Trendy Rapunzel-Inspired Hair Set!
Have you heard of the Rapunzel hairstyle?
It’s a trendy style even among overseas celebrities and actresses, where the hair ends are twisted into curls.
It gives an impression of fashionable and one step above.
The gracefully demure and ladylike atmosphere is charming.
It also has the effect of making your face appear smaller, so it’s a bonus for women.
While Rapunzel is suitable for Western clothing, it’s also perfect for kimono because it shows the back of the neck when the hair is up.
It may seem a bit challenging at first glance, but with the use of a “hair donut,” you can easily achieve this style by yourself. Let me introduce the specific steps.
First, tie your hair into a single ponytail and make a “hair donut” bun. Secure the ends of the hair with a hairband, and then curl them inward from the tips, securing them in several places with hairpins to prevent them from unraveling. Once you get used to it, this style can be done in just a few minutes, making it very convenient.
Additionally, you can add variations to this style. You can try braiding the single ponytail or curling your hair all over before creating the Rapunzel style for a luxurious hair arrangement.
This style is highly recommended for those with semi-long hair or longer.
So far, we’ve introduced various hair arrangement methods. How was it? Please consider trying these easy hair arrangements to make your kimono experience even more enjoyable!
