Hair Styles in the Philippines

-
by: JC Bulan In the Philippines, when it rains, it really pours.  Now if you want to keep on looking great with your hair firmly in tact then take note of the following tips. Filipinas like their hair to be classy but not too flashy.  An excellent style for the long-haired gals is the Gibson tuck.  You’ll need a hair tie and pins for this one.  Put your hair up in a ponytail.  Just above the hair tie, part your hair into roughly two equal parts using your finger.  Next, twist your ponytail and insert it into the gap and tuck it inside along with the hair tie.  Wrap your hair up tight and secure the top of the tuck with hair pins.  You might also want to use a hairspray for the finishing touches.  Also it would look more elegant by pulling a few strands of hair for each side of your face.
