Asian Hairstyles

Asian hairstyles can go from very soft and feminine to extreme and elegant.

If you are an Asian person, it is almost certain that you have been complimented for your beautiful hair.

«Who would not like to have a silky hair like yours?»

But like any other type of hair, Asian hair has its own needs and limits, so it is important to stay informed about what Asian hair can or cannot do.

Asian people usually have black, dark brown or  medium brown hair, but if you are a mixed ethnicity person, you could have other tones in your hair.

Pure Asian hair is usually darker and it is also more resistant when it comes to dyeing  in a different color or treat it with chemical products.

If you want to dye Asian hair a lighter color, you will probably need to use a bleach treatment to get the exact color that you are looking for.

Even though Asian hair is usually thick and dense, there are no two exactly identical hair types.

Every tpe of hair is special on its own way!

 Smooth and soft Asian hair

Asian hair also tends to be smooth as a stick or even a bit wavy, so you’ll rarely see an Asian woman or man with wild, unruly hairs.

Since straight hair implies a flat cuticle, each hair will reflect the light really well, giving Asian hair its beautiful and characteristic shine.

For Asian girls who want to keep their silky, smooth hairs, there is not much else to do to style their hair.

A conditioner application that is left on overnight will soften any stubborn strands, just as an oil spray will do for shine in the morning.

If you want to curl your hair, you will need to use a shampoo to increase the volume and a conditioner along with a curling iron.

A curling iron is an essential element for many Asian women; it’s a must have, no doubt.

And get ready to exhaust the hair spray after you have finished in order to get those curls to stay in place.

Hair care for all types of hair is divided into three principal factors: cleaning, avoiding split ends, and keeping the hairs hydrated.

Luckily, Asian hair shaft tends to be stronger than other types of hair, so you can afford to be a bit harder on your strands.

Although, you should use shampoo and hydrate your hair like the rest of the world does.

Wash your hair with shampoo every day to keep your hair clean and use an appropriate conditioner for your hair type.

Supplements are good enough for chemically treated hair, but can make virgin and oily hair look a little bit greasy.

Common struggles with Asian hair

If you are an Asian girl or women, then you know just how annoying it can be to do anything in order to style your hair, and we mean anything.

As a disclaimer, we all know that shiny Asian hair can inspire envy among many girls and women with curly hair.

You know what they say: «the grass is always greener on the other side”.

We can take this to make reference as everything looks better from the outside and don’t judge a book by its cover.

Having said that, we would like to address one specific and significant problem that all Asian girls and women have.

Asian hair is in fact slippery.

While others may see Asian hair as smooth and shiny, Asian girls and women see it as almost impossible to work with.

The overly flat texture of Asian hair makes it very difficult to create a style. Seriously, sometimes even a basic ponytail turns into a challenge for them.

Another very common problem for women and girls who have very fine hair like the Asian type is that very easily it rises.

In fact, it  looks as if the hairs were electrified throughout the head.

Or the fact that you can’t  wear pigtails or high buns because the hair weighs so much that everything just looks like the hair  is melting down.

Advices for Asian hair

The first thing you have to do is try to get a special product for straight hair.

The fact of using a special product to comb the straight Asian hair will give you many advantages.

The product that you use to comb the straight Asian hair has to be one that is ideal to eliminate the frizz.

It’s also important that it leaves the hair completely manageable and as smooth as possible.

Do, however, try to avoid products that will result in heavy and oily hair.

The use of a moisturizing product for all hair types is also very important.

This type of product you have to apply it only on the body of the hair and the utilization will also depend on the length your hair has.

If the moisturizer is applied to the hair roots it can result into the hair getting oilier than it should be.

In addition, it is very important at the time you untangle your hair and for every hairstyle you’ll do in general.

You should use a wide bristle comb or simply use your fingers to untangle your hair.

If you have some hairs that are rebellious and not so docile and also very small, it is necessary to opt for the use of some hair spray.

Apply a little amount of hair spray for the frizz and rebellious hairs.

Then you can apply a little more on the rest of the hair at a distance of 20cm approximately from your head.

To finish, comb your hair only with your hand by running your fingers all over your hair, this technique will put all of those rebellious hairs in place.

On the other hand, if you are going for a high hairstyle, then it is recommended that you use a bit of the back brushing technique.

This is to prevent high hairstyles from falling given the texture of the Asian hair.

The back brushing technique consist basically on brushing your hair from the middle part all the way back to your roots.

It creates volume and is also the perfect base for a high hairstyle.

In order to achieve a hairstyle with better grip, you have to help yourself with the mouse and the hair spray.

How to create volume in Asian hair

Our first recommendation in order to create volume in Asian hair, is that you change your part to create volume at the crown of your hair.

We know that you might have a favorite side of your head to part your hair.

Most of the time this side it’s where your hair likes to fall naturally, it could be the centre of your hair or the side that is closest to it.

The struggle is that this specific point is also where your hair looks the flattest, and you are accustoming it to stay that way.

Flipping your part to the opposite side from where you normally part it, creates instant volume illusion at the crown of your hair.

If you’re worried about looking unbalanced, then try to do it while your hair is still wet.

To build up more height, try a dramatic side part on the opposite side in dry hair.

You can also lightly apply a little bit of hair spray to hold it and lock it in place.

This is the model like type of look everybody has been talking about lately, which is a little bit ’80s vibe and super sexy.

Our second recommendation for you is to back brush the roots of the under-layers of your hair in order to create a soft volume in Asian hair.

This, however, does not necessarily consist on aggressively back-brushing your hair with a comb!

Agressive brushing can make huge tangles, which actually result into a nightmare to get rid of in the shower.

You can actually create soft volume in the crown of your hair by back-brushing the roots, using a large paddle brush for example.

One of the easiest techniques is to pick up the upper layer of the hair, keep it separate, and then back-brush the rest of your hair, part by part.

Holding each part extended and away from the head, brush in a descending motion at the roots in three fast strokes.

Finally, to make the created volume last, use a little bit of hair spray in each back-brushed area.

Once you have completed all the parts, let down the rest of the hair, leaving it even.

Our third recommendation is to Blow-dry your hair upside down in order to create instant and easy volume on your hair.

The best trick to a voluminous blow dried hair is just as simple as flipping your head upside down.

Blow dry

We know it sounds easy, that exactly how many hairstylists blow dry Asian hair.

Then they finish off the ends of the hair with a hair straightener, for a straight with volume type of look.

The reason why this technique works is because when you flip your head upside down, your roots are by design lifting off your scalp.

Asian women and girls like to use this technique to get their hair about 90 percent dry, and then they might do the final smooth out with a round brush.

You have to take into consider that if you have bangs, you should always dry them out in the normal position first.

Our fourth recommendation is to use a root booster product on damp hair before you blow-dry it.

Booster products

If you have Asian hair root, booster products have to become your friends.

Think of them as the framework to any hairstyle you want to wear.

Root booster products provide structure and support for any lift you create near the roots of your hair.

This will help any Asian hairstyle last all day or even a few days more.

When you look for a root booster product, make sure that is specifically designed for fine hair or Asian hair, so it won’t weigh your hair down.

You have to apply it all over the head, right at the scalp. Make sure you use it on wet hair, root booster products will not work once the hair is dry.

Our fifth recommendation is to throw in a set of hot rollers in order to get easy waves without all the work of using a curling iron.

Almost everyone forgets about hot rollers.

But hot rollers are pretty amazing.

Not like curling irons and flat irons, there is no special method required to use them.

Just throw them in while you are doing your makeup or choosing your outfit and 20 minutes later, you will have voluminous hair.

This is a great shortcut if your hair is already dry and it’s too late to create volume with the help of you blow drier.

In order to create volume with hot rollers, all you need to do is decide on which direction you want your waves to go to.

For example, if you roll your hair away from the face, this method gives you glamorous Hollywood type of waves.

On the other hand, if you do it towards the face it creates a more vintage effect.

To make your volume last, we suggest misting each section with hairspray before throwing in the hot rollers.

Let the rollers cool completely before removing them.

Finally, brush out and shape your waves for a soft and fancy look.

This look is feminine, voluminous and sexy. Every stare will be on you while showing off this gorgeous look.

Our sixth recommendation is to crimp the roots of the under-layers of your hair to make them stand out.

We all know that crimped hair was big trend back in the 80s and 90s decade, and now it is making a comeback but in a different way.

Just crimping at the roots, in the under-layers of the hair, is a creative way to bump up the texture and make it stand out.

We can say the result is a soft, natural looking voluminous hair.

The best part of this technique is that it only takes you a few minutes to do it, and not like curling irons and flat irons, requires zero experience.

And the top layer of hair completely hides the crimping from being too obvious.

Our seventh recommendation is that you sleep with wet hair in a bun overnight in order to wake up with volume and wavy hair.

Do not miss the scrunchie.

It is tremendously useful for this overnight volume trick with absolutely no heat required.

After taking a shower at night, pull your hair up into a high, loose bun while your hair is still damp.

Secure with a soft elastic that does not create creases.

Your hair will dry up lifted off the scalp, so when you wake up and take it down; you will have instant volume in your hair, plus a soft wavy look.

Another method to easily create volume while you sleep is with a stretchy fabric headband.

Wear it across your forehead and wrap sections of wet hair around it until all your hair is wrapped up, secure it with some hair pins if required.

Take it out the next morning, and you will have stunning Hollywood waves.

This classic look never gets old and anyone can pull it off.

Our eight recommendation for you is to apply dry shampoo right after any technique to prevent oils from sabotaging the volume you have created.

Do not wait until day two or three to use your dry shampoo.

You don’t have to wait until the very last minute to apply this produce.

By the time you notice your hair is starting to feel oily, the natural oils of your hair are already messing up your volume .

We recommend a preventive method by covering your scalp with a layer of dry shampoo as soon as you finish blow drying your hair.

By applying this method, you will have built up an obstacle to the oil, stopping it in its paths and facilitating your volume style to last more time.

Also we have to let you know that dry shampoo is naturally a volume building product.

Spray it through the length of the hair as well, to create even more smoothness.

Our ninth recommendation for you is to add some color to your hair.

Bleaching your hair can rough up the hair cuticle, since the hair gets thicker and gives it more body.

If you are not used to bleach your hair, then here is secret from those who do it.

The thing is not just about the bleaching or dyeing your hair another color, it is as well about the texture it gives to your hair.

A little bleach on your hair creates additional body and roughs up the hair, so the result is that your hair is not as slippery as before.

Ultimately a blessing for anyone, especially for those Asian women and girls, whose hair lies flat and are not able to hold a voluminous hairstyle.

But if you are not looking for a whole new hair color, there are different ways to profit from the volumizing effect of the bleaching technique.

A few baby highlights strategically placed can give make the difference.

Highlighy the medium part and towards the end of your hair and in a tone that looks good in combination with your hair color.

Also, you will not be having to worry about doing your roots when your hair starts growing.
