show your barber the reference photos. giving it a name won't be effective because they wouldn't know what it means, most likely. and describing it leaves it too vague. the more angles of the haircut the better.
I think your ability to get that haircut without products will be very dependent on how your natural hair is
ok i think he had a perm i just misunderstood one of his comments
wavy perm prolly
was gonna also say I’m kinda doubtful that’s no perm lol
With how the hair curves at the top
where do i find good stylists
i paid my usual barber twelve dollars for a cut and she fucked me up
Either recs from people you know or find well rated places with instagrams or pics
it only looks good like a month and a half after cutting it 💀
It’s gonna be expensive and fairly higher maintenance
For reference I pay $200 for a perm and haircut
About every 2 months
Maintenance depends on what you get though
i’m trying to stay away from perm cuz it’ll dmg my hair and my hairline is on a thin line
I could do every 3 months and do just a haircut halfway but I drive up to LA for 2 hours for it
So not worth doing half when I spend $50 in gas anyway
sheesh
i’m tryna get a low maintenance cut
one that i would only need to cut every 3 months
this is me and my look alike any recommendations
that’s a lotta driving tho ngl
max i would drive is 30 mins
I don’t have any particular recommendations, but the reason you need to redo perms is they straighten out overall and the root will grow flat since your natural hair is like that
and like 40 dollar haircut including tip
so just think about that if you want something that you can do less
Oops though kinda forgot you don’t want a perm lol when I said that
yea also i’m kind of a brokecel so i don’t rlly have the money to redo perms liek that lmao
lmao it’s ok
for reference this the cut i told my barber
Tbh 3 months is a long time to go between haircuts. Unfortunately, hair like yours and mine grow kinda bowly because of how straight it goes lol
If you let it grow too long
You’ll at least need to trim the sides
noooo i gotta go to great clips then at uni
That guy has a perm btw, just rolled down
r u srs
it looked hella natural to me
damnit
do i have to get a perm for my hair to look good
Well the main thing is that a lot of Asian hair grows really straight and flat
So it has no natural curvature
If you see someone with variation in the curvature of their hair it’s a perm probably lol
i tried some texturizing cream my friend had it did nothing to my hair
my friend with already curly hair
I’m not a hair expert or anything though, so if anyone knows better or I said wrong feel free to correct lol
Just have kinda started doing more with my hair in the last 2 years
atp i think i’ll just get a two block and pray it doesn’t look like shit
i’ve never asked for one
honestly i’m ok with styling my hair with a blow dryer
i’d rather spend ten minutes every morning than looking like an ugly asshole
no you don’t have to get a perm, but a $12 cut is going to give you a $12 cut lol. Yeah your hair looks coarse and it’d be straight and heavy. if you’re using any products, you would need a combination of strong products, blow drying, even hair spray if necessary to achieve anything similar
If your budget is limited honestly I don’t think this is terrible, if you just keep it maintained
I feel like your money is better spent getting it trimmed every month
gas or ass if no perm
Just keep the sides and back reasonable
how easy is it to trim my own hair
I feel like this could be no perm, but you definitely have to use hair wax or something to get this
You can’t get volume without any products on Asian hair like this
i think there’s a hair cutter thing in my house somehow
somehwre*
I dunno, I’ve never done my own hair lol
@shuviten can i achieve this look with just gel/wax or whatever
actually nvm looks like a cut where i have to trim every week
yoo waittt a minute
it’s a 5$ trim at great clips
@shuviten u kinda spittin maybe i just keep my hair like this and just trim every month
Could see that working
i was worried they might fuck up my hair and i pay like 20$ but it’s hella cheap
and no way they can fuck it up that bad
for a trim
i meant like the hair i ahve rn
I don’t wanna give anything too concrete advice wise because I’m not that familiar or into hair lol
lol i’m gonna go to a hair stylist anyways and try a two block
it might be magic
thx for help
I honestly kinda just went through a good number of hairstylists and asked them what they thought would look good and after trying different things picked what I liked lol
ye i think imma ask them a haircut that would give my hair texture
there’s one thing tho i ain’t def going back to the hairstylist i tried a year ago 💀💀
this was my ref pic
U definitely don’t need a perm but a $12 cut is high-risk and you are gonna need some kind of maintenance. I’m decently happy with my hair but it needs a blow dry + product for decent volume
I pay $70 for a hair cut every 6 weeks or so - a good perm is pretty expensive as previously mentioned. Getting decent texture in your hair is also not easy
Cheap haircuts look like cheap haircuts like everyone is saying, go to a real hair person and talk to them about what you want, they will know hair better than any of us and will actually be able to give you advice and help you find a haircut that works for you
I cut my own hair, it’s possible to do it yourself but you should at the very least find a haircut that works for you with a professional first
It is very possible for great clips to fuck up your hair when you go for a trim every 2 weeks or whatever
i get a perm and cut every 6 months cause i’m a freak but i’m always wearing a hat or beanie the last 2 months of it
straight asian hair is just tough to style or texturize and i spent too long trying products that took too much time and effort with no great results
@The Teenage Gentleman lol's Hairstyle is very good 👍
not as a teenager
respectfully
i think my hair goes well for anyone lol its literally a bit of a middle part lol
i dont put any product in my hair
that guy is smoking crack that is not permed
how
source
i have had a perm
from a korean salon
also the easiest solution is dont go to a barber and just go to a salon
and then ideally an asian hair salon
Perm smell bad.
