Japanese Modern Hairstyles

Return the chopsticks to the silverware drawer and throw out images of the pale-faced Geisha with her shiny black hair piled into exquisite shapes and adorned with flowers and other accessories. Modern Japanese hairstyles run the gambit: short to long, black to orange, straight to curly. Layers and bangs are also popular, among men and women alike, as well as styles that copy the spiky haircuts worn by popular characters in Japanese anime series.

Straight and Sleek

    Use a straightner to create sleek locks.

    Use a straightening iron to straighten curly or wavy hair to achieve the straight, sleek look of many modern Japanese hairstyles. Make an appointment with a professional stylist if you want to have your hair more permanently straightened with a chemical solution. Flatten the bangs as well to achieve the Japanese style.

Inspiration from Anime

    Seek inspiration from one of your favorite Japanese anime, or cartoon, characters. Overlook the characters with styles too over-the-top for your taste and focus on a character--male or female--with a style that will fit your own face and personality. Layer medium-length hair, for example, with the bangs arranged to slightly drape the face, and curl the bottoms in or out slightly. Add slight color--such as a pale orange or a pink--to short hair and rub in mousse for a tousled effect.

Layered at Any Length


    Layer short, medium-length or long hair to achieve a modern Japanese look. Cut multiple layers around the entire head. Frame the face with a dramatic series of layers. Add bangs into the layering process, choosing either to create a cascade of short to long bangs to accent the layered look or cutting straight bangs for a different modern Japanese look.
