Bad Hair Day

For the first time in my life, I had my hair permed. I was actually going for the bohemian goddess look (think Kate Hudson) but I ended up with the Sto. Niño look... or worse... the Ugly Betty look. Thank god, I have no braces.

Now, why would anyone want to have curly hair when every Filipina seems to want long, straight, shiny black hair? I don't know... I guess I just wanted to be different... try something new. I was getting extremely tired of my hairstyle. I've always worn my hair either extremely short or long but tied up in a pony tail.

Nope, I wasn't blessed with long, straight, black hair. Mine is wavy, not so black, and not shiny. I've tried having it relaxed but the waves return after a while; and my hair stylist said my hair strands are too thin to be subjected to rebonding.

Yep... but apparently it was okay to subject it to perming. The result - an even frizzier hair... and yes, the love of my life was right in saying that it didn't help improve the way I look. Damn. And, I spent a couple of thousand pesos on it. [sigh]
