New Hair~!

Ok, so finally I had received another wonderful miracle from God and because my dad was so kind and considerate he allowed me to have my hair cut. Here's the story. It all started with a well thought-out, well-planned, well-researched (Let's just say it was well) e-mail. I started to think about what I was going to write. What the contents are, the arguments, the pleas, the condition and proof. Yes, well I learned that when trying to convince my dad I better prepare like I'm doing my thesis. so here's the e-mail I sent my dad

~~~MY EMAIL STARTS HERE~~~

Tatay, can I get a haircut? I know you already told me that you don't want me to get one but I have some events to attend to that is in need of a fresh new haircut and this present hair of mine is in no condition to be shown in fancy soirees and such. The events I am talking about are the events that are going to happen on the 24th of May (Aabay kay Ate Meann), 31st of May (Photoshoot) and 12th of July (Debut ni Chii). These events are not the only reasons I want a haircut. It's because it's really hot these days and I don't think I can maintain having a long hair since I get really annoyed with it over my neck and face especially when I'm sleeping. Of course, since you don't like it I'm giving out conditions for you to agree:

1. This will be the last haircut I am going to have
unless you say so.
2. Since I need it to be straight, there's going to be money involved. Please just take it out on my debut money. Kung magkano man yung babayaran ni ma. Doblehin niyo yung babawasan sa debut money ko. ex. 3000 ung pagpapa-straight bawasan niyo ng 6000 ung pera ko.

I'm really serious about this haircut If you haven't notice by now.

Please Tatay, think about this before you give me your answer. There is no need to give me your answer immediately just as long as you think about it first. I really want this haircut. I want our photo shoot to be really successful.

Here are some Pros & Cons, and Advantages of Short Hair:

Pro’s and Cons of Short Hair

Pros:

Time. It's a real time saver, as it only takes a few minutes to wash and style. This is particularly great for those rushes or morning departures for work.

Versatility. You can style it, gel it, pomade it, and just about do any "it"s there is with a short hair cut. Although you are limited by the length, you can nevertheless be a trend setter with your short hair and show off your style. It can be sleek, sexy, professional and aggressive - all at the same time! A classic.

Good for almost any occasion. Whether it's to cool down in the summer, or be more manageable for the more sporty personality, one of the great things about short hairstyles is that it can go for any occasion. It's sexy and professional enough for the office or a night out on the town, and perfectly practical and nonchalant when it comes time to go hitchhiking or play tennis.

Put other features in perspective. A short hairstyle brings more attention to your face. If you are deciding to go with a short hairstyle, then capitalize on the opportunity to spice up your facial features by highlighting yourself with some make up, jewelry, and for the more punkier women out there, maybe even tattoos on your neck!

Increases the perspective of height. This can be a good thing, but for those of you who are already tall enough, a short hairstyle can accentuate your height and make you seem even taller.

Cons:

Facial exposure. A short hairstyle might reveal some things about your face that you are not quite fond of. Therefore this is something to keep for those of use who are more introverted about our facial looks. It is also said that it might take time to get used to that feeling of being "exposed" for those who might of went from the long to short hair transition.

Growing back after the cut. If you are not satisfied with your cut and look after coming out of the salon, you can't go back and get a refund on your hair! It can take a long time to grow back out, and for some it might never growth back to it's full length.

Maintenance. Short hair styles need to be cut more often. You will most likely have to increase your number of visits to the haircut salons if you want to keep your hairstyle in shape.

Advantages:

Easy to maintain
Short hair does not require a lot of maintenance. It can be washed and styled in a small amount of time. This makes life much easier for many people. It is especially helpful during busy days when you do not have a lot of time to spend on your hair. Life's responsibilities can take up a lot of hours in a day. Mothers and those who have a lot of daily tasks can benefit from having short hair.

This is one of the advantages of having short hair. It allows for more time to spend doing other things. Short hair can also come in handy for women and men who take their time getting dressed for a special occasion or daily departure. There are many women who take hours to get themselves ready for work or a night out on the town. A good portion of this time is usually spent on hair styling. Short hair can make this process much easier.

More Enjoyable in the summer
The heat during summer season can sometimes be unbearable. Men who have had long hair in the winter months may cut it in the summer. Some women do the same. Those who have long hair will usually try to style it in a way that keeps the heat from bothering them. These styles may include braiding and pony tails. People who have a lot of hair tend to be uncomfortable in the summer. This is another advantage of having short hair.

More Versatile
Short hair allows one to have more styling options. Women with short hair can wear extensions or wigs if they want to have a longer hairstyle. They can also remove these additional pieces when they want to go back to shorter hair. However, women who have long hair are confined to long hairstyles. If they desire shorter style, they will have to consider making drastic changes to their hair.

Short hair can offer an instant new image

Whether you want to show off a new weight loss or a hot new wardrobe or even an eye lift, a newly short style can be very flattering and youthful. It can be slimming and add vibrancy and new energy to your look and image.

One of the reasons that makeover hairstylists and artists often take their subjects to a shorter length is because it highlights a new image. Women of any age, with some considerations, can go short and look spectacular.

Short hair can be ultra chic

Not only can shorter styles be seen as more professional, they can be viewed as more elegant, chic and sophisticated.

A shorter cut can be cut and maintained in such a way as to make it look beautifully polished and alluring. A great short cut can work wonders for creating a professional or business image.

Short hair can be instant wash and wear

The current trend towards the super short pixie worn by stars Alyssa Milano and Marley Shelton are the ultimate in wash and wear hair. You can lather up, towel dry and finger pick and air dry in a matter of minutes. This is a wonderful advantage to very busy people who don't have the time or interest in dealing with complicated styles.

Short hair can be instant wear because there is a lot less hair to mess with. With the right short cut, hair will instantly glide into place and look amazing with little chance for styling errors.

Short hair is always in fashion

If you look back at hair history over the past 100 years you will find that the bob, the pixie, the shag, the chop and several other classic short styles that continue to remain fashionable regardless of the time period. With all the next clip on ponies and instant hair extension products available, a short cut can be instantly transformed into a longer look in a matter of minutes.

Short hair is never boring.

Because short hair is so incredible flexible it can work with any type or texture of hair from fine to thick, straight to curly and wavy or a combination. Short hair is never boring because it will constantly change shape as it grows. Ultimately you have the option to wear it longer or shorter with minimal investment in time or effort.


Researches:

Long hair can cause back pains, long hair can attract lice more, long hair tends to get in knots and tangles which may cause breakage and fizziness. Long hair can be more dead-looking and dull since the nutrients take a long time to reach the end or not at all.

That was my e-mail to my dad. I just sent that yesterday and then I got a reply minutes ago. I was so scared about what was going to say, since it was such a quick reply. I was hoping that it would probably take a week for him to decide so I hesitated a little about opening the e-mail. I was nervous but I had no choice. At first I thought about not opening it until Sunday but for some reason I didn't know I just clicked that e-mail and started reading. When I read the first sentence I was just so over-whelmed that I cried so much (I'm still sniffing). And I couldn't believe it. Here's my dad's reply.

Nik-ik,

I tried to persuade you not to do it, but since you insist...you may have it. However, what i don't want to see are some greasy-punky gel styles, which look like Japayuke. Anak, being simple and all natural is the real beauty I see in women. You're may be thinking that we're some kind of old fashioned craps, but during our days we already have these same styles. Nevertheless, your Ma and I stayed the way normal people are. The Philippines is a casual-fashioned country. Perhaps because of its topography and weather is what makes Philippine fashion this way. But for the purpose of these events you mentioned...I must agree. Mine is only a reminder that you should not go out-of-line. You cannot please everybody.
Tell your Ma also that I will not take this cost against your Debut-Money. This is a gift from me. All I want from you is stay natural as possible, act and dress simply as most people are and keep up the good perspective. Enjoy and send me your pics as soon as you have it.

Take care

Tatay

<<<DAD'S REPLY ENDS HERE>>>

Ok, so about that Japayuke part. I would rather call it Harajuku if my dad was talking about that or if he was talking about the prostitute type. WHY THE HELL WOULD I WEAR SOMETHING LIKE THAT!? It's true that I think they are old-fashioned, but aren't we all? In some ways more than one? I was a bit surprised when my dad admitted that since he likes to boast to me and my brother hat he is the most fashionable person on the planet. =_=.

Well, whatever I'm just happy that my dad agreed to this condition and he even said it was a gift so we wouldn't need to take some amount from my debut-money. I was so happy. To some it may be just a blog about me getting worked up about a hair-cut but there are times when we feel like this too. To me it just happened to be in a form of a haircut. The things I need to do to get what I want. I'm pretty spoiled but my parents let me be this way if only I work my way to get what I want. It's not that bad is it?

Joji-chan-sama. Not the name in her birth certificate but the name she prefers to be called..
17 years young and still confused with trivial matters. Sometimes Bi-sexual(Not Lesbian), often times "Normal." Regards the EGA & EGL way of dressing very highly. She cosplays. Likes describing herself in the third person. Has some arsenal of corny jokes or made-up stories ready for emergencies. It takes a Liar to know a Liar.
Declares that she is extremely gifted but much too misunderstood. Very proud about many things that doesn't seem to concern a lot of people. Doesn't like standing out in a crowd but hates blending in. Most of the things she says will, at some point, contradict other things she said before.
Wishes to earn a Master's Degree in History or Creative Writing and Ph.D in Philosophy, then travel around the world(♥) trying to change the unchangeable. Wishes that a rock song of her choice would play at her funeral after she dies of a noble cause and on her epitaph would be engraved "Died trying to make the world her greatness" or something of the sort.
