Hello, everyone. So today i have six new anime inspired hairstyles that were requested by you guys through my instagram, and some of these are my favorite characters ever from some of my favorite series and favorite movies. So i'm really excited to share this with you guys and as always, thank you so much for chiming in and leaving me your requests make sure you follow me on instagram princess may. If you want a chance to request future hairstyles for anyone of my upcoming hairstyle video and a quick little announcement, i have something really exciting coming up in collaboration with fanola and that's what this really amazing beautiful box is in the background, and you guys will hear All about it during the launch, all right so for our first hairstyle. This is going to be the hairstyle for mitsuha from your name or kimi, no nawa. So first i'm just splitting my hair in half and i'm french braiding both sides down until halfway through my hair and then i'm securing that off with an elastic and my hair is actually a lot longer than mitsuha's is so. This hairstyle looks a little bit different on me so, depending on how long your hair is you're going to get a more accurate result, then from the back i'm taking both of the braids and i'm holding it against my head, i'm securing these two braids together into One and i'm tightening it off with an elastic, then i'm removing my previous elastics and letting the hair flow and then from here on i'm just taking a bunch of bobby pins and securing this in place at the base. Then mitsuha uses her signature red cord to tie off her hair, but for my version, i'm taking a white ribbon and i'm tying this around the base into a simple bow and that's it for this hairstyle. This is actually one of my favorite movies of all time. So i was really excited to show my take on it and honestly it turned out really freaking cute. To be honest, when i was watching the scene of her putting her hair up in the morning, i was like what the hell is going on. What are you doing, but surprisingly, it translates really well in real life, especially when the ponytail moves around, and you can see this really intricate double braided design in the back. I think it looks really amazing so for our next hairstyle i'm going to be doing princess euphemia from code ghias, and this was really highly requested. So first i am sectioning off about two inches of hair from the front and i'm leaving that in front of my ear, because she has a bit of an asymmetric look and then i'm sectioning, a pretty large portion of hair from above my ear to the tip Of my head and then i'm twisting this away from my face and yuffie has so much hair, so i'm creating a lot of volume in this twist and then i am really loosely wrapping it around itself. You really want to be as loose and as gentle as possible, so that this gives you a really fluffy bun and then just taking some bobby pins. I'M securing this in place and then again i'm repeating this on the other side and then to complete the asymmetric. Look that she has i'm just sectioning off one half of my bangs and i'm pinning that away and that's it for this hairstyle. I love how this turned out actually, because it looks so fluffy by using this method of creating really voluminous buns. You can sort of mimic the look of having a lot of hair all right for our next two hairstyles we're going to go into one of my favorite childhood series, and that is utena. And so i'm going to be doing a hairstyle inspired by anthomia. By taking a small section of hair in the front, i'm pulling this away and i'm twisting it away from my face as i'm adding more hair, then once i reach the nape of my neck, i am very very loosely twisting the rest of my hair and then Grabbing the ends, i'm twisting it upwards and then i'm just curling this upwards, all the way until it reaches the top of my head and then it sits into a little rose looking spiral and then it creates sort of a tunnel of hair. So i'm inserting bobby pins on both sides of the tunnel to keep this securely in place, and then i'm just repeating this on the other side and because ximena mia has a crown as part of her outfit, i'm just replicating that with a purled headband. Instead and that's it for this hairstyle, i really loved how this one turned out and i really love how it still looks a little bit messy and a little bit casual at the same time, but it still looks elegant. So i love how this hairstyle is. All of those things combined then moving into our next hairstyle from uttana, i'm doing nanami's braided crown so i'm sectioning off about two inches of hair at the nape of my neck and then i'm braiding that off and then i'm gently tugging on each side to give It more volume before securing that off with an elastic and then i'm repeating on the other side for two braids and if you noticed um. This part of my hair is actually shorter than the rest of my hair, because i had a completely shaved undercut, probably like over three years ago, then starting with the green side, because i want this to be underneath the pink. I am just bringing this over my head and then i'm tucking this behind my ear and then, while holding the green braid in place, i'm picking up the pink braid, overlapping, the green and then tucking the end of the pink behind the green braid. To hide the ends and then just taking some bobby pins, i'm securing this in place, mainly behind my ears. I think, just with my split hair, it looks like ridiculously cool like i would have never thought to do this hairstyle with a split color um, but it ends up looking so amazing. It creates this really cool ombre crown for this year. Can we just bring split hair back into style? Like can everyone get split hair for our next hairstyle, i'm going to be doing otahime from okami-san, toshiti, nino, nakamatachi or okami-san, and her seven companions? So, first, taking my thumb, i'm sectioning off a portion of hair from the top of my ear to the tip of my head and i'm creating a small pigtail and then taking the rest of the hair. That'S left over! I'M gathering that and creating another high pigtail, and then i'm just repeating this on the other side, so that i have four pigtails in total and then taking my top two pigtails, i'm braiding those off into regular three strand braids and securing them off with an elastic And for the ends i tied those into little bundles to tuck the ends in so that they're easier to hide later on. I totally messed up filming the pink side, so i'm going to show you guys with the second side, the green side, but basically i'm just taking one of my braids and i'm folding it into threes onto itself. So it creates sort of a ribbon looking loop and then i'm taking a second elastic and entering from the bottom. I'M just tying this off to secure everything in place and then she has cute little white ribbons. So i'm just taking some ribbon clips and i'm adding this in the center to hide the elastic and that's it for this hairstyle. Okay, it's ridiculous like this hairstyle is so cute. I love how it gives the illusion of double bows. So the hair looks like it's a bow, but also you have the bow on top all right for our last hairstyle. This has got to be the most requested, hairstyle that i've ever got for all of the times that i've ever opened up requests. I have always been asked to recreate violet's hairstyle from violet evergarden, and this hairstyle is pleasantly simple. To do all i'm going to do is just braid both sides of my hair into french braids and then from the back. I'M just looping it tightly around itself and hiding the ends of the hair underneath the bun and then with four bobby pins one in each direction. I'M inserting this into the bun to keep this super securely in place, and then i'm just going to repeat on the other side and totally just ignore the bruises on my back. I went snowboarding for the first time because of skate infinity and i'm still recovering, and everything is just pain anyway, getting back into it. Violet has these two red ribbons dangling at the bottom of her buns, and i decided to put my own spin on it. So taking these thin pink ribbons, i'm just wrapping around the entire bun and tying those off into bows instead, and i would just like to apologize - oh my god, i'm so sorry it looks so messy. I always check my hairstyles from the back with a mirror. Honestly, i was probably just really tired and that's how i missed those bobby pins sticking out in the end. I still did feel incredibly cute in this hairstyle. I love how dainty it looks and i love the dangling ribbons in the back. I feel like it's so romantic, especially when you have two of them, so that's it for this video. I hope you guys enjoyed. Thank you so much for leaving your request on instagram for our third installment of anime inspired hairstyles and, of course, there's always going to be more to come. When i put those stories up, i really do look through every single request that comes in and that's how i pick what to do for these videos. So as always, thank you guys so much for watching. I hope you guys are excited for my collaboration and i will see you guys again next time.

shani ofer: I tried the first hairstyle and It came out so cute! but I did it slightly different, since the first method didn't work to me. Instead of straight up bringing the pony tail to the center of my head, i first tied it at the bottom with a big elastic band. It made my hair more steady while using the elastic and bobby pins, and wasn't seen at all :)

Annalise Hatchett: Imagine being a real life anime girl doh

random comment: Hope I could become this good at doing my hair someday❣

KnickKnackPatty: These look super cute! Would you ever make instructional videos on how to french braid on the side and or how you hold and insert bobby pins to actually keep stuff in place (or what kinds of bobby pins and elastica you use to actually keep these elaborate hairstyles in place?)? (Or do they exist and I just haven't found them yet?)
