Thick, stiff hair is common among Asian men. It often sticks out at the sides, becomes bulky as it grows, and can be difficult to control in Ho Chi Minh City’s humid climate.

The right haircut can make your hair easier to manage while keeping it clean and professional.

1. Short Sides with a Longer Top

Keeping the sides short reduces unwanted volume and prevents the hair from sticking out.

Leaving some length on top gives you more styling options and creates a balanced shape. This style works especially well for business professionals who want a clean but modern appearance.

2. Fade Haircut

A low or mid fade is an excellent choice for thick, stiff hair.

The gradual transition keeps the sides neat and makes the hairstyle look sharp for longer. A low fade provides a softer, more professional finish, while a mid fade creates a stronger and more modern impression.

3. Textured Crop

A textured crop uses the natural strength of thick hair instead of trying to flatten it completely.

Removing excess weight and adding texture helps the hair move more naturally. It is also easy to style and works well in hot, humid weather.

4. Side-Part Business Style

A side-part hairstyle is ideal for men who need a polished appearance for work.

The top should be long enough to control the hair’s direction, while the sides are cut short to reduce volume. Wax, pomade, or hair grease can help maintain a clean shape throughout the day.

5. Iron Perm for Easier Styling

If your hair sticks out strongly or is difficult to control, an iron perm can help.

It can direct the hair naturally, flatten bulky areas, and create movement on top. Unlike a traditional curly perm, an iron perm can produce a subtle and professional result.

It also reduces the time needed for daily styling.

Avoid Thinning the Hair Too Much

Removing too much hair with thinning scissors may seem like a quick solution, but it can make short hairs stick out even more.

The key is to remove weight only from the necessary areas while maintaining a balanced shape. Proper cutting technique is more important than simply making the hair thinner.

Recommended Styling Tips

For better control:

• Wet the hair from the roots before styling
• Use a hairdryer to control the direction
• Press the sides down while drying
• Apply a small amount of wax or pomade
• Finish with hairspray when stronger hold is needed

Conclusion

The best hairstyles for thick, stiff hair are designed to control volume while using the hair’s natural strength.

A short-sided style, textured crop, fade, or iron perm can make your hair easier to manage and improve its overall appearance.
