Speaking of Kimono...The classic up-do

Typical Hairstyle for Kimono

Sleek and beautiful hairstyle which suits a kimono best.
Add volume to the top of head, or to the bottom makes completely different impressions.
This style is highly recommended for those who want a cool and chic kimono style. It goes very well with a solid color kimono, or with a simple pattern combined with Nagoya obi belt.

Unwavering Popularity!

Chignon hair continues to be one of the most popular hairstyles for kimono.
It can look even more modern by making the top curly or loose. By adding twists and braids, you can also create uniqueness!
If you are concerned about becoming too cute, try to twist your hair into a braid. If you prefer cute, we would recommend classic braiding. You can bring the braid on the side to give a more adorable look. (^^)

◆Latest Trendy Hair Styles

A big hit on SNS ☆ hair strings and ribbon

Wrapped with hair string is often seen on instagram! It is also popular at the coming of age ceremony!
It gives different impression depending on the length of the hair.
Both of the hair below is gathered at the bottom. However, the left one creates a cute atmosphere by loosening the top, while the right one gives s chic and cool look tying it tight. ☆Especially, wearing mizuhiki will make it much more gorgeous!

Among the string arrangements, raised pony hair is the most popular!
You can notice it gives different feel just by changing the strings and hair ornaments, even for same hair styles. Organdy ribbon and leather string is a very cute combination, and of course, we have ribbon and leather string available. You can choose whatever you like. ♪

No.1 in popularity! Braid Down

Very popular especially for long hair!!
It looks cute with it pulled back as usual. Or if your hair is long enough you can also pull it down to the side, in which cute hair and ornaments will show more in the picture. ♪
You might think “My hair is not long enough for braid down”. However, in many cases it is possible if it reaches your shoulders. Please feel free to consult with us. (^^)
By the way, liberty print kimono and braided hair go together 120%☆! Add lots of dried flowers and pearl pins to create the Rapunzel hair that everyone has wanted to try at least once!

Absolutely adorable! Loose, fluffy bun hair

Bun is different from chignon, but still pretty and charm.
The higher position of the bun enhances the cuteness of the hair. With a bun base, you can add cuteness and glamour by making it even looser and larger. Curl the hair around the face and in a bun to give it a stylish look. ♪
If you are looking for cute and sweet, we would recommend twin bun! By combining the bun with a headdress, headband, or ribbons, you can create an extremely cute and sweet look.☆

The royal road to sweet girls, pigtails!

Pigtails is the most chosen style from customers who chose lace kimono.
Some of you might worry pigtail does not go well with your usual style and clothes even though you have wanted to have it once. Don’t worry and try. It will definitely make you look very cute in kimono!
Leave the top loose, and you can braid it all the way to the ends. Or you can braid it in a rounded shape.
Overall shape of pigtail can be quite different depending on how it is braided. Which you would like better? (*^^)
