1. 28 of K-Pop's best braids, craziest cornrows and luscious locks

K-Pop idols always have some pretty magical hair, as they take on any and every hairstyle challenge imaginable. When it comes to working a concept, idols showed no hesitance towards adopting some unique hair pieces - even cornrows, twists, dreadlocks and braids! Check out these idols who got hands on with their hairstyle!

2. Big Bang's Taeyang

Taeyang is one smooth fox with his cornrows. It makes his smoldering look quite attractive! Everyone can testify that Taeyang was the first fan favorite to try cornrows.

3. 4minute's Gayoon

4minute's stylist for "Crazy" knew what they were doing when they styled Gayoon with braids this amazing! You go girl!

4. 2NE1's Dara

Dara, there is no way you can think your ugly when you can rock any hairstyle! Especially long beautiful braids like those! Love the jewelry accents as well!

5. 2PM's Taecyeon

This hottie was a sweet unexpected treat in the world of K-Pop men rocking braids! Who doesn't love it?

6. Big Bang's G-Dragon

GD (G-Dragon) is always rocking some fun hair styles (remember his long seaweed hair?), and these blond rows are no exception! Wonder what he nicknamed this style?

7. Jay Park

Jay Park is always on top of his swag. His cornrows are on point and I bet he even learned to style it himself! He is dedicated to hip hop culture so it is no surprise to catch him on this list!

8. SISTAR's Hyorin

Hyorin was definitely a jaw-dropping hottie with her braids! The minute fans saw it, hearts dropped as she was channeling more than her inner baddest female.

9. 2NE1's CL

The baddest female wouldn't be the baddest if she wasn't rocking any braids, especially ones that are this intricate and sick! CL is always pushing the limit with her bold concepts and her hair is another element!

10. Zico

The rap master Zico is already a character when it comes to his fashion sense. He leaves nothing on his body untouched - even his hair exhibits his favorable yet wacky style!

11. Girls' Generation's Yuri

Yuri rocks her side row in a charming way that makes her look strong in a sweet feminine way. This hair suits their strong concept for "Catch Me If You Can."

12. Girls' Generation's Tiffany

Tiffany was another beauty of Girls' Generation donning some awesomely intricate cornrows! Her style also resembles a bold look in a womanly way.

13. KARA's Seungyeon

KARA's Seungyeon is also unforgettable as she is a charming but sexy girl with her hair side cornrow style. It adds that fun flair needed for the fun dance routine in "Mister"!

14. BoA

BoA is killin' it with her side-braid. She has a powerful image that matches her charisma and music taste.

15. EXO's Kai

Kai is another beautiful addition to the list. I never expected any EXO member to rock braids, but Kai definitely looked even more attractive this way. His big facial features really come alive.

16. Super Junior's Eunhyuk

Eunhyuk is a sweet guy and he makes side braids look even sweeter! Similar to KARA's Seungyeon, Eunhyuk rocks the one-sided twist for some extra flair.

17. Super Junior's Heechul

Heechul made everyone look twice with his fire red braids! It isn't this idols first time boasting this look, as he even rocked side braids for "Mr. Simple"!

18. B.A.P's Bang Yong Guk

B.A.P's Bang Yong Guk is going for that hardcore rap style, and adding cornrows into the mix is the key to completing this tough guy look!

19. TVXQ's Changmin

Changmin is a pretty boy in every way, but his cornrows added a new touch to his clean looks! It is even more fun to see the various ways he wore his braids!

20. Big Star's Baram

In my opinion, Big Star's Baram was lookin' fine in his cornrows! Baram looks super smooth and handsome making all the ladies swoon with his long cornrows because all you can focus on is his sweet eyes. #ConsiderYourselfSwooned

21. T-ara's Jiyeon

Jiyeon styles her single braid well through her hair giving her an angelic innocent nature. She can look both fierce and sweet at the blink of an eye.

22. 4Minute's HyunA

Of course HyunA will make the list as she is another dare devil when it comes to adopting new styles and concepts! Her long braids make her wicked cool for her "Crazy" promotions and personality!

23. Kim Bum

Although not exactly a part of K-Pop, handsome Kim Bum came left field with his braids! It made him appear more masculine and highlighted his rugged style. I wouldn't mind seeing him with his hair braided more often!

24. iKON's B.I

Another hottie in rows, B.I is living up to iKON's killer hip hop image for sure with his cornrows. He has mastered swag from head to toe in the literal sense!

25. B1A4's CNU

CNU always had a great visual appeal to him, whether performing live or through the MVs - he is eye-catching! His cornrows just enhance his already smooth but fun looks!

26. 1PUNCH

These rowdy rough boys were going hard for their 90's hip hop street image. Although they disbanded, they got plenty of style when it comes to rocking these braids!

27. Lee Joon

Before Lee Joon left in 2014, he was also rocking a set of fine braids. Always being a handsome guide, even these braids brought out his handsome features!

28. Zinni

Zinni is a B-Boy at heart! The braids really portray her urban hip hop style before GLAM's disbandment! Although she rocked this style in "Party XXO", it seem to stand out especially in "I Like That"!
