This lady comes with some recommendations (she does a consultation day before she actually cuts your hair - haha), but we'll have to see - most of my Asian friends get their hair cut in another city (about 2 hrs away) where they have a larger Asian population. I'm not about to drive 2 hrs for a haircut!</p> <p>I have tried oils in my hair - I like Argan oil for my hair; and I use shampoo with it in it. Bonus: boy thinks it smells nice. Tee hee.</p> <p>@ IK - it's okay, I'm asian, I'm forever stuck at Tanner 2 or 3 (developmental stage of like a 13 year old). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help---tame-the-bush#post-1130445 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 17:24:39 +0000 ironkurtin 1130445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hate to say what I thought you needed taming when I read your title post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help---tame-the-bush#post-1130415 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 16:43:41 +0000 Tania 1130415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not a pro, but I've been playing with some&nbsp;natural management&nbsp;ideas for my wavy-to-frizzy hair.&nbsp; The last time I cut my hair, the stylist commented on the shininess and health of my hair.&nbsp; I tend towards wavy, dry hair but started to use a boar bristle brush before bedtime&nbsp;to spread the natural oils throughout the shaft.&nbsp; The one I bought is a Denman boar brush with nylon bristles.&nbsp; The Mason Pearson is supposedly wonderful, but very expensive.&nbsp; The Denman is a great sub.&nbsp; </p> <p>In the morning, I rinse my hair, condition (olive oil drops, in my case),&nbsp;detangle with a rake comb, pat dry with a microfiber towel.&nbsp; </p> <p>A while ago, I dropped shampooing to once a week and recently added an apple cider vinegar&nbsp;rinse after shampooing to rebalance the pH.&nbsp; The ACV conditions my hair very well, adding lots of shine, manageability, and makes the hair easy to detangle.&nbsp;</p> <p>My husband started to use a boar bristle brush at night as well and his hair is easier to manage and is shinier.&nbsp; He has short, straight hair prone to oiliness vs. my longer, wavier, prone-to-dryness hair.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help---tame-the-bush#post-1130396 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 16:05:22 +0000 Catnip 1130396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I strongly agree with Anna and others.&nbsp; A good hairdresser can make all the difference.&nbsp; It seems to me that you have good hair but need just a bit more style.&nbsp; The right hairdresser can give you a cut that works with your hair texture and your facial and overall body shape, and can also recommend the products that are just right for you.</p> <p>Sometimes you have to try several different hairdressers to find the right one.&nbsp; <br />Good luck with the search.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help---tame-the-bush#post-1130386 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 15:53:31 +0000 Thistle 1130386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna makes a lot of sense. You need to find a great stylist who understands and will work with your needs.</p> <p>A lot of hairstyles are lovely, but they require&nbsp;a lot more work than many of us have time for.</p> <p>I know my stylist and I have been working together for years, and she gets "I have 5 minutes in the morning, and oh, I am allergic to 99% of the products on the market".&nbsp; She works with this, and she always makes sure to leave it long enough for ponytail days - you know, those days at work so stressful that hair simply cannot get in your way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help---tame-the-bush#post-1130361 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 15:15:13 +0000 Angie 1130361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna makes sense. You need &nbsp;a great cut, and the right product.&nbsp;</p> <p>Loved seeing your hair down. So pretty.&nbsp;xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help---tame-the-bush#post-1130298 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 13:58:52 +0000 Emily 1130298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi *lyn - by all means try a new tool, but I think a trim is worth exploring. &nbsp;A good stylist can give you some shape without losing too much length (not silly!), and provide some advice about styling/products. &nbsp;I found my stylist by asking a coworker with similarly textured&nbsp;hair where she got hers done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help---tame-the-bush#post-1130265 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 13:27:04 +0000 Glory 1130265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not crazy at all. Also it is probably very practical to have long hair for your work isn't it? That way you can easily tie it back.<br />Perhaps some side swept bangs? Some small layers?&nbsp;<br />Also the Oil can really help with taming the hair and adding a bit of shine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help---tame-the-bush#post-1130254 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 13:14:16 +0000 Janet 1130254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Uh, as the owner of Yeti hair, I do not see the big poufy mess you speak of. But I do agree with Anna. Everyone has hair challenges of some kind, and a hairstylist who gets your hair type is really the best resource to get what you want. </p> <p>I do prefer your hair down, like I know Angie always nudges you to do. I can see a great cut pushing your look into a more sophisticated direction. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help---tame-the-bush#post-1130200 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 11:00:42 +0000 Anonymous 1130200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was just about to say the very same thing as Lucy. The last time I went to the hairdressers for some lowlights I asked about shampoos and conditioners and she said they had an offer on for both a shampoo and conditioner with Moroccan Oil , so I bought them.&nbsp;Neither products have sulphates or parabens and they really protect hair and colour. I have had absolutely no static since using them and my hair shines beautifully. I can highly recommend it. Moroccan oil is pricey but I think worth it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help---tame-the-bush#post-1130197 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 09:40:04 +0000 Lucy 1130197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found Morrocan oil cut down a lot of the poofy frizz in my hair. It is not cheap, but it also makes for a faster blow dry, and my hair is keeping good condition for longer.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help---tame-the-bush#post-1130176 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 08:20:18 +0000 ramya 1130176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No it's not nuts.Lyn why not layer your hair and cut some bangs.<br />Asian hair looks real good with such a look is what I see.<br />So many of my Indian friends with straightish hair(read not curly) do that. </p> <p></p> <p>Ok she is an actress but I meant a version of this: <a href="http://www.filmitadka.in/images/joomgallery/originals/actresses_2/priyanka_chopra_229/priyanka_chopra_20120522_1872278021.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.filmitadka.in/image.....anka_chopr</a></p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help---tame-the-bush#post-1130168 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 08:00:08 +0000 Jeanie 1130168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it sounds sweet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help---tame-the-bush#post-1130160 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 07:01:00 +0000 lyn* 1130160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it kind of nuts to not want to cut my hair in case I get married in the next two years? Most bridal hair styles look really pretty with long hair; and I don't want to limit myself because I decided to chop chop it now?</p> <p>That sounds kinda nuts when I say it to myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help---tame-the-bush#post-1130159 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 06:57:45 +0000 jamieyh 1130159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about the following hair style. I guess you will look pretty with this kind of hair style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help---tame-the-bush#post-1130153 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 06:43:39 +0000 lyn* 1130153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've decided to buy a hair tool - one of those sucking curlers. We'll see if I end up with a bald spot or curls. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help---tame-the-bush#post-1130083 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 04:40:54 +0000 goldenpig 1130083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, how about some bangs? I'm super low maintenance with my hair too, and people seem to like my bangs!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help---tame-the-bush#post-1130070 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 04:25:42 +0000 annagybe 1130070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you need to find a good hairdresser. I am super low maintenance when it comes to my hair. I put a little product in and do a half-baked sorta blow dry. Having a good haircut makes a legion of difference.<br />My Asian friends do better when they find a stylist that understands Asian hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help---tame-the-bush#post-1130067 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 04:20:53 +0000 Jeanie 1130067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure if this is your thing but how about some long side-swept bangs and just a little shorter length. &nbsp;You could still pull it back in a head band or pony tail.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help---tame-the-bush#post-1130056 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 03:54:54 +0000 Jewell 1130056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My hair is about the same length as yours, and lately I've been all about the head band as a way to keep it back and out of the way. Sometimes I'll wear it loose, like yours in the picture with a head band in a color that coordinates with my outfit. And most other times, I clip it up with one of those claw thingies and I still add the headband. At first I thought it would be impossible to wear head bands without looking like a wanna be teeny bopper, but I found some nice grown up looking ones at Target I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help---tame-the-bush#post-1130053 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 03:50:38 +0000 carter 1130053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, given that I have my own unsolvable hair issues, I'm probably not the right person to answer this. But I'll give it a shot anyway. In pic #1, do you see the strand of hair between the phone and your cheekbone? It poofs out a bit and then curves back toward your chin. I think it frames your face very well. It may take more work than you'd like, but I think a just-under-chin length cut styled to curves under would be great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help---tame-the-bush#post-1129996 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 02:36:08 +0000 lyn* 1129996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry about the blurry pics, but I am really struggling with what to do with my hair. </p> <p>I have tried Pinterest but their "simple things" have a million power tools and products - I am really the get up and run kind of a person. </p> <p>I am not adverse to getting it cut, either.</p> <p>I think it is a huge poofy mess when I just brush it out; and not a good match for my usual style. </p> <p>I think I am going to invest in a few hair things, and would love your suggestion and guidance. </p>
