Tag: hime cut

A hime cut is a hairstyle consisting of straight, short (usually cheek-length to shoulder-length) sidelocks, and frontal bangs/fringe, specifically in the blunt bangs style. The short sidelocks ("hime locks") can be accompanied by longer sidelocks behind the hime locks, and still qualify the hairstyle as a hime cut. The defining feature is the layered or "staircase" look that is formed with the bangs and the short hime locks.

The sidelocks must be distinct from the rest of the hair; if the hair is the same length all around (including the sidelocks), it is likely a bob cut.
