My Hair Story

March 11, 2016 by Jae Leave a Comment

Hi. So naturally, I have straight black hair and ever since I was small, I never really like tying my hair up. I would always run away from my mom and cry. Up to now, I still don’t like to tie my hair up but I don’t run away and cry just because of that lol! (imagine) Plus, I never learned how to tie my hair until I was in college because I had to since I was taking nursing. (Or maybe i just don’t want to learn..that’s different). So anyways, So you know my usual hair style is plain and i like my hair loose until I had my first heartbreak that I tried different hair styles, perm it, dye it, yeah try anything..just to feel good and look good. in short, I lost my hair’s virginity (heh heh!)

Moving forward, So my hair is no longer a virgin and after perming and dyeing it so many times, it became super brittle and dry. I had to go to salon for treatment and it’s too pricey (what i’m no rich kid). Lesson: It’s too expensive to have your heart I mean your hair fixed 😛 But no regrets I looked gooooddd hehehhehe. But yeah still never learned my lesson and worst, I became obsessed with hair dyes.. and I know it’s an unhealthy obsession. They say you can dye your hair twice a year and no more than that (ask an expert, I’m not one).

So from damaging my hair, i had to chop it off and made a promise that I will forever take good care of my hair. I get too scared of getting bald too because I noticed my hair is thinning probably because of stress? or could be the hair products. Any suggestions? So right now these are the things that I do for my hair:

  1. I started taking Biotin (they say it’s good for your hair but just a trial)
  2. I don’t wash my hair everyday (I know for Filipinos, this is haaaarrrdd) they say wash it twice a week but I’m doing it every other day because it’s torture.
  3. I had to use shampoo that’s suitable for my hair (I am currently trying the salon shampoos since I’ve had bad experiences with the commercial shampoos) Some anti-dandruff shampoos cause too much hair fall (from my experience)
  4. Every time I shampoo my hair, I use cold water and I count 60/1 minute
  5. I use wide tooth comb when combing my hair when it’s wet and I try to avoid using hair dryers
  6. I like using the Goody paddle brush to give my hair volume once it’s dry
  7. Plus the argan oil for hair to give my hair some love 😉

And my hair continues to live happily ever after…Peace Out 🙂
