[9 Aug 2009 | No Comment | 3,956 views]


The hairstyle changes with time. It’s like a cycle. For instance, the classic hairstyle is now being adapted by many people although there are also modern hairstyles these days. In the Philippines, the Filipiniana hairdo is quite popular long ago and it goes very well with the Filipiniana dress.



Imelda Marcos was once the first lady of the Philippines and hers is a great example of the Filipiniana hairdo. In the photo, you will notice that the hair is pulled up and at the back portion, the hair is arranged like a small ball. This is very common among Filipina in the olden times. The hairstyle is used both by the elite and the ordinary people. However, you can easily notice the elite class because of their beautifully arranged hair and astounding Filipiniana dresses.

Aside from that, some Filipino women also used the classic hairstyle called teased hair and the fly away hairstyle. These are both classic hairstyle and are also used to match with Filipiniana dresses. Such hairstyles are also known as Filipiniana hairdo and a lot of women follow it until today especially in special occasions. The teased hairstyle is achieved by using a teaser. The final look is a bit rough but women during that time loved it. The fly away hair is another great Filipiniana hairdo. It is achieved by dividing the hair at the middle. Hair gel or spray is used to maintain the fly away look of the hair. There are even times when the fly away style looks wet and the hair hardly moves.

Another notable classic hairstyle is the boys bob hairstyle.


The hair looks neat, happy, and is can be easily styled according to men’s desires. The hair is divided at the middle portion and with bangs.

The Filipiniana hairdo seem to have withstood the test of time and until now, you can still see women wearing such hairstyles. Even salons and beauty centers are aware of the Filipiniana hairdo because during special occasions, some women request for it.

Classic hairstyle will surely live on in the years to come and it’s not a surprise since the younger generations are always open to experiment on their hairdos. The internet also provides information sources and pictures so that the people today can see what the classic styles look like. Culture is very important in the Philippines and such hairstyles are already part of the country’s pride.
