Hime Cut

The hime cut (princess cut) is a hairstyle consisting of straight, usually cheek-length sidelocks and frontal fringe. The rest of the hair is usually worn long and straightened. The hime cut is high maintenance for those without naturally straight hair, and requires frequent touch-ups on the sidelocks and front bangs in order to maintain its shape. Hair straightening is sometimes used to help with these problems as well as straightening irons and specially formulated shampoos for straight hair. Humidity is also cited as a problem with certain hair types, as the curling caused by excess humidity can change the shape of the hair.

Variants of the side shoots have also been observed, such as long margins, which are sometimes tightened in front of the ears, and only the side shoots lack the frontal edge. The side shoots may also appear short (as is the case with the Hell Girl Aye Enma, with an eyebrow pony and side slits running in her mouth). Another example is the Vocaloid Megurine Luka, in which her side list appears to be one level from the level of the mouth to the neck.
