Introduction
As we bid farewell to 2023, it’s time to gear up for the fabulous hair trends that are set to steal the show in 2024. I’m here to introduce you to the trendiest looks that are perfect for Korean hair lovers. Buckle up, because we’re about to embark on a fabulous journey through the hair trends that will define 2024.
1. Hime Cut
The Japanese Princess Vibe
Let’s start with the Hime cut, inspired by the elegant hairstyles of Japanese animated characters. The hairstyle started trending again in Korea at the end of 2023, due to many celebrities like Actress Suzy, Girls’ Generation (SNSD) Taeyeon, Black Pink Rosé, and New Jeans perfecting the hairstyle.
Hime cut involves cutting bangs to the jawline while leaving the back long. It’s a nod to traditional Japanese beauty, symbolizing grace and sophistication. The modern twist? Light, see-through bangs that add a contemporary touch. Perfect for those who want an elegant and balanced look that embraces the charm of Japanese princesses.
Advantages: It complements an elegant look, suits various face types, and even hides those cheekbones with the right bangs.
2. Layered Cut
Volume and Movement Galore
Next up is the timeless layered cut. It is consistently loved by Korean women and is perfect for adding dynamic textures to your locks. Talented hairstylists create layers of different lengths, distributing the weight of your hair and creating volume and movement. Hence, we recommend you bring a photo to direct the perfect style you wish, especially when you go for layered cuts, as the hairstyle covers a wide range of styles.
Whether you prefer short or long hair, the layered cut offers flexibility, a soft and natural look, and various styling options. The new trend for layered cuts is with very long lengths, as done by Red Velvet Joy. It’s a go-to for those who want to add volume without sacrificing style.
3. Slick Cut
Now, let’s talk about the slick cut—a style that exudes sophistication. This neat and constant-length cut keeps your hair smooth and refined. It features highlighted contours, a neat appearance, and short sides or backs to emphasize boundaries. This style has started trending as it has become a signature hairstyle of New Jeans members.
Ideal for those who love a polished look, slick cuts are perfect for professional settings and easy to manage daily. Plus, they work well with various hairstyles, making them versatile and stylish.
4. Short Tassel-Cut
Introducing the short tassel-cut for a touch of boho-chic romance. With soft, textured ends and a carefree vibe, this trend adds playfulness to your look. It’s a perfect choice for free spirits and fashionistas alike. If you enjoy short hair but want to add a touch of elegance, this would be the best choice for 2024. The short tassel-cut effortlessly combines sophistication with a playful charm, making it an ideal style for various occasions.
5. Wolf Cut
(also known as Hush Cut in Korea)
Release your inner wild child with the long Wolf Cut. This style is called Hush cut (허쉬컷) in Korea. This trend embraces the untamed, featuring longer layers for a natural, lived-in appearance. Whether your hair is straight or wavy, the wolf cut is about embracing your unique beauty and letting your hair flow freely. It’s a bold and daring choice for those who want to stand out and make a statement.
The iconic hair length for wolf cuts is middle lengths, but these days long wolf cuts with an airy finish at the edges are also trending after NewJeans member Danielle perfected the style.
