For headgear out of armor, powerful samurai (daimyô/shugo or their important retainers) would wear eboshi, a cap of black silk gauze stiffened with a black lacquered paper lining. The cap was held in place either by a white cord, or was pinned to the samurai's topknot. The size and shape of the cap was largely dependant on the samurai's rank, though the use of eboshi was reserved for only the most formal of events by the 16th Century.

Traditionally, married women often [[haguro|blackened their teeth]], and after having their first child shaved their eyebrows and drew them back in higher up on the forehead.<ref name=mostow20/> This was originally a practice of Heian period court ladies, but eventually spread to the lower classes.
