What kind of summer memories will you make wearing a yukata this year? As July approaches, you'll probably start seeing more and more yukatas while shopping. Am I the only one who can't help but stop and take a look?
There are many ways to enjoy summer, but in recent years, there's even a term called "instaworthy" that refers to posting memories on Instagram and getting lots of "likes." This time, we'll be looking at short hair!! We'll be introducing some cute styling ideas that will make your yukata look stand out, as well as some easy hairstyles you can do yourself!!
Can I style my hair even if it's short?
Do you think that you can't style your hair just because you have short hair?
It's true that long hair offers more styling options, but even short hair can be styled in a cute way that will make your yukata look stand out with just a little tweaking! There are also easy hairstyles for those who can't braid or weave their hair. We'll introduce some easy hairstyles that will make your yukata look even more gorgeous!!!
1. Create a gorgeous arrangement with large floral decorations
If you want to look sophisticated and sleek but are not good at styling your hair, this is a must-see! We will introduce you to a simple hairstyle that can be done in just 3 minutes.
First, apply styling product to the roots and bangs. Using gel or similar to create a glossy look will give it a wet-looking, slightly sexy look! Create an 8:2 part from the bangs, twist the bangs in the 8 section a few times, and secure with a pin. Add a large flower decoration to the pinned section to complete the look. It also looks cute with wavy or flipped curls! You can also create an elegant look by twisting and securing the nape of your neck (behind your ears) instead of the bangs.
2. Easy hairstyles: just add a hairpin!
Short hair styles can easily be styled with hair pins, even if they tend to get boring! This is a great way to style your hair not only for yukata but also for busy mornings.
First, tuck one side of your hair behind your ear. Take the hair from the part on the side that you've tucked behind your ear and twist it towards the back of your ear. If you pin it behind your ear, it will stay in place! Place a hairpin between your part and your ear and you're done! It's cute to use several pins, and crossing the pins will give it a different look! This is easy and hard to mess up, so even if you have short hair, give it a try!
3. A must-see for those who are clumsy! Hair styling with a twist
This is a must-see for those who are not good at braiding or weaving! You can enjoy a gorgeous hairstyle by creating a place to wear a hairpin with a simple twist.
First, tie the section of hair you want to attach the kanzashi to together. Divide the middle of the tied section into two and put the ends of the hair from the top into the parting and turn it inside out. While holding the knot, pull out the top section to adjust the volume. Attach the kanzashi to the twisted part and you're done! We recommend repeating this twist several times to make it look more elaborate!
4. A hot topic! Yukata Messy Bun! Advanced Arrangement with Majeste
Have you heard of the hotly talked about messy bangs?
It means "messy bun" and has become a hot topic overseas, becoming popular as a hairstyle for weddings and other occasions. If you have long hair, you can create a high bun, but this messy bun can be placed anywhere! What's more, all you need is a hair tie!
First, apply wax to the surface and ends of your hair. Then, gather your hair into a single strand at the back of your head. The key here is to add volume and create a loose feel without pinning it down too tightly. Wrap the remaining hair around a rubber band and you're done! You can leave some loose strands to create a stylish look if you like. Try using the popular Majeste on the part of your hair that you've tied up for a slightly more advanced look!
