One influencer who’s been catching my eye lately is Amane Taniguchi. After making her mark in the Japanese modeling scene, she’s now appearing in international fashion collections and turning heads with her quiet yet undeniable presence.

Her signature look? Sleek black hair, a center part, and a naturally effortless hairstyle that enhances her striking features. In a time when light, bleached hair dominated trends, Amane’s darker, more natural color stands out—and many are starting to follow suit.

In fact, more people are now embracing natural tones and subtle textures over dramatic color. We’re also seeing a rise in styles that use bangs to shift facial impressions, creating a fresh, refined look without drastic changes.

With summer approaching, now might be the perfect time to try a softer, more natural hairstyle inspired by Amane’s minimalist elegance.
