Japanese Traditional Hair Accessories Positioning is Important ♡

The hairstyle that defines the impression of a traditional Japanese wedding outfit.

For traditional Japanese hairstyles, the hair accessories to match are:

☑ Flowers (fresh, dried, artificial, preserved)

☑ Kanzashi (traditional hairpin)

☑ Braids, ribbons

There are various options, but...

Regardless of which accessory you choose, the key is the "positioning of the decoration"!

Traditional Japanese hairstyles typically have a low bun.

However, the impression of the hairstyle varies greatly, depending on the bride, which is due to the individuality expressed in the "accessory × position"!

In this article, we will introduce recommended positions for hair accessories in traditional Japanese hairstyles.

Positioning of Hair Accessories in Traditional Hairstyles ① Left Side of the Bun

The most classic position for accessories is on the left side of the bun.

When the bride and groom stand together, the groom often stands to the bride's right, leading to more shots from the left side of the bride.

Thus, accessories are often positioned on the left side! ♡

A hair arrangement where flowers or kanzashi are adorably placed on the upper left of the bun creates an elegant and mature atmosphere.

This results in a quintessential traditional Japanese hairstyle with a refined impression.

If you want to add a bit of flair, placing a smaller accessory on the right side, slightly smaller than the one on the left, works well!

When decorating both sides, varying the height is key.

It looks vibrant whether viewed from the right or left! ♡

Positioning of Hair Accessories in Traditional Hairstyles ② Above the Bun

Another popular hairstyle is surrounding the bun with flowers or a headpiece.

This creates a vibrant and cute atmosphere from the side profile and back view! ♡

Conversely, from the front, the hair accessories are hardly visible, resulting in a neat impression.

Adorning the top of a low bun with abundant flower parts creates a brightness that rivals a vivid kimono.

The trend is to embellish with plenty of volume! ♡

You'll definitely want to take many shots from the back.

Positioning of Hair Accessories in Traditional Hairstyles ③ Left Side of the Head

Next, we will introduce a hair arrangement where the accessories are placed not on the bun but on the left side of the head.

The charm of this style is that the accessory can be seen from both the side and the front.

This position is recommended for larger headpieces or kanzashi.

By placing the accessory higher than the bun, it enhances the glamour and luxuriousness! ♡

This is a recommended hair arrangement for brides who want an elegant look.

Positioning of Hair Accessories in Traditional Hairstyles ④ Below the Bun

A rare pattern is to place accessories beneath the bun.

If you choose to decorate in this position, large and luxurious flowers like orchids or dahlias are recommended, especially for traditional outfits! ♡

This creates a crisp impression and acts as a strong traditional Japanese bride's look.

An all-up hairstyle for the bangs fits perfectly! ♩

Positioning of Hair Accessories in Traditional Hairstyles ⑤ Scattered

A hair arrangement that scatters hair accessories both on the head and the bun! ♡ The charm of this style is that accessories are visible from all angles, making it vibrant.

Small kanzashi, flower parts, or twisted fabric are recommended for scattering.

It’s also fun to think about what combinations to use.

Scatter artificial hydrangeas into a loose bun hairstyle! ♡ Scattering seasonal flowers is wonderful.

When using the scattering pattern, it looks stylish and avoids clutter if you unify the type—flowers with flowers, kanzashi with kanzashi.

Positioning of Hair Accessories in Traditional Hairstyles ⑥ Around the Temples

An arrangement that places accessories at the temples, just barely covering the forehead, is also stylish.

It is also trendy to adorn the temples with sparkling headpieces in bridal styles that match dresses.

It brightens up the face area, giving a special vibe.

Bringing a uniquely designed hair accessory to the temples enhances the impression of a traditional outfit.

If you're placing a large accessory at the temples, it's important to smooth out the bangs or pull them all up to reveal the forehead.

Positioning of Hair Accessories in Traditional Hairstyles ⑦ Overall Head

Lastly, we introduce a hair arrangement that decorates the entire head with flowers.

This style also has an artistic feel and can create a stylish look ♡, looking like a portrait photo shoot in traditional clothing.

This is a hairstyle that only brides can pull off, so definitely want to try it out!*
