The cuticle layers lie flat and are more densely packed, enhancing the hair&#8217;s natural sheen. Additionally, genetic factors contribute to thicker strands and more melanin, which can protect against damage and preserve shine. Proper hair care practices, common in Asian cultures, also play a significant role in maintaining hair health and luster.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Is_Asian_Hair_So_Shiny\"><\/span>Why Is Asian Hair So Shiny?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<ul class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#cbfbe7\">\n<li>The <strong>Asian hair cuticle layer is known to be more thicker <\/strong>and has <strong>compact cuticle flaps <\/strong>as compared to Caucasian hair.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Asian hair cuticles are stronger <\/strong>as compared to Caucasian hair cuticles and thus have the ability to absorb more stress.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>hair cuticles are closely attached to each other<\/strong> in Asian hair, as compared to African hair types.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Asian hair is known to have one of the best cross-sectional areas<\/strong>, as compared to Caucasian and African hair types.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is also known that <strong>East Asians hair has around 10 layers of cuticles<\/strong>, while Caucasian hair has just around 5 layers of cuticles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thus, we can be quite certain to conclude that Asian hair has more of an advantage when it comes to hair shine because of the number of cuticle layers it has. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Since the cuticles on the hair shaft is the part of the hair that is responsible for keeping the hair from damage and giving it a better hair shine, it is clear that<strong> Asian hair is relatively shinier than other hair types<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<cite>&#8211; <em>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7187942\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Leerunyakul, Kanchana, and Poonkiat Suchonwanit. \u201c<strong>Asian Hair: A Review of Structures, Properties, and Distinctive Disorders.\u201d Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology <\/strong>vol. 13 309-318. 24 Apr. 2020, doi:10.2147\/CCID.S247390<\/a>)<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Structure_of_Asian_Hair\"><\/span>The Structure of Asian Hair<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before I delve any deeper into answering the most requested question about the reason behind Asian hair shine, I will have to run you through a little bit of scientific stuff here in order for you to understand the reasoning behind why Asian hair is shinier than other hair types. So, let\u2019s go through the structure of a hair strand first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each hair strand has two main parts, wherein the visible part (we see) is the hair shaft and then, the hair root (which is under the scalp).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Asian-Hair-So-Shiny2-1-1024x614.jpg\" alt=\"why is asian hair so straight\" class=\"wp-image-24015\" srcset=\"https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Asian-Hair-So-Shiny2-1-1024x614.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Asian-Hair-So-Shiny2-1-scaled-600x360.jpg 600w, https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Asian-Hair-So-Shiny2-1-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Asian-Hair-So-Shiny2-1-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Asian-Hair-So-Shiny2-1-1536x922.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Asian-Hair-So-Shiny2-1-2048x1229.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The hair shaft comprises of three main layers. The outermost layer is called the cuticle that is made up of overlapping flaps or cells (that replicate tiles on a roof). The cuticle is one that protects the hair strand from damage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can keep the inner layers of the hair protected and can give the hair a radiant shine. But, if the hair is damaged, then light will not reflect off the hair shaft and thus, it will not look shiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second layer or the middle layer of the hair shaft is the cortex. It is the thickest among the three layers of the hair strand and it contains the hair pigment giving the hair its color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third and innermost layer is the medulla, which is present in coarser hair types, while fine hair usually doesn\u2019t have this layer sometimes, which is normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Asian-Hair-So-Shiny5-1.jpg\" alt=\"Why Is Asian Hair So Shiny?\" class=\"wp-image-24012\" width=\"553\" height=\"442\" srcset=\"https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Asian-Hair-So-Shiny5-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Asian-Hair-So-Shiny5-1-300x240.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 553px) 100vw, 553px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Is_Asian_Hair_So_Straight\"><\/span>Why Is Asian Hair So Straight?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most often, you will notice that most of the Asian people or at least a large number of East Asian people have straight hair.&nbsp; It sure is intriguing right? How does that happen?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, one of the main reasons hair is straight, curly or wavy is the shape of the hair follicle. Some hair follicles can be round in shape, while there are others that are elliptical in shape or oval in shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Asian-Hair-So-Shiny1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"why do i have asian hair\" class=\"wp-image-24017\" width=\"571\" height=\"571\" srcset=\"https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Asian-Hair-So-Shiny1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Asian-Hair-So-Shiny1-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Asian-Hair-So-Shiny1-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Asian-Hair-So-Shiny1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Asian-Hair-So-Shiny1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Asian-Hair-So-Shiny1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Asian-Hair-So-Shiny1-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Asian-Hair-So-Shiny1.jpg 2001w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 571px) 100vw, 571px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So as per research by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), they talk about cross-sectional views of the hair follicles, wherein they noticed that Asian hair strands had the greatest cross-sectional area, as compared to African and Caucasian hair (the other two main hair types). The Asian hair follicle had the most circular cross-section and was rounder in shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, this could give us some reasoning as to why Asian hair is so straight, as compared to other hair types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another aspect researched by the NCBI was hair curvature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Asian-Hair-So-Shiny-1-1024x500.jpg\" alt=\"how to make asian hair shiny\" class=\"wp-image-24019\" srcset=\"https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Asian-Hair-So-Shiny-1-1024x500.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Asian-Hair-So-Shiny-1-scaled-600x293.jpg 600w, https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Asian-Hair-So-Shiny-1-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Asian-Hair-So-Shiny-1-768x375.jpg 768w, https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Asian-Hair-So-Shiny-1-1536x749.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Asian-Hair-So-Shiny-1-2048x999.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, this research, it states that Asian hair has a rounder shape which is more cylindrical with less curvature, leading to Asian hair being straight, while African hair has a more flattened shape, with twists and a higher curvature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These two scientific reasons give us certainty on how Asian hair gets its straightness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Asian_Hair_Stronger_Than_Caucasian_Hair\"><\/span>Is Asian Hair Stronger Than Caucasian Hair?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me begin with first answering the question before getting into the details. Well, yes, Asian hair is considered stronger than Caucasian hair, and here\u2019s why!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Asian hair cuticles are known to be stronger because as per research, when tested under pressure (like when the hair is pulled), it can still maintain its original shape to a certain extent and only under extreme stress, it peel off as fragments when stretched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But on the other hand, Caucasian hair is known to have fragile hair cuticles that cannot withstand high levels of pressure and can snap into tiny fragments when under extreme stress (like when the hair is pulled).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Does_Asian_Hair_Get_So_Oily\"><\/span>Why Does Asian Hair Get So Oily?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main reasons hair gets oily very quickly is because of having a straight hair type. Well, most Korean and Japanese people have straight hair types, this being one of the main factors causing their hair to get oily in no time even after they have washed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me break this down for you guys with an example. So, first of all, our scalp naturally produces a substance called sebum, which is oily or waxy in texture. This sebum coats the scalp and thereafter moves down along the hair shaft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Asian-Hair-So-Shiny4.jpg\" alt=\"i hate my asian hair\" class=\"wp-image-24021\" width=\"565\" height=\"424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Asian-Hair-So-Shiny4.jpg 500w, https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Asian-Hair-So-Shiny4-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 565px) 100vw, 565px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, for those with curly or wavy hair, the waves, curves or twists and turns in the hair will act like obstacles for spreading the sebum down till the tips of your hair strands and thus, it will take it longer for curly or wavy hair to get or look oily (but this can be a cause for dry hair as well).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the contrary, straight hair is more prone to becoming oily because their hair shafts do not have any sort of texture to obstruct the sebum from flowing smoothly down the hair shaft. So it slides down the hair and makes it look oily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, for those with straight hair like the Korean and Japanese people, dealing with oily hair issues can often become an everyday problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Why You Should Trust Haireveryday?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#faf8dc\"><strong><em>The author of this article, <a href=\"https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/author\/editor\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Amy Angelos<\/a> has a degree in Cosmetology from The Salon Professional Academy in San Jose, California with 10 years of experience in dealing with hair care, scalp care, and hairstyling.
