A quick stroll through the streets of Tokyo, a glance at any men's dept in a drug store or a flip through a J boy's mag will quickly reveal that hair is a big deal in this city, so we thought it about time we offered up some hair advice according to the Tokyo boys.
edge - creating frames and shape by forming points and pieces with the hair.
Why? This style is created to give the appearance of a smaller looking face - girls like smaller faces (??)
omome - meaning heavy. In the past volume was a no no but it seems recently the the boys have been leaving the volume and just snipping off the length.
Why? Gives the appearance of a perm (the root perm is a popular service here, a sure fire way to get more air in your hair)
muzosa - the easiest way to define this is 'bed hair'. This look requires super styling in an attempt to look completely unstyled and almost disheveled.
Why? Gives the 3D, manga look.
tsuyakan - meaning shiny hair is a ploy to pull the chicks.
Why? Girls don't like dry looking hair, so the smooth, silky look is important.

J Edge: Hair is the part of the body. There are feelings touching those.
J Omome: They hate more hair damages after changing their color.
J Muzosa: The heritage of Junichiro Koizumi
J Tsuyakan: Essentially, dry hair means clean and gloss hair means containing their sweat and oil, in the humid place.
