Ever notice how girls in shampoo commercials all have silky, smooth, long hair that seem too good to actually be real? Well, you're right, because hair like that is not natural—a lot of lighting tricks and hairstyling tools have a hand in making it possible. In fact, most people have hair that's far from perfect and it's more than okay! Living in a tropical country makes it extra difficult to have hair that's commercial-ready daily because of the humidity, which causes hair to get unruly and frizzy. So if you having been living with buhaghag hair all your life, you have to know that you are definitely not alone! We totally feel you and your daily hair struggles, which is why we thought of listing down all the things that you go through and can relate to, so you can hopefully get a good laugh and possibly learn to embrace your natural hair.
