Japanese Hairstyles

Stephen Rampur
When we think of modern or traditional Japanese hairstyles for girls and boys, the first thing that comes to our mind is those made on straight and extremely fine hair...
The primary aspect of the hair of Japanese men and women is that it is extremely straight, soft, silky, and fine; without the possibilities of any tangles.
Since the hair of Japanese people is very fine and straight, in order to try out different types of short hairstyles, medium hairstyles, long haircuts; they have to use curling techniques to make their hair wavy or which can be styled in a variety of patterns.
Bangs are very prominent in Japanese hairstyles. Be it short, medium, or long hair; hairstyles with bangs have to be there. Moreover, since Japanese hair is straight and fine, you can get the most style out on the forehead or the front of your face.

Short Hairstyles

If you want to wear short hairstyles, the best option is to go in for a pixie cut. However, unlike in a traditional pixie haircut, you will have to use your front hair to create long bangs that will suit a Japanese look. This can also be done on the famous bob hairstyle.
As you are working on straight hair, a bob can easily be made without much styling. For those who want to sport a funky look, you can make the bob a bit messy, using hairstyling products.

Cool Hairstyles for Long Hair

The best hairstyle for long hair is to keep the hair relaxed on the shoulders, with fringes on the forehead. Long haircuts are generally worn by Japanese girls, whereas boys mostly choose short hairstyles. Another variation of the relaxed hairstyles is to create curls at the ends of the hair. The curls can be styled either outwards or inwards.
The curls will add a bit of bounce to the naturally straight and fine hair. If you want to create volume on the sides, you can pattern your side hair to become wavy. Those who want to have long hair can even wear a long ponytail and set the hair at the back.

Street Hairstyles

If you are thinking about street hairstyles for men, medium hair is styled in a messy and punky pattern. One of the most common street hairstyles is a spike cut. However, this cut is normally worn on medium hair. Color is another factor that is very popular in street hairstyles.
In order to create a 'bad boy' look, you can spike your hair up and color it in vivid colors. A somewhat traditional Japanese street hairdo is a 'mullet haircut', wherein the hair is short from the front and long at the back.
When it comes to celebrity hairstyles, there are many to choose from, such as a messy look or an updo hairstyle.
Girls can sport an updo, with all or some of the hair styled on the crown. If you want an idea of fashion hairstyles, a good option is to watch the hairdo of the characters in Japanese action cartoons. These hairstyles are colorful, long, wavy, and messy.
If girls want to wear an elegant fashion hairstyle that can be worn to a party, long hair on the sides can be curled and made to be set down below shoulder length.
This was a brief explanation about the variations that can be made on Japanese hairstyles for girls and boys. The main benefit that Japanese people get is their straight and silky natural hair, which is naturally good for hairstyling.
