The Emergence of Many New Asian Hairstyles

Some people still envision a traditional bowl cut or the front half of the head shaved with the back worn long and pulled into a pony tail when they think of Asian hairstyles for men. However, the days of these styles have long passed. For a while, Asian's tried to duplicate the styles worn by other ethnic groups. But, that too has lost its charm. Today, we are seeing the emergence of many new popular Asian hairstyles for men.

Short Conservative Hairstyle

Medium Length Textured Style

Mocomichi Hayami medium length hairstyleMany men who wish to look professional, yet somewhat relaxed, are doing so by wearing their hair in a medium length textured style. One reviewer has referred to this hairstyle as "tastefully understated." It crosses boundaries of style and works well for professionals who want to look like "one of the boys" in casual settings.

Shoulder Length Layered Hairstyle

Messy Faux-Hawk

Some styles manage to cross over the boundaries and confuse the lines between serious business man and laid back man about town. Even styles that have a basis in western culture have been modified into a style that is uniquely Asian, such as the messy faux-hawk.
