Top 5 Korean celebrity inspired hair cuts and colours

There’s nothing better than a fresh haircut or hair colour for a little pick-me-up. Hair changes promote a mood change and oftentimes fuel our self-esteem and self-worth. So, if you have been feeling a little bit down lately, don’t hesitate to give our suggestions – all tested by Korean celebrities – a try!

#1. Ribbon highlights

Girl’s Generation former star, Tiffany Hwang, has some amazing highlights that seem to warm up and add a little bit more texture to her deep-brown hair. More than this, these highlights come with the great advantage of being incredibly easy to maintain and style. Because these highlights don’t start at the root, but lower, an unsightly demarcation when the hair grows won’t appear. A tip to care for this hair colour would be to rigorously apply revitalising and restorative hair oil every time you wash your hair. Hair colour experts recommend using the Verb Ghost Oil, retailed at more than affordable prices.

#2. Lobs

Always trendy and always easy to style and maintain, lobs are still one of the hottest haircut trends this year. The Korean actress Kin Hee Sun certainly knows how to rock her lob haircut, in effortless yet stylish ways. This hairstyle is certainly flattering a variety of face shapes, and this is certainly a flirtier hairstyle than your regular locks. A great styling suggestion is curling with a curling iron the front sections of your hair. Add a bit of texturizing spray, and create an effortless, summer hairstyle out of this incredibly versatile cut!

#3. Face-framing layers

If you don’t want a drastic change, you can always go for face-framing layers. The Korean actress Yoon-Eun-Hye certainly does a great job at rocking this texturized haircut. Usually adopted by women in an attempt to make their faces appear slimmer,this haircut has won the hearts of so many women! This haircut is perfect if you want to create some voluminous waves. Simply curl your hair sections with a wide-barrel curling iron, away from your face, add some texturizing spray or simply hairspray and you’re good to go!

#4. Tousled waves

Blame the Korean model-actress Lee Sung Kyung for making these waves so popular. This hairstyle is playful yet classy with a touch of rebel, which makes it perfect for women that want to always look youthful. While you could go to a salon for a similar perm, this would damage your hair enormously. Instead, if you want to achieve this hairstyle at home, braid your damp hair in a three-strand braid and use a diffuser to dry it. A triple barrel curling iron will also do the trick.

#5. Airy bangs

A choppy airy fringe is the perfect haircut for those hot summer days, and the Korean actress seems to do a perfect job at rocking those. Incredibly flattering for a variety of face shapes, this haircut is easy to pull off and style by everybody. For round faces, however, expert stylists advise choosing longer and thinner bangs, to make those suit your face shape better, but also make those look more casual.
