It’s always a matter of wanting what you can’t have. Caucasian and African men covet the lustrous, fine, arrow-straight locks that Asian dudes rock while the latter is true for the opposite.

The gweilos, however, don’t know the half of it.

Asian men’s hair can be extremely stubborn and needs to be appropriately dealt with. Didn’t mean to make that sound so 50 Shades but the point is that specialist products are now available to help Asian men get the hair they want.

Purpose built shampoos add fullness, conditioners hydrate, masques control the oiliness that can afflict Asian scalps due to higher sebum production and of course, styling products finish the look on follicles with specific characteristics.

With the last of these, veer towards the pomade side of things as you’ll most likely need a firm hold to keep a look intact all day long.

Just remember that the higher the hold, the more you need to remove it by proper washing and conditioning. This will avoid the product build up which can cause dandruff.
