Hello and welcome to the Alter-Daily Help Thread! The purpose of the ADHT is to ask simple questions, troubleshoot routines, get quick recommendations, prevent the sub from being too cluttered, and to guide new users.
ADHT Rules: If questions or comments break the rules or are inappropriate, the report button is the fastest way for the mod team to see it and address the problems.
Build Me A Routine, /r/AsianBeauty! Please refrain from just stating a skin concern then expecting people to build a routine from scratch. It is important to do due diligence in understanding your skin type and needs. Learn more here in The New User Guide. You can also search the subreddit here.
Non-AB questions or comments. Having non-AB products in your routine is totally fine! Getting specific advice/recommendations is not allowed, though welcomed in our Daily Anything Goes thread. See our rules on non-AB here
Rude comments and snark. Fairly self explanatory but for more detail, check out our Posting Guidelines
When directing someone to the sidebar provide specific links. i.e. for someone asking about Allergies or Beginner Guides, link them to the specific subsections within AB University, rather than saying it’s in the sidebar.
Finally, a reminder that no one is obligated to answer your questions. If you have repeatedly asked the same question without a response, it may be best to review and see if it can be reworded or if the information is already in the thread or readily available in the sidebar materials.
Remember that all skincare is individual and Your Mileage May Vary with recommendations. We are enthusiasts, not doctors, and we cannot provide you with medical advice. Speak to a medical professional if your skin concerns are affecting your well-being.

Other than genetics, how do East Asians keep such healthy hair even after perms, keratin and colour treatment (which are known to cause damage)?
I have been looking into Asian Hair care and have noticed that in East Asian, even when people do treatments that are typically very damging, their hair still looks so healthy and they are able to retain length and grow long shiny hair. ESPECIALLY idols and celebrities who often have to the or perm their hair and still have some of the healthiest hair I’ve ever seen. I know many idols wear extensions but even then it looks so healthy! And all my family friends in East Asia have GLASS HAIR. I have family friends who used to have really damaged hair while growing up but then once they went abroad to study in East Asia they came back with healthy hair. Like please tell me you’re secrets!!
Other then genetics, what are the holy grails?
Also which foods do you think that are most beneficial for hair health in the East Asian Diet as my friends were telling me that the food abroad outside of the UK is much better for you health wise?
Thank you for reading!!
Have a nice day!
