Becoming Gyaru

*Disclaimer- These Ideas are not my own but I took them as guidelines for this style. They were created by Mitsu from Universal Doll. She is truly a great asset to the gyaru community and has wonderful info on her blog.*


1. Choose a style you like most or magazines you indentify with. If you don't know what styles are out there then research is required. Google or any search engine are your best friends :)

2. Search the net to find the most recent pictures of your favorite style or styles and save them for reference.

3. Study what Gal is and is not. Do not attempt gal if you have ANY negative thoughts/feelings
- Gal is a fashion movement
- Gal is constantly evolving
- Gal must be constantly improved
- Gal is VERY Broad
- Gal is NOT cosplay

4. Buy lots of magazines and find your favorite gal models.
 - Start an 'I love this' board/list to begin coordinating outfits

5. Go shopping for what you don't have to complete your look.
 - Dress for your body type and age
 - Wear circle lenses and false lashes
 - Be a fashion editor to your closet and work with what you got and then build upon it gradually

6. Learn to do Gal makeup

7.  Learn to do Gal hairstyles

8. Put everything together and be wild, sexy, confident yet humble and improve yourself. Confidence is key to ANY style. 

9.  Stay up to date on the latest styles and trends. 

10. Practice makes perfect!
- Practice walking in heels
- Practice your makeup and hair
- Don't be afraid of going over the top!

11. Present yourself completely when seeking advice/criticism
- Your hair, makeup and nails are done
- Your coords were well chosen
- You have accessories
