Hair rebonding+ color + bleach (for highlights), and beach swimming damage my hair. Should I embrace my Curls, then?
As for us Ladies, our hair serves as the crowning glory. Most of the time, it gives us much confidence, and we always feel beautiful once our hair is taken care of. Or it could be it goes the way we wanted. Unlike men, we have different hairstyles that should vary depending on the occasion or OOTD (outfit of the day).
Luckily, it was no longer a problem, but it was way back during my teenage years! I wasn't blessed with a beautiful crown; I mean hair. Mine was curly and a little bit kinky! Not only was it was so deceiving as it looked thick, but the truth is it wasn't. I remember back then, I was constantly teased that a cat's tail was thicker than my hair once it was on a pony! That made me insecure, and I vouched not to tie it again. Which made my Mom always mad as she said I looked like a witch 🤣. This was my routine until I graduated from High school (ready for college). I am not even fond of combing it; I don't care how I look.
Fast forward to college days, I started to act like a lady and would negotiate with my sisters to pay for salon services for hair relaxing - this was the cheapest as rebonding was so expensive back then as I was the one taking care their kids!
Somehow, I was contented as it could be tame though it only lasted for months. After that, no more glow up! Back to dull, dry hair. There was even a time when I was living with my cousin, and I woke up early in the morning. The room was dim, and I almost shouted when I faced the mirror! It closed off, giving me a heart attack, only to realize it was my reflection.
So when I started working, visiting a salon at least once a year as part of the routine, naturally, I had black hair.

However, as humans, we don't have that contentment sometimes, and hair coloring, bleaching and highlights were a trend year ago. As I was bored and stressed due to the pandemic, I decided to avail of hair services for rebond + color + bleach (for highlights)! I know, supposed bleaching wasn't allowed for rebonded hair, but I was hard-headed! I got what I wanted!

I was overjoyed after the hairstylist was done and had that feeling of beautiful the moment I stepped out!
No need to spend some money for vitress and combing from time to time to tame my hair. Finger comb was even enough!
But then, last September 2022, I took a vacation and went home to my hometown. An island somewhere in the Visayas. Beach was free and tempting; I wasn't able to resist!
Enjoy now; suffer later! Sometimes, that is my motto in life. I don't want to think of consequences as long as I am enjoying the moment, always grabbing the opportunity as sometimes it knocks only once as they say!
That vacation was truly a blast, as it lasted a month. Going back to reality also hit me that my hair was damaged.
Months ago, I underwent hair treatment, but I added hair color again. It was fine until last weekend during the recent trip at treasure mountain. I noticed that my hair resembles with Moana!
The price I got those chemicals was applied to my hair!
My companion told me it was cute and I should embrace my curls. Really? Before you say that, too, take a look at this one;
I sent this photo of mine in our family group chat, and my siblings teased me that I got lion hair.
Yes, having curly hair was nice at times, but taming or maintaining, it was hard. It needs a lot of effort.
Thus. I am also reconsidering letting my old hair grow and having some hair treatments.
How about you? How was your hair? 😁

I also rebond my every once a year. I am not blessed with long shiny hair. My hair is buhaghag. I would love to try curls but I want the big curls. The lion look good on you but I think straight is better.
Haha Akala ko aswang sis eh, ako pala

For us women, hair is a matter of great concern. We take care of our hair, we apply creams, and we hope it will always be shiny and healthy, but sometimes that is not achieved and our martyrdom begins.
I agree and I felt ugly now because of my Moana hair 🤣🤣.

Walang makakapigil! 🤣
I used to go to the salon once a year to get my hair rebonded, but now, I just embrace thy wavy hair. 🤣 Straight tapos pawavy na sa dulo haha. Parang ganito yung nasa left Source
I bleached my hair last year, my gosh, never again! It is very tedious to maintain and expensive! Hay... Well, okay at least I tried bleaching my hair once in my life. 🤣
Naman! Motto was bakit ba, babayaran ko naman so that's what happen, sabog 🤣
Ganda Naman Ng wavy, bili na lng curler, lol or baka pwede na vitress na lng 😁.

All my life I suffered for my hair. Here the cool thing is to have straight hair and my hair is very, very curly. Since I was a child I have been on hair treatments, straightening, blow-drying, flat irons, and so on, until one day I said you know what, enough is enough. And now I wear my hair natural. Sometimes I have it better or worse depending on the time I have to take care of it, but I assumed it, it's my hair, that's how it is. And I have started to like it the way it is :)
That's what I am also thinking, why not embrace my natural hair as aside from maintaining it was also expensive 🤣.
How much do we spend in the salon?
I saw your hair in one of your pictures and it suited you.😊
Yeah, that's the point. We should embrace what we have, and not exhaust ourselves fighting against nature, haha.
And thank you 😉😊♥️
Yay, true, but as of the moment, honestly I am 60% convinced to grow my natural hair instead of going to the salon.but, lol
Hubby is going home in the next month, so maybe I need to be confidently beautiful 😁🤣.
Hehe, well someday you will get to 100%, and yes the most important thing is that you are convinced and feel confident. So in the meantime, until you get to that 100%, to be confidently beautiful, you'll have to go to the salon 😂 Good luck:)
Haha, oo, need to be pretty 😂 and irresistible.😁
Gosh what I am talking about.
Have a nice Day Coquicoin, and it was nice talking with you

I love the motto of yours actually 🤣
Troubles are never ever going to end so it's always nice to enjoy the moments of happiness we see
Great post dear

Hah, we don't know how long we live, so sometimes YOLO applies 😜😁
That's a great mindset towards life
so strange how so few women are happy with their hair. It's blonde, they want brunette; curly, they want straight; short, they want it long...
finding what your hair does naturally and looking for ways to accomodate that will make your days easier, and your hair appointments less expensive
Haha you are right, we women most of the time don't settle with what our hair was!

I definitely don't do anything special with my hair, as a guy, if it grows longer I grow less secure. But about your hair, you should try to find a routine to get your curl on. If you have well taken care of curls, you will be a lion in the truest sense. You will have a crown upon your head that others will be jealous of.
Hehe, curling yes, if I have enough time but most of all, I am too lazy to do that.
Men, well you guys could spend less time with your hair!
!PIZZA
I get to see LEO lion hair again!
Popped in from dreemport tonight, and I see you got the picture uploaded in dreemport now, woohoo!
Haha, Leo lion hair! Like that term but still doesn't like my hair!
Hehe you taught me how to upload photos in dreemport right?
It would be shameful if I still didn't get it 😄
