Himegyaru still remains one of the more popular styles of gyaru, and is particularly popular with those moving from lolita style to gyaru style.

Hair still remains big in general but more and more gals are seen with long curls down without the beehive. In addition to this development in hairstyles, black and dark brown hair colours are seen more often than they used to.

There are a number of brands that are still immensely popular with himegyaru, such as Liz Lisa, La Parfait, Jesus Diamante, Tralala and Princess Melody.
