Bandai has teamed up with cosmetics company Vina to co-develop a new line of hair styling color waxes inspired by the characters from the hit anime series Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. They will be released in Japan on March 30, 2020 – see the Information selection below to see where you can get your hands on them.
The anime community erupted when Demon Slayer aired last year, a series praised all around for its story, visuals, and even the characters’ fashion. The latter proved especially popular with women in Japan who flocked to hair salons to get their hair styled like the characters in the series.
This has now been made even easier for fans of the anime series with the release of seven hair styling color waxes inspired by seven popular characters from the show. No water or shampoo is needed, and neither is commitment as these waxes can be washed out on the same day.
The colors make even the darkest hair styles stand out bright.
A sequel film, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train, is set to release sometime this year. So get yourself some styling color wax and cosplay your favourite character from the best-selling series.
