Veggie-Inspired Hairdos

A Japanese Hair Salon Came up with This Chic 'Ripe Tomato' Look

— April 28, 2013 — Fashion
This 'Ripe Tomato' hairdo is perfect for anybody who has ever wanted to put a little veggie into their fashion.

The Ripe Tomato hairdo is seriously one of the most clever and fun hairstyles I've seen in a long time. The Ripe Tomato is the creation of a Japanese hairstylist that goes by Hiro who works an Osaka based hair salon called the 'Trick Store.' Given how hipster the Ripe Tomato is, it's no surprise that the hair salon is located in Amemura, a distrcit widely known in Osaka as the general destination for Osaka's hipster use, according to Kotaku.com. The Ripe Tomato trend hasn't truly taken off yet, but given how awesome it looks, it wouldn't surprise me one bit to see the hairdo take off on both sides of the Pacific Ocean.
Trend Themes
1. Veggie-inspired Hairdos - The rise of creative and unique hairstyles inspired by vegetables presents an opportunity for hair salons to differentiate themselves and offer a new form of self-expression for customers.
2. Hipster Hair Trends - With the increasing popularity of hipster culture and alternative lifestyles, hair salons can capitalize on the demand for unconventional hairdos and create a niche market for themselves.
3. Cultural Fusion Hairdos - The Ripe Tomato hairdo showcases how cultural fusion in fashion can inspire creativity and innovation in hairstyling, presenting salons with the chance to offer new and exciting looks that reflect diverse cultural values.
Industry Implications
1. Hair Salons and Stylists - Hair salons and stylists can benefit from incorporating unique and trendy hairstyles, such as veggie-inspired hairdos, into their service offerings, creating a distinctive brand image and attracting new customers.
2. Fashion and Beauty - As the fashion and beauty industry increasingly embraces unconventional and alternative styles, hair trends like the Ripe Tomato open up new possibilities for brands to experiment with creative and unique looks that cater to a wider audience.
3. Cultural and Artistic Industries - The rise of cultural fusion hairstyles reflects a growing interest in incorporating diverse cultural perspectives into creative expression, offering opportunities for the cultural and artistic industries to explore new forms of self-expression and aestheticism.
