“Japan’s blondes vanish as women turn to dark side,” Reuters reports today.

Kjeld Duits: @Dustheap: I don’t think the reporter was actually correct when she wrote that straight hair black hair is considered unflattering in Japan. That is why I commented on the article.

Having said that, I think you always have the The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence thing happening, people wanting things they don't, or can't, have.
Dustheap: It’s so strange that straight hair is considered unfaltering in japan, yet in America everyone wants that flat ironed hair look… I see people with wavy hair, yet it seems that more people want straight!

Heibonsha Limited Publishers has published a book about famed Japanese fashion label Comme des Garçons.
