How My Hair Changes Through Time

in Hive PH3 years ago

As a woman, one of the first things that people notice in us is our hair. In some way, some people say that our hair has something to say about our personality and identity. How true is it?😊

I have a natural curly hair. I seldom let loose my hair because it looks dry and thick. I always had it in ponytail or braided because it makes me sweat more and become uncomfortable due to its thick strand. Even if it's wet, I had to tie it.

When I started working in a private company where I had to stay in air-conditioned offices, I tried to let loose my hair. I could freely do this because it didn't make me uncomfortable anymore.

My colleagues back then were all complimenting my hair, how it looked naturally black and curled. They always told me to untie my hair and let it freely showcase its natural curls. Some wanted to have my kind of hair. Others were telling me to keep it that way, to be unique, to be one of the not-so-many people who got hair like mine. I followed their advise. True enough, it boosted my confidence. A lot of students and bosses noticed me easily because of my hair. That's an edge, I think. I could simply leave a mark by having this hair.(But I am more than just my hair. Wink!)

When I started working in public school, I faced again the same struggles I had with my hair. Going to school via motorcycle, I had to tie my hair even if it was still wet and had it untied when I arrived back home, late in the afternoon. This happened for more than a year and as oldies said, tying our hair wet will lead us to have numerous white hair. And that happened to me. White hair is visible already. Aside from that, I started to feel an unexplained headache which turned out to be a migraine. They said this is because of me tying my hair wet.

When my sister got home from another country, she asked me to have my hair rebonded. (I will never spend too much just to change myself, that was my mindset years ago.) So since she offered, I said yes. Hahaha.

So this was my hair after the first rebond.

Neighbors were shocked. Hahaha. Others liked it, some did not because they prefer the natural curly hair. Their words didn't matter to me as I was thinking of getting something new for myself.

After a year, I had it rebonded again and again and again. And I had let it grow and then cut it the shortest.

I was relieved from all the discomfort and the inconvenience my natural curly hair brought to me but I still miss it, even until now.😊

MY THOUGHTS

Ladies, our hair is our accessory and one of our assets. We have to take care of it. If having it curl makes you feel unique, do it. If having it straight and bouncy makes you feel extra beautiful, do it. If cutting it short makes you feel a lot more independent and empowered, feel free do it. Regardless of what type of hair we have, we are humans, possessing individual uniqueness, beauty, and personality.

Never pa ko nagpakulot, pero bet ko itry someday for a change haha

Sometimes, it's cool to experiment oneself as to what style fits us. Ahhaha including the hair.😊

My little girl also has her natural wavy hair and it's really a struggle combing it after her bath. She once told me to have it straightened like my hair and I just told her that her hair is uniquely beautiful! Maybe someday when she grows up.. hehe
But you look good with either style Ma'am.hehe

There are lots of products already available for curly hair maam. Dili na lisud ampingan in ana klase na buhok. Before, I just comb my hair once, after bath rajud. Hehe. I miss my hair already. I am torn between keeping these natural curls or have it rebonded again.

Unique gyud kaayo maam.😊

I would have loved to have that curly hair too! Perhaps in my next life. But good for you for not letting others thoughts or opinions about your rebonded hair get to you! What is important is that you feel really good about what style you currently have! Curious what's your hair care now? 😉

What is important is that you feel really good about what style you currently have!

Absolutely true Miss.😊 It's nice to experience change of look once in a while without hurting other people's pocket. Haha. I don't have an expensive hair care Miss but I manage to have conditioner everyday.

Thank you for leaving a message Miss. This means a lot.🥰

I have a curly and super buhaghag with thick strands kind of hair. So rebonded it too. I feel more confident and beautiful that way so yeah... Spending for it at least once in a year is worth the confidence boost.

True maam @bluepark !😊 Pero I think it's normal to still miss that hair. Hehe

😊😉👍 yup! u are lucky to have such nice hair! My favorite look is the braided ponytail. Long hair looks so pretty! 🌈✨✨

Ohhh thank you😊 all types of hair are beautiful.😊

😉👍

I love your curly hair Nenetz. But you still look good and pretty in any hairstyle you have.😍

Aweeeehhh❤️ thanks smi🥰

Ako sis natural wavy hair, kung saan Ang ponytail soon din Ang wave nya. Always nakatali din kasi super buhaghag hehehe.

Never ko pa natry magpa rebond, Wala pang budget for it hehehe, pero if like you may mag offer for free, I will grab din siguro hehehe.

Hehehe. Pwede mo din itry magparebond maam, for a change.

Wala pang budget para dyan eh hehehe.. needs first na lang Muna hehehe

Baka may magsponsor..ehehhe

Years ago before I got married, I used to have long rebonded hair. I have a wavy hair. When I had our first child, I had a pixie haircut and I let it stay that way for a couple of years. Then I started to let it grow long. Now I am planning to have a pixie haircut again hahah.

As you said, whatever suits your mood then just let it be. Nindot man ang straight nimo sis, nindot pud and curls. so bisan asa lang. ug unsa imong feel. 😁

Ohhh, salamat kaayo maam @me2selah 🤗 grabe baya kaayo akong bilib sa mga woman na nagpixie haircut. Feel nako strong and empowered kaayo.🥰

It's important to make choices based on our own preferences rather than relying on the opinions of others. Both hairstyles suit you well! 🫶🏼

Ohhh thank you @cthings 😊
There is no need for outside approval, as long as we're not stepping on someone else's foot.🤗

A great post! Yes, the hair is already important as a woman. You should just feel comfortable with it. I also have rather full hair, which is why I sweat more in the summer when I leave it open, know there this discomfort.
Love greetings:)

You should just feel comfortable with it.

True enough. Regardless of our hair type, we have to be confident. And we too, can make choices for ourselves.

Thank you for leaving a message.😊
