Which Traditional Hairstyle Will You Choose? The Allure of a Neat Chignon ♡
A chignon styled without soft waves and tied neatly exudes a dignified presence.
It creates a classic and formal bride appearance that captures the essence of tradition.
Its timeless charm is not influenced by trends, so you'll likely look back at your photos years or even decades later and still find them beautiful. ♡
A smoothly finished chignon gives off an elegant and graceful aura, perfectly embodying the spirit of a traditional Japanese bride. ♩
Hair accessories such as traditional hairpins (kanzashi) or luxurious orchids are quite popular.
You'll have a traditional look that leaves guests in awe. ♡
For a neat chignon, it's recommended to either sweep the bangs to the side significantly or go for an all-back style.
This keeps the face clear and enhances your expression. ◎
Stylishly sweeping the bangs to the side and placing a large hair accessory at the temples adds a fashionable touch.
Recently, fashionable brides are also modernizing neatly styled traditional hair.
They pair it with oversized imported earrings for a modern twist on tradition. ♡
By incorporating traditional elements, they create a bridal appearance brimming with modern trendiness.
Which Traditional Hairstyle Will You Choose? The Allure of a Fluffy Chignon ♡
Next, let's introduce the fluffy chignon hairstyle. A loose, wavy chignon showcases the cuteness of combining traditional Japanese attire with Western hairstyles to the fullest. ♡
It is a popular choice for brides who wish to have a delicate and gentle atmosphere.
A loose chignon works exceptionally well with trending preserved flowers or dried flowers.
It exudes a fleeting and rustic vibe.
The key is to leave plenty of loose strands around the sides and nape and to keep the bun loosely styled and relaxed.
A classic way to style the bangs is to part them 7:3 for a fluffy look. Achieving an airy finish keeps it light and cute. ♡
Compared to neat traditional hair, this gives off a more delicate and girlish atmosphere for brides. ♡
You can also combine unique hair accessories like tulle or ribbons to create a vivid hair arrangement. ♡
Truly, the possibilities for styling are endless*
