I Want to Pair Hairstyles with Traditional Japanese Clothing That Are More Elegant Than Cute ♡
What kind of hairstyle would you like to pair with traditional Japanese clothing?
✅ Casual, loosely tied up hair
✅ Straight hair for a modern look
✅ Incorporating trendy ribbon arrangements
There are various arrangements, but for traditional Japanese clothing, I prefer:
✅ Hair that's neatly tied up without being too loose and fluffy
✅ No loose strands
✅ A subtle trendiness that looks beautiful even 50 years later (or if we went back 50 years)
✅ Not too unique
✅ Showing the nape of the neck
I think a hairstyle that has an elegant atmosphere is wonderful ♡
In this article, I'll introduce traditional Japanese hairstyles that I think are stylish.
I hope this will help brides who share the same thoughts ♩
<①>
A smooth, shell-like chignon hairstyle paired with fresh flowers like Turkish bellflowers.
The petals and gold leaf scattered around the chignon are a highlight ♡
<②>
Long bangs styled to flow back, held in place by small flowers—so cute*
<③>
Adding highlights to the hair creates a three-dimensional effect that's lovely.
When you create a loose updo with many loose strands and match it with dried flowers, it becomes trendier, so let's keep the hair neatly tied up*
<④>
An overall updo hairstyle styled like a night party bun, matched with a bright red flower that complements a red ensemble. A clean nape creates the effect of a slimmer and longer neck ♩
<⑤>
A green color layered kimono with purple flowers. Many people choose bright colors like red or pink for layer kimono and flowers, but a calm color palette like this is also beautiful ♡
<⑥>
Black hair neatly tied up with simple golden hairpins. Transparent earrings are trendy and stylish ♡
Simple styles can look great no matter how many years or decades pass*
<⑦>
Longer bangs parted in the center with dried flowers as decoration. Dried flowers in the same color scheme as the traditional attire are stylish ♡
A well-done center part emphasizes the bride's beauty, and even with dried flowers, it feels less trendy!
<⑧>
A high, neat hairstyle paired with dried flowers.
When taking pre-shoot photos, be sure to take a few pictures before adding flowers ♡
<⑨>
A slightly lower chignon hairstyle adorned with delicate flower hair accessories. The calm colors of the layered kimono evoke a sense of adult charm.
I Want a Hairstyle That Will Always Look Stunning ♡
I introduced a traditional Japanese hairstyle that is neatly tied up without any loose strands*
While hairstyles that match current trends can be cute and stylish, since it might be a commemorative photo that I may show to my grandchildren, I personally think a timeless, classic style that will still be seen as "beautiful" even decades later is better ♩
