8 Classic Hairstyles That Perfectly Match Yukata Rental in Asakusa

Since you’re wearing a yukata in Asakusa, you’d want a hairstyle that complements it!

However, since yukata is something you don’t wear often, you might find it challenging to decide what kind of hairstyle would be best when the time comes.

So this time, we have compiled classic hair sets that are suitable for Asakusa yukata rentals that you can do by yourself.

Here are the plans at Rikawafuku Kimono Asakusa Store that include hair sets with kimono rentals:

Classic Hair Set for Yukata – Low Bun

A low bun style, where you gather your hair at a lower position, is a recommended hairstyle that complements yukata, perfect for adult women.

By loosely gathering and leaving some strands for a natural look, you can add subtle elegance to your yukata ensemble.

You can easily achieve this hairstyle on your own by loosely braiding your hair and securing it in a low bun, adding hair accessories to complete the look. Plus, you have various styling options, such as twisting or keeping it loose.

Depending on the hair accessories you choose, you can easily change the impression, whether it’s a calm atmosphere or a more glamorous look.

If you’re not confident in creating braids or a bun, you can use a hair arrangement stick for an effortless and secure low bun hairstyle.

1. Take the half-up portion of your hair and make a loop.
2. Braid the looped hair loosely.
3. Insert the end of the braid without the loop into the loop, creating a knot.
4. Pull the lower part of the arrangement stick to tuck the end of the braid into the loop.

• Secure any loose ends with pins.
• Complete the look by adding your favorite hair accessory.

Classic Hair Set for Yukata – Upward Glance

Recently, upward hairstyles are also gaining popularity, with high buns being a classic choice. By slightly disheveling the high bun, you can achieve a casual yet sophisticated look that complements yukata.

1. Gather all your hair and twist it upward at a high position.
2. Create a bun and secure it with a hair tie.

With just these steps, you can achieve a casually loose twisted updo that perfectly complements your yukata.

Classic Hair Set for Yukata – Buns

A low bun created at a lower position is both easy to do and has a traditional Japanese feel, making it a perfect match for yukata!

1. Lightly curl the base of your hair.
2. Tie your hair into a low bun at the nape of your neck.
3. For the final wrap of the hair tie, don’t pull the hair all the way through, leaving a loop.
4. Divide the tips of your hair into two sections.
5. Twist the two divided hair sections a few times and bring them together into one.
6. Wrap the combined hair around the base, covering the hair tie, to create the bun.
7. Secure the base of the bun with pins.

While this hairstyle requires a bit of effort, curling the base of your hair initially ensures that the bun looks loose but not messy, and it stays secure throughout the day.

Classic Hair Set for Yukata – Twists

For a side arrangement that complements your yukata, you can create a stylish look with this classic hair set.

1. Divide your hair into two sections.
2. Take one section of hair and twist it gently towards the back, securing it with a hairpin.
3. Repeat the same with the other section, twisting it in the opposite direction.
4. Add a decorative hairpin or accessory to complete the look.

This side arrangement is a simple yet elegant choice that enhances the overall appearance of your yukata.

Classic Hair Set for Yukata – Braided-Look Arrangement

This braided-look arrangement is a perfect choice for a kimono rental in Kyoto, as it appears intricate yet is easy to create.

For those who find traditional braiding challenging, this alternative is highly recommended.

1. Lightly curl the base of your hair.
2. Leave a bit of extra hair on both sides and tie the rest into a low ponytail at the back.
3. Take the side hair sections (bangs) and twist them towards the front, securing them with pins.
4. After twisting them a few times, cross the hair sections like a rope, going left and right.
5. Once you’ve crossed the sections down to the tips, temporarily secure them with pins to prevent unraveling.
6. Repeat the same process on the other side.
7. Wrap the remaining hair from both sides around the base of the initial ponytail, securing it with pins.

By following these steps, you’ll achieve a beautiful rope braid hairstyle that perfectly complements your yukata.

Classic Hair Set for Yukata – Twisted Bun

For a stylish twisted bun that complements your yukata, follow these steps:

1. Lightly curl the base of your hair.
2. Divide your hair into two sections, leaving more hair on one side (front) and less on the other (back).
3. Twist the front section towards the back.
4. Wrap the twisted hair around the base and secure it with pins.
5. Take the remaining hair from the back section and wrap it around the twisted bun, concealing the pins.

This twisted bun adds an elegant touch to your yukata hairstyle.

For a cute and simple hairstyle that pairs well with your yukata, consider this side arrangement with a twist.

1. Take a small section of hair near your ears and tie it with a hair elastic.
2. Create a loose twist and secure it with pins after wrapping it once, then slightly loosen it for added dimension.
3. Complete the look by adding hair accessories to conceal the elastic.

If you prefer not to use a twist, you can also secure your hair behind the ears with an attractive hairpin. If time allows, curling the base of your hair before styling adds an extra touch of elegance that complements your yukata.

Classic Hair Set for Yukata – Braided-Look Arrangement

Braids are a classic choice for yukata hairstyles, but they can be challenging to create. If you’re looking for a simpler alternative that mimics a braided look, consider this easy braided-style arrangement using only twists:

1. Curl the base of your hair before leaving some loose strands at the sides and tying the rest into a low ponytail at the back.
2. Start twisting your ponytail, then shift the elastic towards the hair tips and change the position where you separate the hair for each twist.
3. Repeat this process until you reach the hair tips.
4. Adjust the balance and pull out some strands of hair in various places for a finished look.

By tying the hair at the sides, you can achieve a casual braided-style arrangement that adds a touch of sophistication to your yukata. Since some strands of hair will be visible from the front, choosing the right hair accessories is crucial for this style.

Classic Hair Set for Yukata – Twisted Bun

In this article, we’ve introduced hairstyles using techniques like the “kururinpa” and twists, which are easy for those who might not be very skilled at hair styling.

If you find creating “kururinpa” or twists challenging, don’t worry! A simple one-point tie with stylish hair accessories, such as “majestic” (Japanese hairpins), can create a perfect hairstyle to complement your yukata.

However, since you’re wearing a yukata, why not take the opportunity to challenge yourself with a slightly more intricate hairstyle? Even with simple styling, choosing hair accessories with a traditional Japanese feel can instantly enhance your yukata look.

If you’re feeling creative, you can combine different styles, like continuous “kururinpa” or a Gibson tuck-style “kururinpa,” to achieve a variety of stunning looks. Be sure to experiment with various hairstyles to find the one that suits you best!

One key to achieving a beautiful “kururinpa” is to curl your hair lightly before starting the hairstyle. Especially for those with straight and silky hair, pre-curling your hair will help maintain the shape of the “kururinpa.”
