Everyone will find their calling at some point in their lives. Robert Lobetta was no different. He saw himself as an artist. Yet his journey took him for a ride, and he found his true calling. He found the inspiration to be a hairdresser and now, he is inspiring other hairdressers. H4ufme brings you an exclusive interview with the legend himself:
TELL US WHY YOU WANTED TO BECOME A HAIRSTYLIST?
I didn't want to become a hairstylist, I wanted to go to art college and do art. However, my father disapproved and because he was by trade in fashion and hair, he wanted me to join him. In those days, your parents were in control and you did whatever they said, so that was how I got started. For the first few years, I really didn’t like it, in fact, I hated it so much I wanted to get out of hairdressing, but for some strange reason something happened and it all turned around. I had this realisation that doing hair can be an artistic expression, so it wasn’t so much I found the inspiration to be a hairdresser, but rather that I was inspired to do things artistic, and as I progressed further into doing hairdressing, I learned that I could be exceedingly artistic in the world of hair.
Once I learned to understand that hair was just a medium of art it changed my whole perspective on how I would do art in the future and how it(hair and art) would be bound to one another.
That’s how I got my start.

Summer Hair Care
Just as the sun damages your skin, it can damage your hair too. Saltwater and chlorine also take a toll on our tresses. A few weeks into summer, hair that was once shiny and easily managed looks and feels fried. Hair damage is most obvious when we see colourtreated hair becoming faded, bleached, and brassy. Even hair that isn't coloured will suffer from suninduced stress. Those UV rays dry out hair and rough up the normally smooth cuticle of the hair shaft.
Why Is Your Hair Dry?

The Singaporean Hair Dressing Industry
I’ve always liked to link the food and beverages industry to the hair industry as they both have very humble beginnings, both driven by passionate people and both employ people from all skill levels. However, the general population has a vastly different perception, with the main distinction that they eat 2-3 times a day while only visiting a salon once a month, or even once a year, they have very little interest in the hair industry.
