日本髪
Historical Japanese hairstyles that traditionally denoted an aspect of the wearer's identity, such as their age, societal status or marital status. 

Most nihongami styles are formed with a wax known as abura.

Outside of Japan, the most distinguishable nihongami is that of [[geisha]] and [[oiran]], given their elaborate designs, such as the large [[datehyogo]] style.
