Asian hair styles and dandruff care tips :

Asian hair styles are usually conjoined with a certain, distinct look sleek. Asian hairstyles address the unique attributes of Asian hair that is usually black and thick. Asian hair is progressively in the spotlight with many Asian and Asian-American celebrities gracing the covers of fashion and film magazines. Black hair makes a spectacular statement, especially on women with Asian skin type.
Occassionally, a good cut and style is all it takes to make Asian hair look simply dazzling. Color highlights can also enliven up an Asian hair style, giving healthy, smooth locks a subtle frisson of excitement. Asian hair is different from Caucasian hair in which it is absorbs and retains moisture more quickly. It is necessary to keep these factors in mind while working out a hairstyle on Asian hair.
Thick hair tends to absorb dyes and color pretty rapidly but is resistant to bleaching. Perms and hair colors may need to be customised so as to avoid frizzy or flamed hair. Teenagers and younger women alter for short hair styles while older women prefer longer styles. It is also not outlandish to see extreme hairstyles, especially those influenced by hip hop and black American culture. Hair extensions and long braids are popularly used in Asian hairstyles.
Dandruff :
Dandruff is due to the excessive shedding of dead skin cells from the scalp. The skin of the scalp has many layers. The skin cells on the scalp are constantly renewing and the old cells get pushed to the surface by the new ones. If you have dandruff, the process of skin renewal (or skin turnover) speeds up to twice the normal rate, so a greater number of dead cells are shed. Some people, however, either chronically or as a result of certain triggers , experience an unusually large amount of flaking, which can also be accompanied by redness and irritation.
Most cases of dandruff can be easily treated with specialized shampoos. Excessive flaking can also be a symptom of seborrhoeic dermatitis , psoriasis , fungal infection or excoriation associated with infestation of head lice. The scalp becomes scaly and the skin cells shed and collect in clumps. They are noticeable when brushing the hair and can gather on the shoulders. The condition mostly occurs after puberty, usually between the ages of 20 and 30 and affects males more than females.  Dandruff responds very well to treatment, but will commonly recur if treatment is stopped.
Dandruff is the common term used for white skin flakes shedding from the scalp, or in some cases, other hair-covered skin. Seborrhea can present as a variety of conditions such as dandruff, thick scales on the scalp, redness on the face or in the armpits, or raw, red patches below the breasts. In other cases the skin may seem oily or even oily and dry at the same time. Skin is naturally shed from the scalp, but in dandruff sufferers it becomes noticable on the shoulders and causes an itchy scalp. Seborrhoeic dermatitis is the technical term for this common condition.
Hair Color :
Hair color is the result of pigmentation due to the presence of the chemicals of melanin and phaeomelanin. Coloring your hair is perhaps the quickest and most dramatic way to change your look. It is also an excuse to go out and buy a new wardrobe of clothes, because you'll find that what suited you as a brunette looks rather drab on a new blonde.
Human beings have many variations in hair color and hair texture. In general, the more melanin, the darker the hair color; the more phaeomelanin, the lighter it is. Usually the color of children's and adults' hair varies from pale yellow (blonde) to deep black. Hair may also come in more than one shade of color on one's head. As an example, the shade of one's hair color may change from a light shade to a darker one as time elapses.
