How to Say ‘Your hairstyle is beautiful.’ in Japanese
髪形がきれいですね。
kamigata ga kirei desu ne
[kah-mee-gah-tah gah kee-reh-ee dess neh]
💬 Usage Tip: [髪形] is read [かみがた], not what many learners guess from [髪] alone. It's the usual word for hairstyle, while [髪] by itself just means hair.
🇯🇵 In Japan: Complimenting a hairstyle is common enough, but it can feel a little more personal than praising clothes or accessories. It works best when the context already gives you a reason to comment, like a salon or friendly conversation.
