Grunge, sports, the nostalgia of the '90s, and our model Jing as a schoolgirl... My task was simple: preserve the natural texture of the bob; however, working with Asian hair comes with its own unique characteristics and nuances.

For instance, Asian hair tends to be thicker and denser than other hair types, making styling more challenging. Achieving control often requires additional effort, and the hair may hold styles differently, requiring stronger products or tools for longer-lasting results.

Asian hair also has strong elasticity, allowing it to handle tension and styling better than some other hair types. However, over-styling or excessive heat can cause damage, so it's important to take precautions to avoid breakage. Overall, working with Asian hair requires a tailored approach, using the right products and tools for its texture while focusing on moisture, control, and elasticity.
