A hime haircut is a type of hairstyle that is popular in Korea. It is characterized by long, straight hair that is cut in a layered style, with the front and side hair being cut around cheek-length. Originating from a Japanese coming-of-age ceremony called binsogi, the Hime haircut can be lately seen on K-Pop stars such as NewJeans, TWICE's Momo, and more!
To achieve this look, style your hair with straight, cheek-length side locks and a pretty blunt fringe, and leave the rest of your hair down! Check out some of the stars rocking this hairstyle for inspiration!

2) NewJeans Minji and Haerin: With this looks Minji gives off the same vibes as Cheon Seong Yi from "My Love from Another Star," and Haerin looks glamourous and edgy!
3) Red Velvet Irene: With such a classic beauty like Irene, there's no way this haircut wouldn't work, just look how beautiful she is!

This style is not for everyone. As someone that has tried this, I looked like a potato with long bangs.
