Thumbnail is exactly what I’m going through rn😂 For the first time the solution for me was to wrap a towel around the sides of my head after shower then remove them after it’s dry, it is not perfect but at least I look less like a grandpa or heihachi 😂
@carlcubeY 1 week few days or 2 weeks in minimum but i solved my problem using a towel to wrap the sides of my hair after every time I shower…. Another fix to that is the right side of my hair usually stays down while the left side stays up like that so to get that done you can just take part of your hair, make a hairline in between (not exactly in the middle of your face) but starting a little from the left and then make it go down toward the left that solved the problem for me, let me know if this has helped you too
@carlcubeY oh my bad I didn’t get the question 🤣 Umm so if you wrap it with a towel, you can just hold it till it drys or for 8-10 minutes, depending on type of hair mine lasted for days, I don’t use anything on my hair except some ordinary protein hair cream after shower….
@@jetblackhair92 don't know if you hair is long, but you may have had the same problem, was your sides pointing outwards? If so should I grow it out then trim it so it doesn't go over my ears or look weird?
@@Mlusc82if u keep cutting your damn hair then how it ever grow long?! I stuck out till 14 month’s currently of growing my mane 🦁 and I’m still facing struggles but u don’t give up cuz long hair for men is a lifetime commitment, it ain’t for those who are impatient who lack commitment…
What I have to do every day is use a flat iron to bend my hair so it’s not sticking straight out. I know it’s damaging but I keep it short anyway and it keeps me for looking like a buffoon
I always considered Asian hair to be not straight like your typical European person, but curved. When it gets long it doesn't fall straight down but kind of grows almost up and the longer it is the more easily you can see a curve along the strand
Answer: Asian hair is super thick and straight its almost like tiny needles when cut short. For it to have a volume, you need to add length and weight. I mean you can always get a perm. If you do decide to add length and weight. You might wanna seek a decent enough barber who is good at layering. This will fix that awkward growing out phase and give you a lil more trimmed or slickback look.
If you're Asian and didn't grew up on the west coast with a lot of other Asians, you're pretty much guaranteed to grow up with an internalized inferiority complex if you grew up in places where there are very few Asians like in the Mid-West or the South. It's the complete opposite when white people go to an Asian country, they actually get a superiority complex because they're typically treated like royalty in Asia even though they are a minority there. The old colonial mentality still exists even to this day.
There is a significant line from the 1991 movie Boyz n the Hood where the character Furious Styles stated that "The best way you can kill a people is you take away their ability to reproduce themselves". That is exactly what white male Western society and their media have been doing to Asian men for the last century, so much to the extent that even the vast majority of westernized Asian women internalize it and thus do not find Asian men attractive. The old colonial mentality still exists today: white men feel entitled to Asian women to serve their sexual needs, but they also feel that Asian men should not be allowed access to white women, just like how White Western laws were written in the early 1900s during the Yellow Peril era.
I am a black woman and western media like showing overweight black women instead of a variety of black women. They also show light skin women as more beautiful also. I think Asian men and black women should be in control of their own image. Most people on the planet are people of color or Asian anyways so I do not know why white minorities are wanting to put their beauty standard on everyone when most people don’t look like them. It’s attractive people in every group. Great bone structure makes an attractive face , not ethnic features. You guys are very handsome.
Growing up in Socal, there were almost no Asians in my area, El Segundo. A lot of White and Mexicans. I was bullied a lot, partly because of being Asian, but I never had self-hatred. Instead, I was in perpetual cognitive dissonance because my parents kept saying I was better than everyone else, and my grades showed it, I couldn't understand the hatred from everyone else and I never internalized it. Instead of self-hatred, I became hateful of everyone else, sometimes of other races, but by far the thing I grew to hate the most was incompetence, weakness, and stupidity. It's really important to have a good family that will support you along your way. I'm not saying that growing up hating everyone else is a good thing, but it is BETTER than growing up hating yourself. Some self-doubters end up completely failing at life as a result, but at least I didn't.
@@theamresource you’re welcome, forgot to mention that once I went to college and there were a ton of Asians, none of the ABCs who grew up in high-density Asian areas like SF, Pasadena, and Cerritos shared any of my experiences, no bullying or anti-Asian sentiment. All they remember is extremely competitive high school. In contrast it was very easy for me to be salutatorian in my high school.
@@theamresource also need to stop punishing Asians for their hard work. Asians get no societal support because even though they are perceived negative socially, they tend to have good jobs and high incomes, And nobody feels bad for them. They even think it’s because of Asian privilege, when in reality they worked their axxes off.
Bro, totally understand. I grew up in East Rialto in mid 90's. I had the typical Korean looking hairstyle, but at the time, you would get beat up looking like that. So I converted to the american military cut, spiky hair, shaved head for most of my life. It's only now I'm trying to grow it back out. But now my hair went from typical asian hair to this asian looking fro; super volume and I look like I just went through a wind tunnel.
working out with someone way fitter than you is a big deterrent to new gym goers. I never fully got into exercise until I got my first gym membership. I prefer to work out alone. Working out with advanced fitness people gives you the illusion that working out is much harder than it actually is or needs to be.
Men love Asian women. However, we must realize that Asian men are not the competition, but instead they are the necessary genetic feedstock to produce Asian women for the world’s benefit for future generations. To that end, the world 🌎 thanks you. I suppose that Asian men would reply “you’re welcome … I guess”.
