#PARCINQBeauty: Hair Apparent Featuring Angel Guardian

The adage "Life begins at the end of the comfort zone" is a piece of wisdom we all appreciate, and one that rings true across all aspects of Kapuso triple threat Angel Guardian’s life.

For Angel, trying something new is the constant; she is always willing to step away from her clean, aesthetic image to take on a challenge. Having moved from typical roles in Pamilya Roces to the challenging Sang'gre Deia in Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre, the actress is clearly determined to keep pushing her boundaries. 

In this #PARCINQBeauty feature, muse Angel Guardian dares to shift focus. Collaborating with hair stylist Carlo Roblico, she channels her Encantadia character with three captivating, air-borne silhouettes.

Stepping into the iconic fantasy drama, Angel initially found it difficult to carry the responsibilities, expectations, and pressure of being a Sang’gre. But like the keeper of the air gem she is, she chose to simply let those heavy thoughts be carried away by the wind.

“But when I let go of all that and opened my heart to let Deia in, everything changed. I embodied Deia, and she embodied me. It’s like a mirror in a way—we’re different, but we share similarities, and that fuels the character of Deia and her heart.”

Just as Angel committed to the character of Sang’gre Deia, she brought that same passion to the hair looks for this PARCINQ editorial. Albeit her first time, she happily exclaimed, “Nothing makes me happier than when that creative spark lights up inside me—and this shoot definitely brought it to life.”

Free, refined, and unbound—these three words perfectly capture Angel’s hair transformation. The styles are free and experimental like the air element, feature refined oriental details, and confidently break away from her familiar persona.

While Angel affirms, “We only live once—why play it safe when you can play it bold?,” she is quick to point out that these elaborate styles aren't a daily reality; they require too much effort, and her hair needs a break. Nevertheless, she remains very much open to exploring crazy looks during shoots—an attitude she credits entirely to her favorite beauty gurus.

“I absolutely love @benulus, @eve.frsr, and @sav_hudson. They all have one thing in common: they’re not afraid to experiment and try something new, even if it looks crazy to some. That inspires me to be more open to experimenting and to express myself through different looks and styles.”

At the end of the day, Angel Guardian lives to embrace the new. From her career to her personal style, she sees it as an opportunity to reveal another facet of herself. Trust her to venture where others won't.
