Just get what you can and then mix and match. You know... play around with it. I can almost promise you it won't come out right the first few times -_-. And after that you'll have to remember how you did it 0-o
Good Luck!

Man...trying to look visual as an asian in america....good luck. asian's are typically hard asses about wanting their kids sticking out like a sore thumb. But if you can get away with it, then here are some suggestions:
To add colour and length to your hair without damaging it, go to Lowe's or Home Depot and buy thick nylon woven rope in assorted colours. Unwind the weaving of the ropes to make loose strands and rebraid them in colour chunks thru out your hair. Concentrate mainly on your bangs and around your ears. You can leave the back untouched to make it more kick ass. Lazy+Kick ass.
Make sure to tame those bushy eyebrows. Nothing says Visual like a pair of bueatifully sculpted eyebrows. And don't be afraid to use an eye brow pencil to fill in your mistakes or to define it more.
And shop at thrift stores for old women victorian style ruffle shirts and old ugly neck ties and scarves. Just make sure it fits. and don't be afraid to tear them up and put them back together in different arrangements. A sleeve here a sleeve there.
If you have to spent for one high ticket item, that should be for an awesome pair of sh!@ kickers. Boots , shoes....etc.
well good luck

Asian parents are definately crazy about appearance. You can say that you are respecting your heritage and ancestor, so that way you can grow it long and tie it in a top knot or something. Fortunately I'm older now and don't care able my mom hounding me about my looks. My dad was always cool. I also had great grades during my school years but they were strict as hell about how I looked. Yes, the nylon trick works well. I did that and everyone thought it was uber cool and I never fried my hair. You can also achieve the mega chunky dreadlock look with that, just get the nylon wet....It'll start kinking up like Barbie doll hair.
