I was in college when Pink’s first album came out. I loved her as she was the epitome of everything that I wasn’t: kickass and cool. It was then that I knew, I had to have pink hair someday. Fast forward to 14 years later, that ‘someday’ hasn’t come yet. I started experimenting with different hair colors when I got out of college and had my own job. I’d gone through different hair colors, but never pink. Needless to say, someday remained a someday up to now.
I was willing to forego the obsession, in fact, I had forgotten about it. The idea was dismissed as I’d figured I was too old to do anything so drastic with my hair (cue the song Everybody’s Free (to wear Sunscreen)). But then I stumbled upon Yeng Constantino’s new hair color on one of her IG posts:

She’s so pretty and seeing her pull off this cotton candy hair color has kind of brought back my feelings of wanting pink hair. I’m thinking of doing it in time for my birthday this year. I’ve been looking at Manic Panic distributors here in the Philippines and found rainbowheadph.com. I’m fighting all the urge to order two tubs of Hot Hot Pink right now. They also sell Manic Panic lipstick. Ugh. I need to stay away from their site before I do something I’d possibly regret. I’d have to sit this one out and think about it for maybe a couple more months. Maybe then, I’d have changed my mind. Or maybe not.
