Asian Afro

[jdflorette]

Harajuku girls and boys’ love of Black culture has seeped in their beauty routines. Behold the Asian Afro, also known as the “reverse perm.” It is catching on amongst Asians, especially Japanese and Koreans. The process uses a chemical cream to transform traditionally straight, silky Asian hair into tightly-coiled curls which are extremely similar in look and texture to African American hair. Ironically perms are equally popular in Black culture too, except the result is the opposite: it makes hair bone straight. I think the “Asian Afros” look really cool, what do you think? Let me know in the comments section

The Major(ISH): Trend Alert: The Asian Afro

He or she who wrote the post could be wrong, but they talk about a cream... I'm hoping it is real, as blacks have used relaxing creams to straighten their afros for years... Hopefully someone could shed light on this matter, cause i want to know, or get over it and get on with life in my straight hair

There is a site where they maybe sell this stuff, but i cant understand it:

Harajuku people love black culture? You learn something everyday. I thought they were into decora and annoying stuff like that, not gangsta style, which also is annoying.

The cream is part of the "perm" process, and isn't something I imagine you could do on your own. If you could, why would people pay hundreds of dollars to have it done in a salon?

In my experience the "hip-hop" culture is much more prevalent in Japan than decora or anything like that.

Maybe you could just go to a salon and ask how to get that done.

The afro hair styles are called "Stoney Skunk" and "Mr. Satan" ? Since when have you seen a skunk or Satan with an afro?
You mean DJ Ozma's hair isn't natural? That is like telling me there isn't a Santa Claus.

I think it's either natural or he spent a pretty penny in a salon, but I don't think there is an actual product that can turn your hair from straight to that.

There's no product apart from, I dunno, walking around outside in the humidity.

And no, racially, the Japanese have very straight hair. SOMETIMES they have wavy or slightly curly hair naturally (my friend does and we poke fun at him all the time a la Gintama). But 99% of the time it's a perm. They LOVE perms.
