I like to think of that era between high school and college as the ‘Dark Ages’. It was the time of baby fat, dismal boyfriend choices, and worst of all, phenomenally bad hairstyles.

It’s no surprise, therefore, that I’ve spent my entire adult life rebonding my hair year after year after year to keep my hair long, ramrod straight, and totally . . . SAFE. That’s not too bad, you might think. Unless, of course, you consider the fact that I look exactly like a gazillion other Filipinas.

Case in point:

Really, the ‘dalagang Pilipina’ look is getting so old.

So old, in fact, that even I was getting tired of how I looked! Neither the prettiest hair accessories, nor the best hair supplements could make me get over how banal I looked. And if you just can’t please yourself anymore, it’s definitely time to shake things up and make a change, wouldn’t you agree?

Now, when it comes to fabulous, there’s only one person I’ve always looked up to. Seriously, who doesn’t want to be like Carrie Bradshaw? And with her as my inspiration, I did something that I never thought I would ever do. (Drumroll, please!) I got a perm! Gasp! And let me tell you, as far as hairstyles go, curly is definitely the way to go! You wash it, then you wear it – no muss, and definitely no fuss. I find it oh-so amazing that a simple change of hairstyle is easily making me feel as fun, fiery, and frivolous as Miss Bradshaw.

CURLS just wanna have fun!

But that’s not even half of it. My new curls is making me as fierce as I want to be, and that is definitely the best and most important bit of the whole transformation.

My personal Dark Age is definitely over, and I’m enjoying this renaissance, this time of self-rediscovery and awesome changes. I’m definitely looking forward to my next big change. Need I say what it’s going to be?
