ive only recently, within the last few years, began to understand that same thing. i had straight hair until puberty, and then my hair was frizzy, tangly, it was a mess. my mom used to get angry with me and tell me if i wouldnt take care of my hair she'd cut it off (she did once, it obviously didn't help). only now in my mid-late 20s am i realizing that hormones played a huge role in the shift of my hair. i'm a mother now and my hair seems to change more as time goes on. i'm still trying to figure out what works for me, maybe i'll get there some day.

I'm a mixed asian person with wavy/curly hair naturally and I've always been told it's so unattractive but I love it. I embrace my hair fully and try my hardest to care for it. It's been hard since my hair grew to a really long length though

You have inspired me to also take care of my hair and before i used to be insecure because I did not have the straight smooth silky hair and I would always be jealous of other people and yes you are correct my parents never taught me how to care for this type of hair so i decided to do my research on yt, but seeing your wavy routines have boosted my confidence to EMBRACE my natural waves. Thank you once again

im actually really glad i saw your channel because your hair texture is so close to mine and i have pretty much never seen that in another asian woman. I didnt realize just how curly my hair actually was until about a year ago and im 30. I just thought it was poofy because i had no idea how to maintain it and went to stylists who were also im guessing under the impression that asians only have straight hair. They would comment that my hair was damaged even though it wasnt bleached and i rarely used heat on it. i kinda had to teach myself this stuff and your tips are helping and inspiring me even more. anyways, thank you!

Saw your video on YT shorts. I also have had many years of chemically relaxed hair. Covid lockdown in 2020-2021 has prevented me from having it relaxed and I am now trying to grow out natural wavy hair. Hope your routine also works with my wavy, coarse Asian hair.

Okay, so I bought all 3 products you recommended in this video and I can't thank you enough. I know my hair isn't going to look amazing for a long time but after following your advice I'm already loving it and I used to hate my hair and felt ugly.

From what I've been reading in this thread, it sounds like you have type 2 hair like I do, and the frizz struggle is real! I think it's hard for Asian type 2s because of the stereotype of Asians having type 1 straight hair and like you said, nobody really understands how to care for wavy hair. I often have to use gel, mousse, serum or light to moderate amounts of grease to seal my type 2c hair to control the frizz and avoid the dreaded "triangle head" or the poofiness that can make it look like I got in a fight with a light socket and lost.

I'm an Asian with natural curly hair. I've been doing hair rebond since high school and it turned into such a mess. It became dry, frizzy and super damaged that I had to shave it all off. I started my hair-healing journey 4 years ago. I'm now enjoying and loving my natural curls.

Her hair texture changes by day, depending on weather how beautiful her curls or waves will be. She used to get asked a lot at school if she curls her hair, because some days it just doesn't look like that. It became frustrating because her friends at school thinks she was lying.

Omg, I totally relate to this, growing up my mom kept telling me my hair was straight because everyone else in the family had straight hair but it just kept frizzing, curling in the end and sides to the point my mom made me get a rebound.

Hi.. have you chopped off your straight perm hair completely. I am in the transitional phase. Love your vedios, I find some hope during this phase while watching yours.

i’m half asian and i have waves but yes i agree people don’t know that asians can have curls and waves

I’m south Asian and as you know there’s a stereotype that south Asians need straight silky hair to look pretty. It isn’t as much of a stereotype as it is in East Asian countries since MANY south Asians have wavish straightish hair but mine is CURLY with ringlets which really makes me insecure since my mom always tells me how messy it looks. She even said once that I should get it permed…😭 but I’m starting to actually take care of my hair and getting proper haircuts so seeing someone with course and frizzy hair being able to make their hair pop off is so reassuring! You’re so beautiful btw ❤

A year ago I relaxed my hair and 3 months ago I chemically straightened it. I recently got a haircut and now my hair is right above my shoulders. I plan on keeping it at this length for a few months and slowly cutting the chemically straightened hair out. Moral of the story, embrace the hair type that you were born with. You were born with those features for a reason and it will always be what looks best on you! (Just to add on, If you're thinking of getting your hair japanese straightened, don't do it. I had to use my revlon blowdry brush everytime I washed my hair because it was the only way it would look good and not fried and poofy. Now I have eight thousand split ends.)

Yeah i get that to its soo annoying. I'm half asian and both my parents have straight hair. My non-asian dad has slight waves bt I do have actual curls and most people seem think I curl it. I don't even have a hair curler at home!😭😭

I have naturally straight Asian hair but I'm so bored of it, I got a perm lol. I think people definitely want what they don't have. I really thought all Asians had straight hair so i think you're blessed to have such beautiful curly hair. The funny thing is, people probably think my perm is my natural hair and that I probably used to straighten it everyday

That’s normal for it to loosen up. And depending on your wave pattern - if it’s really loose , you’ll see it eventually fade away.
