I read that in Japan some people get reverse perms to make their hair unmanagable and resemble afros which I think is funny bc usually people here get perms to make their hair straight and manageble. ^_^

I guess my second question would be if barbers/salons down there do "shape ups"

I copied an pasted a definition from wiki.

Quote:
Shape-Up is the name given to a hairstyle that is a cut around the hairline. It is usually mixed and matched with other hair styles, but on many occasions is done alone.

It is typically found amongst African American men who utilize the Caesar cut. The hair is cut low, and after the primary cutting is done, the barber uses T-shaped clippers or a sharp razor blade to line up the customer's hair line, circling the entire head to include behind the ears, the back of the head, and sideburns. In nearly all cases as well, the barber may remove other hair which is visible from the customer's shirt collar growing from the back or lower neck.

You can see it abit in this picture, on the sides but u cant see the forehead bc my hair is a bit crazy in that pic.
