Mizuage in Geisha tradition is now often combined with the ceremony of erikae (the act of 'turning the collar' from red (maiko) to white (geisha) ). In some traditions the mizuage ceremony signifies her transition into senior maiko status. In other traditions with the combo of erikae, it signifies the maiko's transition from girlhood into womanhood, and her soon to be debut as a geisha. A party is held for the maiko, and the top-knot of her hair is cut. Maiko hairstyles use the girl's real hair, but geisha wear wigs. The days following, the maiko will make her first debut as a full geisha.
