About Hime Cut
A hime cut is made of three separate lengths, and the sharp transitions between them define its character. The bangs are cut straight at the brow line. The side locks run down the cheeks and end bluntly at the chin. The hair at the back is long and one length. Straight hair makes the lines look their crispest.
The side locks frame the width of the face, making round and square faces look narrower, while the bangs balance long faces. Because the cut is so distinct, growing it out takes time: the side locks can take several months to lengthen and blend into the rest of the hair.
Can I get a hime cut with short hair?
A classic hime cut needs long hair at the back, since the effect comes from the difference between the three lengths. That contrast doesn’t work on short hair.
How do you grow out a hime cut?
As the side locks and bangs grow, a layered cut blends them into the rest of the hair. It takes a few months, so seeing the look on your own photo before deciding is a good idea.
