Hairstyle. The crowning glory of every Filipina delegate. The contestant may have a doll like face, may have the height and the figure, may be articulate and regal, wearing the most expensive couture gown there is but ..
if the hair is a mess, who's gonna bother to look?
What hairstyle is best suited for Miss Philippines?

THE ERA OF THE 1950'S *** |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In keeping up with the rela- tive conserva- tive ethics of the period, hairstyles- though full & thick, were well coiffed and as natural as they can be. Yes, floral adorn- ments were common! |
|

|
|
Baby Villareal-Nepomuceno sports the hairstyle typical of the period. No loose ends, eve- rything in it's place. The clean, polished look of the decade. Good grooming at its very best. |

ALL NATURAL YET WELL GROOMED |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hairstyles of this era were as natural as can be. Whether wavy or bone straight, let it be! If at all coiffed up and tight in a bun, why not? Judging from the look of this decade, Filipinas were very much concerned with the way they look. Never left the house unless the hairdo was well in place! |

Clarinda Soriano (extreme left) wore her hair short and coiffed at the Miss U pageant in '66. Nini Ramos (left) opted for the stylish hairpiece of the decade in Miss Int'l '68 while Gloria Diaz, Miss Universe of '69 (right) wore her hair down . |

The Miss Universe Pageant ends its ban on hairpieces and falls in 1967 and finally allows contestants to wear them in competition. The decade was very much characterized by 'big hair' teased and styled to the max, whether long or short! |

Aurora Pijuan, Miss Interna- tional '70 (extreme left), wore her up tightly in a bun as did the statuesque Miss Internatio- nal of '79, Melanie Marquez (left). Margie Moran (right), Miss Universe '73 was always 'well done' in an intricate hairstyle all throughout the competition. As we would all recall, the Miss Universe crown kept on slipping from Margie Moran's 'crowning glory' that night in Athens! |

Guada Sanchez, Miss Philippines Uni- verse of '74 (left) wore her up during the parade of nations to match it with her national costume, the TERNO. She later let her hair down for the swimsuit and evening gown competition. Unfor-tunately, she never made it to the final five. Was it because of the hair issue? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Evangeline Pascual, first runner-up at Miss World '73, also wore her hair up at all times throughout the competition in London. One of the best groomed Miss RP ever! |

What do all these women have in common? The winning streak of delegates from this decade all wore their hair UP either most of the time or if not always! Filipinas, as proven by the success of this era, just look so GOOD with their hair up and perfectly done in sharp contrast to the flowing tresses of Caucasian and South American delegates. Shouldn't we learn a lesson from these gals? |

Chat Silayan, Miss Phi- lippines Universe '80 (left), wore her hair up for the national costume parade and the swimsuit competition. For the in- terview, she let it down. For the evening gown segment, she had it up again. There's nothing like variety! Desiree Verdadero (right), Miss Philippines Universe '84 did pretty much the same thing, alternating between 2 styles. |

Up or down? Use both. Variety adds spice! Both Chat and Desiree placed well in Miss Universe. Take a hint. |

Miss Philippines World 1994 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cara Subijano, Miss Philippines World '94 (below), wore her hair down throughout the pageant finals night. Earlier, she pulled it up for the preliminaries evening gown video clip. Had she done the same thing during the eve- ning gown segment at the finals, she would have possibly ended up in the 'magic three.' |

NOW, GET THE FOR- MULA RIGHT THIS TIME! |

Ruffa Gutierrez, Miss Philippines World '93 (above), knew the secret to a polished image and right packaging! Throughout the pageant finals, her hair was always per- fectly coiffed as only befits a TRUE BEAUTY QUEEN. Even during the swimsuit competition, Ruffa remained every inch the winner she should be. Shades of Margie Moran in Athens? Definitely! |

Miss Philippines Asia Pacific 1996 |

|
THE GOLD STANDARD |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Marilyn Maristela, Miss Philippines Asia Pacific 1996 and 1st Runner-Up at the Miss Asia Pacific Pageant, is referred to by many as the 'GOLD STANDARD' in Philippine Pageant Mania. Just look! Hairstyle, whether pulled up in a bun for a swimsuit segment (left), or hair down, wavy and flowing in another swimsuit segment (right), Marilyn just looks so darn good! Below, for the finals night in her evening gown, hair is back to a classic chignon again and though she didn't bag the title, this beauty queen just simply got the whole thing RIGHT ALL THE TIME! Marilyn is one classic case of a gal who knows exactly what looks good on her and takes advan- tage of it to the fullest! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Marilyn Maristela is indeed the 'GOLD STANDARD' in many ways. She has the look of a beauty queen, perfectly packaged at all times, and has the com- bined regal bearing of Margie Moran and the facial beauty of Ruffa Gutierrez. Marilyn, why didn't you ever try out for Binibini? Is it too late now? |

Miss Philippines Asia Pacific 1995 Maricel Morales knew the secret formula! She kept her hair up throughout the entire evening at the Miss Asia Pacific Pageant. |

Charlene Gonzales (left), Miss Philippines Uni- verse 1994, not once put her hair up during the finals in Manila. Too bad, Charlene is such a gorgeous girl who might have benefited much from a more polished look! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Miss Philippines Universe 1998 |
|
|
|
|
|
Miss Philippines of 1998 Jewel Lobaton tried the best of both worlds for the Miss Universe competition. Hair was down during the swimsuit prelimina-ries but was pulled up and tight in a secure bun for the evening gown competition. Unfortunately, though the hair was right, the gown was not alright! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The original winners of the Miss Philippines 1999 Pageant all had their own styles in mind. Lalaine and Janelle (left and center) both opted for the tradi- tional while Miriam went casual and just had her hair tied in a ponytail! Not quite the hairstyle you'd see during finals night! |

The right way to wear the Philippine TERNO(below) is with a neat hairstyle. |

It was not a big surprise at all that Miss Miriam Quiambao won the coveted HERBAL ESSENCE STYLE AWARD in Miss U '99. The pictures speak for themselves! An example to follow !!! |

Get into the beach mood with a ref-reshing cascade of jet black hair set against an even tone of brown skin! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The one and only Miriam Quiambao, now an icon in the history of Philippine Pageantry, got it right all the way! She let her hair down at the RIGHT TIME, and pulled it back to a neat bun again at the RIGHT TIME! For her Miss Universe portrait (above left), a casual dress calls for a 'casual' hairstyle. For the bathing suit competition, what better way to get into the 'beach mood' than with a cascade of jet black hair? With the shift into the elegance of the evening gown competition, Miriam herself was tranformed from 'baywatch babe' to 'midnight madam.' What better way there is to show off her back revealing evening gown than with her hair pulled out of the way? Just think of what would have happened had she competed in the same evening gown with her hair down! DISASTER !!! |
|
|
|
Miriam's one shouldered, back baring daring Halston number was perfectly complimented by her polished hair pulled back in a simple tight bun! What a way to top the evening's competition! |
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
After Miriam's unexpected success at Miss Universe 1999, one would think that the Binibining Pilipinas finally got their act together with the obvious 'pattern' that makes Filipinas shine at their very best in the international arena! With the approach of the year 2000, everyone was filled with excitement! The Miss Philippines organizers are at last finally back in track! OH REALLY ? We shall see !!! |

THE NEW ERA OF THE YEAR 2000 *** |
|
Have they learned their lessons well??? |
|
|
....THE SUMMARY
Joanna & Nina looked great with their long hair down both for the swimsuit and evening gown competition. Nina looked a bit silly in a ponytail! Kathy didn't look good with her hair down, but pulled out of the way, she looked every inch a queen! You see, they have to get the LOOK right! |
