Taken earlier today for the 48 Photos Challenge. Much as I would like to post a decent mug, my breakouts are not really cooperating and I would not want to gross you out on the first of this weekly photo challenge so there you go. But since I’m having a relatively good hair day, I choose to show off my crowning glory instead. 😉
It was quite a bit of a challenge to take a self-portrait with my camera because of its faulty AF motor. I can only use Manual Focus and good luck taking sharp photos not seeing where the focus is because I’m on the wrong side of the camera. 😛 But after a few tries, I finally got a coupla shots I liked and the rest is history. 😉

Wow your curls are love. I want to have my locks digitally permed also but naiisip ko pa lang presyo parang ma hhighblood na ako kaya wag na lang. One thing more, it’s so hard to have a nice decent looking curls with toddlers around.

It’s actually not as expensive as it used to be. I had my hair digipermed last November for just P2,100 and that’s already with keratin treatment thrown in. 😉 Check out Tony & Jackey, they usually have promos like that. 🙂

I used to use Lightroom more, but lately I found myself wanting to play around with my photos, not just enhance them so I use Photoshop. But yes, I agree that Adobe is a photographer’s best friend. 😀

This made me miss my curls. Kaso I don’t think I can sport a curly hair any time soon with two toddlers.

It’s not that high-maintainance as I initially thought, but it does get more easily tangled compared to straight hair as I learned from experience.

I love your curls! I’ve always wanted to have curly hair, but I remember I had a difficult time managing when I first got a perm. 🙂 Great self portrait!

Thanks Patty! 🙂 Maintaining these curls and waves took a bit of a learning curve. In fact, most days it’s still a hit-or-miss affair getting them to look like that. 😛
