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.

You can do a lot with braids.  One simple style is the high braided bun.  You can create this by first tying your hair in a high pony tail, then section it into three parts.  Get the leftmost part and pull this over the middle part.  Then hold the rightmost part and pull this over the middle part.  Repeat this until the pony tail is transformed into a full braid.  Next, wrap your braid around your hair tie to form a crown and secure it with pins.  Make sure you hide the pins under hair for a clean look.  An alternative is to use a larger hair tie whose color complements your outfit.  This serves as a cute accent for your whole get-up.

Many people would agree that women look most feminine when they leave their hair loose.  Just to help keep your hair neat and in place on a rainy day, you can take small sections, around two inches above each ear, and make them into braids.  For those with super long hair, you can pull one braid over the front of your hair, making a head band and twist it once with the other braid.  Now pull the other braid across the back of your head and secure it with a pin just behind the ear.  For those with shorter hair, you can pull the two braids towards the back of your head and keep them together by inserting pins or elastics.
