Hair Flower

Hair flowers are a traditional way to incorporate a sense of elegance or nature into an anime character's design. It can range from a single lily hiding behind an ear to a kanzashi floral arrangement styled into a traditional hairpiece. It's a detail that suggests a sense of grace or a connection to a particular season.

The visual style for hair flowers is typically characterized by a texture for the petals and a hint of light on the dewy details. Character designers will frequently utilize hair flowers to frame a face in a close-up portrait, and they'll add sharp lines to define each petal. And let's be honest, a pop of floral color in a character's hair is a very aesthetically pleasing phone lockscreen.
