Asian Hair Gets a Bad Rep...
Asia is the worlds largest and most populous continent, having a population of almost 4 billion people. To put this number into perspective the population of the USA is just over 300 million.
Contrary to what most people think Asia is not simply China. Asia is made up of a number of regions and people, China simply being one of them.
Everything shown in green is considered Asia; please note Russia is also considered part of Asia.
The misconception out there is that Asian hair is the worst hair on the market, have you heard or read the following anywhere?
-Asian hair is stick straight
-Asian hair is always very coarse
-Asian hair is very dark (black in color)
-Asian hair will only look good if worn by an Asian person
-Asian hair will not last
As with any product there is good and bad and Asian hair is no different… so yes over processed Asian hair is bad but so is over processed European hair and we won’t mention Indian since we have established that India is also considered part of Asia.
There is a wide variety of Asian hair on the market with origins from Malaysia to Mongolia and Russia. Some Asian hair is very straight others are very wavy; some can be very fine while others can be coarse, some is very dark and yet others are light in color, it all depends on where it came from. Because of its population and diversity Asia is an excellent source of human hair so when trying to decide what type of hair to purchase make sure you understand what you want and why you want it.
I can wear any hair I want but I like to wear my hair straight with some body so I choose to wear virgin Asian hair from Malaysia, the color is dark brown and the texture is slightly coarse which looks like perm straight without having any chemicals. The hair has good weight so it tends to sit where I put it. It does not accumulate a static charge and holds a curl very well this equals great value for your money.
Good Hair is Worth its Weight in Gold...
Good human hair is becoming rarer and rarer. Most human hair on the market originates from China and India. These contries have not only the population to accomadate supply and demand but they also grow their hair to long lengths, this enables hair companies to source from these countries while keeping costs down.
Recently the Industrialization of these countries has caused a reduction in the amount of hair available on the market... causing the price to rise. In addition to this the labour cost in these countries is also rising, compounded with the high cost of fuel and lower USD against the Chinese dollar (RMB) equals higher pricing.
The retail customer may not immediately make the correlation between the above factors and how they affect the cost, especially in a natural product such as hair.
When customers perceive a high cost for long lengths of hair we explain that our raw hair is not mechanically produced... Think of how long it takes you to grow 1 inch of hair, then consider how long it took someone to grow 22,24,26 inches of hair. Much of the time this puts things into perspective.
We warn customers about purchasing hair based on price alone and encourage them to research its purity is they encounter a price that appears to good to be true... it usually is.
Miss MyMy Inc will only use the finest human hair available, combined with the finest skilled workmanship available to process the hair. Quality control, customer service and the best materials are the three things that contribute to our success.
To date Miss MyMy Inc has not introduced an increase in the cost of its products to its customers in response to the changing market.

I am starting to grow my hair out and it's at a difficult in-between stage. Do you have an style ideas?
There's alot of tricks to help you get through that "transition stage". Keep reminding yourself that you want this, and in 6 months to a year you'll have the hairstyle you want!
The best way to manage your style and mix up your look is with cute and funky accessories. Headbands are all the rage at the moment. Pretty pins will also help keep that floppy fringe out of your eyes. Play around to find different ways to pin your hair up and make it look longer.
Even boys can adopt this look. A wide cloth headband worn to hold the hair out of your face.
Scarves are also a very cool way to tie your hair back, and a great style accessory.
Another option is to buy a cool hat and start wearing it all the time to hide your growing out hair. Make it your signature look for this season! Berets and pageboy hats are the favourite with celebrities including Ashley Simpson, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton.
Growing out bangs can be a massive pain, but a secret is to have your stylist angle them. Then as they grow you can brush them to the side as they get longer.
Some hair growing facts and tips:
* Your hair only grows up to 6 inches a year!
* The weather can affect your hair growth- Hair grows quicker in hotter months, and slower during winter.
* Not everyone can grow a head of waist length hair! Fine, thin or severely damaged hair probably won't
grow past a medium length very easily.
* Poor diet and stress may sometimes be a cause of slow hair growth. The healthier you are, the better condition and appearance your hair will have.
If you're ready for the commitment of growing long hair, make sure you continue to have regular trims to keep your hair looking and feeling healthy. It might seem like the quickest way to grow your hair is not to cut it at all, but that is not the case. Regular trims, every 8-10 weeks, will keep your hair looking good while you go through many stages of growing it out.
Also ask your hair stylist to cut your hair to aid the hair growth. For instance, if you're trying to grow out layers, the stylist can cut the back up shorter while waiting for the sides to catch up. If you're trying to grow out bangs, you might end up with a mullet look (longer at the back, shorter at the front), so the stylist can keep the back shorter while the front catches up.
