Hime cut (姫カット Hime katto) (literally princess cut in Japanese) is a hairstyle consisting of straight usually cheek-length sidelocks and frontal fringe. The rest of the hair is usually worn long and straightened. As the name suggests the style is thought to have originated or at least become common in the Imperial court during the Heian Period of Japanese history when noble women would sometimes grow out their hair for their entire lives.
