Japan hairstyles

Looking through older pictures of women in Japan, you’ll see a theme of hair being pulled back off the face. Often worn in a rolled back way, pinned to create multiple large curls or rolls, while it was a rather simple hairstyle it did not lack style. Most of the time these hairstyles were worn with the hair accessories, combs and or pins specifically, strategically placed throughout the hairstyle. This created a unique hairstyle that took the otherwise simple hair look to a whole new level, which is likely why hair accessories hold such an important place in vintage Japanese hairstyles. Even in our culture today, we know that using accessories is an easy way to take our hair up a notch without the need of actually having to create an elaborate hairstyle.
