QuoteReplyTopic: Help, my hair naturally grows into a bowl cut. Posted: April 28 2004 at 7:16pm
It's...ingrained in my dna. I think it's what you would def call "asian hair." Can anyone help me with this? I usually grow my hair long and it's annoying cuz it always gets in my eyes and it's hard to move it off to the side without using gel or hairspray (i really don't dig that stuff). Also i think i've reached that point now where my hair stops growing downwards and insteads gets thicker and thicker, resembling a mushroom... I've been using a bar of soap to wash my hair (punker friend tips) and it's been working, my hair is more "scruffy" and i can manage it, but i think my hair is becoming immune. I don't know what to ask for when i get a haircut, but it usually ends up looking the same for some reason. Can anyone please help me with this? i was thinking of something like this: http://www.soundgarden.civ.pl/foto/chris/chris39.jpg
oooh btw, i have absolutely no knowledge about hair stuff (if you didn't already noticed). like i don't know what "layering" means but someone told me to try that. just fyi....

Bar of Soap?? Dude, there are many type of shampoo out there, why bar of soap. Yeah it would look scruffy, but after a while your hair will become like dry grass, unless you put gels and stuff on it. You dont really want to have gel and stuff on your hair 24 hours a day. I did it and it was no picnic. If you want a haircut like that guy just bring it to the barber/hairdresser. They will know what to do. I think layering the hair means that, when you cut the hair it will be layered with the hair underneath longer than the above layer of hair. If your hair is still to bushy, get a mild relaxer. It will make your hair softer if it is done right. Or you could use a quality shampoo that will moisturize the hair and makes less bushy
My hair is thick and straight and grows like a bowl. I found, on a fully dry head of hair, using your finger tips to rub small amounts of gel on to your scalp creates more body. This makes the base of your hair stiff, allowing you to choose the direction you want a patch of hair to take. You can then use a brush to style your hair. After you brush, lightly apply gel through hair to help keep its shape. Try avoiding the tips of the hair as it weighs it down and tends to return to its original bowl shape. I think you might be able to achieve the same style as the sound garden guy in the pic you posted given your hair is long enough. Post a reply if you try it out, as I'm curious as well. GL.
