Traditional Japanese Hair: How to Style Bangs?

When it comes to wearing traditional Japanese clothing for pre-wedding photos or renewal of vows, hair styling is just as important as the kimono.

Not only should the hairstyle match the white wedding kimono or colored uchikake, but it should also showcase a different impression for the bride with a style unlike Western clothing.♡

A common concern when considering traditional Japanese hair is how to style the bangs.

While there are many photos of back hairstyles on social media, there are fewer photos from the front, making it difficult to decide on the best bangs.

However, since this is a once-in-a-lifetime event, I want to wear a stylish bangs hairstyle that is both different from my everyday look and my dress style for my traditional Japanese wedding attire!

Therefore, in this article, I've gathered images of brides in traditional Japanese clothing with easy-to-understand bang arrangements.♡

Approach your traditional photoshoot or renewal of vows with stylish bangs that are different from your usual self! ♩

Stylish Traditional Japanese Bang Style 1: Neat Center-Parted Bangs

The first bang style I will introduce is a neat center-parted arrangement.

This hairstyle pairs perfectly with straight hair styled sleekly rather than loose and fluffy, giving a dignified traditional Japanese hairstyle.

It's a classical impression that respects tradition, making it a great choice for those who love the vibe of traditional Japanese hairstyles.

Recently, there seems to be an increase in styling center-parted hair complemented with dried flowers or bouquets for a chic, rustic finish.

Center-parted bangs give a sharp, sophisticated impression of an adult woman.

If you can pull off a fluffy wedding dress, you might consider changing the atmosphere completely with traditional attire to create a delightful contrast!♡

It's rare to see a traditional Japanese ponytail paired with center-parted bangs.

Neat center-parted bangs are a versatile bang style suitable for both classic and unique styles.

Stylish Traditional Japanese Bang Style 2: Relaxed, Fluffy Back Bangs

Next, we have relaxed and fluffy back bangs that create an airy atmosphere for the traditional Japanese bride.

The fresh look of the forehead and the softly lifted bangs create a lovely balance.

It’s common to adorn the temples with fresh flowers or preserved flowers.

The stronger the curls or waves in the bangs, the more casual and fluffy the impression.

It's fluffy yet elegant with no fringes, showcasing a neat look.♡

An all-back style where bangs are not visible is also recommended for brides wearing a cotton hood.

It looks as if you are wearing a cotton hood over a traditional hairstyle.

If you want to wear kimono in a modern way, pair the fluffy all-back with chic hair accessories.

Without bangs falling on your forehead, you can beautifully showcase your profile or a lowered gaze.♡

The relaxed all-back also complements contemporary adaptations of traditional hairstyles.♡

If you're used to having bangs, why not try an all-back hairstyle when wearing traditional attire?

You might discover a new side of yourself! ♡

Stylish Traditional Japanese Bang Style 3: One-Curl, See-Through Bangs

Next is an arrangement that gives a natural and girly vibe.

With bangs styled in a one-curl that gently reveals the forehead, this see-through bang style is effective.

The length should just brush the eyebrows, avoiding a heavy look, making it the classic choice.

Since it hides the forehead, it provides a face-slimming effect.♡

This creates a trendy mix of traditional and modern fashion.

The key is to ensure that the bangs do not look flat but maintain a fluffy and airy finish.

A loose and fluffy updo is standard for back styles, but this versatile style also pairs well with neatly styled hair. ♩

Stylish Traditional Japanese Bang Style 4: Side Bangs

Many people may already wear side bangs.

The way you part them—whether 7:3, 8:2, or 9:1—can change the overall impression, so find the ratio you love.

To maintain a mature look with side bangs, eliminate any side fringes.

Conversely, if you'd like a more adorable look, let some wavy fringes hang loose.

A popular style involves bold hair accessories or flowers adorned on the side opposite to where the bangs flow.

Stylish Traditional Japanese Bang Style 5: Messy Bangs

For those who want a relaxed and trendy look, “messy bangs” that fall over the eyes are perfect.

The deliberately lengthened bangs that sway gently create a feminine impression.

Finishing with a wet look texture enhances the adult charm.♡

Stylish Traditional Japanese Bang Style 6: Short Bangs

If you want to enjoy a unique traditional outfit, short bangs that sit just above the eyebrows are highly recommended!

The combination of traditional attire and short bangs instantly creates a distinctive styling from others.

Brides with short bangs often have an eye for matching hair accessories and earrings!♡

Short bangs can create a striking impression depending on your makeup.

If you're usually rocking short hair, consider cutting your bangs shorter for an incredibly stylish bridal look! ♡

Stylish Traditional Japanese Bang Style 7: Pompadour

This bang arrangement creates a pop and vibrant impression with a pompadour style.

It pairs perfectly with a top bun styled on the head.

A few playful strands peeking out from the pompadour add cuteness to the look.♡

Stylish Traditional Japanese Bang Style 8: Finger Waves

Finally, we introduce the finger wave, which is said will be trending soon!

This retro-inspired bang style evokes the glamour of classic actress looks.

It’s a bang style particularly suited for black-haired brides to try.

Finger waves can be adorned with gold leaf or pinned for a unique arrangement, making them a perfect match too!

In addition, variations that feature a few see-through bangs dangling down are also emerging.

With the revival of finger waves, it seems we will see more brides incorporating this style with traditional attire!♡
