Sides
Keep enough length or choose the right taper so the hair does not spike outward as it grows.
ASIAN · THICK · STRAIGHT HAIR
Asian hair is not one single texture, but many clients arrive with similar frustrations: sides that stick out, a difficult crown, compact weight or a fade that looks too exposed. Youssef adapts length, scissor work and fade placement to your actual growth instead of applying one standard formula.
This approach is booked in Setmore as “Standard Haircut” at $30 CAD for 25 min.

LOCAL FIT
Dense, straight hair can lift at the sides, hold weight at the ridge and react poorly to aggressive thinning. Youssef adapts the outline, scissor work and transition to the real growth pattern—a focused option for Asian men’s hair and thick straight hair in NDG, Montreal.
FOR YOU
This approach suits straight, thick or very dense hair that quickly builds volume at the sides. It also helps when multiple cowlicks make the fringe, crown or connection to the top difficult to control.
THE RESULT
Keep enough length or choose the right taper so the hair does not spike outward as it grows.
Follow the natural swirl so the hair settles without creating a hole or a visible step.
Remove weight selectively while preserving enough structure for a fringe, side part or textured style.
STEP BY STEP
Observe density, cowlicks and areas that lift before adding water or product.
Choose lengths and the top-to-side connection around the way the hair naturally falls.
Dry and return the hair to your usual direction to verify the shape in realistic conditions.
