Gyaru Thread

To answer my own questions

1. I don't think that I own sth rare

2. I love Harutamu and Himena

What would be considered "rare"?

My fave gyaru are Yun, Mipochi and Ashley

I don't think I own any rare pieces? Are there rare pieces? Maybe in gaijin terms but gyaru stuff is seasonal for a lot of it.

Favorite gyaru is Himena! I sort of like Ririka as well. I also look up to Harutam because she's a badass!

I heard of some 'rare' ma*rs and lizmelo pieces as in lolita rare. But not sure if it's true

>>8948254
With Ririka, do you mean Harutamus creepy twin?

We should add pics!

Mine are Shizuka Takeda (takedashizuka0517 on instagram, although she isn't gal anymore) and Ayuxusa (ayuxusa75) who works at Deyle Noir and makes onee look super cute imo.

>>8949044
I love seeing short hair in gyaru!

Btw, any fellow gyarus in Sweden?

>>8949044
Omg, I wish I could rock this kind of hairstyle! It looks so cute and comfortable

I kind of hate the gaijin onee trend because everyone looks the same and they're all buying the same pieces, but I guess it's better than nothing.

I'm also tired of this whole pattern-blocking thing going on from the onee brands, with lots of empty space and then BAM rose graphics on the border or the lower half of the garment... its cute but tiring to see over and over again

I'm finding this Dutch gyarusa really inspiring lately, I don't remember what they're called but I think being in proximity to Jojo is making all of them step their game up. I don't remember the last time I saw a group of gaijin gals looking this good. The girls in the front are a little basic, but the girls in back are looking really good.

>>8950282
Oh wait, I just realised I misread the question kinda. My favourite japanese gal is Sayoko Ozaki- I don't really wear onee style but I just love how glamorous she looks. Then my favourite gaijin gal is probably Jojo right now, it was Chewiee but she's left the fashion and I really doubt she's coming back.

>>8950289
I don't really like jojo since her style got pretty boring these days.

But I like ari marie, even though her last few posts of make and hair were a little sloppy. And I like himena anni

>>8950491
Eh, I'm not really into the really OTT stuff myself- I really admire the skill and chutzpah that goes into what Ari does, but I personally prefer more glamorous and 'wearable' looks.

>>8950491
>boring
her style has never been boring in my opinion

>>8950536
She always wears the same 3pieces and wears her hair flat down while others get scolded for it she gets asspats?

I preferred her style more when she was still switching it from time to time

>>8950531
I love the ott stuff, I also like onee and other towned down styles, but it looks not 'outstanding' on western people, just plain and boring and nothing like gyaru

>>8950545
Okay, I'm not convinced that you actually have any idea what gyaru is, because you sound like one of those weebs who has a shit fit if people aren't wearing head to toe alba rosa and 90s ganguro make. Styles change anon.

>>8950536
Agreed, it's not reinventing the wheel but she looks fantastic.

>>8950289
Will forever miss Chewiee :'( even with natural hair and not trying she looks more gal than most gaijin comms put together, sigh

>>8950553
I do infact know what gyaru is all about, and that's why I think that the 'gyaru' should still be visible. I don't want everyone to run around in 90's/00's gyaru omg hell not but people wearing himekaji, roma and onee and never have done sth different aren't worth to call themselves gyaru desu (doesn't mean they're ugly or don't look good in their style, but they're not gyaru after all)

With jojo it is, she's infact gyaru, her style is good, but as mentioned before in the last few months it got pretty boring to see her wear the same three pieces over and over again, doing the same makeup (which is perf but I sometimes want to see sth different), and always wearing her hair flat down with her shitty extensions in it (while others get scold for wearing their hair flat down wtf?)

every gal I've ever seen looks like they would smell kinda funky

Who here is still in mourning for GoH?

>>8950593
>but they're not gyaru after all
But... They are. Those are all styles of gal. They might not be your personal taste but that's still gal. I think it's like a friend of mine said- onee is something you have to earn. If you've never tried more challenging/out-there styles, you shouldn't go straight to the simplest and least visible one.

By that logic, Jojo's paid her dues, so if she's not tried anything new in a while, I'd say that means she's found what works for her. Someone else will step in with something new and exciting.

Speaking of gaijin gals, it feels like we're haemorraging them from the community right now, doesn't it? But maybe that's just because all the good gals in my country either quit or move to Japan.

>>8950638
Are you from Germany? And are you friends with Shiena, cuz that are exactly her words

>>8950642
Nope, I didn't even know about any German gals moving to Japan. And I didn't hear that from Shiena, heard it from Heather iirc.

>>8950644
Haha ok. A lot of German gals moved to Japan recently aka Seres little hoes.

Then heather got this from Shiena. But I also think so. Onee is sth you earn. Himekaji, and other substyles related are also a thing to earn I think, like when you do it if you don't have enough time for a whole look.

With jojo, I do infact think she looks good, but not outstanding anymore. Other than that I like her

>>8950680
Oh really? I thought it was dutch gals Sere was hanging out with- isn't Gaya dutch? And I know Katie and Ksara are english, so I don't know who that leaves.

I think that really any of those styles can look really gal as long as your hair, make and accessories are on point. I mean look at ora ora- you can literally make a tracksuit look gal if you know what you're doing. But a lot of these new gals have shitty unstyled hair and their makeup is either barely there or a white-eyeliner weeaboo nightmare. I don't know which is worse. Is it so hard to just look at the magazines and do it right???

>>8950703
Vika, Kisu, Sandra all of these are German, also that guy who wants to pay a Japanese girl for marriage to achieve a spouse visa, guess he got that idea from sere lol


This ^^ just look at the mags
It's ok to struggle at first. A lot of people struggle with the eyelash thing, because in eg Europe it just isn't as common as in eg Japan to wear them on a daily routine. And hair can also be difficult at first, but it's not as hard as it seems to make it either hanging straight down or put some curls in. Do twintails or whatever. I mind those weebs who still won't get it right after a year or two ugh

>>8950736
I don't think I'll ever wear eyelashes on a daily basis, I hate to go out socially without them but every day? fuck dat

>>8950748
I wouldn't go out with them daily too, but in Japan a lot of ladies do. Half of the girls at my school did

For beginners it's pretty difficult to apply them properly, at least I remember me struggling to get them on. Everything changed after I've lived in Japan for a while. I got so used to wear lashes that I still feel sad that nowadays I can only wear them about once a month

>>8950736#
I'm in the german gal scene and I don't know anyone you mentioned. Who are these girls?

>>8951163
You must be new then, sorry

>>8951163
>>8951460

And if you know about the VK scene a little you'll absolutely know who they are

I'm pretty new to actually dressing gyaru. I mostly just enjoy looking at pictures of cute oldschool gals and wishing I could dress like that.
Does anyone know where I could buy tacky, loud, or generally just clothes that scream "gyaru?" Pic related

>>8953054
Online gyaru groups or, if you're from Europe, turkish, chinese or gypsy stores

>>8953266
Yeah, turkish and chinese clubwear stores are where it's at. I've found loads of stuff in those.

>>8950629
Me, I'm still very sad.

What hair products (ULTA, Sally Beauty links) can I use to pin up my hair like this? Claw clips keep falling down and bobby pins are weak and shitty. Is there any type of pin/clip that would hold hair upwards like picture attached? Thank you.

>>8958061
thats a metric tonne of backcombing and hair spray

>>8958066
What I planned on doing was putting my hair into pig tails and using a clawclip underneath to hold it up higher; kind of like lolita twin tail wigs but putting the two pigtails up at the top of the head.

Anyone know anything about yukata and where to find really good gyaru looking obis/decorations for them?

Believe it or not, I found an authentic yukata at the Salvation Army today in my little middle of nowhere town and it's the perfect look for gyaru so I wanted to try and wear it for an upcoming convention.

Do you have any shop recommendations? I had heard there was a shop on eBay that auctioned off a lot of stuff but I have no idea what the name of it is either.

And just to share, here's the pink on the yukata!

>>8958022
Its related to royal in English.

I think it's just time to except that the gaijin gyaru comm is dead

muh dick

>>8963107
It's actually coming back. But people are afraid to post online. I know many gyaru who keep themselves out of comms and groups

what is the difference between gyaru and ganguro

>>8963293
Pretty much everything? Hair design, makeup style, shade of makeup, etc. Especially considering what you define as gyaru like the Liz Lisa 'natural' look vs ganguro

>>8963293
Ganguro is a substyle of gyaru
Ganguro = gyaru

>>8963269
I guess I should've been specific:

The North American gaijin comm is dead. Nothing like what is going on in the European comm is going on over here and I doubt it will

>>8963304
I wonder why. In the us you easily get everything to become a gal

>>8963304
stop sulking, start dressing

>>8963474
I am one of the few who "dress" so way ahead of you

>>8963376
I don't know what it is but even with everything readily available, people but the bare minimum amount of effort, if that

>>8963591
Oh well, that's just how americans are in the eye of a eurofag. You get all the resources, but fuck it up anyway. Don't be angry with me, at least you guys are entertaining

>>8963269
Yeah, I kinda of avoid using the online communities, you gals are terrifying.

>>8963777
I guess there are various causes for this
>in comparison to lolis, most gaijin gya actually plan to go to Japan instead of throwing out their money for brand
>those who achieve the nippon dream mostly end up as prostitutes
>online comm will go full retard over that

>newbies who can't accept concrit
>oldies who just bully amd don't give proper concrit
>newbies who stay in their 'newbie phase' forever and three years

>the overall gyaru look is probably even more difficult than the lolita stuff
>lolita buys full coord and a wig baaam lolita
>gyaru needs coord skills, perfect makeup skills, and know how to do their hair
>it's even more difficult for fatties

>>8963599
This
>have everything at their fingertips
>still wear hot topic shit and look like ghetto cunts
>then they come to Europe and whine about how racist, elitist and mean we are and try to introduce dumb SJW rules so that everyone can participate
Go shit in your own pool and leave ours alone

>>8964361
I think gyaru just have higher standards than lolis. There are some lolis with fucking terrible hair and makeup who look like complete potatoes outside of loli, you don't really get that in gal apart from a few notable lolcows. I think the nice thing about gal though is that if you're really trying to improve, older gals will back you 100% and invest in your progress, because we all want the gaijin gyaru comm to grow and improve, especially now that it's dying out in Japan.

I think the gyaru comm probably seems really intimidating to newbies, but I find it's so supportive and warm once you make some friends and establish yourself. I never found that with loli at all, found it all very fake-nice and two-faced.

>>8964370
I remember how hard it was to just get some fucking lashes in (northern)europe just like 2-4years ago. You either needed to buy overpriced shit at cons or buy online.

Or wigs! In America they have fucking wig shops, not only for people with cancer or other illnesses, but also for normal people.

And clothes! In Europe you'll always get the same three pieces in two different colors. But gyaru is actually based on american clothes!

Yet, the murrican comm still can't get it's shit together

>>8964376
>gyaru is dying out in Japan
You clearly have no clue, right?

But you're tru nowadays the oldies tryna help, but there are like 100newbies and only one of them will turn from what a lolita would call ita into a perfect gal. As if it was soooo difficult to fucling throw some lashes into your face and dress like a gypsy. Even I got it after like 1 1/2 years of dirty mean unhelpful concrit (started in the days where all the gossip pages and idiots were still active)

>>8964380
>You clearly have no clue, right?
Uh... what? GoH, Glavil and co&lu in 109 all shut down within something like a week of each other, and dia is toning down dramatically. It's not looking good. You still see gals on the street in Osaka, but we're all pretty fucked if the designers stop making clothes for the style.

>As if it was soooo difficult to fucling throw some lashes into your face and dress like a gypsy.
Well the thing with gal is isn't not difficult *once you know what you're doing*, but I think the aesthetic is a lot more complex and nuanced than lolita, so ex-lolis come in and think they just have to follow a set of rules and that'll make them a perfect gal. Gal doesn't work like that at all, you really have to understand the origins, subculture and social image of the style to perfect it imo. That's the #1 thing I'd say more newbies do wrong, because if they paid more attention to the magazines, blogs and models, they'd get it right much quicker.

>>8964386
Brands dying, but that's the greatest thing about gal, that you don't need those fucking brands. You can get gal clothes everywhere, we not lolis.

>only in osaka
And saitama, and chiba and nagoya and kawaguchi, etc only the tokyo scene died


I wonder why non of them takes a look at gal models, magazines and youtube tutorials. The resources are given

>>8964388
>And saitama, and chiba and nagoya and kawaguchi, etc only the tokyo scene died
Oh really? I didn't know that, that's really cool.

But can you really say you can think of anywhere that isn't dia that sells that style of clothing? Or mars? It's a bit easier with brands like GoH, Glavil or Co&lu that are similar to particular western styles, but the only place I can get stuff that looks like dia is, well, dia. And I'm absolutely in love with that style.

There is that shop New Yorker in Germany that does dia-style stuff sometimes (they even did a couple of replicas iirc), but it's hit and miss.

>>8964396
If you're from Germany then check out turkish or Vietnamese/Chinese stores. They have the same bitchy stuff as you get at dia. Mars well thatps sth different, though they also toned down alot.

But usually, you can definitely be a gyaru without owning a single piece of brand, which is the magic special super awesome point about this lifestyle.

>>8964386
>Glavil
EVEN GLAVIL? oh no

>>8964386
I don't think it's about needing to research to understand but more that a lot of people don't have an innate sense of fashion. so when they go from something structured to something that requires some vague understanding they don't know what to do. like most of these people can't put together an outfit other than jeans and tshirt, let alone try to do a bunch of stuff at once.

Those tights don't go with these boots

>>8965820
Naah needs more 'girly' shoes than these farmer like lookimg boots amd those tights...I mean usually the hearts should go up halfway of the thigh

>>8965550
I agree with both ^ + I don't like the thin belt over the bulky sweater. I think your proportions are off overall

>>8965829
The tights are too small, not pulled up enough, I guess.

>>8958061
Could you maybe use a small foam piece and angle it to be more dominate on one side along with your pig-tail idea? Their called 'bumpit's over here but it might be diff for you.

I actually made my own similar to the black w/ clip pic, Being able to make a costumed color and shape really helped me with my styling (although I live in a pageant state so big hair is big business here)

>>8965833
I didn't even noticed the belt

>>8965841
That's the problem I guess

>>8965844
They can go with gyaru if they fit properly

>>8958415
This is just a regular pre-tied 2-tone obi in photo, nothing special. Glittery or metallic heko obi tucked in front and yukata worn off shoulders is more gyaru. Pretty belt instead of datejime, etc, if you know any kimono styling at all. Ageha used to publish annual kimono book that has stylings for that and Sweet Angel should be stocking sets and accessories on rakuten by end of May. Those are very cute for gyaru yukata style.

>>8965550
That dress is cute af but those boots truly are not. You need some pink or white heels in your life.

>>8965550
The boots and belt could go more rokku, bare legs, miniskirt in denim or leopard (or shorts) and this black tank.
but the sweater is more sweet and cute so needs softer accessories, less edge. Use plain stockings and some heels like >>8949044 photo. Add white tank instead of black, use belt as second necklace, long or doubled.

I think everything you show here can be gal just need to sort the pieces and put like with like.

I think your hair needs some lift and maybe curl or texture and of course we can't see the make so??
What do you think?

>>8965889
I wouldn't wear those boots in rokku either, flat boots with no platform or anything are really ehhh for gal. Those just look like ugly farmer boots to me and I would never try to make those work in a gal look.

>>8964641
Yeah, that definitely makes sense. Personally I think that people with no sense of fashion should just stay out of gal, looking stylish and well put together is the whole point.

>>8965550
Invest in some high heeled boots if you wanna go that way, this isn't working with gal

>>8965550
>>8965550
I love that jumper but agreeing with others, needs a much thicker belt , mor black accessories and a more elegant heeled shoe
Looks like you've go hair height but not texture

>>8965846
Not the person you were replying to, but thank you for the tip, I didn't even know these existed! Ordered a set in two different sizes, this should help me get a bit more volume at the crown when I'm doing big curly hairstyles.


On another note- valentines seem to be doing a lot better on Facebook now. Do any of you submit valentines? If so, how do you decide who to post? I normally go onto SnG and International Gyaru and just screenshot anyone who looks really good and doesn't get posted all the time like Jojo or Ari.

And about that other anon, I don't get that nightmare vibe? Maybe they were thinking that your eyes are a bit intense? I think it's fine! Keep up the good work!

>>8968334
If possible, you should try longer undershorts for your top/dress, it seems too too short imo

>>8968334
Your outfit is cute as hell but you need to learn to take a selfie. Face a window so you get some good natural lighting, lift your chin a little, and practice smiling in a way that suits you.

>>8968375
Yeah I'll definitely try to work on it!

Thanks for the critiques everyone!

>>8968334
Super cute!

>>8968334
super cute anon! some nit picks are that you need a bit more texture in your bump and your corners need extending more (especially into the inners), and a thinner lower lash line, you're bordering rokku levels of thickness
also more upper lashes, but not sure if thats just the unflattering evil looking down your nose pose making that happen

Post more gaijin inspo plus names please! I'm rather new and want to know more good ones aside from the ones always popping up anyway, because they've a huge followership

>wide jaw
>small, but high and slender nose
>deep set eyes
>big eyes

I really need some good inspo. It seems like I can't figure out how to contour my nose while looking at people with wide or flat nosebridges contouring theires. On my nosebridge there's barely any space for a contour line because it's so slim

>>8969553
Mando maybe? Or Kohaku? There's not all that many gaijin gals with that face type that I can think of, but those two might help you.

Georgie, your style is nice, but anon is right, it's pretty basic and not really anything to write home about. You should probably leave before you embarrass yourself any further.

>>8970055
Sorry, but I'm not Georgie. Just look at her blog and see how she writes English

>>8970062
I bet you think himekaji is gyaru too.

>>8970066
Without gyaru make up I don't think it's gyaru.

>>8970062
Same level of English as yours, generally passable with occasional small syntactical mistakes. Shocking coincidence, that.

Seriously, just go. You'll only harm your fanbase by pulling shit like this.

>>8970068
Himekaji girls don't use gal makeup at all.

Also, gal isn't gal -with- the make up, it's not gal -without- it. That's a common misconception.

I like Lau too! I wish she'd update her blog more often

>>8968334
I am not familiar with the clothes, but for the makeup: try bigger/spikey lashes, maybe a different eyeshape? a slight droop, don't go as heavy on the top liner.
a litle bit of shimmery white in the inner corner (or a glittery eyeliner) would be cute aswell!

This is probably a dumb question, but what are those fluffy things on their legs called? Is there a specific name for them, and where can I get them?

I feel like its so hard to be an A+ gyaru without being thin/skinny. The aesthetic just doesn't work for fuller figures imo, so I struggle to coord my own outfits

Do any of you have inspo of fuller figured (not fat) gaijin gyaru or am I SOL?

>>8976963
What do you mean by full but not fat?
>eg I'd consider ari as fat
>but barbie as full/normal
(Excuse those shitty examples, but those too are popular and they just came up to my brain)

Also, since when is gyaru about coord? If your hair and make looks like shit, you can't pull it off anyway

That's actually not full, but FEMALE. you have a FEMALE bodyshape. And there's tons of stuff going well with it.

Being a stroke isn't considered female it's called child or loli like and if you're fat as ari, you're a landwhale.

Ari, Motoko and Kaylen are all good plus-sized gaijin gals.

I think it's absolutely possible to be both fat and gal (yes, properly fat, not just curvy), it's just a bit more difficult. If your hair and make are on point and you wear stylish/glamorous clothes that suit your body, you will be most of the way to looking gal. Bigger girls should consider some additional factors like bigger hair (big girl big hair is an excellent rule for gal), killer heels to make your legs look longer, and how to dress best for their shape.

For the body type you're talking about (fuller, but not really fat), I don't think it's difficult at all. Go read Soul Sister, you'll see a ton of thick thighs and round faces.

not gaijin, but SDN48's Nachu is a good example of the 'big hair idea' that >>8977430 is on about. Big hair, big nails help to match the big figure that would otherwise dwarf a smaller frame.

Kind of the same situation. I've just bought some clothes that might fit, at least more than my current ones. I'm already into the make up and nails though.

Your favourite Japanese gyaru idols?

>>8978507
Yun, Mipochi and Sayoko definitely

so if I want to be gyaru id have to buy loud and trashy clothes?

>>8979046
As was said higher up in the thread, if you have the makeup and hair correct you can wear whatever you want. Trashy or otherwise.

>>8979046
1. pick a substyle of gal that you like
2. learn the appropriate makeup style and big, curly, glamorous hair in general
3. buy the appropriate clothes, this might be cute girly stuff (hime), glamorous lady stuff (onee), loud trashy stuff (kurogal, tsuyome), punk stuff... there is a looooot of variation in this style.

Really the important thing is that if you want to be gyaru you have to RESEARCH. It's not a difficult style to learn if you have good fashion sense and lurk moar.

...nobody said they did? I just said they need to be able to do big, glamorous hair, calm yourself. If you can't even be bothered to do your hair, gal probably isn't for you.

>>8979952
No one needs to be able to do big hair, bitch. Very few people, very few gals are able to do big hair on their own. Even at a professional salon, made by 3-5people it'll take hours until you have 'big glamorous hair'. So tell me how someone who isn't a professional hairstylist should so that at home? Guess no one.

That's why I posted the photos from above, those are all 'home made' gyaru hairstyles, you can easily recreate at home

>>8979952
I gotta agree with >>8979967
Most gyaru dont have huge hair all of the time, even in BDia. They regularly wear their hair in simple curls, ponytials or straight.

Styled hair is what is important to a gal look and it doesn't have to be sujimori to be gal. It just has to have had some sort of effort put into it.

You want to know this com died out? I'll tell you.

1. People who get remotely famous think that they know everything about the culture, but they really freaking don't. They just bullshittin and bullshittin, people believe it too. The ones who're remotely popular people think their word is law or they have entitlement, if they don't like something it's automatically not worthy. The entitled people give them such harsh criticism that new people quit and that's what that entitled person wants. These entitled people are making up shit so they get their vision of what gyaru supposed to be.
Not saying all poplar people are like this.

2. Another reason is people are Finding out what with these girls really do it's not all rainbows and frills.

>>8980773
Idk I dont know if it has to do with those things, I think it has something to do with a lot of girls having really thin skin nowadays. Take xin for example. She throws a fit everytime shes posted here, even if its complimentary and didnt she throw a tantrum because someone said she looked greasy?

Why be in an online comm like this if you are going to let such little things hurt you so badly. Someone like her would never survive in the online lolita comm and they have always been considered tamer than the gal comm.

I think there are so many people with thin skin like her that everyone is afraid to give even the slightest criticism because they dont want to be seen as "bullying" (I have seen this first hand on multiple occasions) so it leads to dead groups and threads which leads to a dead comm

>>8980790
>lolita calmer than gal
Can anyone verify this one way or the other? I've heard it the other way around a lot, under the attitude of gals will talk shit to your face, but lolitas will talk shit behind your back and never let anything go.

I use to be Gal and this is not true AT ALL. Gals go farther with their drama. Posting people's nudes, FAKING people's nudes, children, real life information,physically fighting in person, etc. I'll take anons on BTB before I deal with gaijin gals ever again.

I wish I could be part of the gal comm but from what I can tell it's a giantcircle jerk between a few well known gals and none gaf if you aren't one of them or made up to the nines.

>>8981058
So, if you was good at applying make and setting a decent coord you'd just go ahead and post it in sng, because there, people no matter how bad they are get pampered by everyone.
You're the ones who make the comm die. You think you wouldn't comcrit as a loli? Or in amy kimd of other jfashion scene, or your daily life? Concrit is everywhere and if you've never experienced it and know how to deal with it, tell your parents that they've done the worst job ever

>>8980877
Wow, I know it was much more severe, but never knew it would be that bad. I just remember after seeing gyaru drama, lolita seemed so much more mild.

what.

I'm not against cc at all but saying someone's " too stupid to apply makeup" isn't helpful at all, just immature. I don't want to participate in a comm that condones people who talk like that to others.

Omg this. Its so sad. Why are the mods not telling him to keep posting relevant to gyaru??

>>8981362
Because he wants to become a gyaruo and uwuu we all nice and kind

>>8981304
>>8981343
>>8981362
I feel like he's going to become a huge pain in the arse. He's a friend of a friend so I'm tolerating him until he does something weird, but I do wonder how he ended up here.

>>8981454
He's creepy. God how old is he even?? End 30's?

>>8981229
I will post around 7pm UK time, and I will try to keep that timing consistent with future posts as well.

Hopefully I get more submissions between now and then.

>>8981727
Thanks! How many did you receive so far? Posting twice a week will get heavy I guess

>>8981728
I have 4 so far, but considering that I didn't think it would catch on, that's pretty good.

The best thing about WordPress is I can do it from my phone so you all don't have to worry about me being sick or on vacation or anything keeping me from posting

>>8981373
ojiisan gyaruo is gonna be the next big thing kek

>>8981862
*bald ojisan with beard

>>8981362
He is so creepy looking

>>8981075
we don't want you in the comm anyways.

>>8981362
This guy just looks like... the most stereotypical sleazebag ever, like if you ever see a guy creeping on girls in a bar in a movie/show, they look like this.

I posted the secrets early since I'm not sure I will be available to post them tonight

>>8981913
Oh honey, no. :(

>>8981727
Are you a UK gyaru then?

goddamn Gyaru is the worst fashion trend to come out of Japan ever.

>Lets cook our skin to a pigment that doesn't work with our features, and then accentuate the terrible choice we made with light colored definition so we look like we're 50+ years old.

>>8982996
I've nothing serious to contribute to the thread then just don't. You surely know nothing about gyaru at all, cuz if you would then you'd know there are are far more other styles than just the kuro ones

>>8982596
What's wrong with that coord? It looks cute to me.

>>8983048
Are you new?

Also, even if you're new it's 100% obvious that the tights don't fit, the shoes don't go well with the coord at all and the belt isn't even visible

>>8983048

>ratty wig
>shit brows
>jacket that doesn't match covering up the coord
>ill fitting tights

>>8982984
No I am not

>>8983094
>>8983114
Oh, I see. I wasn't even looking at the tights or wig, I thought they were talking about the clothes themselves which I like.

>>8982596
Yeah, it's not the best looking outfit but I don't have that many examples to look at so at least it's something.

>>8983094
>>8983221
Omg I've replied to a completely wrong thing sorry sorry sorry oops will delete sorrryyyyy

Any tips for a thin and fine haired gyaru?
I really like big hair, as I feel it suits my face shape a bit more, but it never wants to stay put.
Either my hair won't do anything (example: curling rarely works and if it does it doesn't stay with any amount of hairspray) or it'll for for a total of like 5 minutes.
Most of the time I'm stuck with no style and an excess of hairspray in my hair from my attempts to make something work.

>>8983374
1. Extensions
2. Comb a styling mousse through your hair before curling it
3. Use a better hairspray- I use Got2B Glued
4. Learn to tease better or use a bumpit or something to support the height of your hair

At least one of those should work!

>>8983822
Oh, also, my hair doesn't respond all that well to heat styling either BUT I sleep in bantu knots to curl my hair, then just tame/style it a little once I take the knots out. That gives me huge volume and then I just need to re-shape/define the curls a little to make them blend with my extensions. It also saves me a lot of time because I can pre-curl my extensions the night before I wanna get dressed up, and then just clip them in.

Have any of you seen this account?

>>8983981
Lmao what a butthurt little bitch. Don't run a gossip site if you want to be liked. We don't need that shit.
Also, isn't that the same person from this thread? Same picture.

>>8983981
Who is she? Like do you have any thoughts?

>>8984008
I honestly have no idea, I can't even think of someone who would be interested in something like this

Do you guys have any ideas?

>>8984329
Whole bunch of people it could potentially be, but I would guess it's some salty nobody because most gals who have any kind of following or respect in the comm aren't a fan of the whole secrets idea.

>>8984385
You know nothing. Back in the days, sere and gaya were the biggest gossipers, along with chewiee and whoever is 'accidentalfistfighting' on tumblr etc

Who's thegossipgyaru?

>>8984400
Being a gossipper =/= being pro-secrets, and since when has sere been anything but a fucking nobody? The only reason anybody knows who she is is that she couldn't help vomiting racism and false rape accusations all over facebook.

I have no idea about shiena but I know chewiee and heather (accidentalfisting) are completely against it. Like I said, gossiping with your friends or on cgl doesn't mean you post secrets or agree with the existence of secrets websites. I mean I'm here right now talking to you and I sure as hell bitch in this thread , but I thinks secrets are massively immature and unnecessary. I don't know why anybody ever looked at the main source of lolita drama and went 'hey, we should copy that!'

>>8984400
Also nobody seems to know who thegossipgyaru is.

>>8984407
They posted their wannabe 'valentines' on gs, what says that they've never posted secrets? Just telling you they don't like secrets also doesn't tell you that they don't post.

Man I really wanna know who that gossipgyaru bitch is.

>>8984441
Given that you quite clearly don't actually know or speak to either of them, I think i'm staying pretty secure in my judgement that they don't post secrets and aren't into gs. You should really stop trying to spread rumours about people you know nothing about.

>>8983822
>>8983828
Oops, I should have said I have tried all kinds of mousses/volumizing products and I own Got2B hairspray. Unfortunately I never have luck with mousse as it always weighs my hair down whether I use a little or a lot. I've tried both using the mousse on damp hair and blowdrying it and straight on dry hair but it just ends up making it feel/look greasy.

The hairspray is the same sort of deal, except instead of greasy, it just makes it look crusty and gross no matter how much or from how far away I apply it.

The backcombing either doesn't stay in properly or looks too "scene kid" since my hair is so thin the backcombed parts are always visible.

Anyway, it feels like i'm just giving excuses as to why things won't work so I'll stop right there and say that I've never seen bantu knots before! It looks like those work really well on all hair types so i'm gonna give it a try. Brilliant suggestion, thank you very much. If it works I'm definitely gonna look into buying some extensions again. Do you just use clip ins?

Also, do you happen to have a picture of your hair after taking it out of the knots?

>>8984553
I don't have a pic I'm afraid, but the effect really depends on the size of the knots- the smaller the knots, the tighter the curl.

>>8984553
I used bantu knots before and probably never do it again, cuz it got me a fucking affro for two days straight. And from what you've written your hair sounds to be similar to mine. It took ages to get out all the hair knots later on and has made me lots of hair

Anyone know where to get some scans of egg? download is preferred rather than image dump, every link I found is dead.

>>8984638
So you were doing too many knots/ too small knots. It's very customisable.

>>8985258
There are different sizes? Anyway, I'm too scared to ever do it again. I'll stay with flat hair, a dango or twintails

>>8984553
Try a hairspray that is light weight with strong hold. I'm sorry I don't know any western brands but VOL5 in Japan is perfect for this.

You can always take up hair from the back and twist it and pin it up and back comb that to make it puff then layer hair on top. Thin fine hair is very easy to create volume actually because its so light weight.

if you have a problem with greasy hair try bleaching it. I used to have super greasy hair and since i dyed it blonde it went normal. When it comes to styling, a little damage is good.

Amber/kohaku,she knows how to dress a fuller figure

>>8988502
She doesn't. If you have thighs like that you don't wear hotpants cutting into your fat. Her make is great though.

secrets have been posted https://gyarusecrets.wordpress.com/2016/05/02/secrets-post-2/

>>8989010
when has kohaku had shorts "cutting into her fat"?
She dresses incredibly well and in clothes that actually fit.

you sound like a salty cunt named Rachel

>>8989376
Rachel wouldnt say her make is good tho
Tbh that new secret about kohaku is more likely rachel

You just don't wear shorts/hotpants with this kind of thighs. You wear skirts or dresses.

>>8989933

But, that's fairly common. You do sound pretty damn salty tough.

As the person you guys are talking about... Can u not. It is okay for people to dislike my outfit choices. It’s not going to change the way I dress because I dress how I like, but everyone is entitled to their opinion, and seeing people jump on anons and claim they're my ex just because they're criticising me is really embarrassing. I don't want to be whiteknighted like this. I'd rather not be discussed here at all but the whiteknighting is honestly really awkward to read. If my ex were actually here starting shit then fair enough but... She's not? This is just some people having an opinion. People tend to have those on /cgl/.

So let's talk about something less salty please. Are there any newbies/unknowns in the comm who have impressed or interested you lately? I was really struck by pic related, I don't know who she is but her hair and outfit are gorgeous.

>>8989983 She just wore a d.i.a one piece and got her hair done at a salon; she didn't really put any real effort into her look...

>>8989068
Soo you started a new secrets blog after complaining msy is always late and now this happens for the second time? LOL

>>8990184
Still looks a hell of a lot better than most though. As another anon said before, it's pretty normal not to do your own hairmake in Japan. I still think people should learn to do their own if they can, but if somebody looks good, I don't particularly care how they accomplished it. It’s not as if we have a surplus of high-level gaijin gals.

What new faces have you found more interesting?

Came across this on my tumblr feed and just had to share... they look so perfect.

>>8990252
Whoa, the rokku gal's hair is really something.

>>8989983
I don't really think she's 'new'. I've seen her before in other groups I think. Maybe she's just new to sng.

Also kohaku, your make got perfect! It's so much on point! But seriously think about the hot pants thing. I've massive killer thighs myself (I'm pretty much your body type desu) and it's just not that sexy, cute or good looking to get thighs like that into pants.

>>8990291
Thanks! I've really tried with my makeup since I got back to being more active this year, so I'm glad other people can see the change. I'm not planning to change the shorts though- I love my thick thighs and I love short shorts with thigh squeeze, I've lifted weights and worked hard for the size of my thighs so nobody's going to change my mind about showing them off any time soon. That's not to say that your advice isn't appreciated, I'm just pretty set in my ways on this one.

>>8990203
I posted on Monday so I don't get what you mean? I apologized for being 3 hours late, not 3 or 4 days like Msy.

>>8990291
I am a pretty thin girl and even I get awkward hotpant-thighs, it's just something they do, unless you have 0% fat on your legs it's unavoidable
