Types of Gyaru

Note for beginners girls who don't yet know what they want to represent Gyaru subcategories.

Here is a list:

Hime Gyaru - style girl into a princess. The cabinet is dominated by their dresses, heels, pearls and all in pastel colors.

Amuro - girls who want to look like a Japanese R&B - Namie Amuro - sunkissed skin, light brown curls and wearing short skirts and high boots.

Kogal/Kogyaru -  highschool girls who follow gal style by altering school uniforms, dying hair and tanning their skin.

Yamamba - It is characterized by the panda-style makeup. Heavily tanned, white shadows under the eyes, on the mouth and the center of the nose. Dress is very colorful, almost neon-style Hawaii. Hair as the most colorful.

Banba - is lighter version of Manba. Banba wear lighter clothes and require less white "miscellaneous" on the face, but wouldn't give up interesting colors on the head.

Manba - or (in my opinion) something between the Banba and Yamamba. Dyed her hair blonde or white, colored clothes, a tan and make-up panda.

B-Gal -  girls who dress in the style of hip-hop. They have clothes in the style of reggae.B-gal can be tanned or not. In this sub-category of Gyaru - Dancehall is very popular.

Ganguro - similar to Yamamby, everything in neon, colorful and accessories with cartoon etc.

Rasuta Gyaru - Rasta style is big in Japan so of course it is big in GAL style also, characterized by Jamaican flags, red-green-yellow, Bob Marley, and lots of straw handbags or hemp clothing. Not to be confused with B-Gyaru but can be sort of a spin-off also.

Onee Gyaru - look a'la older sister. Most girls are already at 25 (or earlier) years, who want to be a little calm. Toned color hair blond and brown. Dress rather less noisily, elegantly and subtly.

Himekaji - Hime Gyaru in the casual version.

Gyaru-kei - this subcategories doesn't require a tan and is divided into many categories, the most common ones are:

- Amekaji - american brand casual wear. Often found in Egg magazine.

- Romantic Gal - sweet romantic clothes.

- Bohemian - long dress with flowers, vest or fur and hat.

- Rokku-Rock - more of the claw style (rock).

There are many other categories, but I think these are some of the most popular.

I hope that each will find something for themselves.
