Why is the “severed head hair tie” that is currently attracting the most attention so popular? Where did it originate from? We’ve put together the answers to all your questions.
We also introduce many ways to style the “severed head hair tie” other than as a hair tie, so please take a look!
“Severed Head Hair Ties” are fashion items that have a character’s face decorated on the hair tie. They are not officially called “Severed Head Hair Ties”, but are called various names such as “Accessory Ties”, “Face Hair Ties” and “Acrylic Hair Ties”.
When they were first released, they were also called “face hair ties,” but fans started calling them “severed head hair ties,” and in 2023 they were even nominated for the “SNS Buzzword Awards”! Now, they are no longer limited to two dimensions, but have expanded into three dimensions, bringing a new wind to “oshikatsu goods.”
Before the appearance of the severed head hair tie, there were hair ties decorated with deformed character faces and hair ties featuring illustrations of characters from the shoulders up, but items featuring only the face of a sharp, tall character were rare.

The first to release the “severed head hair tie” was none other than “The Prince of Tennis”! It was a collaboration item with “Nanja Town” for “The New Prince of Tennis The Prince Goes Abroad Omnibus Edition”, which ran from April 21 to May 21, 2023. Fans were excited when they found out that the “severed head hair tie” was in the lineup of collaboration goods with “Nanja Town”…!
The “Accessory Rubber Band Collection,” released as a collaboration with “Nanja Town,” features not cute, deformed illustrations of characters, but realistic illustrations of their faces! It’s hard not to make a comment about this. However, there have been many creative goods released so far, such as “Atobe Keigo’s Mirror Stand,” “Sanada Genichiro’s Fundoshi Acrylic Stand,” “Character Masks from Each School,” and “Tenimyu Karuta” from the musical “The Prince of Tennis” (Tenimyu), so some people were convinced by the “severed head hair rubber” goods.
In fact, a similar product to the “Decapitated Head Hair Tie” has been released from “The Prince of Tennis” before! It is “New Prince of Tennis Hair Tie Vol.1”, which was released on June 17, 2022.
This is a cute hair tie that appears in a deformed illustration. Not only the face but also the small and cute hands make it look like they are peeking out. This way you can use it while smiling at the cute appearance of Echizen Ryoma and friends!
Incidentally, hair ties from “Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion” and “Cardcaptor Sakura” were also released at the same time as “The Prince of Tennis.”
Starting with “The Prince of Tennis,” the “severed head hair tie” has been commercialized for a number of series, including “Hypnosis Mic,” “Charisma,” “Yowamushi Pedal,” “Gintama,” “Blue Lock,” and “Nintama Rantaro,” and has become an essential item for your favorite character’s goods. Some fans are looking forward to the commercialization of the “severed head hair tie.”
