About the Hime Cut for Women
Who it suits
The hime cut suits men and women with straight, smooth hair that can hold a sharp blunt edge. It frames the face with two distinct sidelocks and blunt bangs, so it flatters oval and heart shapes and reads best on thick, glossy hair without much wave. Choose it if you like a precise, high-contrast look and do not mind keeping the lines straight.
How to ask for it
Ask your stylist for a hime cut: blunt, straight-across bangs and shorter blunt sidelocks cut cleanly at cheekbone or jaw level, with the back left long. Specify the exact length of the sidelocks and bangs, and ask for blunt scissor cuts rather than texturizing so the edges stay crisp. For a masculine version, ask to keep the sidelocks slightly longer and softer.
Upkeep & styling
The hime cut needs touch-ups every four to six weeks to keep the blunt lines sharp. Flat-iron straight hair for the cleanest edge, and use a smoothing serum or light oil to keep the sidelocks and bangs glossy and frizz-free.
Hime Cut — frequently asked questions
Can men get a hime cut?
Yes. A men's hime cut keeps the signature blunt bangs and sidelocks but is often cut a touch longer and softer for a masculine balance with long hair at the back.
What length works for a medium hime cut?
A medium-length hime cut keeps the back around shoulder length, with sidelocks hitting the jaw and blunt bangs at the brow. It is easier to manage than a very long version.
What hair type suits a blunt hime cut?
Straight, thick hair holds the blunt edges best. Wavy or fine hair can work but usually needs flat-ironing to keep the bangs and sidelocks crisp.
Does a hime cut work for boys?
It can. A boy's hime cut uses softer, slightly longer sidelocks and bangs, keeping the blunt shape recognizable without looking too severe.
