Modern Japanese Hairstyle ① A Short Style with Playful Ends Using Japanese Materials for Volume
For brides aiming for a sophisticated yet not overly sweet finish, an advanced hairstyle achieved solely through styling is recommended.
A headpiece made with plenty of obi fabric pairs well with a nuance hairstyle that mixes curls and waves.
Modern Japanese Hairstyle ② The Allure of Straight Lines in Kimonos and Hair: A Bob Style
To complement a classical colored uchikake, a retro and feminine bob arrangement is ideal.
Curling the ends and creating side waves akin to finger waves emphasizes femininity even more. This style is also easily accessible for those with long hair.
Modern Japanese Hairstyle ③ A Mature Luscious Hair Style Highlighted by a Veil's Silhouette
This advanced style features a strong visual impact while maintaining an impression of sophistication with hair twisted tightly at the front and sides to gather the whole look.
By softly fitting an eye-catching red veil, the simplicity stands out, enhancing the makeup beautifully.
Modern Japanese Hairstyle ④ A Classy and Softly Gathered Night Party Style
This simple yet elegant style is created by gathering hair from the back and sides into an all-back style.
The key is not to make it too tight, but to keep it soft. Starting with a neat night party updo, finish with delicate makeup and dainty headpieces for a traditional yet elegant impression.
Modern Japanese Hairstyle ⑤ An Asymmetrical Style with Plenty of Flowers as the Main Attraction
A natural impression comes from the exquisite balance of color combinations. Green and white evoke a sense of nature, don't they?
By twisting the hair gathered at the top and connecting it to the side, it creates a sense of movement within the simplicity. The color coordination of fresh flowers and accessories is also essential for a fresh makeup balance.
Modern Japanese Hairstyle ⑥ Pink Flowers That Draw Attention! A Pure Style with Coordinated Curls
The appropriate luster in the hair transforms both the bride and the texture of the kimono. Apply cream or oil throughout to add shine while slightly loosening the hair for a relaxed feel. Once gathered low, form a small bun and use a comb to arrange the texture and roundness, incorporating the flowers.
The impression of being adorably grown-up comes from balancing colors and textures effectively.
Modern Japanese Hairstyle ⑦ A Bold Bun Style with Colorful Accents That Captivates Guests
To catch the attention of guests, try bold color play with your kimono, hair, and makeup.
Enjoy expressive flowers in your hair; choosing materials can be a fun and creative process.
Modern Japanese Hairstyle ⑧ A Mix Style Adding Relaxed Vibes to Traditional Japanese Hair
A classic style can be made cute for the modern bride by adding a relaxed finish to the ends of the front and top hair.
By experimenting with various styles, you are likely to find a Japanese hairdo and headpiece that suit you well. If you can’t find it on your own, seeking advice from a professional is also recommended.
