The difference in Asian hair that separates it from other hair is the natural glossy look it has. The Asian hair is always black. The other side of the Asian hair usually lacks texture. Asian hair also usually lacks body. Asian hair is also known for their thickness.

For two hundred and fifty years women of the Asian culture pulled their hair back into a bun fashion and used wax to hold it in place. The women then used different types of décor in their hair like flowers, ribbons, and hair sticks. Later women had a slightly different style they would put a loop of hair on top and an almost box looking hairstyle at the nape of the neck. Later in more modern time the look was more simplified they would simple pull the hair back and use two ribbons to secure it, one at the top of the hair and the other at the lower section of the hair.

One of the most common problems we have seen with Asian hair is its lack of body. Using a layered cut will help give your hair body. You can also obtain body for you hair by using a softer and natural perm solution. Try using a perm product designed to create a wavy look to add body to your hair. Remember though with Asian hair it is best not to use chemicals to close to the scalp. To help with texture you may want to consider highlights. When dying your hair it will add movement, texture, and sometimes depth to your hair. Trying a leave in conditioner or an over night conditioner will help you to better control your hair as well.

There are numerous hairstyles you can try such as adding colorful braid throughout your hair. Recently Asian women have gone with shorter hair to style. Layering and teasing the hair making it look to have a lot of body. If you prefer to keep you long locks try using heating curlers at the end of your hair and putting it in a simple ponytail. The hot curlers will add enough of a curl at the end to create a new look. When selecting a new style make sure you are comfortable with how you feel about it. Don’t be afraid to try new things and experiment with your hair to determine what best suits you. Willing to experiment with your hair and different products gives you more chances to find the right look you want.

Today is the time to decide what is best for you and not what everyone else thinks. If you are comfortable with yourself then be happy and try new things you never know when experimenting with your hair will turn into a great new style.
