CONTROVERSIAL director Darryl Yap doubled down on his jabs at Senator Risa Hontiveros’ hair, giving her an unsolicited crash course on the importance of keratin.
In an earlier Facebook post, Yap took a swipe at the senator’s locks, saying: “Isang mensahe ng pakikiramay sa lahat ng mga naulila ng mga patay na buhok ni Risa Hontiveros.”
In his latest update, he followed up by advising Hontiveros to visit a salon in Cainta, Rizal to “revive” her hair, even naming a treatment he claimed could restore its shine and smoothness.
“Mam Risa, habang nagsasaulo po kayo ng mga ipinapabasa sa inyo ng staff mo, try nyo ito, sa Cainta lang sila,” he wrote, promoting Salon 360 International’s “Super Keracolor” treatment — a mix of “Premium Brazilian Keratin” and “Premium Hair Color” on promo for ₱1,999.
Yap then went on to explain why keratin matters. “Ang ating buhok ay binubuo ng isang protina na tinatawag na keratin. Pinoprotektahan nito ang ating buhok mula sa mga panlabas na salik at nagbibigay ng makintab at malusog na kinang sa ating buhok,” he said.
“Ngunit sa ating regular na pagmamadali, kasama ang polusyon at mga gamit sa pag-aayos ng buhok, ang natural na keratin ay nawawala at nag-iiwan sa atin ng kulot, tuyo at patay na buhok. Kasama sa keratin treatment ang pagdaragdag ng protina pabalik sa iyong buhok, na ginagawang mas maganda at walang kulot,” he added.
Hontiveros’ supporters quickly fired back. “The hair can be revived. Unlike Yap’s directorial career,” one commented. Another added: “Kung anu-ano nalang naiisip ni direk… papampam din.”
Others said they weren’t bothered: “Ok lang, at least yung utak buhay na buhay,” one wrote. Another added: “Yan ang katunayan na hindi siya (Risa) magnanakaw — baka kung magnanakaw yan, pa-botox pa yan at araw-araw sa salon.”
