"Juni hitoe" means "12 layers" but royal juni hitoes could have more than 20 layers!

Since heian women admired long, open and rich black hair they should've done something to her hair in this video :/

I had wondered why 12. It makes sense now, since the Japanese are so aware of nature and the changing seasons.
