## Things You Should Know Before Trying It! A Story About My Husband Who Thought My Gold Leaf Hair Looked Like Trash

Recently Popular Gold Leaf Hair

Hello, I'm Nagisa from marry.

The other day, I was staying at a hotel with my husband, and we happened to share an elevator with a woman heading to a wedding.

This woman had her long hair tightly gathered in a low ponytail with a little gold leaf on the side.

I thought it looked cute and trendy, and I mentioned to my husband that I might try gold leaf hair for the next wedding I attend.

It Sparkles, But...??

After getting off the elevator, I said to my husband, "Did you see the hairstyle of the person in front of us in the elevator? She had gold leaf in her hair, and it looked cute! ♥"

He replied, "Oh, that sparkling gold thing was actually gold leaf? It sparkled, but sometimes it looked black or even like trash, so I was wondering what it was." I was shocked by his response.

It's true that gold leaf can appear black depending on the light, but I was surprised that he thought it might be trash...

However, thinking about it, I am aware that gold leaf hair is trending and I often see it on Instagram, so I'm familiar with the hairstyle. But for someone who doesn’t know, they might wonder what it is…?

(I think it also depends on where and how much is used...)

While I often see gold leaf hair on Instagram, it was my first time seeing it in person. When I asked other marry members, who have been invited to several weddings recently, they said, "Now that you mention it, I don't think I've actually seen gold leaf hair before!"

It's true that it has been trending on Instagram for about three years and is a familiar hairstyle, but for an ordinary office worker who isn't a hairstylist or in fashion, they might perceive it as a rare ornament that they don't understand (and worst case, think it's trash).

Now I have gotten used to gold leaf hair and accept it as cute, but I remember the first time I saw it about three years ago (I think it was at a fashion show overseas), and I was with marry members saying, "Look at this post! She has gold leaf in her hair...! Gold leaf soft serve has become popular too, but isn’t it amazing to wear it in your hair??"

It Might Be Better to Choose the Situation for Gold Leaf

For modern women, the gold leaf hair might seem "trendy and sparkly and cute!"

However, since it's not as easily recognizable as accessories like flowers or jewels, men and older people might think, "What is that?" or "Does something stick to her hair?"

It's true that it’s a trending and cute hairstyle; for example,

- If you want to make a good impression at a relative's wedding

- If you don't want to stand out at a colleague’s wedding because of a strict boss

- If you don't want to showcase too much personality in a meeting or engagement with your parents

I thought it might be safer to avoid it in such situations...

But since it is a sparkling and glamorous hairstyle, I want to try it once, knowing that it might raise some questions from men or older people! ♥
