Asian hair is different from Caucasian hair in that it is absorbs and retains moisture more quickly. Besides it's heavier and doesn't move as easily. Use products that are more suited for Asian hair textures. Use natural oil-based products to keep the moisture in. Sheet masks for the hair are a new rage.

Thick hair tends to absorb dyes and color rather quickly but is resistant to bleaching. Perms and hair colors may need to be customized so as to avoid frizzy or burnt hair. When planning an Asian hairstyle, work on the thinning out the middle since there is usually plenty of volume, even with straight hair.
