From the Wikipedia article
The hime cut is a hairstyle consisting of straight, usually cheek-length sidelocks and frontal fringe. The rest of the hair is usually worn long and straightened. The style is thought to have originated, or at least become common, in the Imperial court during 794–1185 CE, when noble women would sometimes grow out their hair for their entire lives.
