Japanese hair related vocabulary
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) |

白髪 - 辞書すべて - goo辞書 I cannot be sure which is most common/proper, but I can say I have only seen/heard しらが used. |

Also to add, I've heard both はくはつ And しらが but I too don't know what one is used more.... |

Both are correct. It's the classic 大和言葉 vs. 漢語 issue.
白髪のおっさん = しらが 白髪の紳士 = はくはつ "Darn, I'm getting grey hair!" = しらが Frequency-wise, one would hear しらが considerably more often. |
Sorry, guys, I guess my 漢語 is just so much more elite than yours ;)
