In the Philippines, I heard some hair stories about people who have particular style and look affects the way other people perceive them as a person. The first time a person looks at us, we usually are judged by our appearance. A clean and neat appearance will always guarantee a smile. In addition, if you get tired of all the hassle, effort and lack of time and money for constant trips to the hairdresser, well, you can be bold and cut it all off.

One of the hair stories I have also heard in the Philippines is, some women who get tired of the long straight length hair frequents the parlor to perm and curl their hair. Another hair stories flaunted women who are so frustrated over their curls have their hair straightened by relaxing. Hair relaxing is a chemical treatment wherein the hair structure is changed so that the curl is removed. However, the treatment then was so harsh that unless your hair is in perfect condition, you are sure to get damaged hair. In the Philippines, recent technological processes have made hair straightening a breeze. It is called Japanese Ionic Rebonding. It is a two-step chemical process wherein the molecules of the hair are broken and re-arranged using the Chemical A then hot-ironed flat and straight. Then chemical B is used to “Rebond” the hair molecules again. It is the current rage among those who used to have troubles with frizzy and curly hair.

Some hair stories feature that our race determines what type of hair we have. It can be classified by color. White, Caucasian hair usually is fine, light colored and straight. White people are easily distinguishable by being blonde-haired people and redheads. African hair is usually black, curly and dense. It is said that due to the difficulty of styling this type of hair that that dreadlocks and braids were invented. In the Philippines, hair is mostly black and different shades of brown and varies from straight and wavy to curly. In hair stories I have read said that hair characteristics come from our parents. Women in the Philippines usually have hair types and hair color is directly inherited as well as our eye color and skin tone.
