Korean bangs are a new trend in hairdressing. Creating such bangs does not require much effort, and it is not necessary to go to a beauty salon to do it. Styling bangs cut in the Korean style will also not take much time. The fashion for such bangs has long gone far beyond the borders of South Korea. It only requires understanding how to make and maintain beautiful Korean bangs.
What are Korean bangs?
The Korean-style bangs trend was sparked by the rise of the K-pop culture. The haircut became popular due to its variety of shapes.
Korean hairstyles combined with bangs create a playful and light image for girls. At the same time, the shape of the eyes is favorably emphasized, which eliminates the need for bright makeup.
Anime culture has also had an influence on her – the bangs are dyed in different colors using different techniques.
Note: The target audience of the K-pop trend is young people, therefore, a Korean hairstyle will not fit into a business style.
Peculiarities
It is important to remember that Korean girls have thick and coarse hair structures, unlike European girls, so Korean bangs will not look good on all Russian girls.
Types
As a rule, the shape of the haircut depends on the hair structure and face type.
There can be many variations of Korean bangs. For girls, this fashion trend allows for experiments, and this is another reason why the popularity of Korean culture has spread far beyond its homeland.
Laid on the sides
Such Korean bangs emphasize femininity in girls and hide flaws, making the face fresh. Bangs with a straight parting on the sides, as a rule, are made on straight hair. From hairstyles, they stop at braids, buns, and tails.

Advice: It is recommended to try the option with long ends the first time, which are then shortened.
Who suits Korean-style bangs?
Korean bangs are not suitable for everyone. Girls who want to get such a haircut should have straight, stiff hair. Bangs look good in combination with an oval, slightly thin face shape. An elongated version can compensate for a long nose.
Who won’t benefit from the Korean trend?
Triangular and round face shapes are not the best option for a Korean-style haircut, but a good stylist can modernize the haircut so that it takes into account the individual characteristics of the client. For example, girls with a triangular face shape are recommended to leave a long strand.
“For” and “against”

- stylish appearance that will not leave you unnoticed;

What you need to make Korean bangs yourself
To make Korean bangs, you will need the following tools:
- clamps
- thinning scissors
- combination comb
- ordinary hair scissors
Hair should be washed and damp.
For a classic haircut, there are two execution techniques: on short and long hair.
Technique of execution
Before you make Korean bangs yourself, it is best to find a guide that describes the cutting process in as much detail and step-by-step as possible.
For short hair, a Korean bangs haircut is done like this:
- Separate the front strand of hair to the desired length.
- Trim just below the eyebrows.
- Repeat the previous step a couple more times, moving 1 cm towards the crown.
- After the bangs have dried, comb them along the length and trim them to add volume.
For long hair, the sequence of actions is slightly different:
- The desired length is combed and collected into an inverted triangle, the base of which is 2 cm from the beginning of the parting.
- The separated strands are clenched in a fist, with the thumb pointing upwards 2 cm below where the bridge of the nose begins.
- The hair is cut in a semicircle, focusing on the tip of the thumbnail.
How to lay
For styling, use gels, mousses, and foams. It is best to style wet strands with a hairdryer, and at the end fix the result with a medium-hold hairspray.
