    Ops, we European tend to have natural light hair. Brown and blonde are pretty common. And with different textures (mine for example is natural curly).
    In some countries as long as you look tidy, you can get a job. In England you can be a policeman or a businnessman with pink hair and dreads. And people will still take you seriously (I saw this with my own eyes while I was in England).
    In Norway there is a policeman (a chief) that has long hair.

      In Sweden we had a finance minister with long hair like 6 years ago or something, he was really good. Even my dad who was at the opposite political spectrum liked him :p
      In Sweden we care more about your willingness and eagerness to learn the job and how you would fit into the group personalitywise than looks or grades. At least at the places I have worked at this has been the case.

    The idea of those companies is "don't dye your hair", not "you have to have black hair". And like she said, this is a great generalization.
    People should be able to choose their own hairstyles and hair colors. I agree 100 percent.

    Okay, I can breathe a sigh of relief! I'm currently learning Japanese and plan on moving there some time in a few years; when you mentioned hair needing to be black I started to wonder if, as a foreigner, that I would need to dye my hair black. I'm perfectly fine with cutting my hair for a job. Not the color per say. Thanks for the info!

    I would not last, Along with my 10 tattoos, though there all hidable except a leaf on the side of my neck... My hair (what i have left) is Purple, orange & olive green. The sides & back are shaved cleane, the top is colored in stripes, braided in cornrows, and about 14 inches long..I change the color about every 4 months... in about a week it's going to be Lemon yellow, Teal Blue, and.... I'm thinking hot pink... Pink isn't really my color, but i did it last year and it blended quite pretty with the yellow...

  • @o6ina
    @o6ina Před 6 lety +8

    Nice video. Can you please make one about the bicycler rules in Japan. It seems to me that there are no rules at all, and if there are, nobody bothers to follow them, especially when the cyclists ride on the pedestrian walks. Back home I am very conscious about the motorized traffic, but here its the okaa-sans with big heavy bikes that scare me the most. Last year one pushed me with the side of her bike so hard, that I fell and she didn't even turn to see if I am alright, just sped away. A friend told me, that Japanese parents always warn their kids not to ride on the street, and that is why they use the pedestrian walks, even if there isn't a sign that permits it. So, what are the pedestrian vs. cyclist's rights in Japan.

  • @DanStrohschein

    Interesting. What if your hair is naturally...red...for example? I went to school with a Japanese student and they had red hair (well not European red, but a dark brown/red that was a color that they had in their family). Would they be expected to dye their hair?

    @Labas92 Před 5 lety +1

    Like many I used to be somewhat of a weeb when I was a teen, wanted to study in japan and everything. Good thing we grow up, because every year that passes Japan seems more and more miserable in my head. To the point that sometimes I'm glad I wasn't born yamato japanese in Japan, even though I'm from an emerging country. I guess that's how much being an individual is important for me.

  • @Saknika
    @Saknika Před 6 lety +1

    I'm a little surprised about the school thing, because black hair dye allergy is a thing, and you can acquire it from using black hair dye too much. Abby from NCIS was hospitalized because of it. Japan seems so health conscious that I would figure they'd take that into consideration.

  • @tadashihatsudai
    @tadashihatsudai Před 6 lety +3

    Most of the time, these rules only take Japanese people into consideration. A foreigner with naturally brown or blonde hair doesn't give off a similar impression to that of a Japanese, or any East Asian appearing, individual who dyes their naturally dark hair into a lighter color. So a person who appears to be Japanese who dyed their hair blonde is considered someone who is non-conforming. Whereas someone who appears to be European or from the US isn't going to show a similar impression because it's their natural hair color or assumed that their dyed blonde hair is natural.

  • @DominikSpilka
    @DominikSpilka Před 6 lety

    What about eyebrows? From what I understood, black hair is usually required because people with japanese origin have black hair genetically. If your natural hair colour were blond, you'd have blond eyebrows as well. Is it okay to dye just hair, or do you need to dye your eyebrows as well?

  • @AuroraLalune
    @AuroraLalune Před 6 lety

    If the school did that to blonds there hair would be so horrendously damaged... blond is often thinner to begin with. strands would break more and likely fall out in large part: that school is completely messed up.
    I used to dye my hair black because my natural hair is two toned(it's a random scottish/irish thing mostly): My eyebrows and my hair don't match-among other things. I had to stop. It was damaging my hair. I'm just that dirty blond that often looks brown or light brown unless in certain lighting... yet I had to deal with that full on.
    I'm glad I stopped though because now I'm fighting my hair breaking and falling out because of hashimotos(it's named after a Japanese doctor who discovered it), an auto immune disorder. My immune system is attacking my thyroid. It causes problems. If i had to deal with both causes I'm fairly sure I'd be bald or something by this point.

  • @mariavictoriasalita5273

    Hair color really counts a lot specifically in traditional and non-conformist environments. Japanese people and mostly Asians generally have back and straight hair and majority of Asian countries are conservative- hence, they kind of stick to these kinds of norms, although more often they appear to be very judgemental.
