Don't Miss Out on Self Hair Styling! Explanation of the Difference Between Cute and Not-So-Cute Bun Twists*

Classic Hair Arrangement: Kururinpa＊

Kururinpa is one of the super simple hair arrangement techniques that most girls can easily do by themselves in this day and age＊

The method is simple: make a hole above the hair tie that binds the hair into a single bundle, loop the ends of the hair through, and tighten the tie.

It is often used when arranging simple hairstyles like low ponytails, half-ups, and buns＊

Explaining the Difference Between Cute and Dorky!

While Kururinpa is a classic hair arrangement, don’t underestimate it just because the method is super easy＊

When you see girls doing self-Kururinpa on Instagram or walking around town...

① Some have a truly cute, fantastic Kururinpa that makes you want to copy it exactly,

② While others have a somewhat dorky, unrefined Kururinpa that lacks that stylish flair.

Of course, everyone aims for the cute Kururinpa and experiments in front of the mirror,

but it’s surprisingly common to think it looks great yourself, only to have skilled hair arrangers see it and feel, “You could improve just a little bit here!”

So this time, I’ll introduce the key features of both cute and dorky Kururinpa that you absolutely need to know.

Use this as a reference for your self-hair arrangements＊

First, what are the characteristics of a dorky Kururinpa?

The characteristics of a dorky Kururinpa are as follows. Do you find any of these points applicable to you...?

☑ Using a hair tie that is a different color from your hair

☑ The hair tie used is too thick

☑ The hair tie is very visible

☑ The position where it is tied is slightly off

☑ The center is split open

☑ The hair has not been loosened at all

And so on.

However, by resolving these dorky points, the path to a cute Kururinpa will open up!♡

Points for a Cute Kururinpa ① Choice of Hair Tie

When making Kururinpa, make sure that the hair tie you use to bind your hair is:

- In the same color family as your hair color

- Not a thick tie but choosing a rubber band

By sticking to this, the hair tie won’t be overly visible and will blend naturally＊

Points for a Cute Kururinpa ② Tie it Slightly Lower

Before you make Kururinpa, you will bind your hair with the hair tie, but it’s important to tie it slightly lower＊

Instead of tying it tightly, the trick is to keep the tie a bit away from the scalp.

Points for a Cute Kururinpa ③ Keep the Hole Minimal

When looping the ends of the hair through, keeping the size of the hole to a minimum is also one of the key points＊

By making the hole smaller, you can prevent the center from splitting open.

If the scalp is still showing through, it is recommended to do Kururinpa at a slight diagonal angle◎

Points for a Cute Kururinpa ④ Loosely Texture the Hair

The final touch to make a cute Kururinpa is to loosely texture the entire hair＊

However, just pulling on the hair randomly is a no-go.

Gently pinch out small sections at set intervals to create a beautifully textured look♡
