Long locks of hair, tanned skin and the long nails are keen to make a statement on the global platform. If this kind of fashion sense appeals to you, well you are one of the Black Diamond women.

This fashion trend is very much there to see on the streets of Japan. This fashion trend has been dubbed as “gal” and is ready to fly in the face of conventional ideas of feminine beauty. The pale skin and black hair trend has its root in the Japan of 1990s. This was the time, when Japanese fashion trends started to evolve. Dying hair brown and going to tanning salons was a hit thing amongst the teen girls in Japan.
