| Salon trips for special occassions |
Contrary to the rebonded hair epidemic gripping the women of the country for the past 10 years or so, I am still quite happy with my big, monstrous, wildly layered colored hair even if it looks like I borrowed it from Simba and when I wake up it's like I'm Chuckie the doll who rose from the grave. What I lack in excitement, my hair makes up for it. Sure it's not slippery, frizz-free, but it has a lot of character and perks me up.

| This must be my 8th rebond |
People are starting to look the same far too long. No offense to those who love their rebonded hair, I have a great number of friends you used to hate their Hermione hair and their confidence has definitely improved after a trip to Going Straight. I am actually a late bloomer, I didn't touch my hair until I got out of my parents' house because I was trying to fit in the "simple girl" club. I wanted something like what the popular girls in school had, which looked very pretty and all the boys wanted to be your boyfriend. So after my first few paychecks, I braved my first foray into the expensive side of the salon menu. I was ecstatic with the results and felt like a thousand bucks, even though I got two thousand bucks poorer.
I think we should finally say goodbye to this fad, explore other options with our hair than conform with shampoo commercials. I think what went wrong here was when Lucy Torres with the "mirror finish 100 brush strokes" hair "captivated" Richard Gomez, everybody started thinking the same? Or when Kim Chiu's hair magically never went out of place even if she was racing a god damn scooter, teenage girls started wanting something like it. Rebonded hair doesn't equate social status anymore. It will not even guarantee you a date with your crush. Everywhere I look, rebonded, rebonded, rebonded. Going Straight still has good business. Even the vendors in divisoria have rebonded hair. You practically look the same everywhere you go, the only thing that changes is the background. The 80's had their fashionable beehives, and now we're showing a completely flat, unmoving and indestructable hairstyle known as rebonded. Or banshee. Or those dolls people use in voodoo.

And let me tell you it doesn't look good on everyone. But if you really feel so strongly about your rebonded hair and it makes you feel beautiful, then by all means keep it. It's what your hair is for after all, your crown of glory.

I just want to save all of you from making excuses to your grandkids why everyone had banshee hair and all you can say is, "it was THE hairstyle back in the day, you know." I know I shouldn't make up some twisted psychology about hairstyles but I do believe there's a reason why people choose to wear specific clothes each day, how the color they wear somehow shows what they feel and think of and why they choose to have their hair a certain way. We all have something to say.
