Japanese Inspired Hairstyles

The many trends and fashion movements of Japan mean that it is a rich source of inspiration for hairstyles. You can choose a Japanese hairstyle to suit every taste, style and budget, from the classically elegant to the edgiest styles around. A few distinct styles can be easily imitated and worn by Americans.

Lolita

    A popular fashion trend in Japan known as "Lolita" style is easily achieved at home. The style harks back to Victorian fashion and, as such, followers of the trend favor long, feminine hair. The Lolita style has different varieties and each style has a distinctive look, but all styles generally favor platinum blond or deep brunette or black hair.

    "Gothic" Lolitas usually sport straight hair that has been flattened with straightening irons. "Sweet" Lolitas favor "cutesy," girly styles, with big curls or pigtails a favorite. "Hime" (princess) Lolitas tease hair into a bouffant--this hairstyle is usually very long, curly and very feminine. Bows, pearls or other adornments are added to complete the Hime style.

Kyabajo (Hostess)

    The "Kyabajo" (hostess) is an elegant, retro hairstyle. Japanese hostesses take very good care of themselves; this is reflected in their personal grooming and style and most of them visit a salon before work. Hair is sleek, polished and very graceful.

    The Kyabajo style puts new spins on older hairstyles such as French twists and ponytails by playing with proportion. Chestnut buns are made large with hair extensions, and fringes are often teased to gain height. Even though the look is a sophisticated and sleek one, it is often intentionally messed to avoid looking too straight-laced and prim.

Gyaru

    "Gyaru" (meaning "gal") styles are the craziest and edgiest of all Japanese styles. The gyaru movement has many different subsets but none that will suit a shrinking violet. The fashion trends and the hairstyles associated with them require confidence and a brash attitude.

    Feminine hairstyles are among the tamer of gyaru styles with big curls, long hair and, often, beehive updos. The more extreme of the styles like "saike" ("psychedelic") or manba favor brightly colored hair and extreme styles. Synthetic hair of varying colors is often also added in and hair is very much a showpiece.
