March 13, Dye/Highlight

Recently, I have seen many of my friends especially girls highlight their hair. Highlighting/dying hair requires application of chemicals to the hair. This is a short biology class for those who don't know a little fact about hair. Hair is actually a type protein, namely keratin. Protein are highly sensitive to chemicals. Any addition of chemicals may cause it to change its conformation (structure). So highlighting one's hair, is adding chemicals to it. Even if the hair stylist said "Oh, don't worry. It won't harm your hair." , I would like to think twice before EVER highlighting my hair. What about shampoo? Some might argue. Shampoo is another story as that cannot be avoided. Highlighting/dying is CAN be avoided.

Some girls are actually quite pretty. I won't denied that. Dying/Highlighting their hair not only made them prettier actually makes them less pretty in my opinion. Call my old fashion but I prefer girls who don't highlight/dye their hair.If you are born with black hair, so be it. Why do you even want to change it? Why do you want to be a Caucasian? I am proud of my hair and its colour unlike some people. =) If you are trying to be different or unique or simply trying to stand out, well it is failing. A fact which many do not know, the under nourish people in Africa have brown hair; a sign that a person is unhealthy. So, next time you think about dying/highlighting your hair, think again. Do you want to look like the unhealthy African people?

The worse thing is some aunties are also doing it. Some even dye their hair red. Guess they want to be a redhead. It disgust me. Some mid 40's aunties look completely hideous with red hair! Maybe they have no where to throw their money. It isn't cheap to highlight/dye one's hair and then later they complain they have no money for daily uses. How ironic. They might as well put the money to dye/highlight and to maintain that colour to good use by donating to charities.

PS. For those who want to know how I did for STPM, it was bad. I just got a CGPA of 3.00. Sad right? Now all I can hope is pray.
