love your asian hair

Asian Invasion, love your new avatar! Your hair looks great :) Do shoot me an email now and then.

Aznmitsugrl, I just wanted to say hi and nice to meet you ... Sounds like you've got lovely hair and I look forward to getting to know more of it.

Blessings,
Anais

I used Herbal Essence for the first time I dyed it purple, and then I used the Power Reds by Loreal in the Ruby Rush, I think for the second time. =)

I miss my black hair too, but I'm waiting until April to dye it back to black.

hail asian hair for being durable and dependable

Hi, I'm a new member.

I love my asian hair. I live in a very rural part of the US, and there are very few Asians around here, and those that I see never care for their hair.

I never blowdry my hair unless I'm in a rush, and I just straighten it to even out a few waves and frizzes when it finishes air drying.

I have a beautiful (if I do say so myself) texture to my hair. My hair is thick, each strand is equal to at least 4 strands of many other's people's hairs. It's very cooperative with so much stuff.

My asian hair dyes pretty easily. The only complaint I have is that I recently dyed (recently meaning back in early August) my hair with purple, and it didn't show up unless I was in the sun. So I bought a bottle of the new line of red hair dye by L'Oreal, and it was beautiful. Too bad that the dye washes out each time I shampoo (I do use a color-safe shampoo). Reds are just so hard to stick in my hair. Right now, I have a red-brown-purple color, but it's mostly a brown shade, so I'm hoping to dye it again sometime in the next few months.

same here... but my hair is dark brownish and has lighter hilights that r usually not noticable (and it had a very noticable reddish tint last year...) buuut i usually dont like it when ppl w/ asian hair color it cuz it turns out very unnatural

Hi Katy,

I'm sorry you feel that way...
Strange how the grass is always greener on the other side. I'm not trying to make others like something they don't, but instead am trying to connect with others who feel the same way I do. Yes, I have frizz, yes, my hair doesn't dry evenly, yes it's thick and has a lot of volume, yes it's curl-resistant.. but I make peace with it. All of it. And yes, people tell me I'm weird.

Your hair will always be yours no matter what, so I do hope that someday you will find something that works for your/our hair type.

Good luck and hugs,
Anais

I am perfectly satisfied with the coarseness of each strand and its response to moisture and conditioning. The color is a perfect shade of a natural dark brown. Most Asians I know tend to wish their hair was somehow different. Well, for the rest of you, come out of the woodwork! as an asian girl i hate my hair its sooooooooo thick it's unmanagable, therefore have to put so much s**t on it for it just to look decent! also i live in london, england so most of the shops have stuff for white people even for black people but not asian people!!!!!!!!!!!

After years of despising it's flat texture and color.

I now know, after so much experimenting and observation, that I love how strong and thick it is. How with the right tools, I really can do things with it.

I also thought my hair was eternally black. But I regret coloring it after see that it was really a hidden dark brown.

The farther east you go in the world, the coaser hair is. It wouldn't have survived all the torture I put on it if it wasn't so.

I don't have "Asian" hair (obviously) but I greatly admire the beauty (as you've described so well, Anais) of it, especially when worn long.

I think the "grass is greener on the other side of the fence" syndrome may apply. I can't help but think that it has more to do with wanting to "stand out" from the "crowd" than with any inherent dislike of their hair's natural qualities.

I like the shade of my hair but my hair is English in texture thanks to my mixed origins. I adore pure Asian hair- so straight, shiny, silky...perfect. My mother had that hair until she messed it up with a bad perm. Now it's just bleh but she doesn't care though.
