Not Fluffy, But Elegant: Japanese Bridal Hairstyles for White and Color Kimonos ♡

What Hair Arrangements Go Well with Traditional Japanese Clothing?

While a fluffy hairstyle that can also complement a wedding dress is cute...

Personally, I prefer hairstyles for traditional attire that are neatly gathered with a moist and shiny finish without too much hair being let out. ♡

Fluffy hairstyles have a trendy feel, but elegant and smooth hairstyles are the kind that you'll still find "lovely" even decades later.

In this article, I will introduce elegant hairstyles that are neatly gathered for traditional clothing. Brides wearing shiromuku, iro-uchikake, or hikifurisode should take note.

Classics Over Trends ♡

I introduced neat and elegant hairstyles for traditional clothing instead of fluffy ones.

Both trendy and classic styles are lovely, making it hard to choose. However, it might be good to think about whether "you'll still think the bride is beautiful decades from now" when deciding.

I hope you find a favorite hairstyle that will allow you to greet the day with a smile.＊
