Short Hairstyle No.1: “I just woke up”

[Note: hair looks WAY BETTER in person. LOL.]

So I woke up this afternoon looking like this. While some will run to the bathroom and curse their ‘bed’ hair, I’ll thank the heavens for mine. Seriously.

I actually feel kind of bad that I’m not going out tonight. I would not want to waste this. Drinks, anyone?

Messing up your hair just so it looks natural and not gross takes more effort and skill than it seems.

When I had long hair, I was under the assumption that girls with short hair don’t have any problems fixing their short locks, because they can just ruffle it, scrunch it up and then they would be good to go.

I didn’t realize that it took much more than the scrunching up and the ruffling to achieve the cute pixie-like effect. Right now I feel for my past guy friends whom I make fun of back then for spending too much time in fixing their hair. It takes me at least 15 minutes to achieve this “got out of bed” look.

I sort of cheated in that picture though. I fell asleep with wax on my hair. (yikes!)

I am loving the shiz out of this product. It holds just right without your hair looking too ‘planned’. It smells great and it does not feel heavy on your head. Remember high school boys back then being teased about having porcupine hair? You won’t have that with the Bench Hairlastic Flexible Fiber product. Don’t worry, I’m not being paid to say that.

They say your hair is your best accessory, in my case, my long hair before was more of a nuisance. It looked bad and felt even worse. I’m so much happier with this new hairstyle however because of it, I realized I have to exert a lot of effort on other things.

I’m investing more on make-up and face care products. I have to have super clear skin and make-up to ‘look the part’. And of course, I have to style my hair now instead of just drying it over the fan and heading out. I spend more time fuzzing my hair to acquire that just got out of bed look.

Oh but everything is so worth it. Anyway, I’ll try to come up with more posts that share how I work with my short hair. It might be of help to some women out there to get opinions from a fellow noob, if not for the tips, then for the sympathy. Haha.
