My "Hairscapades"
When a girl wants to revamp her current look the easiest thing to change about her appearance is her hairstyle. Because cutting hair doesn’t hurt physically and comes with insurance (it grows back eventually!) it's easier to take the calculated risk compared so say, getting a nose or boob job.But me, ever the late bloomer had a saloon-virgin head of crowning glory (virgin= undyed, unbleached, unpermed, unstraightened, untreated in a hair saloon) till I was 24. Then the urge for a different look rather than just long hair with short fringe, long hair with long fringe, long layered hair with either short or long fringe *yawn* became just too hard to ignore anymore.
So on a sudden brave rather out-of-character whim, I got highlights in a daring shade of red much to my mother’s displeasure and recrimination as some of you will remember. And just like that, hair virginity lost, I embarked on a hairy adventure and have never looked back since. (Chewah!! =D)
Next, I jumped onto the bandwagon (a little later than everyone else as usual) of the super straight, super sleek curtain look that had been oh-so in the rage for the past year. And stuck with it for a while.
And then one day I got bored of the flat, limp look and decided that short was the new long.
To be honest, having short hair is kinda cool.
Short hair air dries faster, is easier to comb, your shampoo and conditioner lasts longer, you shed less hair all over your bed and all over your house, it's low-maintenance (except for the constant need for trimming) and your head feels lighter and "airier."
But that being said, short hair equals to no flipping of hair across the shoulder, no twirly action with the finger thing that they tell you is so flirty and attractive in fashion magazines and no hair gently blowing in the breeze...:(
But who needs all that? Right?And even if one day I decide I do, hair grows back! *phew*
Haha, anyway, this is my latest Victoria Beckham-inspired bob hairstyle. I got bored of my previous crop. Was thinking of going back to having long hair but many people told me that short hair suits me.
So what’s next? Perm maybe cause it's something I've never tried yet because I worry I will look too aunty.
Maybe in 5 years time...

YOU LOOK GREAT! okay lar, though i can't see you face here, but i can IMAGINE this hair cut is SO YOU!!!

See, i'm silly again. What's new!?
Try perm, it's not permanent too. IF u do severely not like the perm head, there's always STRAIGHTENING... like what i did :P
Or curls? :P Will look so salah come to think of it, heh heh. Must show us new look one day!
If you want to perm, wait till your hair is much much longer. So if anything goes wrong, you can still tie your hair up. :)
nice hair! *hee!*
