IU just dropped “Autumn Morning” today, which was a sweet gift for her fans! Happy ninth anniversary to IU and UAENA! This song is just a preview for what’s to come! We’re all going to splurge when her remake comes out! In celebration of IU’s chart-topping release, we’ll be going over her famous bob hairstyles! A lot of female idols, including IU herself, like to stick to long, flowing hair to keep their feminine image. In fact, IU’s signature “innocent” look that labeled her as the “Nation’s little sister” is her long, dark, and wavy hair. IU still champions her long hair, but she’s had a ton of shorter hairstyles too! From straight to wavy, to bangs and no bangs, we’ve got a nice variety to look at! Let’s look through a lookbook of a bunch of IU’s Short Hairstyles!

IU’s Short Hairstyles

Simple

This picture here shows the very basic look out of the various options of IU’s short hairstyles! She has her hair cropped so that it just barely touches her shoulders, and she sweeps her hair to the side. This one’s another simple and innocent look that definetely looks like an IU signature!

C-Curl

Here, IU’s cropped her hair so that it just meets at her chin. I personally think this is a great length. It’s officially a bob now, but it isn’t anything that’s crazy short. Unlike what you might think, you CAN pull it back when you want! IU added in really soft C-Curls at the ends of her hair, which add a lot of volume and style!

Cropped and Colorful

Maybe it’s just the dress pattern that she’s wearing in this picture, but her look here is so fun and quirky.  We’re seeing cropped, straight hair that flies out a bit at the ends, and curled wisp bangs that frame her face. You haven’t noticed the best part: she’s got COLORED bobby pins that are holding the rest of her hair back! I haven’t seen colored bobby pins in a while! We all try to make the pins look less obvious and get one that matches our hair color, but IU might be on to something here! I want to give this a go sometime!

“Palette”

On to IU’s signature “Palette” hairstyle! Half of Korea must have gotten this style the moment Palette dropped. Just like last time, we’ve got it just barely touching her shoulders again, only now she’s curled them a bit. She has a really soft wave going throughout her hair, and the ends of her hair kind of poof and curl inwards. It gives a great soft grunge and retro vibe!

Wet and Gelled

We’re going into the photoshoot zone now! I’m pretty sure that idols always have to do the wet hairstyle for their photshoots. It’s literally all that we see in magazines. Or, that’s what if feels like. At least it’s an iconic style that never looks bad! The hair isn’t exactly “wet,” but it’s that or “heavily gelled,” and “wet” sounds less painful. Either way, I always love a good “heavily gelled” hairstyle with the parting ends! I don’t know if I’d ever step up to the challenge and do it myself, though.

Curled and Cute

A GIF to brighten your day and make me feel tech-savvy! IU’s got her see-through bangs here again, which frame her face, and she’s got her barely-to-the-shoulder bob. This time, she’s got a straight-out perm instead of soft curls. Since she has a half-back hairstyle here, the frizzy curls make her look a lot younger!

Autumn Cropped

  I just love everything about this picture. Since it’s fall right now, I really want to be wearing the exact same sweater with that exact same hairstyle, but then reality hits that I’m not IU. Sighs. I love the length here though, and the fact that her hair’s straight. Curls kind of make a hairstyle look softer, but straight, cropped hair weirdly has that “edgy” vibe that I love. Her headband too! I love it. She’s got very few bangs, but since her headband is so thick, it all just balances out somehow.

See-Through Bangs

The Hime Cut

See Through Bangs are a huge trend in Korea, and it’s seen on women celebrities to create different and unique looks. Blunt bangs were big in Asia before, but now see through bangs have taken over the Hallyu wave. Known for softening the facial features with thin layers of wispy bangs, this hairstyle is very different from the edgy, blunt-bang look. Here we’ll learn three see through bangs styling tips from the goddesses themselves: Eunji, Suzy, Hyoseong.

3 Different See Through Bangs Looks

Jung Eunji

Apink’s Eunji

Jung Eunji’s see through bang hairstyle has a natural feel and emphasizes her maturity. Her see through bangs show a little bit of her forehead, and it’s cut to a length a little longer than her eyebrows. Both sides of her hair are cut a little longer than the center to naturally fade out to the sides of her head. While Eunji’s see through bangs are initially cut across in a straight line, a slight curl is added for a more natural look.

Bae Suzy

Miss A’s Bae Suzy

Suzy shows off her feminine charm through this see through bang hairstyle. Unlike her debut bang look, which emphasized her chubby cheeks, this bang look shows off her forehead to complete a feminine image.

Suzy uses a 5:5 ratio hair part with her see through bangs, placing a small amount of bangs at the center, cutting it into a length just over the eyes, and letting it flow naturally along the lines of her face. Suzy utilizes the natural volume in her bangs into two looks: one tailored to short hair and the other two wavy hair. If you cut your bangs so that they’re long enough to tuck behind your ear, you can choose to hide or reveal your forehead and go for two very different styles (like Suzy).

Jun Hyoseong

SECRET’s Jun Hyoseong

By giving the ends of her bangs a natural C-curled wave, Hyoseong shows off a more youthful look. Her see through bangs are cut to a length right above her ear and slightly curled.

Curling the ends of your see through bangs has the effect of making them look shorter than they actually are, which produces a cuter image. A curl can be made with thick hair rollers on dry hair, and it can also be produced by an iron.

All of Hyoseong’s hair was given bold waves, which gives off a feminine and cheerful vibe. By dyeing her hair a brown and not a bright, eye-catching color, Hyoseong also emphasize a natural look.

In today’s post, we’ll be combining two of the hottest trends of 2017: Kpop group Red Velvet and the much-talked-about see through bangs! Previously on Red Velvet’s Rookie Hairstyles, we briefly mentioned Yeri’s new hair look, and today we’ll focus on her most significant hair change for this comeback: Red Velvet Yeri’s see through bangs!

Source: Zenith News

With the quirky concepts and ethereal MV’s the group is known for, Red Velvet’s members always manage to incorporate some shocking fashions* and colorful new hairstyles. For the group’s Rookie comeback, however, maknae Yeri went for a very calm and natural hair look.

First, Yeri sticks with her original hair color: black to make this look more natural and modern.

Yeri’s see through bangs are very minimal but have the same effect of all see through bangs: creating a smaller face without looking too stuffy (as bold, straight-across bangs have a tendency to do). You can see that she only uses a couple hairs to create this look, so if you’re still on the fence about cutting bangs, try this style for a safe result! With these bangs, you can always hide them if you end up not liking them or you could end up loving them like Yeri does here!

Yeri parts her see through bangs down the middle to create a new hair look to change up her image.

If you’re bangs are stick-straight (like mine were) and you’re wondering how you can achieve Yeri’s clean, swoopy bang look, that’s why I’m here! First, separate your bangs evenly into two parts. Then, using a straightener, (preferably with a 1-1.5 inch clamp) take your bangs and create a backwards C-shape motion, running the straightener through your hair. When you get to the ends of your bangs, slightly flick the straightener away from your face. If it ends up being too unnatural, comb your hands lightly through your hair until you achieve the style you want. This is what will create Yeri’s natural, parting-curtain effect.

REMINDER: Always, always make sure to use a heat protectant to avoid damage, and spray a generous amount on the ends especially! These days, instead of oils or wax consistency protectants, I’ve been finding sprays much more convenient. If you’re looking for a decently priced but effective heat protectant spray, try Tresemme’s Heat Spray. It’s affordable, and most importantly, works so well on my hair. I blow dry almost every day and this leaves my hair feeling so soft and smooth, without leaving it sticky and hard like I find most hairsprays do.

Wanting to keep your long hair but sick of the same-old cut?

Go for a layered hairstyle! Layers help hair look thicker, make your face seem smaller, and suit all face-shapes  This particular style would be recommended for those looking for an easy-to-maintain, easy to dry hairstyle change…

First! Let’s see what the client’s hair looked like BEFORE the style change.

BEFORE Style Change

Notice the split ends and untamed waves. Ladies, this is what happens when you don’t use heat protectant!

AFTER Style Change

So much better! The bangs soften the model’s features and the layers at the bottom of the hairstyle help the waves to stand out more.

Back Profile

You can see that the waves start halfway through the hairstyle. With a layered haircut, it’s very IMPORTANT to not put waves and curls throughout the whole length of hair, as this can make it look messy and cause more tangles.

Side Profile

The finished look! What do you think? Will you be trying a layered hairstyle anytime soon?

Wallah~ Do you see the differences? C-curls were put at the ends of her hair, hiding any split ends and damaged ends that weren’t cut. The curls fall right under her chin, which is the perfect length for her heart-shaped face shape. See-through bangs also help create the illusion of a smaller face, without looking too blunt or thick.
