We think that this hairstyle will be best for those that have a narrow forehead as it may not be as flattering. However, for those that have simple hair colors or hairstyles, just cutting your bangs to this blunt bang style can truly change up your whole mood and aesthetic!

The Hippie Perm trend is still going strong in 2022. Hippie is a term used to refer to young individuals who tend to deny the established values, social customs, and institutions and peruse a different and new lifestyle, usually focused on restoration of humanity and nature. We love that this hairstyle truly embraces the care-free and free-spirited nature of it's definition. 

Hippie perms can be done in various ways which makes it more unique! If you want to have a more retro vibe, you can add thin curls, but if you want it to be more natural, you can opt for thicker curls. The flexibility in the style makes it a perfect option for so many. 

Medium Bob

A few years ago the bob was a very popular and trendy hairstyle in Korea, even to the point where the craze was nicknamed "short hair disease". Those that got this "disease" chopped off their hair to chic bobs! However, in 2022, the medium length bob has become popular rather than the original bob. It's an updated version! Many people are styling their medium length hair by creating natural curls at the ends so that it looks as natural and as if they just air-dryed their hair and stepped out of the house!

This look has been further popularized by Red Velvet's Wendy, who was first seen with a medium length bob that had the ends sticking out in various directions as if she had just ran out of the house. The soft curls add for a natural and lovely look. Lee Se-Young, Kim Da-mi are also noted for their medium bob with soft curls that add an elegant look and enhance the bob to another level!

Balayage means "paint" and is a hairstyle that creates natural highlights by having various colors centered towards the end of the hair as if one were to paint the hair from the root down in a downwards stroke! You can play around with lots of different colors for different types of looks and aesthetics!

This cut was originally a style for women but now is a popular haircut amongst many men. It was popularized by Lee Dong Wook after he sported the style on a recent K-drama "Bad and Crazy". The name "Leaf Cut" comes from the fact that the cut is similar to the shape of a leaf as the bangs are long enough to stick to the ears and the bottoms stick out longer like the end of a leaf. We think that this is a perfect haircut for men with longer hair.

After the cut has become popularized it celebrities such as Kim Woo-Bin, and V have been seen sporting the style!
