Hair Recommends - Part 1
Although this blog won’t be focusing solely on fashion, it’s safe to say that roughly half of my posts will cover kitty couture on a regular basis. Because hair is such an essential element of an outfit — especially critical for Nekos in light of the extra furry parts on our bodies — I wanted to share four of the styles I’ve been wearing lately to spark your imagination. Let me start by confessing some of my biases:
| Ears | To me, seeing a pair of pale, strangely hairless human ears just below my lovely Neko ears is a bit odd, so I tend to wear hair that keeps those lesser counterparts safely hidden.
| Color | I like to match (for the most part). If I’m wearing a dark red Neko tail and ears, I’ll try to choose a similarly dark red hair… or at least red-tipped hair. Same goes for white hair with white tail/ears (or white-tipped pink if I’m feeling kawaii), brown with brown, and black with black. (I’ll be doing similar posts on ear and tail recommendations in the future, stay tuned.)
| Style | It probably goes without saying, but I’m not going to wear a French braid, pigtails, or a well-coiffed bun (despite how gorgeous Mariya looks in them) as a Neko. Give me something a little messy, a bit shaggy (preferably flexi), and every once in a while, maybe even a little bit bizarre.
Got a favorite Neko hair? Drop me a comment, I love discovering (and reviewing!) new styles.
Hair Recommend #1:
Armidi - “The Roxy” in tipped reds (wearing Honey Ginger with Auburn Tips)
Hair Recommend #2:
Eat Rice! - “Pickle” in Auburn (although the designer discontinued this one shortly after I posted, she’s got all sorts of other cute styles worth checking out!)
Hair Recommend #3:
Kin - “Lucy” in red
Hair Recommend #4:
Kin - “Ryuuzaki” in red

AND I totally think you should model for me for a Neko Friday ^^
I agree with you!
Good post!
Aaaand… If I ever come across a nekoesque bun, be sure I’ll let you know. Haha.
My favourite Neko-ish hair, that I wear nearly all the time, is “Shun” from Hyate.
I completely agree with your comment regarding ears and haircolour when wearing neko ears. I don’t often wear my neko ears, mostly because it’s hard to find hair for men that completely covers the human ears. I only have two hairstyles I’m comfortable with wearing while I’m in neko shape.
You know, I’m planning to do a “Hair Recommends Round 2″ post in the near future, and I’m hoping to include a list of appropriate guy hair this time around (particularly if I can get my camera-shy photographer to model them for me, hehe!) Either way, when I start assembling a list of hair, I’ll pop you another email so you can get advance recommends.
