The Hair Thread - Part 3

[nelson7lim]

today hair abit dry. lol. always tend to slight over dry my hair which is no good. very crispy looking. somehow replicating the quiff style. btw the brush which i got is awesome!

my highest quiff a month back. damn lol

Does your hair drop after a few hours? My fringe will drop like 3 to 4 hours later. Is it cus I apply too little gold digger? Or too much?

Since wax is not fixated, it will drop but the style stays. Just push it back up lo. Haha. Mine will drop too! Unless you spray and fixate it.

 

[whatme]

Use headcode super hard spray!

I like it hard!

That's what's she said!!

Your highest quiff looks damn nice.

Can is can but you would have to search for a really good barber. Most barbers I've tried are usually the older ones so it might not be as good although the current trend is old school now.

Most impt above all is hair type IMO. Barber and product is secondary. Even v good barber n v good product also may not look good compared to correct hair type w cheapo barber n product. So more impt is choose hairstyle that suit ur hair type to make life easier.

They are call natural shine. It's their hair color. None of them are using pomade here. Pomade is supposed to give a very sleek with less than or no volume like you see in the pictures. Lol. Probably using some wax or paste. But for us to have this, we definitely need volumizers such as sea salt spray..

Can the normal gatsby wax do the job? Lol

Maybe you can provide us a most recent photo of your head which most of us who need some advice would normally do this way.

So we can give you better advice. If not, say until "got mountain got sea" also no use ah...

All I can say is can but good luck washing your hair and your hair itself lol. This is a reason why there's a difference between professional and off the rack mediocre products. Lolol

i didn't know there's such difference in washing "off the rack mediocre" wax product off compared to a professional wax

 

[low_key_goer]

i see some pomades they rate them as low shine etc. im curious what kind of pomade do ppl like beckham and these other models wear

their hairs are not super shiny, but rather more towards a natural lofty kind of texture

IMO, Caucasian hair have some slight curl. They can achieve the texture seen in the pictures (specifically the first & last) with minimal effort.

Can't say the same for Asian (Chinese) hair. Too straight. May/may not be able to achieve the same texture even with flat iron, volumizer etc...

Just by comparing your pictures against the other pictures posted here (Asian), you will see the difference in end product.

Just saying....

Some wax easy to wash off while some, even after washing 2 times, still there.

Possible to buy the kind of wax removing soap, use it before washing your hair with shampoo?

your picture is wearing a hair band ah?
can't see la bro.

your hair shld be the typical asian hair we all have here.
so technically. the usuall stuff you need.
SSS and a good wax.
the most important is the skill of blow drying and styling your hair.

why do you want to buy cheap wax and buy some special shampoo to wash it off?
don't be so cheap leh. lol

just buy a good wax and a good shampoo. usually can last.

give you cheap combo (at most $30)
Vantachi Hair clay (don't worry, works like wax and washes off easily)
Head and shoulders or any off the rack shampoo for men.

luxury combo (almost $60 but got change but this is the real deal, trust me, user and swear by it)
Gold digger
Kanebo Shampoo

i practically sum it up for you. if you still want to use cheap wax or what, by all means.

 

[gaoxing84]

if i can do it, you shld be able to. it boils down to skill. but of course, don't expect to replicate the exact same. won't never happen.

If so, wouldn't you be spending more money? I don't know what is "wax removing soap". Please enlighten me.

My hair got natural slight curl leh. Not straight kind. Means I behkan cannot achieve the texture.

I think he referring to scalers, whereby you apply this lotion thingy on your scalp before the main event
