2023 Korean Summer Hair Trends
Women's Haircuts
1. Paper Cut
The Paper Cut is a more natural short hairstyle that has slight layers so the hair won't look too thick, giving a refreshing feeling! It goes really well with linen shirts as it creates a very casual and natural look.
2. Miro Cut
Compared to the previously popular Tassel Cut hairstyle, the Miro Cut has more natural ends, giving a more casual look. Pairing it with a Miro Perm will create an even sweeter and cuter image! However, if paired with a short top, it will feel more trendy and give off a different charm!
3. Pleats Cut
The Pleats Cut is a hairstyle that creates a light and fresh look that is perfect for summer by cutting a few layers. Hairstylists recommend pairing this style with asymmetrical shirts or unique designs to enhance the freedom and trendiness of the look!

The Hush Cut has been super popular for several years now, and it's no exception this summer! Many Korean female celebrities, such as Red Velvet Wendy, Girls' Generation YoonA, IU, and more have been seen sporting this hairstyle, which is both stylish and feminine. It's definitely a style that many people want to try!
5. Pixie Cut
The Pixie Cut is usually known as a short hairstyle, but there is also a version with long hair! The natural layers can enhance one's facial features and face shape, giving off a trendy yet chic vibe.
Men's Hairstyles
1. Clark Cut/Perm
The Clark Cut is a hairstyle that is on the shorter side, which can give off a very manly look! Many men have been opting for this look these days. However, because it can come off as a little strong, hairstylists recommend to wear jeans or a denim jacket to appear a bit more casual.
2. Half Cut
The Half Cut is a haircut that is similar to the Two Block Cut but with longer hair on the top. It can modify the shape of the face to make it look slimmer and give a more youthful appearance. The biggest advantage of this style is that it is not very difficult to style, so even if you're not good at styling of your hair, it won't be a problem!
3. None Cut
The None Cut is a hairstyle that is on the longer side and highly recommended for those that want a youthful look. You will definitely look and feel younger with this cut! It goes well with casual shirts or thin jackets.

Brighter-toned colors like this vintage orange color and wine red have been a super hot trend recently not only in Korea but also globally! Many Korean celebrities have been sporting this color, especially idols, as it gives the perfect pop of color! It's also an easier color to achieve as it won't require multiple bleach sessions.
2. Khaki Brown

This cool-toned khaki brown color is one of the most popular colors in Korea for both men and women as it is very natural. It's also known to enhance that glass skin effect, which Koreans love! This color is achieved by adding a small amount of green to a dark brown dye mix to reduce any redness in the brown. It's a great color to try out if you want something new but not too out-there!
3. Beige Blonde

Another super trendy bold hair color is this Ash Violet, which many fans loved on NewJeans Hanni. It's very feminine yet chic and a very unique color! It's also popular among Koreans because the ash-toned purple hues that are applied on bleached hair combat any brassiness or redness that commonly shows once black hair is bleached. It's a great way to stand out this summer!
