Japanese culture is rich in many elements. But something is catching the attention of young people all over the world, and we're not talking about sushi: hair. Kawaii hairstyles are the new craze and have been around for a while, but have never been more in evidence.

It's no secret that japinhas love colors. They were the first to invest heavily in accessories for nail art, they love colorful hair and now they want to mix cuts and trends to create what fashion calls Kawaii hairstyles.

If you are one of those readers with a need to understand the origin of everything, you will love to know that the origin of the name of Kawaii hairstyles makes perfect sense to understand the style.

Kawaii is a Japanese language adjective for "cute", "adorable", "cute" and related terms. The term is part of the popular language of young Japanese people when they find something fashionable with an angelic and delicate touch, just like Kawaii hairstyles.

When was it first used? This is not known for sure. The style, however, began to be noticed in street wear more than five years ago and every now and then appears as an agenda in hair design magazines.

The majority age group for Kawaii hairstyles is between 15 and 25 years old. But taking a look at the photos you can see how cool it is to innovate at least for a day and enjoy this extravagant look, don't you think? At least by experiment.

Inspiration for creating Kawaii hairstyles comes from pop culture, specifically from anime and manga. The characters are diverse, from Sakura Card Captors to Mirai of The Future. How to create yours? Following some inspirations below.

Japanese women are not very fond of the Joãozinho cut, a nickname given to the very short strands at the back of the neck. They make the “modern chanel” style with a medium height, very close to nude.

Color has always been a thing for the Japanese. In anime, you can see that pink and blue hair is common among characters. Young women inspired by their favorite characters logically tend to copy the style! There is no shortage of girls with purple, blue, lilac and other shades of hair on the eastern streets.

When you don't want to stray too far from the traditional and the good girl look, hairstyles make use of barrettes. Maria Chiquinha, for example, gets a reinterpretation in extremely smooth threads.

The side bun with Maria Chiquinha is a Japanese style combination that girls love. Inspiration comes from some world famous characters like Sakura.

Simple kawaii hairstyle to do with two barrettes for those with bangs.

For curly hair

Curly hair has the advantage of shaping better into kawaii hairstyles. A quick brushing (or the use of a flat iron) and they are straight and naturally with waves are even cooler for different hairstyles.

If you thought that kawaii hairstyles were a teenager thing, you were wrong, huh? There are fans of the extravagant look from all age groups. At the beginning of the article, a range of up to 25 years was determined for fans of the style, but many ladies have already shown their “colorful girl” look around.

Makeup is also part of this complete look. The skin receives even more treatment to assume an Asian white tone (almost yellowish). In the mouth red or pink lips.

Very light pink hair unfortunately needs bleaching. The color falls off quickly and maintenance should take place every 30 or a maximum of 40 days.

For School / Day to Day

Kawaii hairstyles are not just for parties and events, you know? The Japanese use it in everyday life! They go to school with colorful strands and shocking diadems (some even light up!) and compete with each other to see who gets the most attention.
