The Hair Thread - Part 4

[deaththeorist]

Just some insight as to how hair naturally behaves.

I recently gave up on styling a part into my hair, rather with my current hair, a natural 2:8 ratio forms on the left side, so I now just work product into my hair and toss everything back with my fingers.

This is how my hair looks like this morning (By vilian Blow + Dynamite Clay):

As you can see, there is already a part forming on the left side of my head.

After 30 mins or so, the volume drops and the part becomes more obvious as the hair strands fall down. It's not ideal, since I like my hair to be "poofier" but I live with it. Why? My hair is obvious not long enough, the longest strands only reach the top third of my nose.

So i will just be patient and live with less than ideal hair for the time being.

As to the guy asking for advice, I assume slick back undercut means something like:

You mentioned your hair naturally want to center part. Well, you certainly can manipulate the parameters by blow drying and using product, but judging from what i seen, hair barely past your eyes is no where near enough to do a proper slick back.

Look at the above, his hair is definitely longer than what you have described so far.

My recommendation is to join me in growing those strands out

ho ho thats some andrew does hair advice right there!

How my natural part forms (approximately half a day from the time I styled)

As you can see, my hair is flatter, and the part is now more obvious. I bent my head down a bit to show its just a natural part where my hair is just being itself.

Not much volume! Oh welll blame the humidity :/

Also, some more hair spo. Aiming for either of the 2 by September:

Been seeing too many short/faded sides as well as styles that are too formal, with a very obvious part. So I'm going to traverse the another side and shoot for a messier, longer look with grown out sides.

For shorter fringe, slick back . . . . 7cm abit short, at least 10-12cm easier.

Another video with the slick back undercut.

The length is definitely longer than just touching the eyes.

Anyways, I'm not a fan of using measurements because everyone has different face shape and hair texture. But rule of thumb is, just grow it out to the tip of the nose.

Good for u that u have similar hair texture as the caucasians with sides that are very 貼 and not stick out. Those styles u showed are nice but wont suit majority of us.

the only reason why its not sticking is cos its longer. u see the video he jus posted with the angmoh with short sides. all sticking out like a boss

Haha my hair is actually very Chinese!

Just be patient in growing your hair out (wear a hat if you must) and condition almost everyday. It really helps for me.

Also, Pote Kanebo shampoo from theprettyjerk really helps with keeping the hair soft.

Thanks for everyone's advice! I have decided to go with dj_flame's recommendation of growing out my hair for the time being.

Btw, any good haircut places for a $30~ budget? Hair on the sides and back have been growing out (they grow a lot faster than my fringe) and it looks terrible.
