I know, this is a really old trend. It's not as popular now as it was around 2000, but there are still some people who live the gyaru lifestyle.
I really like gyaru, though sometmes it seems a little overdone to me.
If anyone else likes gyaru fashion, you can post here <3

Different styles of gyaru:
There are various subcategories of "gals" depending on the choice of fashion, and also gender.
Ganguro gyaru (ガングロギャル): a gal with an artificial deep tan and bleached hair. This style was popular in the late 1990's and early 2000, and while that is no longer the case, There are still a quite a few people who wear this fashion.
Kogyaru: generally a high school student (高校生 kōkōsei).
Mago gyaruo a middle school gal. (中学校 chūgakkō).
Oyajigyaru (オヤジギャル): from oyaji and gyaru. A gyaru who behaves in a masculine way, who drinks beer and uses rough language.
Oneegyaru (お姉ギャル): a gyaru who has graduated from high school, and thus become a more mature onee-san (literally "elder sister" but, here, "young lady"). The style is more sophisticated.
Ogyaru (汚ギャル): a dirty or disheveled gyaru who may forsake daily baths or takes little care in her behaviour and dress, even by gyaru standards.
Gyaruo (ギャル男): the gyaru's male counterpart. See Gyaruo.
Manba (マンバ): deep tan and contrasting white make-up. Their hair is usually pastel-coloured or blonde, and very long and back-combed. Their clothes are neon and layered.
Kigurumin*: wear kigurumi, a type of pajama-suit that resembles an animal and sometimes cartoon characters.
Bibinba (ビビンバ): this look usually includes a lot of gold and jewellery. Similar to b-gal.
Banba (バンバ): Can also be seen as a lighter, brighter form of manba, though they are distinct styles. Banba wear less of the white makeup than manba and wear brighter clothes. Club wear is popular. They also use more glitter, and have a neon touch to their hair. They use more extreme-looking types of false eyelashes and coloured contact lenses. The most respected Gal-cir is Angeleek; there are 22 members in their Tokyo group, and they have many other groups throughout the country.
Kyoba bo-i: the male banba. The make-up is similar to Sentaa-gai's, but the eyes can be made up to look bigger. They accessorize excessively and commonly don bangs.
Himegyaru (姫ギャル): girls who dress as princesses. Hair colours vary from blonde to black and is usually very big and teased. They wear expensive clothing from brands such as Liz Lisa and Jesus Diamante.
Gyaru-kei (ギャル系): Is the modern general gyaru style. It has many substyles such as Amekaji(American Casual), Saike（Psyche), Bohemian, Rokku(Rock), and Haady, which a creation of Egg magazine that includes bright, wild prints tied in with a punk style fashion.

I like the clothing and hair part of this. But having a really deep tan I feel is horribly ugly, especially on asians. I guess its their way to look mexican

It's not so bad if the tanning is kept to a minimal.
that girl is really cute DX Sometimes I wish I were capable of doing my hair pretty like that. ALthough it kind of looks fake from all teh crap shes got in it .
I wouldn't be able to pull it off either lol

I'm honestly not a huge fan of Gyaru but when I see a certain style done well than it looks good. Anything can look cool as long as you pull it off.
I actually might be able to pull off the look in the picture you posted because its not that extreme. But the hardcore Gyaru nahh xD
