Q&A for How to Be a Kawaii Girl

Yes they do but don't waste a lot of money just for lots of kawaii things. Maybe buy a few things then a few months later or when you get more money, you can buy more.

Tell your parents that you can be who you want to be and that you'd appreciate their support. Of course, respect comes first, so speak nicely and tell them it won't cost them money as you'll use your own and improve your existing clothes yourself using DIY fixes. Show them pictures of kawaii to help them to better understand your intentions.

Yes, short hair is great! You can put it into two ponytails if you want but you don't have to.

Any pastel nail polish would work very nicely with a kawaii look, as long as it matches your outfit colors.

Nope! Make-up is more of an optional thing; if you think your outfit is Kawaii enough already then don't wear it, also remember that being natural with your makeup can be Kawaii too!

As long as it doesn't infringe is dress codes, yes. Just be sure to wear something really comfortable because you'll be there for a long time.

Of course -- lots of Kawaii girls have short hair, and still make it rock! You will often see lots of straight hair with bangs on short-haired Kawaii girls.

Glasses are very kawaii. Check out online images of kawaii girls with glasses and you'll see.

Etsy has a lot of kawaii clothing, accessories, and more! Some of it is pastel goth when you search for kawaii, but not much.

No. You can have brown, black, blonde and red or colored hair and still be kawaii. Pastel pink hair is kawaii too.

You need to make your eyes big, but eyeliner that is too thick might get sloppy and not give off a Kawaii impression.

Yes! Thin hair is fine for some Kawaii outfits. Just make sure to style your hair correctly.

Lip size does not matter. Instead, it is recommended to use bright colors of lip gloss\lipstick when trying to look kawaii.

Of course it is. As long as it doesn't fall off during activities. If it does, others will probably laugh at you. But don't mind haters!

Kawaii girls are very innocent. It's okay to be a bit feisty, but too much spice can ruin the image sometimes. Remember to be kind to others, upbeat/happy, and try not to swear too much.

Yes! It does not matter. Find a combination of clothes you like.

If your friends abandon you for being yourself with a fun style, they aren't real friends. You should be surrounded by people who love you no matter what you look like! People are often teased for this style (I've dealt with it for quite a while now), but as time goes by, people accept it and it becomes "normal". Don't listen to the haters, if this style is really you, then go for it!

Only some Kawaii people talk in third person. You want to be cute, not annoying and talking in third person can truly annoy many people, especially if they don't get sub-culture cuteness.

Not all of them but if you want one, just be high pitched for a while and see if it suits you.

Hmm...one of my favorite styles of Kawaii usually consists of an oversized/baggy sweater+skirt, so that could work!

You could do 2 plaits on the side of your hair and leave your bangs out.

Of course they can! Kawaii is a base that's constantly changing. I suggest checking out "pastel goth/emo" artists; the outfits are really cool!

Playing with stuffed animals is very kawaii! Don't worry about toys, it's all about the personality, wit, and charm. If you want, you can buy some cute things as well, but it's not necessary!

Of course! Many kawaii girls are from all over the world, with all different skintones.It doesn't matter where you're from or your hair/skin/eye color. Just be you!

Yes! These do an amazing job of making your eyes look larger, like an anime girl. You can choose some in your natural eye color for a subtle kawaii look, or pick one of the fancy ones in bright, unnatural colors or with glitter for a OTT kawaii look.

Try doing a hairstyle I use. Get a hair tie and fix your hair into a ponytail. When you are wrapping the hair tie for the third time, go a little bit up on the ponytail, then stop there. Be sure not to make the "bun" part too big, because then it will hang from your hair.

You don't have to change yourself, anyone can be kawaii! There's no "sound" to this style. Kawaii is a look and a mentality. You could try speaking in a slightly higher voice if you want, but remember to stay true to yourself, or you'll lose the fun!

Yes, you can - kawaii is mostly about your attitude. However, cheap drugstore makeup works just as well.

Surprisingly, this is most popular with teens and adults now! But really, you can be whatever age you want. If this style is really you, than let it be!

Only if the person you want to call those names, agrees with what you want to call them.
