South Korea is renowned for its ever-evolving trends in food, clothing, fashion, and music - but did you know that there are also trendy hairstyles that many Korean stars are rocking? Here are seven Korean hairstyling tips to try and stay ahead of the curve!
1. Baby Hair Bangs: If you were up to date during the end-of-the-year award ceremonies, heading into 2023, all the actresses were seen spotting similar hairdos! Taking pieces of their baby hair and creating a bang-like look, just like Seol In Ah or Im YoonA, gives a more youthful yet sophisticated look to them!
2. Lobs are back: With stars such as Song Hye Kyo sporting the lob, this short, medium haircut is one you don't want to miss! The best tip is to curl the ends of your hair to go toward your face to create a softer look!
3. Milk Tea Hair: This continues to be a trend that returns time and time again, but it's just because it looks so beautiful. Taking on the tint of milk tea, this creamy brown hair color makes one look more youthful and gives an air of elegance!
4. Volume Up: If you've struggled to try to get the perfect oomph to your hair, try this styling top that many Korean hairstylists use! Take an alligator pin, place it between two chunks of hair at the crown of your head and add some heat, and you'll find that the crown of your head has a lot more volume than before! Give a spritz of hairspray, and you can be assured that you'll have voluminous hair all day!
5. Hairline Shading: If you want to tie up your hair, but are worried about receding hairline or any spotty patches, the best tip you can take is to shade your hairline lightly! There are specific Korean hair products that are made for this exact purpose; while natural, this tip also makes your hair look full!
6. Hairspray First: While many people put on hairspray after blow drying their hair, many Korean celebrity hairstylists end up actually applying hairspray first and then blow dry for a better hold!
7. Face Moisturizer as Hair Tamer: A tip that's not very common, but if you struggle with applying hair oil because it causes breakouts where your hair touches your face, then apply a little bit of face moisturizer! It'll keep your hair frizz tame and won't cause breakouts!
