what colour asian look good in? other than black

well what colour?

For many asians, they'd look good in chestnut brown, deep red, auburn, light brown, chocolate brown and praline brown. Any hint of gold and red look good on most asians. Burgundy is considered a wild color and can suit many, but I'm not a big fan of cherry or burgundy colors 'cause they look icky on me but gorgeous on others depending on their skintone. L'oreal Excellence Hi-color especially made for dark hair produces deepest and vibrant shades (available at Sally Beauty stores). I'm a big fan of vibrant non-orange reds, esp. on long hair.

*I've been reading how it's a huge fad now in Japan for women(and some men) to color their hair brown or auburn/red. I guess a very large percentage of Japanese girls and women 18-35 yr. old age group are doing this and the middle aged and older Japanese are horrified at this. They think that the young Japanese are attempting to westernize themselves too much.
I believe it's just a fad or trend and that eventually most of the young Japanese people will go back to their naturally dark hair. Of course I could be wrong about that. Who knows?
*I have also read that the younger generation of Japanese, because of their change in diet, eating more meat and potatoes and western food, are bigger and taller than previous generations.
*That isn't all good, a western diet isn't necessarily healthier than a traditional Japanese diet.

im going plat blond.... just done 4 bleaches, so its kinda pale yellow.. waiting for my plat blonde toner to arrive to go WHITE!!!

it doestn look so bad as long as u arent too fair (oriental)

I'm Chinese-American. I have black hair. I've never had the desire to wear my hair any other color. Dark hair is natural for me and it's my belief that brunette hair looks best on most Asians.

It depends. It's better to find an open-minded colorist who can color Asian hair because most do not or recommend against it. I had my highlights done by an Asian hairdreser without any protest and did a great job. Foiled highlights are expensive but worth it. As for DIY, it can accummulate a lot of moola if you're not doing it correctly. It takes about 2 to 4 rounds of bleaching Asian hair to pale yellow with 40 volume developer. It's insane. But it depends on each individual and it certainly will fry your hair if you're not careful. That's why I said highlights are better if you want to be a pale blonde, be it ash blonde or beige blonde. I think Asians look better with beige blondes than ash or golden blondes. A hint of warmth without too much warmth or ashy tones.

I just do not see why anyone would want to dye their black hair another colour. But then...I want black hair.

I think that purple can look good too. Either in chunks or stripes or all over. It looks really effective on darker Asian skin and looks quite gothic/punk. think that's a good look, and a bit different.

as for something conservative, I think red-based colours look best.

Anything between Medium brown and Black.

I prefer black. I really hate blonde (be it on a american, european or asian woman. It just looks fake, and it makes me feel sick (honestly, my stomach starts causing me grief).

Black thick hair. whether its wavy, curly, or straight. It looks beautiful! Especially when oiled. Natural hair is always best :).

If its brown, then thin/fine hair. Thick oils like olive don't work well with fine hair! My father has fine, brown, straight hair and it looks like he has loads of bald patched all over when he uses olive oil >.<.

Whereas my mother has Frizzy wavy black hair (its kind of thick, doesnt seem like it) and when its oiled it look pretty cool (she uses lighter oils, such as jojoba.)

However, my siblings and I have very thick, coarse, straight, black hair. Its a nightmare, however, when we apply a mixture of olive oil and water, it looks very cool!

We're asian, but Pakistani, and its said that we have caucasoid hair, but I dont think so, its very different to western hair; and very similar to Chinese and Japanese hair (or far-eastern countries).

Pink would be nice.
