My Hair Woes

OK. I know what most of you are thinking.

I'm known to you as the girl with the thick, luscious hair - what is she doing writing about "hair woes"?! Does she understand the meaning of "woe" that is this:

woe [wəʊ] noun
1. Literary intense grief or misery
2. (often plural) affliction or misfortune

Now yes. I don't deny the thickness of my hair that people envy.

But thick, also translates to these:

1. Dry and coarse hair
   I think because I have so much hair, there isn't enough natural serum to go around. True story.
2. Hair loss - lots of emAsk me to brush through  my hair anytime; I guarantee you a chunk of fallen hair.
3. Tightness at the scalp wheir hair is tied up
   You know girls with high bouncy ponytails? I can NEVER have that. A ponytail only serves to tug at my scalp and the weight of all that hair makes my fringe area pretty bald :(
4. HOT!
   Thick hair is extremely unsuitable for the weather in Singapore! I perspire all the time and my scalp gets stinky, so I take the easy (and lazy) way out and bun my hair up. This also means I look very auntie. Boohoo.
5. Time loss
   I take about 45 minutes to tong my hair because I have so many layers to handle. 

Now the reason I'm blogging about this is because Svenson recognises that there are laymen people like US who have everyday hair problems!

If you have a hair problem (or many woes like mine) and you'd like to win a treatment, you might wanna blog about it so that you can win a one-on-one treatment (or an iPad if you're lucky)!

OK lah I know my hair woes are probably small compared to people like my fellow country manager Nicholas in Malaysia (he's facing some real serious hair loss issues that he gets paranoid if people talk about shampoo hahahha) or girlfriends who have so little hair I don't know if they have enough to lose during old age.
