Here’s 8 different types of long hairstyles you can go for to get ready for spring this year. They look natural, refreshing and very romantic.

The Girl-Next-Door Look: Long chestnut brown colored hair with slight waves at the ends of hair. Go for bangs for a more youthful and refreshed look. You can achieve this look without perming your hair, simply use a heated curler to curl the ends of your hair and you will get this look.

The Feminine Look: This look is pretty similar to the one above, but the length of this style is shorter (shoulder length hair). You can go for this first and when your hair grows longer, you can still get the look above.

The Diva Look: You can also use your heated hair curler to make larger curls at the bottom section of your hair to create lush curls like these.

The Tousled Look: This is a look that can be achieved with a Japanese perm to create a slight wavy look. Hair color is dark brown and bangs are sweep to the side.

The Cute Look: This is a ceramic digital hair perm that is able to create stronger and larger curls. Digital perm lasts longer and brings out stronger curls, but take note that it can also be quite damaging to hair.

The Princess Look: Get a Japanese perm to create the slight waves throughout the hair and then go for light ash brown color.

The Sweet Look: This light brown colored hair is long (below shoulders) and fringe is kept long as well with side parting. Hair ends are curled in to create the slightly wavy look.

The Chic Look: Hair color is blonde, with light natural waves throughout hair and with bangs to go with it.

How To Straighten Your Hair | Asian Hair

The popularity of hair straightening has caused an increase in the sales of asian hair straightening products. So what are the methods we can take to achieve straight hair? What are the hair straightening products available in the market and how much do they cost? What will make our hair turn into beautiful, shiny and shimmering straight hair?

There are three factors to consider when determining what asian hair straightening method will be suitable for your hair. First of all, is the condition of your hair. Wavy hair will be easier and less expensive to straighten than curly hair.  The next thing to consider is how long you want the hair straightening effect to last. Some hair straightening treatment last for more than 6 months and some less than 3 months. The final factor to consider is maintenance of your hair. Some hair straightening treatment require maintenance like blow drying straight  every day, while others require little to no work.

The most expensive and also most lasting method is to go for hair straightening at a hair salon. Hair stylists use professional hair straightening chemicals that can almost permanently straighten your hair that can normally last for 6 months or more. Rather than using a do-it-yourself kit, it pays to find professional help to do it. They can evaluate how strong the hair straightening chemical need to be used based on your asian hair condition and yet will not damage your hair. This method usually requires minimal maintenance, but it be difficult to experiment with different hair styles. Another thing to take note is that the better the condition of your hair or the healthier your hair is, the better the hair straightening chemicals can be absorbed into your hair and thus make the hair straightening effect last longer.

The most popular tool to achieve straight asian hair is using a hair straightening iron. There are many straightening flat hair irons of different prices and types. It is recommended to use a ceramic flat hair iron as they have better temperature control and is smoother to use than a metal iron. The downfall of using a flat hair iron is that the hair straightening effect is temporary and only last until the next washing of your hair. Be sure to avoid chemical treatments on your hair when using a flat hair iron to avoid hair damage and get regular trims to eliminate split ends.
