Cover your body shape with hairstyles!

Hair problems

If you want to try a popular hairstyle but aren't sure if it will suit you, or if you're unsure what kind of hairstyle to choose, one way to decide on a hairstyle is to consider the overall balance, including your body type.

At Kumari, a beauty salon in Nishi-Ikebukuro, we propose hairstyles that are tailored to each individual customer. We can also cover up body shapes with hairstyles, so please feel free to consult us.

Pear-shaped body with volume in the lower body

A "pear-shaped" body type refers to a body with more volume in the lower half of the body than in the upper half. This body type is said to be common among Japanese people, so many people are probably troubled by it. If you have a pear-shaped body, a hairstyle that is too sleek will make areas of your lower body that you are concerned about stand out, so it is recommended that you add volume to your hair to draw attention away.

"Pineapple shape" with volume in the upper body

If you're tall and muscular, with a lot of volume in your upper body, you have a "pineapple body type." Pineapple bodies tend to be perceived as more "cool" than cute, so bob haircuts with curls or waves will add a feminine touch and highlight your femininity. This style is also recommended for those with angled shoulders, broad shoulders, large breasts, or upper arms who want to cover up volume in their upper body.

A slender, slender "banana-shaped"

The slender "banana" shape is a dream for many women, but many are troubled by their thinness. If you have a banana body type, we recommend a hairstyle that draws attention to your face.

Adding volume to your bangs and tucking your side hair behind your ears will help draw attention to your face, creating a sharper facial line. Perming medium to long hair is also effective for adding volume around your face.

Overall rounded "apple shape"

For "apple-shaped" people, who are characterized by a rounded body shape, long layered hair that emphasizes vertical lines will create a sleek impression. If hair is shoulder-length, it will emphasize the width of the shoulders and make the horizontal lines more obvious, so long hair that is longer than the shoulders is recommended. Also, creating bangs and parting them to the side will draw the eye up and improve balance.
