JAPANESE TRADITIONAL HAIR DESIGNS  

 

Nihongami is a traditional Japanese women's hairstyle mainly from Azuchi-Momoyama period (1568 to 1603) to the end of the Edo period (1603-1868). Today the hairstyle is most often seen with maiko (geisha apprentices) and for special events such as a wedding and New Year's celebrations. Nihongami typically consists of four parts with its hair volumized front, sides and back. It requires long hair carefully combed to tie the top-knot together with special hair wax, called bintsuke. Kanzashi, special hair ornaments, usually add the finishing touch to this hairstyle. Nihongami uses only Motoyui, a string made of paper and in a very special way.

Nowadays there is another way to set up Nihongami,which uses your hair with hair gum and pin. It's called 'Shin-Nihongami'. It is easy to try how it looks like with Japanese traditional hair!

Very gorgeous!
