Short Cuts

A short hairdo does not have to mean tomboyish. Take it from these K-Celebs who keep their crops soft and feminine.

Side Step

Experiment with long fringes and sides to give your hair more body and texture. Actress Park So Dam manages to work her short crop by adding volume to her top and sweeping her longer sides to the back. For a bit more edge, go with Go Joon Hee’s long, choppy side swept bangs. Simple and easy to maintain!

Chin Up

If you’re not ready to lop it all off, take it from these ladies who’ve gone a bit shorter than the usual bob. AOA’s Choa tapered bob cut frames her oval face perfectly and draws attention to her sharper chin. For a neater alternative, try 9Muses’ Sojin’s slick ’do. The length makes it easier to sweep it behind your ears if you want to glam it up.

Fringe Benefit

Unlike the pixie cuts of Hollywood (think J-Law) which are more often than not sharp and angular, the girls in K-Town always go for a soft, full-bodied fringe. Think rounded sides and thicker fronts. Not only does this look take years off, it also softens the entire cut.
