  Asian hair has its benefits and drawbacks. The hair is usually stronger with more shine than other types of hair. However, Asian hair can sometimes be hard to cut and style because the texture shows minor mistakes in the cut. One of the more popular modern styles for Asian hair is hair with bangs.
  
  

Square bangs

• If you want square bangs, one of the more modern and interesting styles is to do a two layered haircut that combines a textured bob that extends to the shoulders, with longer, wavy pieces underneath. The bangs are square across the forehead, extending to an inch under the highest part of the eyebrow arch. Darker colors in the hair, especially around the bangs, will add a striking feature; if darker colors are used for the bangs, then deep reds and browns should be used near the ends of the longer part of the hair.
  
  

Textured bangs

• Another popular style of bangs is to texture the bangs and layer them so that they frame the face. Very choppy hair compliments this look, with lots of layers and texturizing. Ask your stylist to go in the hair with a razor, take out a lot of weight, and also add fun movement to the hair. Great colors with this style of cut are almond and chestnut or any other color in the auburn family.
  
  

Updos

• Because of the sleekness of Asian hair, Asian hair is often well suited for updos. If you have bangs, the updo should compliment the bangs. Textured bangs should be complimented with looser, more playful updos, while straight, square bangs should be complimented with tighter ponytails and sleeker updos. Bows, headbands or hair clips near the bangs will emphasize the bangs and draw attention to the eyes.
