Explaining the gyaru age groups!

I do this because I know that this can get confusing for a lot of people and some gals say ‘my fav substyle is kogal!’ When kogal is not a substyle!

Chibigyaru

The term chibigyaru applies for gals who are 12 and under! Chibigals are usually influenced and seen with their gyaru mamas! Chibigals usually have little to no makeup and dress casual.

Magogyaru

Magogals are gyarus who are aged 13 to 15! They are not yet in high school but are teenagers!

Kogyaru

Aka kogal, kogal is a term for gals who are 15- 18! To be specific, gals in high school. Japanese gals sometimes pair their uniforms with their gyaru makeup and look, which is why kogyaru is easily mistakes as a substyle. It is not a substyle though, it is an age group!

Obaagyaru

Obaagals are usually older gals, typically grandmas!

The gyaru substyles !!

I am doing only a handful of some of the most popular ones, there is tons of different substyles! Don’t feel limited to these if you want to become a gal!

Gyaru was made to prevent catcalling and rebel against Japanese beauty standards. The point is to look unappealing, but NOT ugly!

himegyaru !

hime gals usually have a lot of pink and lace. Himegyaru is NOT the same as himekaji. Himekaji is similar, just more casual than himegyaru. Hime means ‘princess’ in Japanese, so the literal English translation of hime gyaru is ‘princess gyaru’. Hime is not only pink, but assorted with softer colors like pastels. Hime is also assorted with big hair and accessories. The focus of hime is to stay innocent and cute, creating the princess aspect of the whole look. Makeup for himegyaru is very classic, with enhancement on the eyes and soft lip colors.

Agejo

Agejo is short for ‘Ageha Lady’ and is inspired by the Ageha Magazine! This style is more found on older gyarus, not often younger because of the mature status of the style. Aspects of lingerie and tight clothing are usually incorporated into the look, as the look is influenced by expressing a high level of s3x appeal. The hair is usually long and curly, with makeup having heavy emphasis on heavy liner and thick eyelashes.

Manba !

Manba is alongside yamanba, both styles that developed from ganguro (ganguro is not a substyle!) manba places a focus on ‘kawaii culture’ and pastel colors originally. Manba and yamanba are very similar, where as the most obvious difference is that Yamanba will have white eye makeup above the eye, while manba will have white makeup both above and below the eye. Yamanba usually has darker tans and bleached hair, though tsuyome manba will sometimes include these element too (I’ll talk about different tans another time). Manba has characteristics like heavy white makeup around eyes, nose and lips, hair often bleached blonde or unnatural colors, bright and colorful clothing, etc.

Amekaji!

Amekaji translates to ‘American casual’. It is inspired by the fictional stereotype of America, and is known to be very bright, colorful, loose and casual. Characteristics of Amekaji include bold prints, cute patterns and slogan tees, hats like baseball caps and beanies, dresses aren’t seen often but jeans, shorts and skirts are. Flat shoes, necklaces bangles and belts. Hair is often bleached or brown, tan ranging light to medium, and makeup is usually simple gyaru makeup.

Rokku !

Rokku incorporates elements of rock and visual kei. This sub style doesn’t require a tan, and is different from other gyaru substyles because of the color scheme. Rokku opts for darker colors and blacks instead of the usual flashy bright colors. The hair can be any color you like, a lot of rokku gals prefer darker colors like reds and blacks. The makeup focuses on heavy dark eyes and Smokey looks, as well as dark lips sometimes. Rokku gyaru fashion hasn’t evolved much compared to other substyles, and has remained true to its origins.

How to support Palestine in the war!

1. Don’t buy from Israeli brands or brands that benefit Israel. For example, some of those brands are McDonalds, Bath and Body Works, Krispy Kreme donuts, Chanel, Burger King, Pizza Hut, etc. there are many more brands but I am unable to list all of them. You can buy from brands that originate and support Palestine instead. Some of those brands are Ben & Jerry’s, Huda Beauty, Inaash, PaliRoots, Farsali, etc.

2. Donate to organizations and other people that fund to Palestine. If you are unable to donate, then just spread information and posts about the war and how it affects life in Palestine. Even a repost could help those in need. Some organizations to donate to include Gaza Emergency Appeal, Zakat, etc.

3. There are some songs that send funds to Palestine.

Please keep in mind that I am NOT Palestinian or affected by the war in any way. I am from the United States with no Palestinian or middle eastern background at all. If any of my info is incorrect, do not be afraid to correct me.
