When discussing the appearance of “homebody girls,” what kind of stereotypes do people usually hold? Recently, Japanese netizens have sparked a discussion about “common hairstyles of homebody girls”, which has resonated with many and sparked intense debate. This topic not only attracted a large amount of agreement, but many homebody girls also admitted that their hairstyles fit these descriptions. However, upon investigating the underlying reasons, many people found that these hairstyles are not limited to homebody girls.
Many people believe that these hairstyles are more like a choice made by women who do not wish to spend time or money on grooming and dressing up. Therefore, whether or not they are homebody girls, as long as they are unwilling to invest too much energy in their hairstyles, they often end up with such hairstyles. Now, let’s explore what is meant by “common homebody girl hairstyles.”
Recently, a Japanese netizen with the nickname “Kirati Aho-Ke” shared two types of popular otaku girl hairstyles online, which quickly sparked heated discussions and received over forty thousand likes.
These hairstyle descriptions are so accurate that many netizens expressed “Isn’t that just me?”
First, let’s take a look at the most widely recognized otaku girl hairstyle: long hair casually draped over the shoulders, not meticulously styled, with a slight natural curl, usually paired with a pair of glasses.
This kind of pairing seems to represent the standard configuration of an otaku girl in people’s impressions. Netizens have expressed their opinions,
This hairstyle is really quite common.
That one on the left is really super common to see!
Even those girls who usually like to dress up sometimes feel too lazy to manage their hair, or just washed their hair, and tend to look like this. As long as there are no plans to go out, a simple and easy hairstyle looks clean and tidy without any burden.
The second common hairstyle for homebodies is a simple ponytail or bun.
This hairstyle is simple and easy to manage, can be completed quickly, and is especially suitable for those who do not want to spend too much time on their hair. For many stay-at-home girls or busy working women, this hairstyle is both simple and convenient, allowing for ease in daily life with just a quick tie. Netizens have commented:
Because this hairstyle is the easiest.
No matter how I look at it, I seem like Hange and Levi, so melancholic.
In addition to the visual impression brought by hairstyle, these discussions also reveal some stereotypes about women’s appearance in contemporary society and the self-identity that arises from it. Many people express their personality through hairstyles, which also reflect their choices regarding their attitude towards life.
Some netizens joked:
Huh? When did I ask someone to help me paint a portrait? Haha
That was close; I almost had to sue you for violating my portrait rights.
Through this topic, we not only see the social labeling of the ‘homebody’ group, but it also triggers a reflection—everyone should have the freedom to choose how to present themselves. Regardless of the hairstyle chosen, the most important thing is alignment with one’s inner self. There is no need to change because of external opinions; as long as one feels comfortable and free, why not live for oneself?
These seemingly easy discussions actually reflect a more complex social psychological phenomenon, revealing on one hand the widespread existence of “homebody” girls or simple hairstyles, and reminding us on the other hand that we should adopt a more open and inclusive attitude towards any stereotypes.
Do we have friends around us who fit this “standard homebody hairstyle”?
