Here is the February Cover of the popular Egg Magazine in Japan. Inside are more of the same in regards to Winter Fashion this year in Japan which includes over the knee boots, miniskirts, short dresses, and large gold/silver necklaces. I actually didn’t see anything all that different from the previous couple of issues, however, I did notice one really big thing. More and more of the Japanese models in all of the fashion magazines I acquire are starting to go blonde!! Yes that’s right! Blonde hair on Japanese gals is becoming very popular now. Now since I work around the hair fashion industry here in Japan, I decided to ask around about this. Sure enough, many of the hair stylists claim that newer hair colors have allowed a more natural blonde look for Japanese gals.
I also know that many Japanese gal friends that I’ve known over the years have expressed an interest in one way or another in trying to have blonde hair. However, they were not confident in the hair color “technology” of the time so they elected to wait. I remember when I first came to Japan back in 1993, that many gals had this really bad looking orange hair. At that time, the blonde hair colors at the hair salon were not very good. Now it seems by looking at the Shibuya gals in this months fashion magazines that the blonde hairstyles are looking pretty hot! It’s been long understood by many fashion people that I know that once this blonde hair look becomes perfected, you can expect to see a lot of Japanese girls sporting blonde or a very light colored brown hair.
