hmm... i think this would be best left to a professional... doin' your hair up like that would take alot of dexterity ( imagine having to twist your arms to reach back and put your hair into those elaborate chignons)...and who has that amount of hair !? of course you're gonna need more hair than what you already have...
Did you know that Geisha's have a bald spot on the middle of their head's?? It come's from all the hard pulling, twisting and that rea bees wax. This hair style (if you're going to it often in it's original way) is actually torture to you're hair and head. But I still love Geisha's and their history. Thnnx for the tutorial, that guy is amazing <3 ^^
@SisandEve yes I did, for older women who used to geisha in the olden days it was considered a medal of honor. But in todays world (especially for this tutorial) you don't have to pull that hard
@kimktn This is a video showing the styling of a Kyoto Geiko's wig.
Maiko or apprentice Geisha/Geiko have their own hair styled but fully qualified modern Geiko (Kyoto dialect for Geisha) are allowed to wear wigs, so they can have everyday
hairstyles when off duty.
Further information can be found in Women Of The Pleasure Quarters by Lesley Downer.
@Dinker27 you can style a long haired wig, as I said in a previous comment there are many websites that can show you how. Or you can buy one pre-made, try ebay or amazon :)
this is really good, though at first I was a little confused about wich were the back and the front of the head, because of the lack of face and everything LOL but I really liked it
@Carsucci it is real wax,made of rea bees.....they keep it melted in a pot,so it is very very hot,and it goes cold it becomes solid and keeps the hair in place.but believe me,you dont wanna do it.did it once,i still have nightmares with it.lol seriously,it hurts a lot.
Amazing! Video has nice quality! And he made it look really easy! But I still feel like I wont beable to do it to my hair! lol Love how beautiful it came out! I guess it wouldn't hurt to try it! Thanks for the video loved it!
I've always wanted to dress up my girls as geishas but the hair part is so hard. The hair came out beautiful though but looks hard. He makes it look so simple....
@sassylatina808 it's not as hard as you might think though it does take practice. However many people resort to styling halloween wigs, there are many websites that show you how or you can go to ebay where you can get one already styled in the desired fashion :)
I have a real looking geisha wig though I forgot the name of the website :( but I found other sites that sell real looking wigs, there is one on ebay that is actually from Tokyo Japan. Happy hunting :)
@japaneseladysamurai that's just YouTube watchers. I think they have to post something negative on nearly everyone's post. I absolutely love this video and music. I wish I knew how to get this song.
@MorbidAutumn There is a website that does sell halloween geisha wigs that look like that actual thing in fact I have one :D But this tutorial was for girls that have hair that is too long to wear wigs.
@japaneseladysamurai Im not sure if i could put my hair up like this because my hairs just above my shoulders and its quite thick so how would i do this??
@LadyBellx You could use extensions or use a wig, I actually found halloween wigs that look very authentic and are affordable. However, even if you did have long hair performing this style takes trial and error. Alot of practice :)
@beefypunk Yep :) But if you want to recreate this hairstyle for say Halloween, bintsuke abura is hard to get a hold of and is pretty expensive, so....use your favorite hair products :D
If you DO want to get a hold of real maiko and geisha products go to the websit hannari-ya(dot)com
@japaneseladysamurai i know,it said so on your channel,and i enjoy studying all kinds of cultur,because it not only broadens your horizon,but gives you a better understanding of people as a population.
@RidiculousRent the song you find pretty is about a mother crying over the death of a 12 years old japanese girl who hanged herself in shame after being raped 7 years ago by 3 american GI's near the american basis of iejima in the archipelago of okinawa and about the 2 millions civilians killed by bombing during the world war two in okinawa alone.
What is the name of the first song. Please tell me i really want to know.
