Hmm, I know. To get straight hair, get it straightened. To get really straight hair, go get it done at the salon
where its permanent.

But I noticed a lot of "asians" in my school have perfectly straight hair,
and its noticeably thin at the bottom, and there seems to be no
layers on their hair that is making it look thin.
How do you get it done like that?
I know to get it straight they use excellent straighteners
but how do you get thin straight clean look?

yah, im asian, but i seems that that trait was not passed down to me =[ rats!

Why is asians in quotes? 0_o && How can you get it to be thin at the bottom.. unless you get layers? Well, I got my hair straightened and your hair just thins out a bit because it gets flat-er after its straight. There's also this special scissor that people use to layer hair that kinda cuts away part of the hair to make it thinner... idk how to explain but maybe thats what happened? Just ask your hair salon people.

layers & those professional hair cutting scissors that thin your hair out o^^o

o__o
i dunno....i have thin hair (both the texture and the amount of hair) which doesn't seem asian
...because my parents have coarse, thick hair x__x

it's kind of a disaster because my hair has absolutely no volume, and my ponytail is like the size of a thick marker.


why is asians in quotation marks? o_O

they have their hair thinned out. i dont like that look because most of the time you see the ends look really dry.

It is like that naturally.

People are born with different hair types/texture/etc.

the hair is feathered at the ends. this thins it out. lots of people who have thick hair or hair with lots of body get this done when getting a cut or trim so the ends aren't overly thick.

go to a salon and ask them to feather or thin your ends a bit. but if you tend to have dry ends or aren't too well at remembering to get a trim on a regular basis, dont do it because it WILL look damaged and brittle. it does more harm than anything in the long run.

[x`aNNiie.]

the thinning scissors make straight hair look really thin
but also gives u split ends

[LunaDiviner]

There are layers. They're just longer and more subtle. Guess the hairdresser did a good job huh? My layers a pretty unnoticeble at the bottom.

[chungmah.]

I'm asian and I have thick hair. I have to brush it a billion times to get it straight. But I heard that getting your hair permanently straight is bad for you hair?

[hahaxlooooser]

have you guys ever used serum? i use this john frieda one. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!. i have really wavy hair so i put a drop of serum before straightening, straighten, then add another drop and smooth it through my hair. my hair becomes reaalllly sleek and shiny. use guys should try it<3

[Jnn]

^ oohh! thanks for that...i read about it somewhere else on soompi too but i totally forgot about it!

and i agree with princess88, i have thin hair, and it doesnt look layered because i grew the layers out. but i have split ends =[

[addickshun]

hair serum or leave-in conditioner is the magic =D

[seaweed333]

first u hafta get ur hair cut in that style
get hair treatments at the salon
seriouslyy it makes ur hair look really smooth & shinny & straight
buy shiseido tsubaki or ascience hair ranges
theyre made especially for asian hair
haha the slogan for ascience is 'the world envy asians' or something like that
& shiseido tsubaki is the most pop hair range in japan
an easier alternative would be to use a conditioner/leave in conditioner/hair mask/deep conditioner or some sort of treatment regularly coz straightening ur hair is damaging in the long term

[viffaye]

i think they do have layers, since its only thin @ the bottom OO "
when i straighten my hair you cant really see my layers

[melancholy]

hmm my parents both have thick hair, but yeah me and my sister have thin hair.. me and my sister have naturally straight hair.. yeah sometimes my friends will just sit there and stroke my hair, i get so spooked out when they do that haha all i do is shampoo and condition o_o i'm surprised my hair is still looking alive after i got it bleached and dyed so many times

[blessed]

yearr i reckon they have thinned hair xD

but magic straighten with thinned hair is MAGIC! =) seriously, my friend got hers done in korea & ZZOMG now its all glossy & shiny & straight, but not too straight. it looks natural. but straight.

but yeaaaa use lots of hair products to get it all shiny & purrdyy & thin your hair if you dont want to magic straighten but the same effect.

[Gullwings]

hahha I did the opposite <X I had really thin, straight hair... but my hairdresser layered it a lot ^^'' ....

[justaddclouds]

i agree with the thinning scissors (:
my hair stylist did that for my hair
and its been a lot thinner than it used to be
my hair is thick and wavy =__=; but just keep your hair hydrated to keep it under control
and straightening it is your best bet
dont forget heat protectants though!
