This is a styled called "funky jap" ( I didn't name it that!), and features a large Japanese inspired updo with an elaborate hair ornament knotted on top. Very beautiful and unique. A great style to wear with kimono for geisha costumes or kabuki. The color is in a deep dark onyx black. Its not flat like some black hair styles are, and it doesnt have that fake grayish sheen that others do.
