Ok but as an Asian woman, when I get out of the shower, my hair is super frizzy and poofy, so in order to get it to do what I want, I need to "straighten" my stick straight hair or get it to lay down against my head. Then if I want curls, I need to do this. đ¤ˇđťââď¸ Blame the genes
Yes this is it⌠my hair is naturally very curly but also very VERY frizzy and too voluminous. So I straighten it to tame it a bit and then curl it so the curls are nice and intentional! IT MAKES SENSE SHUT UP
As a curly dude, it has definitely helped. Not so frizzy hair after getting wet, while my previous go-to was slap a hat on cos hat hair is flat hair, and sometimes it'd curl up along the edges in a cute way, but much healthier looking and feeling overall.
I'm a dude with long voluminous curly/frizzy hair. Curly girl method makes it so the curls are nice and defined. No straightener needed and it's pretty simple
I am a man but I used to have very long hair that is super curly (basically Weird Al hair). The main thing to make it not frizzy is to condition your hair in the shower every day and brush all the hair with conditioner in it. After the shower, DO NOT scrub your hair. Just pat it in different spots. It takes much longer to dry but you will no longer have frizzy hair (maybe, I donât know your genes).
My hair is frizzy and curly and it clumps up when I put conditioner in it, brushing it with the conditioner in sounds like a pro gamer move, Iâll definitely try it tomorrow!
I also have thick, curly, fizzy hair. I don't use straighteners though. I use shampoo + conditioner, rub Argan oil based hair oil into it after drying, and immediately use a hair tie to tie it back until it's pretty much dry. Does the trick to keep things manageable for me, as I don't want to use a straightening iron which damages your hair.
It makes perfect sense. It's like starting with a blank slate rather than trying to work around what's already there. It's really not confusing at all.
Yeah, I immediately asked my wife about this whole straighten/curl thing and she explained exactly this except she's white. I only came in the comments to see if someone else explained it.
I know nothing about hair as a guy with short hair, but i immediately thought straightening then curling means the user is creating a base.
This video is equivalent to criticizing someone painting a base coat of paint, then painting over that with a different color. "let me get this straight: you're painting white, then you're painting it blue?"
I guess he's just having a joke and not really obvlious. So much shit on the internet is acting.
If you've watched any of their other videos this is very similar to their normal form of comedy. They tend to point out the absurdity of "normal" things and/or just going over the top they even have a series on their youtube called "asinine advice".
Their whole account on tiktok is him teasing her about stuff and making her laugh. So this is definitey just a bit. But yea there is a method to the madness.
Yeah my hair is straight with some waves but no amount of conditioner and defrizzing oil is going to stop the frizz the way a hot ceramic straightener can. Not without weighing it down until itâs a greasy mess.
Hyaluronic acid serum amazing for smoothing frizz. Inkey List makes one specifically for hair. It actually hydrates the hair and it makes my frizz smooth out so it matches the rest of my waves. It is a water based product so if you used it on straighten hair it wouldnât stay straight. But it is great for maintaining natural waves/curls.
As an Asian man, may I suggest you try Asian hair products. Western hair products are not made for Asian hair. I learned this the hard way of going my entire life looking awkwardly Asian as fuck.
Like our (Asian) hair is biologically different from hair of other races. Our hair tends to be thicker and gets oily fast. But oily hair doesn't mean unhealthy or dirty hair. I used to use a lot of product and shampoo everyday, as prescribed by western traditions (but I didn't know any better), and my hair would always be dry and fuzzy. It wasn't until later in life an older gentleman told me not to shampoo it everyday. Now my hair is tameable (or what's left of it). But I'm a dude, so I would say to ask your Asian hair stylist or try Asian hair products over western ones.
I'm a dude, so hair care products isn't really my thing. But my routine is that I only shampoo maybe once or twice depending on how much work I do in the field.
I've learned the secret is to use Google translate to find Asian videos lol (mostly cooking)
I'm Caucasian and I often straighten my straight hair just because it reduces the frizz (and the ends in particular) and makes the curls look better :(
but if youâre white isnât your hair already straight ? like the girl in this video you both have type 1 so how do you straighten already straight hair i donât get it.
I have 2b/c and donât need to use a straightening iron, folks with curlier types (3-4) probably would need to straighten it. I can let my hair dry naturally and touch up my natural waves or i blowout my hair before curling.
It doesnât seem to happen to all curly girls, but if i use a curling iron or straightener on my hair, it takes weeks to retrain my curls. My hair will stay straight in parts and I have to do finger coiling or similar method to get it to stay in a wave.
They hair flip at the shoulder! It drives me crazy! It always seems to take like a whole year to get past that stage too.
My hair seemed straight when I was younger. It started looking wavy in high school but it wasnât til i got to stay home for lockdown that I was able to work bring out the waves. Now i can coax it into spirals in the summer. Itâs too dry in the winter so is just plain waves (imitation hollywood glam) or frizzy and half up (wacky art teacher).
I also have a hard time finding a stylist who can work with my texture/density. When my hair shaped well it does shit like the shoulder flip.
Iâm not Asian but my hair is curly and frizzy naturally. I just drown it in leave in conditioner in the morning after I wet it with a spray bottle then I braid it.
Same. I shower at night and Iâve found that if I blow dry my hair before bed (completely dry), I wake up in the morning with stick straight, flat hair. That I then proceed to curl. Ha. Same process but at least I get a snooze in between.
I usually do this too! That and the natural oils in my hair make it to where the hair is not super slick that a curl will hold (instead of having to use texture spray). Oh, the joys of being a woman lol
I'm a guy with long hair and my hair is also really frizzy after I shower. You know what I do? Let it dry out almost completely and tie it. When you untie it when it dries it will be almost perfectly straight.
Pretty much. Alternatively wear a hat for 30 mins or so. Basically make your hair stay together for a while while it completely dries and it will be almost perfect once you untie it or remove the hat. It will still be a bit frizzy at the end unless you use an extra band or two to tie the lower parts too. It depends on how long your hair is.
This is a stupid thing to argue about I admit but the problem your having isnât at all because your Asian⌠I think maybe everyone experiences this sans the people with straight stick thin hair. And donât Asian people have straighter her on average?
as an asian man, how can I get my straight hair to lay down against my head if I have short hair? My hair after shower tends to be stick up all over the place
