Famous Japanese Hairstyles for Girls

Japanese hairstyles for girls are somewhat similar to punk styles in America, using sharp angles, distinctive bangs and bright colors to emphasize the hairstyle. Although the base color can range from platinum blonde to chestnut brown, the most famous base color has always been jet black. The bold color compliments the equally bold style, and the two go hand in hand when creating a famous Japanese hairstyle.
 

Bold Color

No matter what the chosen hair color for your Japanese hairstyle is, make sure to keep on top of touchups to ensure the color stays bold and bright. If your hair is naturally black, try using an herbal rinse to make your natural color richer. If you dye your hair black, always use a dye that is blue based rather than red based---blue-based dyes achieve the blackest of black. Adding streaks of neon color is very popular and can be achieved easily by using clip-on extensions. If you want to take the plunge and permanently dye a color streak in your hair, you must bleach out all the black before adding the color.
 

Japanese Bangs

One of the signatures of famous Japanese hairstyles are the distinctive bangs, whether blunt cut or long and swept to the side. Another variety is to have uneven blunt bangs, where the bangs are quite short on one end of the forehead and gradually get longer as they go across, making a sort of diagonal effect. You can also choose to have two long strands of hair frame the face, parted in the middle and separated from the rest of the hairstyle.

Short Japanese Hairstyles
Short Japanese hairstyles are often spiked or styled messily, emphasizing the punk influence and creating a fun and edgy look. The style often sports many layers of all lengths, straightened before tousled or spiked into whatever direction the wearer chooses. Make sure to use a hair wax or pomade so that the layers stay separated and emphasized
 

Medium Japanese Hairstyles
Medium Japanese hairstyles can either be worn classically or with edge. Classic looks can include layers, but the style appears very soft and is straightened or worn wavy, usually without bright colors or hair accessories. The layers help add volume, and can also be styled to look edgy by using a flat iron to flip the layers outward. Make sure to use some hair spray to keep the volume the layers create. Adding brightly colored ribbons or hair clips can top off the look and add flair.
 

Long Japanese Hairstyles
The most famous way to wear long Japanese hairstyles is to have long blunt bangs combined with wavy or slightly curled ends. Another very famous way to style the hair would be to secure two high pigtails and straighten them. You can create a single curlicue at the very end of the pigtails if you wish, and tying matching ribbons over each hair tie works beautifully with the style. If you want to wear your hair up, secure with a pretty Japanese hair stick set or even a hair ornament.
