For those looking for non-Japanese hairstyles.
This article is written for the following people:
・Tired of trendy hairstyles
・Want a different hairstyle
・Want to get rid of stereotypes and find a hairstyle that really suits you
Why are there so many similar hairstyles in the world?
When looking for a new hairstyle or hair salon, do you look at the Internet, social media, or magazines?
Have you ever felt that there are a lot of similar models and hairstyles there?
One of the reasons is that Japan is a monoethnic country, and more than 90% of the population is Japanese.
In short, most of the races in Japan are the same, and their ways of thinking and values are very similar.
America and European countries are multiethnic countries, and you can see fashion and hairstyles on models of various races on the streets.
There are also people of various nationalities, so each person has their own individuality and is very beautiful.
Below is a summary of how to express your individuality through hairstyles in such a monoethnic country as Japan.
Match it to the contours and shape of your face
Even people of the same country and race have different face sizes and the shapes of their noses, eyes, foreheads, and mouths.
Take Asians for example.
For example, people from the north tend to have soft, slender facial features, while people from the south tend to have more pronounced facial features and a fuller face.
This is not a question of which is better or worse, but rather it is very important to think about whether to make the most of your features, or suppress them to make them less noticeable.
There is a tendency in the world for many people to think about improving their complexes.
Conversely, making the most of your features can sometimes be important in order to make your individuality shine.
Match it to the shape of your head
Asians tend to have square heads with little roundness at the back.
Westerners (Americans and Europeans) tend to have oval heads with a rounded back.
An angular shape like Asians gives the impression of strength, toughness, and cool.
A curved shape like Westerners gives the impression of gentleness, softness, and cuteness.
These have little to do with gender, and how each person presents themselves is important, depending on how they present their head bones.
No matter what shape your head is, it is possible to make it more square or round with a haircut or perm.
Match it to your hair type
Due to the high humidity in Japan, I think many people are worried about their hair type.
This is not because there is a problem with the hair type itself, but because their hair is not easy to manage and they are troubled by not being able to style it properly.
If you get a haircut or perm that matches your hair type and brings out the best in your hairstyle, you often don’t have to straighten your hair.
Why not be a little brave and give up on straightening your hair?
Match it to your body type and height
Did you know that different hairstyles can affect how your body looks?
For example, if you want to look slimmer, medium to long hair is recommended.
On the other hand, if you want to look bigger, short hair is recommended.
If you are short and want to look taller, short hair is recommended.
On the other hand, if you are tall and want to look shorter, long hair is recommended.
This theory makes use of the optical illusion of horizontal and vertical balance.
However,
it is also possible to achieve the opposite by changing the design, color, or perm of your bangs.
I will go into more detail on this in another article.
Match it to your lifestyle
When do you wash your hair with shampoo in your daily life?
Do you use styling products?
Do you use a hair dryer?
Do you tie your hair up?
How you care for your hair can greatly affect your hairstyle.
This is important not only for haircuts, but also for hair coloring, perms, and straightening.
Taka consults with customers on the length of their hair after the haircut, the brightness of their hair color, the strength of the perm waves, and the texture they want after straightening, to ensure that their treatment is easy for everyday care.
Match it to your social status
The hairstyles suggested by hairdressers will vary depending on each person’s place and position in life, such as work, home, school, etc.
It’s important to think together about how you want to look through your hairstyle, according to each person’s social position.
Summary
No matter which salon you go to, you always get the same hairstyle, and because your hair type is like this, you can only get this kind of hairstyle. Do you think so?
Hairdresser Taka has experience working with customers of various races and nationalities in London, and he examines customers from various angles and makes suggestions.
I would be happy to help you make new discoveries without being bound by common sense or stereotypes.
Thank you for reading to the end.
