Perfect Hairstyles for Kimono: Hair Arrangement Ideas for Your Asakusa Rental Day
Recommended Hairstyles Based on Hair Length
The hairstyles you can achieve depend on the length of your hair. Let’s introduce the perfect hairstyle for each hair type that complements your kimono.
Short Hair
If you have short hair, there are still great options for kimono hairstyles.
Short hair can be a bit challenging to style into an updo. Using accessories like hairpins or headbands is recommended.
If you have bangs, simply lifting your hair or securing it with decorative hairpins can change your look significantly.
The key is to use larger hair accessories that match the pattern and colors of your kimono. Adding a prominent accessory can instantly brighten up your face.
Consider trying braided styles as well. You can take a moderate amount of hair, create a simple braid, and secure it with pins or accessories.
Even if you’re not usually particular about your hairstyle, adding some volume for a soft and airy look is also a great option.
Medium Hair
Medium-length hair offers versatility in styling. You can opt for elegant updos, half-up hairstyles, or even leave your hair down with soft curls.
Consider the overall look you want to achieve with your kimono and choose a hairstyle that complements it.
Medium-length hair offers some styling options but can be limited, especially for shorter bob haircuts.
If you’re unsure about how to style your hair with this in-between length, consider half-updos or twisted hairstyles that work regardless of length.
Styling just your bangs can also look fashionable. Creating a braid and sweeping it to the opposite side is a cute option.
Using hairpins or accessories can make styling easier. You can even create small buns.
Long Hair
With long hair, you have numerous options to create stunning kimono hairstyles. You can go for elaborate updos, intricate braids, or let your hair flow naturally.
Long hair allows for creative styling, so take advantage of it to enhance your kimono ensemble.
For those with long hair, it’s recommended to tie your hair up when wearing a kimono.
There are plenty of hairstyles to choose from, such as buns, braids, and other updos.
Try to keep your hair up and make sure your nape is visible when wearing a kimono.
If you want a neat and tidy updo, consider incorporating braids. Take a section of hair, braid it, and secure it in the middle with pins to create a bun-like effect.
The braided section will be the center of your updo.
If you have long hair, you can create a hairstyle resembling a chignon rather than a bun on top of your head.
Take small sections of hair from the sides, just enough to cover the braided bun, and secure them on the opposite side with pins.
Once all your hair is gathered and secured, you’ll have a neat and tidy hairstyle.
