Is there a more concise way to describe this hairstyle? [closed]

Solution 1:

I believe the short answer is there is no single term for that specific hair-do.

Some hairstyles do have a more or less common name; sometimes they are named after either a fictional character or a celebrity. For example your hairstyle here is a little bit of a "Pippy Longstocking" hairstyle, maybe. {However I've just checked and Pippi has two conventional "little girl" pigtails which stick out at the sides - nothing like there front-tassles, really.}

Note that within the world of anime there may be an exceedingly specialised term for that hair style. (Wild guess ... "rorita-pretty style". Or maybe "librarian cute style." Or "boygurl number 3" - or whatever.)

To know that term, you would have to watch every episode every made of Kawaii International, which you would have already done if you eg. make video games for a living.

FYI - How would you describe this hair? Note, your style here is not "anime hair" (anime hair is the sort of tousled-blocky style), I just refer you to that discussion.

By the way, funnily enough clicking to the Kawaii International site, incredibly the picture on the front is of a somewhat similar style (well some aspects thereof).

You can see that the term SweetNGirly would appear to be a catchy one this month. (Last month it was "BoyGurl style" as I happened to mention above as an example.)

Please note that I am not suggesting your specific answer here is "SweetNGirly style". Rather,

(1) Be aware that in the anime - cosplay - Akihabara - kawaii universe, there are a tremendous number of very specific terms, which tens of millions of people in many Asian countries (and increasingly overseas would know. It is possible that (unknown to us) there's a perfectly common term for that style - perhaps named for a famous character.

(2) Since you are asking this question topically, it's just possible that the front-tassle things relate to this latest fad, "SweetNGirly-stylu".

BTW I mention Kawaii International. Of course, that's as old as a dictionary today, you'd be watching Moshi Moshi Nippon. But that's so out there I am too old to give a link.
