Is it time for a perm?
by: Julia Benito
Though commercials and beauty standards in the Philippines have been pointing in the direction of sleek, straight hair, we can’t sit by and ignore our naturally curly-haired sisters out there. Whether you have soft waves or springy twists, your curls are beautiful — don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!
As inspiration for those looking to ditch that rebond treatment and take the leap towards styling and caring for curly hair, here are 5 television characters with curls that are to die for.
Carrie Bradshaw
The original blonde-haired, blue-eyed “it” girl for us (who may or may not have been a little too young to be watching such shows) growing up, Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City was the girl everyone wanted to be. A successful doe-eyed writer for a New York City newspaper and, later on, Vogue with an incredible wardrobe, fantastic, golden locks, and a steamy love life — who wouldn’t aspire to be her?
Rachel Green
An icon of pop culture, Jennifer Anniston forever lives in our hearts as the adorable — albeit spoiled — Rachel Green from Friends. Donning plenty of hairstyle changes, from sleek and straight to long and curly, Rachel is a master of transformation — and not just in her look. Starting off the series as quite the sheltered girl living off her father’s credit card, Rachel shows immense growth through the years, rising up the ranks from coffee shop waitress to a big shot in the fashion industry and truly embracing what Monica had told her as she snipped away her credit cards: “Welcome to the real world. You’re going to love it.”
Rosa Diaz
The 99th Precinct’s resident badass and deadly weapon aficionado, Rosa Diaz, is a femme fetal full of mystery, fury, and hidden aliases — and we love her for that. With sarcasm flowing through her veins and a standoffish nature that could make any criminal shrink away, this stone-cold yet surprisingly soft-hearted and lovable detective makes Brooklyn 99 all the more joyful to watch.
Dr. Cristina Yang
Brilliant beyond measure yet socially awkward, cynical, and quick-witted, Dr. Cristina Yang of Grey’s Anatomy is the pinnacle of intimidation. But breaking through her icy exterior is a woman full of love and care — in her own Cristina way. More than Meredith’s person, best friend, confidant, and sardonic comic relief, Cristina, as well as her turbulent journeys navigating love and relationships, is a character so full of depth that she keeps us coming back for more.
Death
Despite literally being the personification of death in Netflix’s adaptation of The Sandman, Death is a woman that exudes endless warmth — the perfect companion to see you through your last days. As the older sister of the show’s protagonist, Dream, Death is shown to be gentle and caring, being the only one to comfort her younger brother and whipping him back into shape after his brief period of depression.
