Unforgettable hair moments in Korean Dramas
Thinking of changing up your look for 2021? For a new ‘do this coming new year, there’s a wealth of inspiration you can find in Korean dramas! Even if you’re not a huge fan, there’s still a dizzying array of gorgeous hairstyles that you and your trusty hairstylist can most certainly achieve. Check out these 12 Korean dramas whose female leads had the best hairstyles this 2020:
For the Adventurous: Short and Striking
If you want to start the new year with a bang, you can opt for a short yet striking look! Be inspired by the following actresses who sported short hairstyles in their most recent dramas.
Im Soo Hyang (When I Was The Most Beautiful)
Lim Soo Hyang showcased an effortlessly cool look with her ‘lob’ (long bob) and parted bangs in ‘When I Was The Most Beautiful’. Though she eventually grows out her tresses throughout the series, her shorter cut is the one we’re pinning for our stylists’ reference!
Eugene (The Penthouse)
Considered one of South Korea’s most beautiful faces, there’s no doubt Eugene can rock any hairstyle. But one of her most notable hairstyles to date is her head-turning bob in “The Penthouse”. This look gives her a fierce, no-nonsense attitude that’s perfect for her role as an ambitious woman who’s willing to do anything just to land herself in high society.
Shin Ye Eun (More Than Friends)
A shoulder length cut paired with wispy bangs seems to be a go-to hairstyle for K-Drama leads - and Shin Ye Eun stuns in ‘More Than Friends’ with just that. Simple, yet chic, if you’re looking for a fresh and youthful look, you can’t go wrong with this style.
Kim Hee Ae (A World of Married Couple)
Kim Hee Ae’s hairstyle in the hit series ‘A World of Married Couple’ is a cut that’s elegant, yet low maintenance. With this hairstyle, you can achieve the same daring and feminine vibe as her character!
For the Classic ‘Do: Long and Sleek
You can’t go wrong with long, silky, cascading hair, just like these actresses in their latest dramas.
Jo Bo Ah (Tale of the Nine Tailed)
Jo Bo Ah’s long silky, jet black hair in “Tale of the Nine Tailed” is nothing short of sensational! Whatever the occasion is, be it a simple birthday party or a posh soiree, wearing your long hair down like a cascading waterfall will never be a bad decision!
Park Eun Bin (Do You Like Brahms?)
Park Eun Bin’s waist-length locks paired with see-through bangs in Do You Like Brahms? is suitable for those who want to spice up their long hair. On top of that, bangs never fail to give one a youthful, carefree glow!
Kim Hee Sun (Alice)
It’s hard to top the old-world glamour of long, straight, flowy locks a la Kim Hee Sun in “Alice”. Sophisticated and never boring, this hairstyle is truly versatile! Whether you’re trying to impress someone or just attending the usual Sunday mass, this ‘do will do.
Lee Da Hee (Search: WWW)
Lee Da Hee’s hairstyle in Search: WWW makes us want to grow our hair out (or get extensions immediately) to achieve to absolute #bossbabe look. Glossy and always put together, this is a hairstyle that you can totally rock at any work meeting or event.
For that Elegant Look: Long and Wavy
No other hairstyle epitomizes elegance as much as long waves as seen in these female protagonists who owned this hairstyle like they’re royalty!
Moon Ga Young (Find Me in Your Memory)
Moon Ga Young’s long, layered, and lush locks in “Find Me in Your Memory” is perfect for her role as Yeo Ha Jin, a model-turned-actress. This style allows one to exude both power and femininity.
Park Min Young (When the Weather is Fine)
If you dreamt of becoming a mermaid when you were a little girl, Park Min Young’s hair in “When the Weather is Fine” will get you halfway there with her long effortless waves.
(Tip: This is also available in Tagalog dub!)
Chae Soo Bin (A Piece of Your Mind)
If achieving (and maintaining) mermaid-esque hair is too time-consuming for you, though, Chae Soo Bin’s soft, relaxed waves is a great alternative. The modern ‘do won’t demand too much time to style and fix. Simply air drying it and letting your hair’s natural texture shine through will be enough to get this look!
IU (Hotel Del Luna)
There were way too many hair moments in Hotel Del Luna to choose from, but one thing’s for sure - IU showed how versatile her wavy long locks were. Though her hair changes were frequent, her wispy side bangs were always a stand out in our book! Bottom line is, there’s so much you can do with long hair, and IU demonstrates that well in every episode of Hotel Del Luna.
