Also known as: 姫カット, 姬发式, 公主切
A hairstyle consisting of long Straight Hair, Blunt Bangs, and Sidelocks with Blunt Ends.
All elements must be present to be considered a hime cut. The hair must be long and straight and the Bangs and Sidelocks must have blunt ends.
As the name suggests, the style is thought to have originated, or at least become common, in the Imperial court during the Heian period of Japanese history, when noble women would sometimes grow out their hair for their entire lives.
