Asian hairstyles did not normally stand out in the past. Many times Asian hairstyles were done to match other cultures’ hairstyles but that has changed in the not too distant past. Several different styles will now come based off of the high quality that is Asian hair. Hair tends to be thick and is very straight. Playing off of that strength, you can do many different textured looks, whether you like short or medium length hair. If you want to go beyond medium length, you should layering your hair (better not to go beyond shoulder length most times). Medium length hair is best as textured and can project an image of someone who is modest but takes care of his looks. Going shoulder length should dictate that you layer your hair and this can give you a preppy look as a result.

Those who wish to appear more rebellious are doing so by wearing their hair in a razored mullet or razor cut shag. This uneven cut shows a man to be very self assured and a bit defiant of authority.

Short textured hair is a good choice for anyone who likes to remain with the traditional look but class it up a bit. This works especially well if you want to remain cool but remain within the confines of socially acceptable for a conservative working professional. If you are a younger Asian male and want to push the edges, you may want to do messy spiky hair. This hairdo has more of an urban theme to it and completely pushes the borders on what these hairstyles are all about.

While western men have their own version of the faux-hawk, the Asian version is much edgier. Here, the sides, back, and top of the hair are left long. The hair is styled using pomade to produce messy looking spikes all over the head with the stripe down the center being allowed to lean each direction at random.

Another popular choice is the uneven, emo look that has caught on all around the world for both men and women. The fringe is brushed down over one eye to give one an air of mystery.

How To Spike Asian Hair

Kim Junsu hairstyle with spike.A growing number of young Asian men are choosing to wear spiky hairstyles. Some are simple straight spikes. Others are working to get the kind of styles commonly seen in anime characters. Spiky hairstyles are among the easiest to produce on Asian men, but not all know how to spike Asian hair.

One of the easiest methods is simply to have the hair cut to a length of one half to one inch. Asian hair is very coarse and stiff, meaning that it naturally wants to stand up from the head. In addition, men in this region are prone to have a larger number of cowlicks, or unruly patches of hair that do not want to be tamed. At this length, it is possible to simply run the fingers through the hair to get a spiked look with no product. A small amount of pomade or wax can hold the spikes in place for long periods.

For those with longer hair, it might be necessary to pull it into the spikes and position them where desired. A bit of wax or pomade can hold them in place. Due to the coarseness of the hair, it can be placed in straight up spikes or they can be directed sideways like many anime characters’ hair.

Some choose to go with larger spikes, such as the style worn by Goku in Dragonball Z. This involves separating the hair into sections and forming each section into its own spike with a thick base and a point at the tip. It is necessary to use strong gel hairspray to provide hold for this type of spikes.

Spike Asian hair is not difficult. Men in this region have hair that tends to want to stand up from the head more often than not. This makes it a simple matter of choosing where one wants spikes to be located and what direction they should point. Then apply the appropriate product to hold the spikes in place.

Asian hair is thicker and holds more moisture than most other ethnic groups. This gives men many more options when it comes to styling their locks. Asian hair is also normally black and very straight. Treatments such as perms or dying the hair a lighter color can be used in combination with any of the above cuts and styling techniques to give one a truly unique look.

Surprise Pops of Color Winter is a great time to play with rich hues by adding a few pops of jewel toned highlights. How to Style: 1. Apply smoothing cream to towel dried hair. 2. Blow dry with a paddle brush to achieve maximum smoothness. 3. Use a flat iron to smooth any unruly locks and give layers around your face a subtle bend on the ends. Product Recommendation: A good shampoo and conditioner are the foundation to any style (you wouldn’t build a house on a shaky foundation, would you?). Since the air is drier during the winter months, make sure to nurse your locks with extra hydration. I recommend Onesta’s Hydrating Shampoo & Moisture Balance Conditioner. Face Shape and Hair Density:  This style is great for any face shape and for medium to thick densities. I’ll Take My Waves On The Side Take one look at the red carpet and you’ll find almost every actress is loving the side swept look. How to Style: 1. Starting with clean dry hair, cu...

The Effects of Stress on Your Hair

The Effects of Stress on Your Hair WebMD Feature By Joseph Saling Reviewed By  Laura J. Martin, MD   It has been said that stress can make you go gray, or cause you to lose your hair. But can it?  Even though you sometimes feel like tearing your hair out because of personal, economic, and work-related stress, stress isn"t likely to be the direct cause of hair turning gray. Some studies have shown that unavoidable damage to the DNA in cells that produce the pigment responsible for hair color is most likely the culprit. But can stress accelerate the aging process and, as a result, cause you to go gray sooner than you otherwise would? Right now, the answer is debatable. "We have all witnessed the graying hair of many past presidents," says Amy McMichael, MD, professor of dermatology at Wake Forest Baptist Health in Winston-Salem, N.C. "Perhaps over long periods of stress, there may be an acceleration of gray hair in some people." But, s...
