These Are The Top Hair Trends In Seoul This Year
The whole world has its eyes on South Korea as the country’s Hallyu wave has birthed some of the best trends in makeup, fashion and hairstyles. Indeed, the ever-increasing popularity of K-dramas and K-pop has made Seoul the new hub of cool, and young people in the city are dressing up as their favorite characters from shows like Crash Landing On You, or doing dance covers to BTS’ Dynamite or Blackpink’s How You Like That. To complete the whole idol or actor look, they’re also spending some time in the salon or doing DIY hair color and cuts at home to keep up with the trends of the season. If you’re thinking about upgrading your look, check out these top hair trends in Seoul.
90s bob
Back in the 90s, the bob was the go-to hairstyle of stylish girls all over the world: it’s youthful and low-maintenance, and it fits in with the relaxed and easy vibe of the decade of grunge. This year, the bob is back in a huge way, with top celebrities such as “It’s Okay To Not Be Okay” star Seo Ye-ji, Twice’s Chaeyong, and Blackpink’s Lisa taking the plunge and sporting blunt bobs. Having a bob allows you to maintain a sustainable hair care routine, as you won’t need as much product or shampoo (and therefore plastic packaging) to keep your locks in good condition. Moreover, you won’t need frequent visits to the salon to maintain it, so it’s also a cost effective hairstyle that makes it a good fit for students on a budget. If you want to style your hair in different ways, opt for a shoulder-length bob like Ye-ji, or for an edgy look, go for Lisa’s chin-length bob with blunt bangs.
Turquoise hair
What do RM of BTS, Lee Suhyun of AKMU, and Soobin of TXT have in common? All these idols have been spotted sporting turquoise hair this year. The bright blue color looks great on all skin tones, and it’s certainly bound to make you stand out above the rest. To get the best results, have your hair colored by a professional, and make sure to recolor regrowth every four to six weeks. If you can’t commit to a strict hair maintenance schedule, try placing blue streaks on your hair with hair chalk or temporary dye, or attach turquoise hair pieces to your real hair before pulling it back into a ponytail.
The cherub hairstyle
More men in Seoul are spotting long, wavy hair, thanks to BTS’ V, K-drama star Lee Dong Wook, and Winner’s Jinu. This style, called the cherub, can make you look more innocent and appealing, and it’s a favorite among Korean male celebrities who like to wear their hair long. You can certainly do your own perm at home, but you’ll need to grow out your hair first for best results. Also, make sure not to dye your hair before or after perming to avoid hair damage or breakage.
This year, refresh your look with some of the best hair trends from Seoul. Consult a professional for the best results, and wear your new hairstyle with confidence.
