Caveat I've never tried the look myself so I can't guarantee this will work.
That being said, I've personally found, and read online that with asian hair, since it's so strong and straight, blow drying it is mandatory for pretty much any sort of style. Now, with respect to this hair style, it looks like you'll need the top of your hair to be at least 10 cm long. Any shorter and, with asian hair, you'll just end up with the spiky dragon ball Z look.
So for styling:
And that's it. Like I said, I'm not sure if this will work for sure as I've never done a completely slicked back hairstyle. But overall I know for sure, with Asian hair, the key is to blow dry it. A blowdryer is your best tool, above any product, when dealing with Asian hair.
Haven't seen it mentioned yet, but I use Gatsby (either the pink or the grey one). It's a japanese hair product, basically its wax/paste that has a fruity apple scent.
There's a variety of colors that correspond to specific style/length (chart) with each having unique attributes (graphic here). Both the pink and the grey provide stronger holding power with little to no shine, ideally for "shorter" hair.

not sure if this helps but this is the wax I use: https://www.amazon.com/Gatsby-Moving-Rubber-Grunge-Mat/dp/B000V2ACIM
Do you mean you want it to look like you have no product in your hair? If so, look into waxes and clays. A good, cheap wax to make your hair look natural with no product would be Gatsby Spiky Edge aka. Gatsby Pink. Gatsby Gray Mat is even more matte, but doesn't have as much hold. Hairbond Shaper Hair Toffee has similar properties to Gatsby Pink, but is a little better in some regards and is more expensive. All these products are very popular and have reviews and videos online, so research them to see if you like them.
Also, you should try hairdrying/blowdrying your hair before applying any product with a comb or fingers to get the general style you want, then use product to get it to hold that style. You'll notice it helps a lot.
Gatsby Moving Rubber Grunge Mat. I believe /u/jknowl3m uses it as well.
I like to use the other grey Gatsby one with an oil. Feels more light.
I've been using american crew fiber and it's the best product I've tried. I want to try gatsby matte wax next though people seem to like it on amazon.

This is what I use now to achieve my layered fob hairstyle: https://www.amazon.com/Gatsby-Moving-Rubber-Grunge-Mat/dp/B000V2ACIM
Is there a better alternative that will also achieve the same side-swept bangs hairstyle and is healthier to the hair?
I have similar cut and I just use this wax . I think anything similar you can achieve that look if you fiddle with it.
