During my younger days (ages 3-9 years), I have basic straight hair. But when my tita discovered the magical world of Pagoda Cold Wave Lotion and plastic rollers with matching wax paper square sheets, my bangs suddenly puffed and I modeled the poodle hair. A few days months after when my hair got longer, my tita got bored and decided to curl the ends of my hair. Tadan...then I become poodle again, upgraded version. Note that my sister and cousins also fashion the same hairstyle. We pretty much welcomed our tita's new hobby.
Years passed, I became older, my hair's former straight and smooth texture was never restored. After many failed attempts of hot oil and treatment, the fizziness and waviness never disappeared. I had the most boring hairstyle from 14-26 years old. I never tried having it relaxed or rebonded, so I'm a virgin on that aspect. It was only when I was 27 when I decided to have it permed at a salon in Katipunan Avenue, QC, using the traditional method of ammonia perming using the pink rollers. I achieved the hair I wanted to have---no combing, just add mousse and voila! -my go-getter hair.
When I reached the age of 30, I had chronic hairfall. One day, after working out at the local gym, I was preparing to dry my hair when I saw and felt that circular bald spot on the left side of my head. I panicked and I sat down, started thinking of my stress history. Hair fell in clusters. I never combed my hair, for the fear of aggravating hairloss. I took Vitamin E capsules, waited for some time, and hair grew back on the spot. Now that I am 38, I am losing more hair than ever. Now, aside from the Vitamin E caps that I'm taking, I plan to add Folic Acid on my plate, and be wary of stress and lack of sleep. Now, let's see what comes out of it. I hope to grow more hair for the next coming months.
