[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you also tell me what kind of hair dye they use? A coworker came in with Golden blonde hair when it was black the day before! I asked how on earth they did it and [b]she said Asian salons use special dyes that white people can't use[/b] (???)[/quote]

You know, I think this might be true.

I am living in an Asian city for work.  I have naturally dark blonde hair that has always been my best feature.  It's really thick and shiny.  My grandma used to affectionately say I had inherited her "horse hair."

The first time I had my hair cut here, I just went to what looked like a nice salon in an upscale mall.  The man who cut my hair said my hair is "very fine and thin", and noted that he was going to do the long layers I wanted "the way we do it with Caucasians, because if I do layers the way I do with Asian women, it will look like you have no hair."  I was mortified.  As I said, my hair is super thick for a white person: EVERY hair stylist I've visited in my life has remarked about how thick my hair is!

I've talked to other expat women here, and it is a common theme.  Our hair really is very fine and thin and fluffy compared to Asian hair.

But stylists really do know how to cut our hair: every hair trim I've had done here has been excellent.

I will say that I can see that they have a very different approach.  Even though I always end up with the long layers I want, the way the stylists here arrive at that point doesn't look like what it does when a Western stylist cuts my hair.

I just started getting highlights again, and I opted to go to a salon that has expat stylists who are used to working with Caucasian hair motly because each time I asked an Asian stylist here about highlights, they insisted that bleach was the only way.  They could not understand why I kept saying that in the past, I've always gotten non-bleach highlights because my natural color is already at level 8, so just lifting it a few levels is enough and doesn't damage like bleach highlights.  The Western expat stylist easily did this, but I do have the impression that Asian hair is much thicker and stronger.

It is very warm and humid hear all year, and I did let one of the Asian stylists talk me into something called a Mucata treatment, which is AMAZING.  I had it two months ago and my hair is still shiny and smooth as glass even when I am walking outside in the humidity for a long time.  If you can find someone who can do a Mucata treatment back in DC, do it: it works great on Caucasian hair.[/quote]
