5 Hair Trends From K-Pop Idols To Give You A Fresh Start In The New Year

Jan 18, 2024

There’s nothing like the turn of the year to inspire a fresh start, and what better way to ring in the New Year than with a total glow-up! If you’ve been looking to refresh your style, here is some inspiration from your favorite idols. They’re always setting the trends of the season!

aespa’s Giselle – bleached ends

Those who remember the 2010’s bleached ends trend may cringe at this one, but aespa’s Giselle brings a fresh twist on the look with her bleached mid-ends. By leaving the ends of her hair natural, she avoids a lot of the split-end issues that bleaching can cause. It’s cool in a sort of edgy, unique way!

LE SSERAFIM’s Hong Eunchae – under color

Another split-dye look comes from LE SSERAFIM’s Hong Eunchae, who has been sporting this light blonde color with a layer of black underneath. It definitely adds interest to a simple hairstyle like these twin ponytails, and it also looks great when the hair is down with a peek of the color underneath coming through.

IVE’s An Yu Jin – messy bangs

Good news for those who are tired of keeping their bangs styled to perfection at all times! This messier, more low-maintenance look is totally in style. The relaxed look without the perfectly-parted, even strands is totally rock chic, and it works no matter what length your bangs are. It looks amazing on IVE’s An Yu Jin!

Stray Kids’ Seungmin – warm blond

While cool-toned or platinum blonds have been the trend for the last several years, the tide in K-pop is shifting toward warmer, almost strawberry tones. Stray Kids’ Seungmin is sporting a warm golden shade here, but there are plenty of colors to choose from that will suit your skin tone if you want to try this trend.

TWICE’s Momo – face-framing pieces

While face-framing bangs are always in style, lots of idols have been adding them to their look to help bring attention to their face. Choose a finer cut if you don’t already have bangs, or opt for something bolder like TWICE’s Momo for a cool style that’s reminiscent of the hime cut trend but looks even more effortless.
