Asian women are often described as among the most beautiful women in the world, mainly when they are in their 20s and 30s, and for our purposes, in writing about the best hairstyles for Asian women, we fully agree. However, for whatever reason, for many hairstylists, the best Asian hairstyles for women remain a bit of a mystery.
It doesn’t have to be that way, however, and in this article, we pinpoint what is, in our opinion, the five best hairstyles for Asian women and provide you with plenty of sources for alternatives in case the five best do not tend to suit you.
The 5 Best Cuts for Asian Woman
Many different cuts work well for Asian women, but here are the five best, in our opinion:
- #1. Shoulder-length hair with waves. Combining shoulder-length hair with waves produces a very pleasing look for Asian women, and it also tends to reduce the effect of what many Asian women worry about: a rounded face look. This hairstyle is very lively and chic, but of course, to keep it looking that way, you also need a great shampoo, which according to HowToHairGirl, is extremely important.
- #2. Medium-Length Asian Layered Hair. This is a fantastic Korean Style cut, with hair below the collar bone but full of wispy layers to contrast the look. Be sure when choosing this hairstyle that you visit your hairstylists often to keep it looking lively.
- #3. Asian Pixie Cut. A feathered Asian Pixie Cut is the height of sophistication and is preferred by many Asian working women who want to look sophisticated. Still, their company tends to demand short hair (hey, it’s, unfortunately, is a factor in many Asian companies, which of course, we don’t generally have to worry about in the West). So be sure when choosing this hairstyle that, as an Asian woman, you have the face for it, though. If you are very short and have a tendency to have a rounded look, this haircut is generally not the one for you as your shorter hair will tend to accent rather than reduce the round effect of your face. But if you have the cheeks for it, and pardon the homonym, the Pixie Cut will make your cheeks look chic.
- #4. Pastel Peek-a-Boo Highlights. Asian women have a problem: their Dark Haired tresses are “dark.”Lighten it up a little with a pastel color, making your features pop. But, again, if you wish to embrace this hairstyle, make a regular appointment with your hairstylist, as left uncontrolled, your cut can turn into an untamed mess.
- #5. Blunt Ombre Bob Very easy to take care of, an ombre bob may be the perfect solution for a working girl who doesn’t want to spend a lot of time getting her hair ready for work in the morning. This is probably the simplest of our Asian-friendly hairstyles to work with.

Conclusion
Just because a woman is Asian does not mean that she needs to resort to a traditional bowl cut, which tended to be the trend for many years. The difficulty that Asian women encounter, with rare exceptions, is that they tend to have thinner hair, and light hair makes for much less volume.
Also vitally important is to find the right hair shampoo for your hair. But above all, you want a hairstyle that will flatter your face, so consider asking several dear friends if your face is angled or tends to be round if you can’t decide for yourself.
The last thing you need is a hairstyle that makes your face appear rounder than it already is.
FAQ’s
As an Asian woman, can I highlight my hair?
Yes, you can, although most Asians generally prefer pastel colors rather than blond highlights.
How often should I visit a stylist?
The general rule for women is around once in 8 weeks. However, Asian women often need to see their stylist more frequently to cut off the ends of their hair so that it appears thicker.
