Would you believe that the first few times trying to wear it, it took me longer than taking a shower?!!!!
I would have to take a shower, dry my hair and then ...the daunting task of putting it in place....whew! It made it harder because Filipino hair is straight and smooth (unlike theirs curly and wavy) that you had to put lots of pins to finally put it in place.
But that became our fashion statement in the kingdom. All of us had to go out of the house in ABAYA (that long black dress) but we had the freedom to wear the head dress in different colors and styles with the condition that no part of the neck will be seen.
Eventually got used to it and found it very useful in the winter months of October to March. BRRRRR!
