If you are a long-time reader of my blog, you can probably pinpoint how OC I am when it comes to my hair! I've written about my money-saving elementary days just to buy a nice bottle of hair serum (when hair serums aren't even well-known back then!). Yes, I have issues with my hair, my natural hair is so unique most hairstylists I visit would always say ---
"You have smooth hair but it looks frizzy, I can't explain your hair!"
"With your type of hair, the solution will always be rebond or Keratin-treatment"
"You have fine hair but since each strand is frizzy, you seem to have a head full of hair!"
"You better invest for a monthly hair treatment because your hair is extremely dead!"
OUCH ha! (Sakit niyo magsalita) :P
But instead of dwelling on my imperfections. I've realized, I just have to face it and maybe look for solutions! The solution came in actually more than a decade after, when I started working to spend more on hair care products.
And speaking about facing what I have, my quick solution was, to go for a hairstyle that works for my hair type. That brought me back to my "hair history". It has always been a bob cut with bangs. Can you spot me? (Of course you can, encircled it for you!)
Cute di ba? :P
I maintained that cut until I college, it has always been above-the-shoulder cut with bangs and it has to be "layered" in a way so it won't look thick! I visit the same hairstylist for years and that's how I worked through the awkward hair stage and actually survived without people realizing it!
