My hair is the bane of my life!
I’m getting mighty fed up with it. It’s so annoyingly straight and down-hanging, even when permed.
I did kind of enjoy it for a while after perming and colouring it about two years ago because it is easier to style your hair when it’s drier and coarser. At least, when you do a ponytail, it doesn’t start falling apart the moment you get up and walk, which was what happened with my old hair.
This is how I look immediately after a session at the salon (cut + perm + dye):
See how the front hangs downwards, covering half my face?
No one in the world can do anything about it, not the best stylist in the world. Because that’s just how my stupid hair grows. Nobody can understand how very infuriating angry I am about it!
Even when I get bangs so that I can have my eyes uncovered, the stupid strands hang down straight like toothpicks instead of curling around the forehead attractively.
Good bangs (Korean actress Koo Hye Sun):
Bad, evil bangs (me):
In order to keep hair off my face so that people don’t mistake me for a broom or a wookiee, I’m forced to either have bangs or wear a hairclip to hold my fringe up. For the rest of my life.
It makes me pretty damned disheartened whenever I think about it.
Poor clipped hair, unable to fly freely:
People claim to envy my long hair, but what’s the use of long hair when you can’t style it any way you want?
Recently, though, I realised that I have a third option.
I could wear a wig!
Then I could have any hairstyle I wanted, something I’ve always wanted but have never been able to achieve because of the stubborn nature of my hair.
So brilliant, right?
I’ve mentioned to Piers a few times about buying a wig or three and he always thinks I’m joking. Or he thinks I’m just saying it and not really going to do it.
Like, I gtalked him the other day saying, “I found a nice wig shop!!” and he went, “Hahahaha. Oh. Uh, you’re not really going to buy a wig, are you??”
He thinks I’m crazy, saying I have no reason to wear a wig because he loves my hair.
That’s fine and good, but he doesn’t have to spend two hours washing it, blow-drying and styling it every time he wants to go out. It was worse before I permed it and had to use a curling tong, which would take ages.
What’s wrong with straight hair, you ask?
My natural straight hair looks more like a wig than an actual wig does!
Anyway, everyone fashionable wears a wig these days. I try telling Piers that but he won’t believe me.
I think I’ll buy one, anyway.
It will take some time because shopping for a good wig is like shopping for a good handbag. You have to take the time to choose something that you won’t regret buying.
And I’m going to England this Friday, not enough time to shop anymore. Don’t think I’ll be able to find fashionable wig shops there like we have in Singapore.
Oh, Friday!
Can’t come soon enough!
=)
My wig can wait, I suppose.
A shave will make any wig look natural on you. Just don’t take it off ;)
You’re being a little too critical about your hair now, I think it’s beautiful! Don’t.. don’t.. do not cut the hair… it looks GOOD! Sheesh!
Seriously.
Listen.
Don’t cut your hair.. no wigs.. Wigs are NOT FUN.
I will give anything to have straight, smooth hair! The hairdresser told me to come back every year for rebonding because my natural hair is just quote “unacceptable”. Psshh!!
I never said anything about cutting my hair…. O_o
You don’t have to cut your hair to wear a wig.
try having ugly natural curls. even rebonding can’t save them. i’d do anything to have naturally straight hair like yours. T_T
Hmm. Doesn’t my hair look awful in the last picture? Like pasted flat on my head.
I think I have your kinda hair, natural black and straight. Cannot even have temporary curl, it will go back straight again in less than 30 mins. I used to hate my hair like you do now, but now, I just ignore the fact that is how my hair looks like. I sometimes didn’t comb my hair in the morning because I can easily comb it using my fingers because it’s natural straight. I don’t normally style them as well. I guess that is because I don’t have to be in the public eyes like you do. So, Sheylara, I think you have great hair. You are natural beauty. =D cheers
hey! i have fringe like yours! if u want the korean style bangs u could try perming ur fringe. it works! then u can style it. :D oh but u hv to blow it dry everytime after u wash ur hair if not the wet, limp curled fringe will look ridiculous. :X
my hair has been frizzy the minute i was born and oh, how I’ve longed for smooth flowing hair like yours! The grass is always greener on the other side I suppose. :(
dont need to think so hard abt buying a wig. i have 9 & love wearing different styles out.
Have you thought of cutting it short? Go for the tom boyish looks.
you got nice hair! though i agree you cant really style it the way you want. but won’t it be hot wearing a wig?
Hello, i know this might sound crazy, emm can a man wear a wig? I mean without shaving or cutting my hair? I would like to have different styles & colours u knw like those japanese type?
Of course you can wear wigs. Actors do it all the time!
