My Hair, My Say: Pinays Share Their Stories of How They Embraced Their Hair

Maysh hair is purple, and it’s been a part of her self-expression--her signature look. Ever since she started her career in music, she has already colored her hair. As expected, not everyone approved of it at the beginning. But since it’s the entertainment industry, she had more freedom. However, in her life in the corporate world, Maysh gets different reactions. Thankfully, this hasn’t fazed her, and she believes that she has many identities that need to be expressed. And her hair is one of the channels through which she expresses these identities.

Many people love the music of this duo. But more than being musicians, Leanne and Naara inspire every Filipina to express themselves through their hairstyles and hair colors. They have always loved having different looks, which they believe is one of the ways they can express themselves outside of music. They want to empower women by making them believe that when it comes to your hair, you’re the boss.

Reese always sees her hair as an extension of her expression. She used to experiment with her hair color even when she was still in college, coloring her hair anywhere from fiery red and neon green to rainbow streaks and lola gray.

As Reese grows as an artist, she is now showing more of her naturally dark tresses and is thankful to Dove for letting her communicate her inner transformation through her hair. While she misses coloring her hair, her choice of color now is not as bright as that of her younger years. But that doesn’t mean she is now boxed up by stereotypes. It only is a “subtle nod to the past and an embrace to the future”.
