Asian Hairstyles

There is a great variety of Asian hairstyles available for the person looking for one. Indeed, keeping in mind the vastness of cultures that consider themselves Asian, the number of Asian hairstyles to choose from is so huge that one can never quite explore all of them; and one actually has to just go with the Asian Hairstyle that offers something close to the look they desire.

What makes the availability of so many Asian hairstyles possible is the fact that that Asian hair is very highly workable - so that if you have Asian hair, by simply arranging the hair in a different way every morning, you can end up with a new and absolutely authentic hairstyle every morning that is absolutely different from the one you wore the previous day.

Nonetheless, perhaps as a result of popular people in the society wearing them, some Asian hairstyles have come to be popular than others - with many of these spreading their appeal far beyond the Asian continent.

A good example of these Asian hairstyles that has found widespread appeal beyond the confines of Asia is the flippy haircut, which makes a particularly appealing option for people with hair that is considered of medium height (which in other parts of the world might be considered very long hair). As the name suggests, the flippy haircut is made by growing your hair to medium height till it falls over to your shoulders, and then flipping it towards the eye (left or right) on the front part of head, to end up with that hard to ignore look. To enhance the look, you might also consider parting it in the middle. This look, though widely found all over the world today, has its look in Asia.

Another example of the Asian hairstyles that have found widespread appeal beyond the confines of the Indian continent is the hairstyle known as the 'short bob.' Here, the idea is to make the hair into short bobs (by growing it to medium height, but never letting it fall over) and then treating and combing it so that the bobs, at least most of them, lie to the left and to the right of the head, rather than to the back of the head.

The curled look is yet another of the Asian hairstyle that have found widespread appeal outside Asia. The way Asian hair curls though, has made it difficult for non Asians to replicate this exact look, unless they first subject their hair to treatment that makes it look like Asian hair before curling it. The distinguishing thing with Asian hair curls is that they tend to grow a bit wispy - which can often result in a very alluring look. The curled Asian hairstyles work best for very long hair, and thankfully, in most Asian cultures, growing one's hair very long is not socially frowned upon - of course as long as you can take good care of it.
