I had my last rebond in January of 2009.  I went to my former salon, only to find that the place is now occupied by a different salon.  I gave the newbie a shot anyway…My scalp received so bad a beating (it bled all over for days!) my hair never recovered.

I had been rebonding my hair for close to ten years now.  The first time the trend arrived in the Philippines, I was so happy because I had been despairing over my frizzy hair.  On a good day, the curls would come out but good days were rare.  If it weren’t for the Koreans, I wouldn’t have known that it’s a bad idea for curly-haired peeps to brush their hair a hundred times (as our grandmothers would advise).

After my scalp injury, I was determined not to go back to having my hair rebonded. My head needed a rest from all the chemicals.  The problem is, a few months after rebonding, I started looking like an atomic bomb cloud (or a mushroom) because my roots are curly while the rest of my hair would be stick straight.

I tried going to Henry Calayag to see if they’d give my rebonded strands a digital perm but they told me that my hair would die if they did that.  You cannot perm rebonded hair; the combination of chemicals would be too much for my hair to handle.  Apparently, I have to wait till my real hair grows back before they can fix it. In the meantime, they gave me a cut that would keep my hair from looking too thick.

So far, while I’m waiting, my temporary solution is to braid the rebonded strands, mousse ’em up and let them loose.  They don’t look like my real curls but at least it’ll do for now. The mousse-and-hair-scrunching technique is something I learned from the Koreans.

The funny thing is, whenever someone sees me, he or she would comment, “New hair!” I’d reply with, “No, it’s my old hair.”

Relax lang para di sumabog.  if i remember correctly, may curls ka eh. sabi ng koreans, mousse and scrunching daw ang katapat niyan. my sister told me a secret also (she has never had her hair rebonded): comb it only while it’s wet and don’t comb it anymore after that. lalabas yung totoong curls. she has big waves though, very nice. mine are smaller and more defined kaya mas prone to frizz.

Haaay bahala na. Lahat ng sisters in law ko nagparebond sa Piandre kaloka.

delete reply lemrak wrote on Aug 6, ’09 skysenshi said gross talaga tingnan yung kulot top tapos tuwid na ilalim.  yeah. just have it curled na lng.

delete reply j00uy wrote on Aug 6, ’09 Hayyy! After 30 plus years of having curly hair, nagpa rebond ako sa Piandre. And whoa! it inspired my sister to rebond also. Still waiting for the curls to come out. So far I asked my hubby which is better kulot or not, he answered ‘”Kahit ano bagay daw sa akin”. Sandali makahingi nga ng LV….

Sandali makahingi nga ng LV….  hahahahahaha! actually the very first rebond ko was really really nice. virgin hair kasi. it was soft. the second and third medyo ok pa. yung mga sumunod, i think nagalit na yung hair ko sakin kasi tumitigas na siya unti unti. but i had to keep doing it because come the 7th month, my roots would show.

delete reply bluejeansredlipstick wrote on Aug 6, ’09 mouse while its wet, scrunch it for 20 seconds each area whilst holding a blow drier to dry the mouse and other chemicals so it will curl and stay curled! i used to do that. back in highschool . LOL

delete reply kurayami wrote on Aug 6, ’09 LOL KOREA 😀 Must learn that nice technique of yours. My hair remains to be a disaster 😀

delete reply tinkerbelle03 wrote on Aug 6, ’09 Yeah, gusto ko lang ng experience! Forever flat na kasi. LOL. No contentment.
