What the hair trends of Asian hairstyles?Kawaii hairstyles which have recently become quite popular, originate from Japan. The word kawaii is Japanese for cute and refers to a culture that sprang up around the 1970′s that focused on cuteness in a variety of aspects of life including clothing, entertainment, and personal appearance. Kawaii hairstyles vary widely with some characterized by a very soft, flowing look featuring large waves or curls at the end of the hair, while others feature short chunky pieces cut in an asymmetrical style that require lots of styling gel to hold everything in place.If a Kawaii hairstyle is something that you find attractive it is a good idea to go to a salon that specializes in this look since the initial cut is very important to maintaining this hairstyle. Having said that, in certain areas a Kawaii specialty salon may be hard to find, so your next best option is to go online and find one of the hundreds of pictures of Kawaii hairstyles online and take it to your local hair salon. Make sure to choose a cut that goes with your face shape as Kawaii hairstyles are definitely not for everyone and most cuts require a great deal of maintenance in order to look nice. Another thing to keep in mind about Kawaii hairstyles, they usually look nicer if you hair is thin to medium thickness. Hair that is very thick is harder to maintain in this type of hairstyle.
