Japanese hair related vocabulary - 01-30-2011, 07:06 PM

Hey I can't really find a good sourse to get some hair related vocabulary.

I wanna know the terms used to discribe hair colours, I have some terms...i think...I am not sure about the pronounciation though.

Blonde = 金髪 きんぱつ
Black hair = 黒髪 くろかみ
Brown hair = 茶髪 ちゃぱつ
Red hair = 赤毛 あかけ ????
Grey hair 白髪 はくはつ (does this mean white hair or grey hair or both?)

Are there anymore common colours I should know?

And used in a sentence to say the colour of your hair you would say
私の髪は金髪です right?


I also wanna know hair related verbs...or what words you would use to show that your "doing" these things.

- Wash hair
- Brush hair
- dye hair
- Cut hair

And last but not least, I would like to also know terms used to discribe lenth and appearance of hair such as

- curly hair
- straight hair
- long hair
- short hair

And anything else that will assist me , and anyone else that views this and wants to learn these terms XD thanks in advance. (oh provide kana pronunciation please also thanks)
