MY EASY STRAIGHT HAIR ROUTINE! *60 seconds*

Main summary

Key takeaways

Lifestyle

Goal (≈5 minutes)

A quick routine to style straight Asian hair so it doesn’t dry into a “chopped” or overly brittle look.

Essential Products (2 only)

  • Sea salt spray (brand mentioned: Base Body Works) Purpose: texture and waves

  • Hair pomade (brand mentioned: Base Body Works) Purpose: a more polished, presentable finish (wax-like, but not crusty or stiff)

Step-by-Step Routine

1) Prep: pat dry your hair

  • Don’t leave hair super wet—it may dry in an undesirable way.
  • Best tool: a microfiber towel (recommended; can be bought on Amazon).

2) Sea salt spray for waves/texture

Two options:

  • Option A (casual / more “mysterious” look):

    • Spray mainly at the ends (not the whole head) to avoid extra volume or frizziness.

  • Option B (more textured styling as it dries):

    • Shake/run your hands through hair.
    • Squeeze/press hair to form texture and volume.
    • Let it dry in the shape you want.

Note: Sea salt spray can sometimes feel drying/crusty, but this version is described as “all natural,” using genuine sea salt.

3) Pomade for a sharper, presentable finish

  • Use it when you want to look more “put together” (e.g., formal/dinner).
  • Apply a small amount—about “a tiny smidge”—then distribute evenly.
  • Spread it with a few strokes (described as 3 applications).
  • Styling preference: avoid fully slicking it back. Instead, leave some natural fall at the front/sides (the speaker notes a larger forehead makes full slick-back less ideal).

Application technique

  • Apply through the front into the middle/end, but don’t fully coat the entire head—this keeps a natural shape and prevents a fully slick-back look.

Pomade benefits

  • Feels moisturized, not sticky.
  • Gives hold without making hair look rigid/crusty.

Expected Result

Hair looks like it just came out of the shower: textured and wavy at the ends, with a cleaner/more “majestic” appearance rather than chopped.

Lifestyle / Setting Note

The speaker mentions being in Melbourne, enjoying the vibe/food, while also noticing the streets look dirty but “cool.”
