Question: How do Japanese women do their hair in the traditional styles?
I'm looking for a guide to how to put my hair up like Sei in Kaze Hikaru or something similar for a cosplay. (I perfer one with pictures)These hairstyles are usually worn with Kimono. Sorry I don't have a link to a pic.
okay I found a pic http://www.immortalgeisha.com/hairstyles_maiko_pics.php#image05
Answer: Most Japanese women cannot do their hair in the traditional styles by themselves. They go to beauty salons and have professional hairdressers do it.
Anyway, I found a "how to do traditional Japanese hairstyles for women" website but is written in Japanese.
