Korean short hair often involves bobs with soft layers or textures that give off a laidback vibe. Some Korean short hairstyles have bangs that are worn in a chic and relaxed way. Even pixie cuts that take after Korean short hairstyles sport the same soft and dainty vibe.

If you’re fond of watching Korean dramas or you follow certain K-Pop stars, at one point, you might have wanted to sport the same ‘do. And if you’ve been looking for aesthetic Korean short hair pegs, check out these ideas that we’ve rounded up for you.

Korean Short Hair Pegs We Love

1. Korean Short Hair With Blunt Bangs

Unleash your inner K-Pop star with a curly bob with blunt bangs. After curling your hair, scrunch it to style. This Korean short hairstyle for women can also help make thin hair look fuller and bouncier.

2. Straight Blunt Bob

This classic is also a popular Korean short hair choice. It looks fresh and youthful, especially when you add side-swept bangs. Nail this hairstyle by keeping your hair sleek and smooth.

TRESemmé Keratin Smooth KERA10 Shampoo

Editor’s tip: Don’t let frizz and flyaways ruin your look. Use TRESemmé KERA10 Smooth Shampoo to give your hair 10 salon benefits in one wash! It has an anti-frizz and anti-humidity formulation, so your hair stays on point all day. It also tames flyaways, makes hair soft, smooth, and shiny, detangles, strengthens hair, provides heat protection, and gives your hair a long-lasting fragrance.

TRESemmé Keratin Smooth KERA10 Serum Conditioner

To get the best results, use TRESemmé Keratin Smooth KERA10 Serum Conditioner as well. Aside from Kera10 Protein Complex that goes up to 10 layers deep in your hair, this conditioner also has oleo serum which is deeply nourishing and moisturizing.

3. Bob With See-Through Bangs

Create an aesthetic Korean short hair look with see-through bangs and a textured bob. To do this, blow-dry your fringe down and straight to give it a good shape. You can also wrap it around a hair roller for a minute. Then, style your fringe with your fingers and make sure the strands do not cover your forehead entirely.

For the rest of your hair, create waves using a curling wand and finger-comb your hair to loosen the waves. The result is a chic and laid-back look that you can wear every day.

4. Wavy Korean Short Hair With Clips

Jump on both the hair clip and Korean hair trends with this hairstyle. Have fun mixing and matching different hair clips on your short wavy hair! You can wear this ‘do when going out with your friends on a weekend or when going to a casual party.

5. Pixie Bob

If you’re looking for Korean haircuts for females that emphasize your jawline, this short hairstyle should do the trick. Long bangs define your features and add volume to your ‘do. Have them trimmed often so they stay in good shape.

6. Wavy Lob

If you want hair that falls just above your shoulders, go for a lob, the longer version of the bob. Use a curling iron to style your hair in waves for special events.

7. Side-Parted Bob

A bob is a classic cut that can help you get that aegyo (cute) look. It frames your face gorgeously and makes your cheeks look slimmer, making it a great choice for girls with round faces.

8. Wavy Chin-Length Bob

The charm of the wavy bob is just too hard to miss. The curls give more body to the classic bob, making it a must-try chic Korean short hair look.

9. C-Curl Medium Hair With Curtain Bangs

When your bob has grown from chin-length to medium-length, you can give the tips a more pronounced inverted C-shape by using a medium-sized round brush. Position the brush underneath your hair with the blow dryer on the other side. Blow-dry your hair straight, then curve the brush inwards when you reach the tips. Add curtain bangs to complete the look.

Sunsilk Smooth and Manageable Shampoo

Editor’s tip: Get fresh-smelling, easy-to-style hair by using Sunsilk Smooth and Manageable Shampoo. It has the new Activ-Infusion, a blend of oils, vitamins, and proteins that protect your hair from damaging factors like heat, humidity, and pollution. It also makes your hair smooth and fragrant, thanks to its flower oils.

10. Aesthetic Korean Short Hair With Tousled Waves

If you’re having a bad hair day, or if your waves didn’t turn out as expected, just finger-comb your hair to create a tousled look. For this, you don’t even need to perfect your waves. Just keep them loose and casual, and you’ll rock a messy but aesthetic Korean short hair look.

11. Purple Wavy Korean Short Hair

A lot of K-Idols sport purple hair, so why not wear this color on your Korean short hair? Complement it with tousled waves and bangs for added oomph.

Dove Keratin Repair 1 Minute Serum Conditioner

Editor’s tip: Coloring your hair can cause damage, especially when bleaching is involved. Revive damaged hair by using Dove Keratin Repair 1 Minute Serum Conditioner. It has keratin-infused serum capsules that penetrate your hair strands and repair damage from within. Use this every day to get healthy, beautiful, and resilient hair.

12. Ash Blonde Blunt Bob

Ash blonde hair color also screams “K-Pop Idol,” as it is trendy, chic, and flattering for almost all skin tones. With a hair color like this, paired with a fresh haircut like a blunt bob, you’ll be the definition of #hairgoals.

13. Tapered Bob

Give your bob an interesting shape by giving it tapered ends. This haircut gives your bob a fresh take and sets it apart from blunt and chin-length bobs.

14. Concave Bob

Play up your aegyo (winsome cuteness) factor with a youthful bob. To add volume, wrap sections of your hair around hair rollers, making sure that the tips point inwards. Blow-dry your hair, remove the rollers, and scrunch your hair to make it loose and bouncy.

15. Layered Chin-Length Bob

A chin-length bob that has air-dried curls at the tips is another common characteristic of Korean short hair. It’s a great way to style thin hair because the layers and waves keep it from looking limp.

16. Bob With Beach Waves

Complement your wispy bangs with an equally relaxed hairstyle. Beach waves on your medium bob will certainly help you nail a chic Korean look.

17. Peach Lob

Koreans are adept at experimenting with new hair colors and trends. This Korean short hairstyle is a fine example. Try peach, a Korean hair color trend that’s both edgy and dainty at the same time. It’s a youthful hair color, so try it on your lob.

18. Korean Pixie Cut

Korean-style pixie cuts often have hair that just falls right at the ear level. Add a side fringe and blow-dry it to style.

19. Volumized Korean Short Hair

The secret to a bouncy lob like this is volume. Bounce and movement on your hair make for an Instagram-worthy look, so give your lob a blowout before snapping hair selfies.

20. Dip-Dyed Korean Short Hair

K-Pop idols (even the guys!) are huge fans of wildly colored hair. It adds to their personality, making them stand out from the crowd. Dip your toes into the look by dyeing just the ends of your lob a different hue. We love how vibrant emerald tips contrast with dark, Asian hair.

21. Shag Korean Short Hair

You can also show your individuality with a bright blonde shag—a super hot look that hits two trends at once.

22. Vibrant Korean Short Hair

Feeling brave? Take the plunge and color your hair with two or more hues! The result is a fun and edgy look that will make you stand out.

23. Bob With Side-Swept Long Bangs

This haircut helps give balance to round and wide face shapes. No wonder it’s such a classic style! Long bangs swept to the side help sculpt your features further, while cinnamon hair color adds warmth to Asian skin.

24. Blunt Chin-Length Bob With Baby Bangs

This short hairstyle frames your features with bold angles. Meanwhile, baby bangs help make a major statement.

25. Bouncy Korean Short Hair With Center Part

This charmingly simple, low-key bob harks back to the ’90s when symmetry is key. You can have your tips slightly layered so you can shape your hair more easily using a blow dryer.

26. Layered Korean Short Hair With Wispy Bangs

Brush and blow-dry your layers inwards so your layered bob stays bouncy and in good shape. Add wispy bangs for a chic and laid-back look.

27. Chin-Length Bob with Full Bangs

You can also wear full bangs with your Korean short hair. Just make sure to blow-dry your bangs down and straight so they stay on point all day. You can also color your short hair to make it look fresh.

Now, it’s time to pick your favorite Korean short hair look and cop it! Whatever look you choose, make sure it flatters your face shape so you can own it and rock it confidently.

Often seen underneath the surface and around the face, peekaboo highlights add an interesting surprise to any hair cut or colour. While there is no right or wrong way to wear the two-toned look, the “hidden” second colour is more apparent when the hair is pulled up or sectioned in a certain way. The best part? It is also easy to maintain if you opt for a darker colour (on the top) as you won’t even need to bleach that part.

A cherry red is for anyone who wants to make a statement. When it comes to maintaining the colour, book in with your salon every two to three months. When you’re in between appointments, maintain your colour by topping up with red hair masks and shampoos. Also, prevent the fading process by swapping out your regular shampoo and conditioner with sulphate-free colour protecting ones.

If you’re aiming to achieve an ashy purple hue à la Twice Tzuyu, keep in mind that it’s a high-maintenance look that requires regular touch-ups at the salon and at-home treatments.

Le Sserafim Chaewon’s slightly flicked-out lob with bangs sits just above her shoulders. To recreate, blow dry your hair in a downward motion and tame flyaways with a smoothing serum or oil.

For the Copenhagen leg of Blackpink’s “Born Pink World Tour”, Jennie sported space buns with two dainty baby braids on both sides of her face. Proof that this ’90s hairstyle works for all occasions.

This rich and warm hue is a great, natural hair colour that will work for those in conservative offices. It’s also flattering on all skin tones and will work with most hairstyles.

Not ready to embrace a bold new hair colour? Ease into the trend and elevate your look with a few icy, silver-blue highlights, like Red Velvet Seulgi.

We’re loving this textured, shaggy ‘do on Hyuna. The layered bangs help to add even more visual interest.

Keep your locks flowing this year. Yes, we know, Singapore gets too hot and uncomfortable for long hair but keep in mind that this hairstyle gives you the opportunity to try out different looks whenever you’re in the mood for something different.

Let your hair down (literally), tie it in bunches or pigtails, or experiment with unique tied/untied/half-tied looks. The opportunities are (almost) endless.

When it comes to red hair, it can definitely turn heads. But you don’t have to go full Singapore-flag red to get the best effect – try out a copper tone, which gives your hair an alluring reddish look which is still muted enough for anyone who doesn’t want to be too adventurous. It’s also a gorgeous colour.

Love drinking red wine? Why not turn your hair into that colour too? But seriously, wine could also be your starter colour to red hair.

It’s subtle as it’s not bright but it’s also a unique look. Be careful not to veer too much onto the purple edge of this colour, but instead try to keep that reddish tone.

It might sound like a drastic cut – especially if you’ve never had your hair this short before – but it’s a chic look that’s quick and easy to wash and style. This style especially suits women with small faces and long necks but this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go for it if you don’t fit this criteria.

There are also several options with this style – very layered at the top, textured bangs etc. It’s also a great style for hot weather so let your neck breathe and feel the wind instead of being home to your often-sweaty hair.
