I only say Japanese because most people are familiar with them. But it seems all East Asians nowadays have this really nice soft hair that looks cool when long. My hair looks clumpy and thick like in those old Hong Kong movies. So I know it's not just the genes, it's mostly what I do.
But I'm a guy, and as desperate as I am to get that nice texture, I don't know what is "going too far". What do most males who care about their hair in Asian cities do? Do they commonly get it chemically treated? Or is it simply that their products are better for Asians because it's Asia?
Some guys do get it chemically treated. Hair is pretty cheap to get it done there. But I think most of them use a straightening iron or blow dry it straight.
By the way, are you Asian by any chance? Having Asian hair would probably help..

Hopefully, or then he's the biggest weeaboo ever.
Yes...I'm Asian. Otherwise I wouldn't mention Hong Kong movies and products that are better for Asians. I am American, however, and where I'm from Asians mostly spike their hair, but when it isn't it looks just as bad as mine. Which is why I bring up Asians from a different country.
what about this wavy look?
well actually if u want to get some kind of asian 'textured' hairstyle, try to go to asian salon and get ur hair thin and layered. It will help a lot.
If you don't like how curl your hair is, go buy a hair iron or go to salon for straightening perm.
And lastly to make your hair looks textured, apply some hair products such as wax and hairstyle.
There are so many tutorials on how to do these styling in youtube, try to watch some.
Just want to tell you that keeping this kind of hairstyle is tiring. It can't be done in a 5 minute after bath time. lol
aside from getting it thinned and layered, you can also get it razor edged which can give you a cool look. it's key to bring a photo.
going to an asian salon is key. if you want spiky hair, then its better if your hair is hard naturally.
also it sounds like you have hair similar to mine, it will be very afro-like until it grows 3-inches plus so while your growing it out just get it thinned every 2 months or so.
if your hair gets frizzy, you can try the smoothing serum from fructis. for styling i use surf hair wax from fructis... gatsby smells waaay too rubbery for me :p
