Japanese Haircuts for Girls

Modern Japanese haircuts are a good option for a girl's cut. Japanese hair is naturally very straight and tends to be coarse in terms of texture and weighty. Japanese girls tend to wear their hair short rather than long as is popular with American girls. Currently, many Japanese girls wear their hair in short sculpted hairdos.

Daringly Demure

Pixy haircut looks so very cute and daring. With its short spikes and random waves, the pixy is a cut that requires the skilled hand of a professional stylist. Naturally curly hair works well with a Pixy cut but even straight hair like Japanese hair can be successfully cut into the style. Using a mousse or gel can help the pixy keep its unpredictable shape and pattern.

Severely Blunt Cut

Japanese culture is on the cutting edge of global trends and that is also true with haircuts. Many Japanese haircuts have flat bangs worn over the brow. The cropped bangs and short bob of a severely blunt cut is a new take on an old Japanese girl classic cut, the China girl.

Today's version may have long, even asymmetrical sides and a shorter length cut to the hair at the neck's nape. It is still a very versatile style for a girl whether worn short on a young girl or Victoria Beckham's style on a teenager.

Big Bang Theory

Very prominent bangs are often seen on Japanese girls. Half of the hair can be taken up with bangs that span from ear to ear. These hair styles tend to be tousled to some degree from a carefree look to a punk rocker with bed head hair. The "theory" in the big bangs in Japanese hairstyles seems to be to wear the back of the hair super short.

Shags

If you have shoulder length hair, you might want to try a sculpted shag hair do. Unlike the big shag worn and popularized by Farrah Fawcett, Japanese girl's shags are thinner replicas with spindly ends achieved by razor thinning instead of Fawcett's big wavy curls that naturally fell into a hairdo admired and copied by millions of women.

Bob Shock

A shoulder length bob with both prominent laying and razor thinned ends is a cut for thick hair. This type of cut like most Japanese haircuts require the skills of a trained and talented cutting specialist.
