I think its better to not be afraid to do something different than it is to worry about impressing people who make a big deal about something thats different.

I've been dating a blonde Chinese girl for a long time now, so I guess I'm used to it . . . I think it looks cute on her, at least.

I hate Asians dying their hair blonde. I went out on a date with a girl who did that and never called her again after 1st date.

really depends on the girl but I've seen quite a few hot ones with blond hair but I've seen quite a few with it looking like A**

blonde usually looks pretty bad on asians. though darker colors usually look okay.

It seems really common that Japanese girls dye their hair some shade of red. I think and have always thought it looked bad and dumb.

There is a type of plastic surgery--very common in Korea--that creates a fold in the eyelid, yes.

IMO the blond highlights are the worst. It tends to come off more brown than blond, so the end result is something like sh!t-streaked hair.

What about this person?

omg ju pah. :eek:

i dont care. its not as common any more anyways. it used to be the fob style to get all reddish/brown link, but a lot of girls are going back to black. im personally partial to the black or subtle highlights.

i tried red and blond highlights before, but i didnt really like it. it stands out too much on black hair. ive always been jealous of white people who can get that nice layered brown/blond...

That just takes tenacity!

My GF (the blonde) is a stylist, so it's not a big deal for her to get frequent dyejobs. Her hair is obviously phony in coloration, but if it were on a white girl it would look perfectly natural.

i have brown highlights in my hair. i actually like it because it keeps my hair from looking so plain, since it's not "shiny" black. (well i guess i could take care of that with better conditioning..)

i purposely do it so it looks natural. if it looks freakish then i'll try to dye my hair back. (and note, if you dyed your hair let's say, blonde, and you want to go back to black, DON'T DYE IT BLACK. it looks too dark and unnatural. buy a dark dark brown.)

when i used to have hair i bleached it brown in college. i didnt like how it looked, but after i cut most of my hair to about 1/4 inch in length, it looked kinda cool when it grew out and just the tips were brown.


i dont think its really bad at all, it draws attention to people. the girls with brown hair look pretty good. then agian i think they'd probably look good with black hair too.

i figure its just an attention thing... its like say a tatoo or a really bright colored shirt for me i guess. if everyone had bleached hair, or a bright colored hawaiian shirt, people would stop since they wouldnt catch your eye with it anymore
