Modern White Kimono Style: Recommended Bride Hair Coordination with Western Hair and Cotton Hood!

What Kind of Hairstyle Goes Inside a Cotton Hood?

The Shimmering White Wedding Kimono Worn Only at Shinto and Buddhist Ceremonies

When it comes to the headpiece that matches the white wedding kimono, the large round cotton hood (wataboushi) is a classic choice.

As for the hairstyle under the cotton hood, it generally splits into two main arrangements:

① Wearing a wig styled as traditional Japanese hair

② Having your own hair styled into traditional Japanese hair

Both options are splendid and refined hairstyles that evoke a sense of old-fashioned tradition.

Modern! Cute Combination of Western Hair and Cotton Hood ♡

However, there are many brides who think like this:

☑ "I want to coordinate a white wedding kimono with a cotton hood, but I’m not sure if traditional Japanese hairstyles suit me and I'm anxious."

☑ "I want to wear a cotton hood while creating a trendy and stylish atmosphere."

If you relate to either of these, I recommend the modern cute combination of Western hair and a cotton hood ♡

Western hair paired with a cotton hood does not convey the rigid and solemn image of traditional Japanese hair.

Instead, it maintains a neat appearance while allowing for cuteness, softness, and a casual touch ♡

It's also nice that you can show off a softly styled bridal hairstyle peeking out.

Therefore, today I’ll introduce three key points for coordinating Western hair with a cotton hood.

Point ① You Can Create Bangs = Covering the Forehead ♡

Traditionally, the cotton hood was paired with Japanese hairstyles that pulled the bangs up, exposing the forehead.

However, when combined with Western hair, it’s perfectly fine to leave the bangs down ♩

This is a very appealing point for brides who would prefer not to show their forehead!

Showing bangs creates a casual and gentle impression ♡

Point ② You Can Have Loose Strands of Hair ♡

Like this bride, being able to have loose strands of hair is a unique point of the Western hair and cotton hood combination ♩

Curled loose strands serve as a lovely accent, making the overall look very stylish ♡

Despite being a traditional combination of white wedding kimono and cotton hood, it gives off a modern vibe ◎

Point ③ You Can Show Off Hair Accessories ♡

The final point for coordinating Western hair with a cotton hood is that you can showcase hair accessories placed near the ears ♡

It’s delightful to subtly highlight the carefully chosen hair ornaments through the gaps in the cotton hood.

A larger headpiece is key to achieving a glamorous look ♩

If You Wear a White Wedding Kimono, Western Hair with a Cotton Hood is Wonderful ♡

For brides having a Shinto or Buddhist ceremony and those wearing a white wedding kimono for a photo shoot, I presented the recommended coordination of Western hair with a cotton hood ♡

The key point is that it maintains the traditional Japanese ambiance while allowing the bride to appear stylish and adorable.

Brides who are wearing a white wedding kimono should definitely consider this combination!
