Shoulder-Length Asian Haircuts

China Chow has hair to die for. It is so magnificently thick. It could hardly be healthier with that all that ultra lustrous sheen everywhere. The length is ideal just past her shoulders. The spiked layers give it a modern edge. If you were to have any doubts about it, or adjust it in any way, adding more layers could be a slight improvement. It depends on your personal taste, but it's not far from being too chunky.

How do you like wearing a hot medium blowout that doesn't take a great deal of effort every day? Like Miss Chow above, the woman on the right has thick locks, but a far side parting and more rugged texture near the tips. Layered bangs could make it more fun and cool. The clumped volume starts to make it resemble a helmet. The skill level required is minimial, and a fair rating is 3.5 stars.

Bai Ling is a petite Chinese woman whose life and style tends toward extremes. She has done some crazy things and worn wild hairdos and colors, such as fiery red or neon pink. One consistency, during all the changes, however, is her straight bangs. This 'do is extreme in the contrast between the flat geometric shape and other two thirds which is has voluminous curls. Nevertheless, medium length is a good decision for her.

Asian hairstyling rarely gets much attention in Western advertising, but in one ethnocentric commercial the entire cast is Asian. This VO5 ad will be liberating to some -- the theme is freedom -- but it could offend others. It is certainly unique and worth a look. The actress gets a makeover which turns her simple bob into a cool haircut that is slightly tousled and almost looks shattered.
