How do you choose and wear hair accessories for your Coming of Age Ceremony?
Coming of Age Ceremony is an important milestone that only happens once in a lifetime.
One of the joys of wearing a gorgeous furisode is choosing a beautiful hair accessory to go with it.
However, while furisode styles have become more diverse in recent years, I feel that there is very little information available on how to actually wear them, such as "What hairstyle should I have?" and "What kind of hair accessories should I wear and how should I wear them?"
The internet is full of hair accessories with a variety of designs, but when it comes to actually purchasing one, many people worry about how to coordinate it with their hairstyle and how to wear it.
In fact, we often hear from customers that, "I've decided on the kimono and hairstyle, but I'm not sure what hair accessories to choose," or "I don't know how to put them on."

Pitfalls in Choosing Hair Accessories – Balance Issues with Ready-made Products
Many commercially available hair accessories have the flower placement and balance already decided.
Therefore, if you choose a hair accessory that doesn't match your hairstyle, the overall impression may seem disjointed.
For example, if you want your hairstyle to have volume around your face, but the accessories are concentrated at the back, it will look unbalanced.
Also, designs with large flowers on the side may not go well with styles where the hair is kept compact.
You don't want to feel like something just doesn't quite fit in on a special sunny day.

Ichirindo's hair accessories allow you to freely design them.
At Ichirindo, instead of using pre-made sets, you can choose your favorite single flower from a wide selection and create your own design.
The recommended way to use them is to prepare your favorite flowers in separate pieces and then, on the day, consult with your hairdresser to match them to your hairstyle.
This way, you can place the hair accessory in the optimal position while checking the balance when you actually put on the kimono.
Also, if you want to express your originality, it is important to know the basic rules for hair accessories.
By mastering the basics, such as flower placement, compatibility with hairstyle, and appropriate balance for Japanese clothing, you can achieve a style closer to your ideal.
