Hatsumomo's hair style

[Rentlle]

Hey everybody!

I was cruising youtube for updos and found this (very cute) video. It's not quite Hatsumomo, but it looks like a quick and easy approximation

Just thought I'd pass it on.

My understanding (reading Liza Dalby's ethnography of geisha, before Memoirs came out, inspired me to become an anthropologist-- it's a really interesting book) is that the Maiko (apprentice geisha) develop the bald spots because of one kind of hairstyle, called the "split peach". Full-fledged geisha hairdos don't tug that much, although for every day, they tend to wear their hair in a chignon. These days, as was mentioned, most of them wear wigs when they do the whole trailing hem, white makeup, all-out gigs.

that's a beautiful hairstyle!
I tried it @ once and I like it very much.
but it's quiet damaging for my hair, pull @ it and stuff...
pictures soon in my album

Looks like a small ponytail near the forehead and 3 odango in back. You can puff up the odango by loosening the knot, this will shorten the tails where you need them. Finish it by using a flatiron on the tails for extra shine and smoothing the hair. Add whatever kanzashi you
