It takes half an hour to put the make-up on and wig on and then a special man comes to put the kimono on.

To wear the kimono properly for a long time I need a man's hands to tighten it.

Geiko wear a wig because this hairstyle needs long hair – it's not suitable for modern life. And it needs a lot of oil, so real hair doesn't stay up for long.
