A Very Hairy Background
If I have all the patience in the world, I will dedicate most of it to my hair, which is why I only have my hair tied up almost all the time. Shoot me but I've had my fair share of hair-straightening, rebonding and probably all hair-ironing-related activity (torture). I even bought myself a flat-iron and still entertains the though of buying a good hair iron brand on very bad hair days and/or very kikay days. And for almost 7 years, I was a constant hair-straightening customer. Couldn't even believe it's that long.
In early 2011, I cut my hair real short, never felt so good in a long while, and maintained a short 'do for a year. Last year, my hair started growing and I had it straightened again while at its awkward length (that ear-length awkwardness wherein one is left groping how to deal with flying hairs everywhere). I didn't like it, straightening my hair again was a bad idea, I knew it, but I did it anyway (I am stubborn like that, sabid). These treatments cost money normally and to have itchy scalp and dandruff (again, since this always happens everytime I have my hair straightened at a salon) is not the wisest way to spend money, I see you nodding in agreement and we're off to a good start. I was quite hesitant to have the treatment in the first place because the not-so-nice feeling of strong chemicals applied on my head to straighten my hair is all too familiar but I did it anyway (sabid) and regretted my decision (beh buti nga).
So this year, I am keen on having no more hair regrets and decided to keep growing my hair, and slowly explore different ways to manage it, naturally (i.e. without costly chemical-based treatments, please I beg thee). If you are a girl and of generally fun-loving, un-superficial, curious and of experimental nature, come and fret with me on this hair journey. The aim is to find natural and cost-free (as much as possible) ways to take care of our hair, feel pretty and have a bunch of fun while exploring. Taralets bagets!
