Here we go again, taking celebrity hairstyles photographed by a professional and thinking thats how the world will perceive you in real life. No offense, but your hair looks ridiculous in that first shot. Just be normal, flashy haircuts only look good on camera. Unless you're goin to the club and want to look like a faggy showoff, they look fricken stupid walkin down the street.

The pic you posted up of jinho is very achievable. Have some layers in your hair, thin it out, and style.

Grow a fro, I had a fro bigger than Testies, everyone seemed to like it, there was not person who told me to cut except for ma' and pa'. I finally gave in after about 6 months worth of arguing to get it cut.

Regrets.

Actually I had hair like that before. Bitches lined up by the mile.

cut it short but not like military or super short... then fool around with gel... Oh right your forhead >_<;:
I used to have longer hair but it didn't suit me at all when I washed it it would curl hugely so friends of mine would call me mylady idk why they're french/wierd

. I cut it short and its a lot better so dont grow your hair long its a hell of a lot of work/ uncomfortable and summer get a forhead operation then see what you can do.

Don't know how I let myself miss a hair thread for 3 pages since I'm a bit of a fanatic when it comes to hairstyling and stuff, but I'm impressed to see that a lot of the info given here is on the spot. NewbSaibot and others who said something about professional hair =/= hair irl for normal people is right. Reach and YellOw get touched up before every match by professionals. It is in KTF's best interest to keep Reach and YellOw looking GOOD because if not, they lose fandom and subsequently, money. Unfortunately, the lot of us don't have personal hairstylists that can touch up our hair before a date, before we go to the store, before we go out, etc. You just have to find something that's practical and sustainable.

If you ever do end up choosing a hair style you like (hopefully from an actual hair styling site that gives examples and different angle views and key notes on cutting it, and not from a starcraft website or korean pop star website edit2: I do have to admit that this doesn't ALWAYS apply, for obvious reasons. Sometimes pop stars have some easily attainable hair, I was just trying to get the fact across that sometimes it won't turn out as well for more advanced styles because of the reasons already listed as well as others), you have to also consider certain things. The shape of your head (as discussed previously in this thread), the type of cohesive used (gel, wax, pomade, clay?), it's limitations (how long can it be before it goes out of whack), etc. This is all if you're just genuinely serious about it, otherwise you can just probably trust any good hairstylist to do something that more or less fits you well.

edit: as for a site that's good, www.bombhead.com/hairshop.htm is pretty decent. I tend to look at Japanese websites (bombhead is Koeran. There are subtle, noticeable differences in both "trendy" Korean and Japanese hairstylings) I'm on my secondary comp atm so I don't have the links I usually use for Japanese styles. Not to mention if you live by a little tokyo or something, you can probably buy magazines that focus on men's hair style + fashion (there are tons, and they go more in-depth if you or your hairstylist can understand it).

Panorama, any suggestions on a site? I'm considering a new cut but not really sure. I guess a few pictures would help.

Yeah, that's where I got the pics on page 1...bombhead. You guys are right, you can't expect your hair to look perfect all the time, so find a style that is low-maintenance. Jinho's style isn't hard to do at all, and I think it'll be good on you.

Hmmm interesting. It's just that my hair is so thin / wavy for an Asian's that a lot of cuts don't work.

My hair is pretty thin and straight. For me, I can create a wavy look to my bangs by getting it cut a certain way (though it does require extra help via the use of wax), and possibly your hair can gain a bit of texture if you cut it differently (sometimes some hair stylists, not knowing what you really want, will just give you normal trims that forego the presence of layers/some texture, etc. though I don't know your case specifically). You should also know that you can create more artificial looks your hair wouldn't otherwise be able to achieve via foil perms, or otherwise just damaging the hell out of your hair (by bleaching, dying, etc.). I tend to like my hair be healthy, so I don't dye it or anything and the only artificial stuff I use on it is just hair wax. It kinda limits me, but I like what I currently got now.

I'm sure that you can eventually find something you can work out though, it just really depends if you like it enough to warrant what's needed for you to attain it. For what it's worth, I go to a very good Korean fob hairstylist (not multiple from the store or whatnot, only one because she has the most experience with what I want and how I want to look, imo forming a bond with your hair stylist is key because it usually creates better results, though I guess it varies from place to place) that cuts for relatively cheap: 20 dollars a cut, I tip 5, monthly. I guess it's a stretch for a lot of people, but I personally think she could charge more, and I like what I get, so I don't mind.
