When the idea of Asian hairstyles pop into the mind, most people tend to picture a very well groomed rocker. With the fringes and highlights, it is no surprise why. However, this is very misleading. Asian youth are usually the only ones who wear this kind of style. In fact, most Asian hairstyles are very trendy for many other reasons.
One of the most popular looks today, for women, is a short, cropped style with fringed ends and straight bangs. Those who wear their hair long usually have beautiful curls with the sometimes added slanted bang. Even though the other looks are more common, some women will wear their hair straight. Most of these looks are below shoulder length or longer and usually with no bangs, Lucy Liu for an example.
The popular Asian men's hairstyle, more than often, actually does fall into the punk rocker category, but men tend to be very versatile. From shaved heads to long and wild, there is no exact man Asian hairstyle. Guys can be very simple, but some have crazy spikes in every direction. Straight with bangs and ear length is a very common look. Some will let their hair fall in front of their face and gel the back so it stands in crazy styles. Men can be more creative than women at times with their locks.
Color runs a little more subtle with Asian hairstyles. Women, if they are not going natural, will add a little red or blonde. It is usually not to stand out, but to lighten the hair up. Sometimes, the younger women will add bright pinks or reds to their hair, and on the jet black, it tends to pop. Men will usually stick to the au natural when it comes to dying. Some, however, will add a few highlights like women. It is not uncommon to also see a man with some variation of dyed red hair.
From simple and elegant to bright colors and gel, the Asian hairstyle has it all. Creativity is almost always found and used to fit any outfit. These hairstyles are very diverse and can be used across the globe for not only Asians, but anyone looking for a modern hairstyle.
