Old school ''yamanba'' featured deep tans and white lipstick, pastel eye makeup, tiny metallic or glittery adhesives below the eyes, brightly colored [[circle lenses]], vibrant clothing, and incongruous accessories, such as Hawaiian ''leis''. While yamanba faded in popularity it also started to become more extreme, with multicolored and usually synthetic hair. ''Manba'' in 2008 saw a darker tan, and no facial stickers. Hair was usually neon/bright colors, with pink being a favorite. Wool-emulating dreadlocks, extensions, and clips were worn to make the hair appear longer. Clothing remained the same, although ''leis'' were worn less frequently.<ref name="jmrlsi1"/> The male equivalent is called a Sentaa Guy (''センターガイ''),<ref>{{Cite web |last=makoto |title=センターGUYとは?歴史や特徴を紹介! {{!}} ギャルチャー |url=https://galture.com/gal-o/guy.html |access-date=2023-12-24 |website=galture.com |language=ja}}</ref> a pun on the name of a popular pedestrian shopping street near [[Shibuya Station]] in Tokyo called {{nihongo|[[Center Gai]]|センター街|Sentā-gai}}.
