They like big buns

You could devote your life to an analysis of Japanese hairstyles, and spend just as much time documenting the male variations as the female ones. Today, let's just focus on the two most common trends among young women: dyed hair and gigantic ballerina buns. The girls here are usually blessed with masses of long, dark hair. Most of them are decidedly not the shower and go type, harnessing the power of countless products and accessories to create follicular structures that will withstand their commutes and long school days. Their foreheads are often adored with blunt bangs, framed on either side by thin sections that are longer, and wispier. As for experimenting with their natural color, no matter what shade they were going for in the first place, they all end up with something along the orange spectrum. I know from experience that it is very hard for people with raven locks to pull off a true blond or caramel tint. Nevertheless, these girls are devoted to changing it up, even if it means spending some quality time in the principal's office!

I noticed.
The sumo wrestlers have big buns also, top and bottom.
I decided to also add at the end of my comment the peculiar "word verification" which has to pass the "Google Test" (duh!) before being accepted.
"Inglyra"
Oops! "Resse" take two, the first time I actually screwed up and didn't pass the "Google Test" ! HA!

That hairstyle is awesomely gorgeous. I, too, just had to comment on your title. :-) Makes me giggle. My word verification is "fulge." I almost feel like that could be a word. Like, you smell like fulge. Or I totally fulged that fake name.
