The ladies of BINI have steadily positioned themselves in the entertainment scene, not just because of their musical prowess, but also for their distinct personal styles. In particular, their main rapper and lead dancer Mikha has become synonymous with her flaming red hair. It's quite impossible to miss the sight of her when she hits the stage, thanks to her fiery locks catching the attention of audiences.
As one could imagine, having such a stand-out 'do comes with some intensive maintenance. In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Mikha gets candid about why she wanted to be a redhead, highlighting some of the challenges such a hairstyle poses.
BINI Mikha on the Struggles of Having Red Hair
With her family hailing from Cebu, Mikha is born with black tresses. The thought of having her locks colored a bright red came to her years ago. However, she had to delay the dye job, as she was still fulfilling the role of Elle in the TV series He's Into Her.
"Red is my favorite color. I actually had been wanting to dye my hair red since before [we released the song] Karera, way back before that pa," she said. Once filming for the show wrapped up, Mikha got the treatment done and eventually became the red-haired lass of P-pop. However, she soon realized that her tresses needed some extra attention now that they were tinted such a vivid color.
"Bawal ako mag-white tops 'pag pinagpapawisan. Tapos 'yung nails ko pag white or anything light, nagiging pink siya or red," she candidly states. Some hair dyes bleed and transfer onto clothes or other surfaces, especially when the treatment is freshly done. This is something Mikha attests to, especially after each retouch.
"I retouch my hair siguro mga once or twice a month, tapos every time I shower nagbe-bleed lahat ('yung water)," she shares.
Despite the hassle of maintaining such a bold hairstyle, Mikha is aware that her tresses have become her trademark. Most fans have associated her with her hair, which makes it an essential component of her personal branding. "Madali rin akong makilala," she says.
