<p>Kris Bernal looked back on her viral short haircut during her time as a contestant on reality show <em>StarStruck.</em></p><p>Kris shared that she had always preferred long hair before that memorable makeover. &quot;Ayaw ko na magpagupit talaga kaya di niyo ako nakikita nagsho-short hair simula niyan, lagi akong naglo-long hair,&quot; she said in an interview on <em>Your Honor </em>as she discussed the story behind the haircut. <em></em><br/></p><p>The actress added that even she was younger, she never liked cutting her hair. &quot;Hindi ko talaga pinapagalaw &#x27;yung buhok ko. As in gusto ko talaga long hair ako. Ever since nung bata pa ako, ayaw kong ginugupitan &#x27;yung buhok ko,&quot; she relayed.</p><p>That’s why she was completely shocked when her hair was suddenly cut short during the show. &quot;Tapos nung ginupitan ako, nagulat ako, talagang [ginupit] agad &#x27;yung haba ng buhok ko,&quot; she recounted.</p><p>Kris said she wasn&#x27;t shown a photo reference beforehand, making the surprise even more overwhelming. &quot;Tapos ginawa ganun, parang Dao Ming Si... Uso pa &#x27;yung F4 nun, tapos may buntot pa. Nilagyan pa ng mga red na highlights,&quot; she recalled.</p><p>Kris admitted that she became emotional after having the haircut. &quot;Iyak ako nang iyak. Tapos bawal kag mag-reklamo kasi baka mamaya di ba matanggal ka or masabihan kang attitude. Tapos maganda pa &#x27;yan ha, &#x27;pag hindi &#x27;yan na style-han, babagksan siya, para kang bunot. Wala siyang volume so dapat special siyang inaayusan... tapos may gel,&quot; she said.</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C1LV_IcvD0a/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=453&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A729168.3999999985%2C%22ls%22%3A728692.1000000015%2C%22le%22%3A729091.6999999955%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="0" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px;min-width:326px;padding:0px;position:absolute"></iframe><blockquote class=" instagram-media-registered" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/C1LV_IcvD0a/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" id="instagram-media-payload-0" style="background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15);margin:1px;max-width:540px;min-width:326px;padding:0;width:calc(100% - 2px)"><div style="padding:16px"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C1LV_IcvD0a/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" style="background:#FFFFFF;line-height:0;padding:0 0;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;width:100%" target="_blank"><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:row;align-items:center"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;flex-grow:0;height:40px;margin-right:14px;width:40px"><br/></div><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:column;flex-grow:1;justify-content:center"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;margin-bottom:6px;width:100px"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;width:60px"><br/></div></div></div><div style="padding:19% 0"><br/></div><div style="display:block;height:50px;margin:0 auto 12px;width:50px"><br/></div><div style="padding-top:8px"><div style="color:#3897f0;line-height:18px">View this post on Instagram</div></div><div style="padding:12.5% 0"><br/></div><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:row;margin-bottom:14px;align-items:center"><div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;height:12.5px;width:12.5px;transform:translateX(0px) translateY(7px)"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;height:12.5px;transform:rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px);width:12.5px;flex-grow:0;margin-right:14px;margin-left:2px"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;height:12.5px;width:12.5px;transform:translateX(9px) translateY(-18px)"><br/></div></div><div style="margin-left:8px"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;flex-grow:0;height:20px;width:20px"><br/></div><div style="width:0;height:0;border-top:2px solid transparent;border-left:6px solid #f4f4f4;border-bottom:2px solid transparent;transform:translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg)"><br/></div></div><div style="margin-left:auto"><div style="width:0px;border-top:8px solid #F4F4F4;border-right:8px solid transparent;transform:translateY(16px)"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;flex-grow:0;height:12px;width:16px;transform:translateY(-4px)"><br/></div><div style="width:0;height:0;border-top:8px solid #F4F4F4;border-left:8px solid transparent;transform:translateY(-4px) translateX(8px)"><br/></div></div></div><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:column;flex-grow:1;justify-content:center;margin-bottom:24px"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;margin-bottom:6px;width:224px"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;width:144px"><br/></div></div></a><div style="color:#c9c8cd;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center;text-overflow:ellipsis;white-space:nowrap"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C1LV_IcvD0a/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" style="color:#c9c8cd;line-height:17px;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">A post shared by Perry choi (@choi.perry)</a></div></div></blockquote><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p><em>Your Honor </em>host Chariz Solomon, who also joined the same competition, confirmed that not knowing their hairstyle back then was part of the challenge.</p><p>&quot;Part &#x27;yun ng challenge na hindi mo talaga alam ano magiging hitsura mo. &#x27;Yung kaba, &#x27;yung stress, like kung paano &#x27;yung trabaho natin dito, di natin alam kung ano ang susunod so ganyan &#x27;yun,&quot;
