Japanese Hairstyle that Says "Be Yourself♡" is Now Common Sense for Fashionable Brides.
Hello! I am Natsuko, the producer at 'CUCURU', a bridal kimono specialty store in Aoyama. Every day, many brides who wish to look cute in traditional Japanese attire visit CUCURU from all over the country.
The secret to our popularity lies in the original head accessories created by our in-house hair and makeup artist 'NITA', tailored to complement the brides' kimonos.*
Since NITA is a hair and makeup artist rather than just a kimono stylist, she considers not only the balance with the kimono but also how to present it on the day, creating hair accessories that capture the hearts of the brides and their guests alike.♡
In this article, I will introduce popular Japanese hairstyles created by NITA using CUCURU's original head dresses.

Recommended Japanese Hairstyle by CUCURU ① New Nihon-Gami Style Using Bijou Kanzashi♡
The bijou kanzashi, created by combining parts sourced from overseas, is an excellent head dress that illuminates the face with every movement. It satisfies women's hearts who want to include bijou in their traditional clothing. (Rental item)
Recommended Japanese Hairstyle by CUCURU ② Sweet and Spicy Mixed Style Using Black Twisted Ribbon and Veil♡
What kind of head dress should be paired with a gorgeous colored uchikake? It’s all about head accessories that impress with movement rather than color.
If you try to match colors with a bright kimono, it can draw too much attention to the head dress rather than the kimono itself. For a colorful kimono, pairing it with a subdued birdcage veil will create a mature yet cute sweet and spicy bride look.
Recommended Japanese Hairstyle by CUCURU ③ Best Casual Red Square Veil Style♡
For a cute and colorful kimono, add an even cuter red square veil. Just adding a dynamic square veil to a neatly styled hairdo makes it so photogenic!
This veil, which looks incredible even when paired with a white ceremonial kimono, looks wonderful when combined with flowers as well.

If you want a down style with a kimono, we propose a down style using a furisode with art flowers.
The minimal volume of the kimono allows for a balanced coordination. It’s a style we definitely recommend trying!
Recommended Japanese Hairstyle by CUCURU ⑤ Adult Cute Style with Face-Slimming Effect Using Antique Bijou and Kumihimo Flowers♡
For an adult-colored uchikake with intricate hand embroidery, we designed a head dress that conforms to the head shape while still being sizable.
Bringing it closer to the face provides a fantastic face-slimming effect! The way it sways around the face will surely receive rave reviews not just from your beloved but also from your guests.
In this photo, it’s used with a new nihon-gami style, but it’s also a versatile head dress that works well with loose styles or dress styles too! (Rental item)

At CUCURU, we offer original art flower head dresses for brides who want to use the same head dress for both pre-shoots and the big day.
For a classic style, using flowers that conform to the head highlights the wave style while giving it an impactful look.

Recommended Japanese Hairstyle by CUCURU ⑨ Loose Updo with White Feather Flowers and White Feather Square Veil♡
For a fresh look, pair a white collar and feminine purple kimono with a loose updo that is not overly structured. Wearing a square veil with white feather flowers placed deep accentuates the ensemble.
The veil has been chosen carefully to not overshadow facial expressions in photographs, ensuring worry-free on the day itself.
NITA, the in-house hair and makeup artist at Cucuru, has poured her desire to make brides look cute into this style, which is particularly popular among those choosing furisode kimonos.☆

Recommended Japanese Hairstyle by CUCURU ⑪ Fluffy Loose Style Using Large Ribbon and Veil♡
For a unique kimono, we matched it with a fluffy loose hairstyle that adds volume. The big ribbon and veil add the spicy touch. The ribbon and veil are designed to be independent, allowing you to use them birdcage-style or scrunched up at the base of the ribbon.
Many brides purchase this combination to match with their dresses.☆
Recommended Japanese Hairstyle by CUCURU ⑫ Recent-inspired Updo with White Flowers and White Feather Birdcage♡
A recommended head dress for the white ceremonial kimono! The birdcage made with fine tulle features white flowers and feathers.
The elegant tulle allows for a deliberate recent-inspired updo, creating a subtractive effect. Showing up with such a wonderful head dress will certainly surprise your guests!
Recommended Japanese Hairstyle by CUCURU ⑬ Bob-like Fluffy Updo Created with Flowers♡
For a kimono reminiscent of artwork, adopt a bob-like fluffy updo. The head dress, which is the most popular, is an art flower head dress custom-made by hair and makeup artist NITA.
The subtle adjustments in flower color based on the color theme of the collar and other accessories are part of its charm.
