Looking for a simple change to your Asian hairstyle that can make you more attractive?
Gentlemen, THE ASIAN “BOWLCUT” HAS GOT TO GO!
Asian men have hair that might be widely disputed as the most desirable because it’s nice looking and easy to maintain. So when you do find the proper hairdresser that knows how to handle your hair, be a little adventurous and try a new hairstyle out.
I want to focus on the #1 best Asian hairstyle right now.
The Pompadour.
The pompadour has been around for ages but has been making a strong come back for the last 5 years. Many variations on the pompadour make this look not only unique to an individual. For example, the fauxhawk is a more “rockstar” variation of this hairstyle. The basic idea is to have a bit more on top with shorter sides.
Check out some examples and variations of the modern day pompadour on the next pages.
Harry Shum Jr’s “Clean-Cut Pomp”
Harry Shum Jr., co star in the hit series, Glee, has been sporting different lengths of the pompadour. He was featured in GQ with a innocent but sexy pompadour hairstyle. This look lends hands to a longer cut, which means more versatility in styling. Harry’s got a beautiful face that is also more long than round. For a face shape like this, having the hair at the sides a little longer looks fine. For the rounder faces (like PSY), a shorter side gives you more length. All in all this is a very nice looking Asian hairstyle that is very versatile, not too flashy, and can still work for a professional environment.
Asian Hairstyle Spotlight: PSY’s Slick Detailed Cut
Kpop megastar PSY has a tailored pompadour hairstyle with the top a bit long and noticeably “wet” styled with product to enhance it with a bit more detail. His sides are short and combed closely to the sides, which fits his rounder face and gives it more length. In the second image you can clearly check out his sides to see the shorter length. He’s not the sexiest guy on this list by any means, but his hair makes him look a lot better than he would be without it. I personally prefer a guy with the sides a little more buzzed, and we’ll go onto that NEXT.
Daniel Henney’s 50’s Pompadour With a Fade
One of the most desirable (half) Asian males out there, Daniel Henney sports a classical 50’s pompadour Asian hairstyle. Rebel like coolness. Sharp and clean. If you take a look at the sides, he does a fade to the bottom, which is a nice variation of the style and brings it back a little more old-school. Also check out the sexy hard-split (the spot where you can clearly see the scalp). The pompadour Asian hairstyle with sides faded and the hard-split is very VERY popular right now. This does take a bit more to maintain since you’ll need to get it cut every couple weeks to maintain the “clean” factor that Henney rocks, but it’s a good look that works in a professional environment.
Bruno Mar’s Curly Adorable Cut
Bruno Mars puts a unique spin on the pompadour cut that’s extremely long and thick on top with pretty short sides. Reminiscent of Elvis’s more laid back curly hairstyle in his heyday. It takes confidence to rock this variation of the hairstyle but if one can handle it, sexy… Bruno also has very thick curly hair so this type of styling is perfect for him. Bruno Mars is on the shorter side, so having hair that tall gives him the illusion of 2-3 inches of height. If you’re a shorter guy, this is something you should consider.
PS. Did anyone know that Bruno Mars is actually Asian? Yeah, that’s why I included his pictures in the list of Asian men’s hairstyles.
TOP’s Extreme “Rockstar” Pompadour
TOP is one of the hottest Asian men on the planet, and he’s also part of the Korean band Big Bang. He’s also known as one of the most stylish men in all of Korea. His pompadour is VERY extreme, even more than Bruno Mars, and he also dyes his hair blonde, blue & many other crazy colors. In this hairstyle you can clearly see the difference between the hair on-top and the hair on the sides. He also styles the hair on top very “K-pop” with waves or slicked back.
Although the way he colors his hair and the amount of gel he must use is a bit on the unhealthy side, he rocks it really well. But a word of caution, this hair is a little hard for the average guy to pull off. You must have rockstar swag to make this work for you — this hairstyle is not appropriate for the average Asian man working in the cubicle (although you can bust it out for a night of clubbing).
Tae Yang’s SICK Fauxhawk
The last Asian men’s hairstyle variation of 2014 I want to show you is the infamous “fauxhawk” or “mohawk” which has been popular since forever. These days it’s more likely to see the fauxhawk, since in my opinion it’s better to not show as much scalp as in the mohawk. Here’s 2 variations of this cut by Tae Yang of Big Bang. The most important thing to note is the fauxhawk always extends to the bottom of the neck, whereas the average pompadour will not spike up the back. Also the hair should look spiky more than wavy. On the left you have the typical less crazy fauxhawk and on the right you have a much more extreme variation that requires a lot more upkeep (and should be reserved for a night out on the town or acting in a music video). The one on the left requires only need a bit of hair styling wax and you’re good to go.
In conclusion!
This hairstyle for Asian men has taken on many variations — from clean and sharp, to long and showy, to spiky and tall. As a girl, I know I’m extremely attracted to Asian men that rock this hairstyle, and it’s a sure way to grab a women’s attention. Try it out and put your own spin on the style. Take your favorite picture of this cut to your barber today and make it happen.
