The Hime Cut, derived from the Japanese word “hime” which means princess, is a hairstyle that is characterized by straight, face-framing sidelocks that contrast with the longer hair at the back, creating a bold, layered look. Initially, it was a traditional haircut for Japanese noblewomen and princesses during the Heian Period in Japan. Today, it has become a popular trend, especially in manga. This year, the Hime Cut has again taken the fashion world by storm, with celebrities like Suzy, Momo from Twice and Rainie Yang rocking the chic look. Let’s check them out!

Rainie Yang's favourite variation of the Hime Cut is the Block Cut, which emphasizes a sleek and modern look. The sidelocks align with the lips, giving the appearance of a medium-length hairstyle from the front.
