I have no asian in me, and the asian hair sounds just like my hair?!? I don't think classifiation by race is correct, or true people are individuals not that of a larger group. I don’t get it?

The main problem I have with my hair is that it is very flat, just like a lot of the hair of you Asian girls on here. I try to tease it, but it takes a great deal of gel and hairspray in order to get it to stay puffed up the way I want it. Also, it was hard to bleach. I had to bleach my black hair 3 times in order to dye it copper like I want. However, it grows really fast, and I can wear a lot of different styles. The biggest problem with being Eurasian is the fact that my hair is black, but not a vivid black like full East Asians. It is some sort of off-black dark brown mix. haha I’m half Japanese and half Caucasian, and I have thick hair but fine hair strands that are straight and shiny, and don’t really break.

I miss my black hair though some people say they like my hair color and they want it, some people have asked if I dyed my hair though, never tried to. well I’m half Chinese half-Vietnamese and I remember I used to be told my hair is soft and that Chinese hair is soft but that was when I was little and my hair was pitch black and my hair changed colors to golden brown when I got older.

(As far as I know, I'm 100% Chinese, as are my siblings and parents. We're from HK and southern China (canto region) My two sisters have very, very thick and frizzy(ish) hair that unless they style it (a lot more effort than I ever put in) or cut short it looks awful. It doesn't have the sleek natural look that we're well known for. My brother, younger sister and I on the other hand have the very silky, soft, and sleek hair that is the typical Asian hair. Mine is very thin (like when I put ALL of my hair into a ponytail my fingers overlap... a lot) but the individuals strands themselves are coarse. I love my hair a lot. My only problem is how flat it is in ALL the wrong places. Near my shoulders it starts to bulk up but by my head it just sits flat. v.v I can't tease it either so it always looks FLAT. This is a huge issue for me because I have a round face. >.> But my hair's pros (never gets messy, I wake up and twenty minutes later my hair is perfect, never need to straighten or blowdry unless I need dry hair, all I need to do is brush it... not necessarily with a brush/comb, fingers work fine too) far outweigh the cons (flatness, can't curl very well without 50lbs of hairspray) so I'm very satisfied with my hair. :) But do we really need different products? I've been using Herbal Essence for the past two years (it smells AMAZING) and it has been fine for me. There is also an array of Asian hairs.

I just shampoo and condition it daily and rarely hairspray or blow dry it; that way it retains its softness and shine! I find my hair really healthy and it grows really fast too! So I love having it long during winter and short during summer! Everyone should learn to love their own hair because you can't change what kind of hair you have! you just have to find what hairstyle looks best on you and how to take good care of it! :) i am 100% chinese and have learned to love my hair. actually i never really had problems with my hair but growing up around caucasians makes you want blonde and beautiful hair, right? but really… there are so many different types of asian hair. my hair is very soft and shiny, and I have layers so that gives it more volume. my hair is not thin, but it’s not thick either…I guess it’s medium thickness.
