How Filipino Actor Gil Cuerva Maintains His Signature Hairstyle
Long hair has defined Gil Cuerva, from his modeling days to his current acting career. Here’s how he takes care of it every day
Crowning glory
From his modeling days to now as an in-demand actor in the Philippines, Gil Cuerva has gone through several hair transformations. However, the long styles—shoulder-length, like what he has today, and even beyond that before—have been his most well-known ones.
As such, proper hair care takes priority in his self-care routine, as Gil shares in his episode of VMAN Vanity. A thin bristle comb and hair ties never leave his bag, helping him keep his locks kempt and ready for busy days ahead.
For long hair, experts recommend shampooing and conditioning two to three times a week—not every day, as it can damage your strands. Gil follows this, but as a jiu-jitsu practitioner, a clean wash is always mandatory after sessions on the mat.
Moreover, he doesn’t skimp on the regular scalp treatments, addressing hair health concerns down to the root. “As long as you take good care of your hair, it will definitely speak for itself,” he assures, just like how his crowning glory has always been his signature.
What remains are simple yet effective steps: sunscreen to protect his face, especially for outdoor shoots; lip balm for quick moisturizing; and sleek sunglasses for an effortless cool vibe.
