K-drama hairstyles can be as dramatic as their characters. Some hairstyles are so hilarious and amazing that gravity had no hold on them. These hairstyles are bold enough to start trends and have their own plot lines in dramas.

Let’s visit some K-drama hairstyles that might never be forgotten in history:

Rich Guy Perm

I know we all know the wearer! Lee Min Ho took the viewers on another journey of wonders with his Gu Jun Pyo hairstyle. Those tight, curly perms that looked like ramen noodles made us wonder what was going on in the stylist’s mind. It provided comic relief to his arrogant attitude that had a layer of softness. With that amount of hair, he would never worry about going bald.

CEO Slick Back

This is the perfect hairstyle for narcissists. Park Seo Joon deleted bangs from his dictionary and made sure his hair preached the gospel of his status as a CEO. The hair matched his perfectionist attitude with a sharpness that could cut glass. Even with the constant rubbing as he displayed his egoistic attitudes, the hair stood the test of time and touch.

Rebellious Bangs

The slightly messy and unkempt bangs of Kim Seon Ho in Hometown Cha Cha Cha gave a contrasting look to the stylish Han Ji Pyeong we witnessed in Start-up. He played Chief Hong, who has a laid-back yet mysterious personality, just like his hair. He was able to fool us with his soft, carefree, and quiet strength; thanks to his rebellious bangs that wouldn't fall in place, it sold him as a playful character, and we fell for him.

Drama Wig

Let's not even get started on the sageuk wigs in historical K-dramas. They are more than props because they are a whole performance themselves. From the noble scholars to the palace maids, no one is left out. They carry centuries and histories of culture and attitude. If care is not taken, they have the power to steal the attention off the main characters because they get us wondering if our modern oppas and eonnies are actually the ones under those funny headpieces. The wigs manage to match every intense stare and raise brows while withstanding the test of time due to their stiffness with pride.

Quirky Artist Bob

Whatever the stylists were thinking when they picked out a short bob with a choppy end sticking out like a mustache should be investigated. Lee Sung Kyung’s hair in Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo mirrored her bubbly and cute personality that suited her genuine character and athletic job. It gave us a refreshing and completely new look from the usual glamorous and long hairstyles she had always worn.

Perfectly Tousled

Have you seen the hair of a man just rolling out of bed? A little roughness with a touch of flawless. A whole lot of hair product went into achieving this look for Hyun Bin in Crash Landing on You, and we are not complaining. The hair showed his relaxed and effortless charm that was opposite to his soldier occupation. However, it proved that soldiers don’t have to look fearful; both work and visuals can be balanced.

Ahjumma Perm

This is one of the most legendary and classic hairstyles to exist in K-drama. It’s usually on the supportive aunties and mothers in many dramas. The hair is an icon of resilience and life experiences. It carries the stories and makes you realize that these women have seen it all; there is no time for fussy hair. It’s a symbol of wisdom and a badge of strength.

Sometimes, beyond being pretty and classy, these hairstyles are created to suit the character’s traits. Taking the plot into consideration is one of the steps the stylists follow, and sometimes they are just plainly for comic purpose. Hairstyles add fun to our favorite shows, and we can only give a shout-out to the hairstyling team.
