Add some character to your 'do this summer with these trendy Japanese looks.

Need a new way to jazz up your hairdo this summer? Look to one of the subculture capitals of the world and learn from the best trendsetters in the East. We round up the coolest Japanese styles worn by chic street style fashionistas and celebrities below.&nbsp;

Just like Twice&rsquo;s Momo, try your hand at some chunky highlights. Whether it&rsquo;s just your fringe, or sections throughout your hair, thick locks of contrasting colours are all the rage. This is especially great if you don&rsquo;t want to commit to a full head of bleached hair. These pieces will also add subtle dimension to any braid or updo.

Bob to the Top

If you&rsquo;re looking for something a little more office-appropriate, there&rsquo;s nothing better than a sleek bob. The key to getting the perfect chic look is a jet black, straight cut all the way around. If you&rsquo;re feeling even braver, go the extra step and get it chopped till your hair just hits your ear, like actress Ayaka Miyoshi.

A Little Pink-Me-Up

Summer&rsquo;s the best time to explore new hair colours, especially brighter tones to suit the warmer months. And the biggest influencers in Japan have been venturing into pink. All the different shades of pink have been making a resurgence in Japanese salons, locally and internationally. As a bonus, your hair can match the blooms around you for the cutest summer Instagram reel.

Cop that Chop

Get that ultimate anime-girl style with chopped sections. To ace this look, simply take the two sections of hair framing your face and do a clean chop. The edgy &lsquo;do suits straight and curly hair alike &ndash; so you don&rsquo;t need to worry about blowdrying your hair perfectly in the morning. On lazy days, you can even tie your hair up, and leave the cropped sections out to channel effortless and casual chic.
