Look at this luxuriousness...! The method of decorating hair with multiple small round temari balls is truly amazing ♡ A bob hairstyle also looks beautifully Japanese, and the nine temari balls piled on top create a splendid look!＊

Temari hair accessories also suit the classic chignon hairstyle perfectly ♡ Wearing various sizes of temari and pom pom mum flowers adds a cute touch with their bumpy surface! It’s rare and a great point not to clash with others.＊
