What are some hair styling tips for Asian men?
I'm an Asian guy, and I totally know what you mean about the hair sticking up-- apparently our hair is stronger and thicker and resists flattening down smoothly like white people hair! But that's not to worry; if you grow out the hair on the sides of your head to 3-4 inches, you can use a bit of pomade to keep it down while playing with interesting looks for the rest of your 'do! You can keep some bangs 4-5 inches long in the front of your face. This is versatile because you sweep them to the side, sweep them back (upward), or let them dangle over your forehead. In addition, you can cut the hair on the top of your head to 2-4 inches and play with some pomade/gel. This can contrast the conservative-looking side part of your bangs, for example, with a messy, just-out-of-bed look for the rest of your hair, an interesting juxtaposition that she is sure to notice. To do this, first wet your hair slightly (a shower and slightly drying it with a towel works great, or a spray bottle filled with water), and get some pomade or gel (Crew or the Japanese Gatsby Moving Rubber, for example). Put it on your fingers. Mess up your hair so it sticks up, possibly mostly waving in one direction, and rises maybe 1-2 inches from your head.To keep the hair on the sides of your head from sticking up, first wet your hair slightly. Get some pomade (American Crew seems popular, find a hold that works for you) and smoosh a small bit among your palms this time. Run them down the hair on the sides of your head, and finish by using a blow dryer at a 45 degree angle facing down and outward, held a few inches above your head for each side. The blow dryer will dry your wet, pomade-d hair in a downward direction and keep the hold for the rest of the day, helping your pomade keep loose hairs from springing up. The key is to smooth down the sides AFTER you do the top of your head, or else you'll mess up your perfectly-messed-up look! Remember to wash the remaining gunk off your hands!
What is the difference between step cut and layer cut ?
Layer cut: Layers blend, there are no spacing in between each cut hair. So there should not be any gaps from each layer. It has a flow.Step cut: is a type of layer that has spacing in between. The layers do NOT blend. You can see "steps" in the hair, meaning, you see the layers more in a step cut than you do in a layered cut.
Does short hair make you look more fat?
I have a pixie cut at the moment, and people have been telling me that I look thinner with shorter hair than longer hair.But be aware, shorter hair does bring more focus upon your face shape and your facial features, so that might be an important thing to consider if you’re thinking about getting a short haircut.And getting a pixie cut won’t make you instantly feel like a supermodel - I’ve had mine for about 3 years, and I’m still not happy about the way it makes my jawline and cheeks look. The chances of anyone being 100% happy with a certain haircut are pretty slim.If you’re still not sure, I would suggest going for a short bob or something similar to that. So if you don’t like it, then you won’t have to wait as long to grow it out. Trust me, I have grown out a pixie cut before, and it is not a fun process (it basically becomes a mullet).Also, really short hair takes much more effort and money to maintain. You basically need to get it cut every 3 or 4 months if you don’t want it to end up looking messy. So, if you’re a student, or if money is an issue, maybe consider getting a slightly easier short style.
