Adding Elegance and Playfulness to Your Hair: A Guide to Using Hairpin for Adult Women

3 de noviembre de 2025

Hair accessories are magical items that enrich everyday styling. Especially the "Hairpin (Majeste)" is a strong ally for adult women due to its elegance and ease of use. This time, we will introduce three new TAMARUSAN Kanzashi Barrettes that look beautiful with both Japanese and Western attire. We'll share their charms and plenty of stylish ways to use them.

What is a Hairpin Barrette (Majeste)?

A "Hairpin Barrette" or "Majeste" is a hair accessory that integrates a clasp (like a barrette) for holding hair and a stick (like a kanzashi) for inserting. The barrette secures the hair, and the kanzashi stick is then inserted, making it easy to enjoy a stable hairstyle that won't easily fall apart.

1. Elegant Hair Ornament of Fabric and Resin｜Hand-Painted Hydrangea Motif

Fabric and Resin Hydrangea Motif Kanzashi Barrette

This Kanzashi Barrette with a hydrangea motif is so delicate it's almost like a corsage, gently adorning your hair. The hydrangeas are made with fabric and transparent resin on a compressed felt base, a masterpiece where the artist has carefully hand-painted the patterns one by one. Though small, its presence is outstanding.

Recommended for:

Those who prefer an elegant and calm atmosphere.
Those who subtly want to incorporate a seasonal touch into Japanese attire (Kimono/Yukata).
Those who want a little accent for their everyday updo.

Stylish Ways to Use:

For Japanese Attire: Insert it next to or behind a chignon (bun) to complete a modest yet gorgeous Japanese style. Perfect for Yukata.
For Everyday Use: Layer it over the knot of a half-up style, or use it as an accent for a simple ponytail. Its elegant design blends seamlessly into office wear.

2. Stylish Design for Adult Japanese Attire｜Fabric Butterfly Motif (Green)

"Fabric Butterfly Motif Kanzashi Barrette"

This elegant butterfly motif Kanzashi Barrette is made of fabric in an impressive deep green. It creates a serene yet glamorous atmosphere, gracefully coloring the hair of an adult woman. Its greatest feature is the 2-way specification, allowing the kanzashi stick to be used independently.

Recommended for:

Those who like distinctive designs.
Those who want to look mature with deep colors.
Those who want to enjoy various arrangements with a single item.

Stylish Ways to Use:

For Japanese Attire: Secure the hair with the barrette and insert the stick to highlight the butterfly motif. The resin parts containing beads from the Ramune series (green) transmit light, creating an illusory depth. Matching it with the color of your kimono or yukata obi (sash) will further enhance the sense of unity.
For Everyday Use: Use it as a Majeste for a half-up or ponytail. Alternatively, you can remove the kanzashi stick and use the barrette alone to clip your bangs, or use only the kanzashi stick for a simple updo, switching them based on your mood or the occasion.

3. A 2-Way Barrette for Adults, Featuring Silk, Ribbon, and a Butterfly Motif

"Silk and Ribbon Butterfly Motif Kanzashi Barrette"

This modern design features a barrette covered in elegant purple silk on a compressed felt base, wrapped with a unique black ribbon. The set includes a butterfly motif kanzashi stick, which can also be used alone, making it another convenient 2-way type. The silver and light blue colors in the transparent resin create a delicate beauty.

Recommended for:

Those who love a sophisticated, urban Japanese-modern style.
Those who are particular about texture.
Those looking for an item that can be used for both special occasions and daily life.

Stylish Ways to Use:

For Special Occasions: The combination of silk luster, ribbon, and the butterfly motif makes it perfect for glamorous events like weddings and parties. Using it as a finishing touch for an up-do (like yakai-maki) or braided arrangement is sure to turn heads.
For Everyday Use: Pairing it with casual wear instantly adds elegance. When using only the barrette (without the stick), simply placing it on the knot of a simple ponytail adds a modern flair. Inserting just the butterfly kanzashi stick on the side is also lovely.
