I get embarassed if I show a picture of a model for my haircut... especially since there's this really hot girl working there too. I printed like 4 different pictures and went to the asian stylist, but when I saw her, I just couldn't show it lol. I just printed it for nothing.
wellz u shouldn't be embarrassed, lots of ppl do it
for asian hairstyles... u gotta have LONG hair, and i'll tell u, it's annoying. everyday things, eating, sleeping, showering, hairstyling, whatever is all much longer and complicated with asian hairstyle
but if u really wants, grow out long hair.... not like a month or 2, but for like 6 months cuz ur hair grows about an inch a month at best and if u look at pics, like relaly look at them, the hair in the back is like at least 4 inches or so, and sideburns are just hella long. u cna get haircuts in between but then it'll take u just that much longer (which i suggest cuz u'll look emo and not asian). then the cut, just go to someone who knows what they're doing, get a picture or whatever u want it to look like and ask for a lot of thinning cuz long hair doesn't want to stand up
for wax... there a bunch but i suggest gatsby which u can ebay, find a relative that lives in japan, or go to little tokoyo in downtown whereever and go to a japanese super market, yes u heard me right. the one in la is called marukai's or something like that
for ppl that don't wanna wax... i wanted that too but it's a cold hard truth that styled hair looks better than unstyled. i.e. if u spike ur hair, go for a day without spiking it and that's basically the difference... huge. just slap on some hair products after ur morning shower or something. wake up 30 minutes earlier.
for applying hair stuffs.... just do it. what else is there? u can have as many tips and tricks as you want but unless u actually try it and see what works for YOUR hair u'll never get it down. plus don't be discouraged, i tried a couple times and always messed it up, but i just took a mental note of what i could do to improve next time. don't forget hairspray cuz that helps a lot
for ppl who cut their own hair... fine, it's all good. i know a friend who's got fobby hair and cuts his own hair, does sometimes like roll it up in one finger and slightly goes through it with box cutters instead of using thinning scissors but it turns out awesome
