    -----------------------
    Welcome back to The Asian Menswear Podcast! This week, we're back with a Spotlight/Barbershop Talk episode to talk all about Asian hair with hair experts Peter and Tim from the popular 12Pell Barbershop located in the heart of Chinatown, New York.
    12 Pell is a barbershop founded by young millennials & Gen Z determined to bring new energy to the traditional men's grooming space. In addition, 12 Pell has been featured on Yahoo Finance, BBC News, and ABC News and has a social media following of over half a million followers across all platforms.
    In this episode, we'll learn about Tim and Peter, their Barbershop 12 Pell, and talk about something that doesn't necessarily get talked about enough, and that's Asian hair. So if you ever wondered why your hair grows outward or why you're not able to rock specific haircuts like the ones you see in magazines, then you'll enjoy this episode!

    I always considered Asian hair to be not straight like your typical European person, but curved. When it gets long it doesn't fall straight down but kind of grows almost up and the longer it is the more easily you can see a curve along the strand

    Answer: Asian hair is super thick and straight its almost like tiny needles when cut short. For it to have a volume, you need to add length and weight. I mean you can always get a perm. If you do decide to add length and weight. You might wanna seek a decent enough barber who is good at layering. This will fix that awkward growing out phase and give you a lil more trimmed or slickback look.

      Another fix to that is the right side of my hair usually stays down while the left side stays up like that so to get that done you can just take part of your hair, make a hairline in between (not exactly in the middle of your face) but starting a little from the left and then make it go down toward the left that solved the problem for me, let me know if this has helped you too

      Umm so if you wrap it with a towel, you can just hold it till it drys or for 8-10 minutes, depending on type of hair mine lasted for days, I don’t use anything on my hair except some ordinary protein hair cream after shower….
