Long hair vs short hair for Asians

it depens on attitude, face and clothes

Hi Aeryn

Ditto... there are a lot of variables, one of them being face shape. Another one being fine/coarse-ness of the hair strand. (When I used to have a short half-pixie, it tended to spike out and poof up. I blame the inflexibility of my individual hairs.)

The other big thing is your degree of perfectionism or lack thereof. Many Asian women stress over frizz issues, or "poofing" issues. If a person expects their hair to be perfect, a shorter cut will be more doable.. since hair warps with heat styling. Short hair is of course more easily replaced by new growth. Warping is more apparent in long hair... not to mention heat styling makes growing so much more difficult (risk of breakage, decrease in luster, etc.).

Personally I think long hair on Asian people tends to make the person look more traditional, which I like. Even long hair on guys to me looks rather traditional, like old Chinese movies.

Bleh, my face doesn't go with long hair but I'm inching for fingertip length anyway! :)

Happy growing and brightest blessings,

kuroneko,
This is off topic of this post, but about your signature ...have you tried lightening your hair to yellow, then using a blue dye with a little more of a purple look to it? The purple should counter the yellow and you should wind up blue.

I agree its all about a traditional vs a funky look. Personally I think Asian women look a lot more interesting with a medium short, kind of scattered cut that can be worn in many ways. The long straight hair is really traditionally pretty, but also somewhat common and boring.

My wife is Filipina and just cut hers again after about 3 years long. She's getting a lot more attention. She's had everything from a very short pixie to mid back, blond to red to black. Overall I think between chin and shoulder with lots of layers and craziness is probably the best on her. As said the really short cuts tend to poof out.

Without stereotyping I think that there is lots of traditionalism in the way many Asian girls get their short hair cut as well. They go from traditional young woman long hair(long and silky) to a traditional moms short cut(blah and shapeless but easy to manage) and then decide short hair looks bad. A lot really does depend on the cut.

How tragic that living in low-lying coastal areas was responsible for many tsunami deaths throughout Asia.






I don't know that I believe the premise offered by the reporter. They see the aftermath and make conclusions from it. How do they know the women weren't already dead, before their hair was caught in the brambles/tress? Lots of people with short hair died, too.

Sometimes my hair tickles my neck when I laugh.

lmao. Long male hair gives sex to ladies?? ahaHaHAhAAHhAHAAHaHAAHAAHaHAHhAHAhAaHaAHAHaHAaHaHAAHaHAAHahaAHaHaALHAHaAHaHAHaAHaHlKDNwegWREagarelwhGKLREANGlkN

Not cutting your hair just because of your religion? BULLSH*T! You have the right to have your hair cut, or let it grow. It's your hair, it is part of your body, so no one can touch it without you permission. Well, I'm an Asian with not to long hair, medium length.

Also, you like short and funky hair, and you said it's probably because you're 14. That's another bullsh*t. lmao
