethnic. half chinese is probably 50% chinese and other half by blood. or grew up in vietnam.
@123cherrykoko Yes, I believe most Vietnamese are Vietnamese Chinese. But I'm not sure why some of them aren't aware their ancestors are Chinese settlers who migrated to Vietnam.
@northernstarlite i don't know if "most Vietnamese are Vietnamese Chinese", but I know for sure that there are pure Vietnamese Vietnamese, "French Vietnamese" "American Vietnamese", and a lot more. Guess that's the result of the thousands years of invasion from various countries, including china.
@northernstarlite Source: Google Greek Calendar: By 13th century B.C. Greeks were using lunar calendar based on the visible new crescent. Later they also learnt intercalation to bring lunar calendar in phase with seasons and started using lunisolar calendar.
Chinese Calendar: Chinese also started using a lunisolar calendar with months beginning on the day of the new moon. There have been more than 50 calendar reforms since its inception in the 14th century
@chickenkiddy Chinese New Year has nothing to do with who invented the calendar first. Chinese New Year is a long festival mainly for families to reunite and it marks the start of spring. It just happens to coincide with the lunar calendar. So it DOES NOT mean the Greeks invented the festival, just because they invented the lunar calendar.
FYI. all east asian countries formulated in China, but with all the different dialects and lands to expand to, other cultures divided and created their own country instead. and the lunar calendar was created by the Chinese, so technically it is CHINESE NEW YEAR. get it right get it tight cuz you just offended a lot of people.
Oh and the color refreshers don't turn your hair "orange" the one that comes with black is a bright magenta, it just makes your color more vibrant until you re-dye. All that happens is my scalp gets stained that color for like 1 wash
I use natural instincts as my dye and I dye my hair with #36 black. I also chose it because it is less damaging without ammonia. It makes my hair sooo soft
I love, love, love your hair. You should not feel bad for caring about how you look. Bad dye jobs have happened to us all. You are one of the lucky that could be saved. Happy Lunar New Year to you too.
i actually like the quality already! it's really improved since your first videos.
but since ur looking for a new camera, i kno that no dlsr autofocuses, so ur better off with a point and shoot or camcorder. the most expensive camcorders autofocus w/ best quality, and pricey but affordable point and shoots do the same, but i prefer camcorders :)
Omg!! Omg! I went through the same thing but worse!! I have asian hair and I wanted highlights, so like 4 days before new year, went into the local salon and asked for red-brown-mahogany. Just the kind of red that would only appear in the sunlight. that subtle. So I asked the lady for them and I was so confident that it'll look fantastic. But in the end, I walked out with BRIGHT PINK hair!!!!!!! BRIGHT PINK!! how the hell do u get like neon pink from red-ish brown??? She kept telling me that it
the l'oreal casting creme gloss is also semi permanent and i love using it because my hair always feels so nourished after using it (as compared to my experience with Revlon T_T dry as hay). It doesn't give that regrowth line too because its semi permanent heh ;)
Happy Lunar New Year~ Chuc Mung Nam Moi, Christine :D ehehe I dislike the fact that everyone calls it Chinese New Year when there are other countries celebrating it too. Thank you for noting the fact that Vietnamese, Japanese, Koreans, Taiwanese, & etc. celebrate it too.
@appyo902 So in order to save face, you suddenly know what I heard when I heard it, with or without explanation? I mistakenly thought you made the comment after her explanation, since you didn't delete it and a lot of other commenters still didn't get it. I'M SO SORRY. No need to be a dick.
Demi perminant is all you should ever use on your hair! NEVER use permenant!!! If you are going to color your own hair, i suggest going to sallys and just buying the tubes of demi dye and get the developer.. :)
Dont you have one specific person that does your hair? The girl that does my hair has been doing it for like 7 years or so.. Since highschool... Shes great and if i dont like it or the highlights are too much or two little she will have me come back and fix it no charge (as it should be)...
heyy thanx for posting. I was scared of using drugstore hair dye but it turned out good for you so ima try that next time instead spending much moolla at the salon.
heyy thanx for posting. I was scared of using drugstore hair dye but it turned out good for you so ima try that next time instead spending much moolla at the salon.
Chuc Mung Nam Moi 2 you too, Christine! There's no reason 2 be offended over what Christine said. She just tried 2 explain that Chinese r not the only ones that celebrate Lunar New Year. I totally understand where she's coming from. There aren't many Asians where i work at, n someone once asked y i'm celebrating Chinese New Year when i'm not even Chinese. Then 2day on FB n Twitter, there were so many tweets n posts saying Happy Chinese New Year b/c Lunar NY is commonly known as Chinese New Year.
The Chinese didn't invent the lunar calendar. But, the "Jan 1st" of this calendar system is defined by the Chinese around 3000~3500 yrs go, and adopted by many other cultures, that's why many call it "Chinese new year".

But yes, the term for this particular Jan 1 is defined by ancient Chinese. I'm a world history major.
I am not offended..but I did want to slightly correct her. Dont take this as me hating on her. I love Christine!! :) Anyway, I did a presentation on the way back dynasties of china in the BC era& CNY started in like the Shang Dynasty. Was called the Spring Festival as a time for families to get together & celebrate & for sons to meet their future wives. &Of course, It's developed to what it is now. Its a fun celebration &I dont think anyone should get too rallied up about it! Enjoy :)
@ohemjehnns I think Christine is right in terms of the Lunar New Year is commonly known as the Chinese New Year here in the US just because the Chinese were first to celebrate the new year on this land. If I'm not mistaken, Lunar New Year is based on the Lunar calendar which was first used by ancient Greek people.
@chickenkiddy OH! Well then yes, that does make sense too. I was just kinda bringing it back to the wholeeee Ancient China thing and where it originated back in those times! haha. But yeah, I do see how you are right in terms of it being first celebrated here by the Chinese! :) ..I think lol I didnt do my research on that, but I see you have :)
happy lunar new year! :) i don't see the offense... lunar new year just denotes the date according to the calendar. chinese/korean/vietnamese/insert other culture new year means how that particular may celebrate it. in whatever culture, we never point out ourselves. it's other people who do... i'm chinese and we don't say "chinese new year" we just say "new year." in english, that's how it got translated b/c any non-celebrators had to somehow separate the day from their own new year.
If you watch Christine enough you'd know last year she appeared shy about saying Happy New Year in Viet and she did that embarrassed laugh too, just like she did here.
From the context, she was trying to explain why the holiday is known as "Chinese New Year" and it was enough for me understand that she wasn't trying to be offensive, even though the words aren't best. For all the offendeds here, chill. I'm Viet and Chinese people want to speak Cantonese to me all the time. I'm not offended.
omg your vietnamese is sooo good, christine!! chuc mung nam moi, nam moi phat tai to youu!! i hope the year of the dragon is a good one for you!!
by the way, maybe you should consider dyeing your hair by yourself! it seems like you've had some rotten luck with salons :( but it turned out really well this time!! and i like your current hair length a lot :)
Last year I had a Chinese friend on facebook and that sucker think that Chinese "invented" the Lunar new year. And I was so fuckin' annoyed and offended. Anyway, Chuc mung nam moi! It's funny because since yesterday the foreign customers at the restaurant I'm working in started to say "Chuc mung nam moi" too, and they're very good at saying it :).

hmm...in English it is called Chinese new year but when we said it Chinese, it is not. we said happy new year. the word Chinese is not included. American called it Chinese new year! idk y.
So funny how people are getting all offended by something she DIDN'T even say... I mean by the context is pretty obvious she wasn't offending anyone plus she is one the nicest people here in yt... It seems like people just love getting offended for some reason, they just want to argue about I guess XD
well some other parts of Asia like Vietnam, Korea, etc. they also celebrate the day as well...and they don't call it "Chinese" new year.. just call it Lunar new year.
Don't feel vain for not liking your hair. I feel the same way about my hair. I color my own hair and have freaked out if I see a picture of myself and it looks bad. Hope it all works out for you.
Omg I totally understand the hair thing! I've been trying to get my hair back to the way I had it originally for months now! It's not bad now but it was such a pian and I stopped filming for like 2 weeks lol
awww... i'm so sorry that that happened to you with your hair. I don't think its silly at all that you are so bothered by it. I've had bad haircuts/ hair dye jobs before and it does suck a lot cuz you are constanstly reminded of you whenever you look into a mirror.
I've personally been highlighting my own hair since my past highlights at the salon got me nowwhere.
Also, i know that sally's has a lot more options for semipermanent hair dye if you are still interested.
For anyone to think you were intentionally trying to be offensive is ridiculous. I heard you softly say "I." I just asked my mom tonight if the Chinese were the only ones who celebrated it or if other Asians do too. I'm Chinese and I didn't know the Vietnamese, Koreans, and Japanese do too. Easy mistake, everyone learns.
i didnt show any picture when i cut my hair but i gave exactly how many inches i want it to be cut. just say like "shorten the back 3 in, dont give too much layers, and keep my bangs long" and the result is exactly like i pictured in my mind :D of course, i've known the hairdresser for ages :D
happy year-of-the-dragon! its also chinese new year in where i am :)
@xteeener - you should tell them you want FULL highlights. That means they do thin strips of highlights throughout so it's more blended and they use a toner to balance it. Otherwise, they give you the chunky highlight that you got. Hope that helps!
Dont worry about the negative comments, if one has been watching your videos long enough one would have known what you really meant. (just saying, not intending to offend any first timer here) I'm Chinese and I dot feel offended in any sense. Happy CNY!
There are multiple names for every holiday...... Chinese New Year is just another name for the Lunar New Year, Spring Festival, Vietnamese New Year, ETC., and who really knows the reason?? It shouldn't matter anyways.
@SarrahLoraiinee it really shouldnt matter but if someone is gonna come out n say chinese think they came to the states first and it offends people, it does matter
@appyo902 but the point is, she had no malicious intent... especially to something she didn't even say! so yeah, we figured it out after she clarified it, but are you going to hold every single person accountable for something YOU didn't hear?
@appyo902 It's no one's fault. She didn't mean what everyone thought she didn't say, and you didn't mean to not hear her. Honest mistakes, so let it go.
i think i've gotten like 3 haircuts i've been completely satisfied with
i know that feeling of shock when you hate a haircut but you still have to try to contain your horrified facial expression to be polite...and try not to cry LOL
i suggest getting a micro four-thirds camera! it's in between a digital camera and a dslr. it's basically a digital camera with a lense. i currently have the panasonic lumix gf3 and i LOVE it. the video quality is rather good and it is so much better than a regular digital camera. this type of camera is really popular in asia and its only starting to get popular here. happy camera hunting! :)
That revitalizer turned my hair kind of orange too! Even with a cool-toned dye the revitalizer was very red, it was strange...I would definitely not recommend using that.
You're one of the beauty gurus out there who stay real and are genuinely sweet!! Been with you for a few years now and I'm far from thinking to unsubscribe. Love you!
one time, my stylist didn't really understand what i was saying and didn't bother to ask me to explain again, so she ended up cutting off 3 inches more than i wanted. by the time i realized what she was doing it was too late. i cried for hours, ahaha. i didn't have long hair to begin with so i looked like a boy :(
so don't feel silly about being so affected by your hair! it happens to all of us :)
@weDOmakeup :( hair takes so long to grow but can soooo easily be chopped off! i hatee when they cut the back first and you don't really know what's going on back there
@xteeener I don't understand why you're getting so many negative comments o.O I love videos like these! I hope you can vlog more often :D Even if it's a little late, can you do a best products of 2011 video! I'd love to see what you picked! xoxo
yea, not all stylist pay attention to how we want our haircut. I paid over $170 for a haircut and it was the worst hair cut/dye. After that, I decided NEVER to dye my hair again from that salon.
Um I'm not sure what you meant... The reason lunar new year is commonly known as Chinese new year is because the Chinese think they came to the states first? What exactly does former have anything to do with the latter? I'm Chinese and I'm offended. If you had wanted to make the point that we aren't the only ones who celebrate the lunar new year you could have left it at that and not have added such an opinionated statement about another ethnicity.
@mnbvc928 ah i can see the misunderstanding here! "is because the Chinese, "I" think they came to the states first" I don't think I clearly said "I" which is my bad! but in no way would i try to be offensive 0_o i'm dating a Chinese guy for goodness sakes lol sorry for not speaking as clearly as I should :)
@mnbvc928 Yeah i agree, i was also offended at first. Idk if it was because of her tone or that chuckle but yeah... And also just because your dating a chinese guy that doesn't mean anything. its like saying im dating a ______ guy so that doesn't make me racist.
@mnbvc928 you know what?..get OVER yourself. that's the problem with people today... getting offended about ANYTHING! she's a good girl. leave her alone.

the l'oreal casting creme gloss is also semi permanent and i love using it because my hair always feels so nourished after using it (as compared to my experience with Revlon T_T dry as hay). It doesn't give that regrowth line too because its semi permanent heh ;)

Happy Lunar New Year~ Chuc Mung Nam Moi, Christine :D ehehe I dislike the fact that everyone calls it Chinese New Year when there are other countries celebrating it too. Thank you for noting the fact that Vietnamese, Japanese, Koreans, Taiwanese, & etc. celebrate it too.

@appyo902 So in order to save face, you suddenly know what I heard when I heard it, with or without explanation? I mistakenly thought you made the comment after her explanation, since you didn't delete it and a lot of other commenters still didn't get it. I'M SO SORRY. No need to be a dick.

Demi perminant is all you should ever use on your hair! NEVER use permenant!!! If you are going to color your own hair, i suggest going to sallys and just buying the tubes of demi dye and get the developer.. :)

Chuc Mung Nam Moi 2 you too, Christine! There's no reason 2 be offended over what Christine said. She just tried 2 explain that Chinese r not the only ones that celebrate Lunar New Year. I totally understand where she's coming from. There aren't many Asians where i work at, n someone once asked y i'm celebrating Chinese New Year when i'm not even Chinese. Then 2day on FB n Twitter, there were so many tweets n posts saying Happy Chinese New Year b/c Lunar NY is commonly known as Chinese New Year.

The Chinese didn't invent the lunar calendar. But, the "Jan 1st" of this calendar system is defined by the Chinese around 3000~3500 yrs go, and adopted by many other cultures, that's why many call it "Chinese new year". Indian "lunar calendar" holiday and their "Jan 1st" is actually in March, and that would also be technically called a "lunar new year" for them. But yes, the term for this particular Jan 1 is defined by ancient Chinese. I'm a world history major.

I am not offended..but I did want to slightly correct her. Dont take this as me hating on her. I love Christine!! :) Anyway, I did a presentation on the way back dynasties of china in the BC era& CNY started in like the Shang Dynasty. Was called the Spring Festival as a time for families to get together & celebrate & for sons to meet their future wives. &Of course, It's developed to what it is now. Its a fun celebration &I dont think anyone should get too rallied up about it! Enjoy :)

@ohemjehnns I think Christine is right in terms of the Lunar New Year is commonly known as the Chinese New Year here in the US just because the Chinese were first to celebrate the new year on this land. If I'm not mistaken, Lunar New Year is based on the Lunar calendar which was first used by ancient Greek people.

@chickenkiddy OH! Well then yes, that does make sense too. I was just kinda bringing it back to the wholeeee Ancient China thing and where it originated back in those times! haha.

happy lunar new year! :) i don't see the offense... lunar new year just denotes the date according to the calendar. chinese/korean/vietnamese/insert other culture new year means how that particular may celebrate it. in whatever culture, we never point out ourselves. it's other people who do... i'm chinese and we don't say "chinese new year" we just say "new year." in english, that's how it got translated b/c any non-celebrators had to somehow separate the day from their own new year.

If you watch Christine enough you'd know last year she appeared shy about saying Happy New Year in Viet and she did that embarrassed laugh too, just like she did here.
From the context, she was trying to explain why the holiday is known as "Chinese New Year" and it was enough for me understand that she wasn't trying to be offensive, even though the words aren't best. For all the offendeds here, chill. I'm Viet and Chinese people want to speak Cantonese to me all the time. I'm not offended.

awww... i'm so sorry that that happened to you with your hair. I don't think its silly at all that you are so bothered by it. I've had bad haircuts/ hair dye jobs before and it does suck a lot cuz you are constanstly reminded of you whenever you look into a mirror.
I've personally been highlighting my own hair since my past highlights at the salon got me nowwhere.
Also, i know that sally's has a lot more options for semipermanent hair dye if you are still interested.

For anyone to think you were intentionally trying to be offensive is ridiculous. I heard you softly say "I." I just asked my mom tonight if the Chinese were the only ones who celebrated it or if other Asians do too. I'm Chinese and I didn't know the Vietnamese, Koreans, and Japanese do too. Easy mistake, everyone learns.

i didnt show any picture when i cut my hair but i gave exactly how many inches i want it to be cut. just say like "shorten the back 3 in, dont give too much layers, and keep my bangs long" and the result is exactly like i pictured in my mind :D of course, i've known the hairdresser for ages :D
happy year-of-the-dragon! its also chinese new year in where i am :)
vaniapradipta 1 month ago
@xteeener - you should tell them you want FULL highlights. That means they do thin strips of highlights throughout so it's more blended and they use a toner to balance it. Otherwise, they give you the chunky highlight that you got. Hope that helps!
Happy new year and I wish you all the best!

Um I'm not sure what you meant... The reason lunar new year is commonly known as Chinese new year is because the Chinese think they came to the states first? What exactly does former have anything to do with the latter? I'm Chinese and I'm offended. If you had wanted to make the point that we aren't the only ones who celebrate the lunar new year you could have left it at that and not have added such an opinionated statement about another ethnicity.
