What are Odango meatballs you may ask. That's a good question and the answer is simple. Odango atama is the hairstyle made famous by anime sensation
Sailor Moon. I believe that in technical terms the name translates as "dumpling head."
Meatballs are just another designation of the same thing, balls of hair formed by tying a carefully placed knot in the hair where pigtails are gathered at the scalp. Be advised that you need a bountiful amount of hair length to pull off this hairstyle. I tried the technique in my mustache but it didn't work worth a dang.
If Sailor Moon is a Halloween masquerade idea that you'd like to try and you want to create the Odango atama hair style on your very own head, you will find
easy to follow instructions for creating the Odango hair style from Renee Scofield.
It looks fairly simple and Renee provides several pictures to help you. I'm sure that any lass who can braid her own hair can create these fine hairy
meatballs. If all else fails and you can't make the odango work, just go for the pigtails, most people will never know the difference.
