7. Blunt Bangs with Shoulder Length Hair – Kang Mo Yeon (played by Song Hye-Kyo)
This is an effortless and cute hairdo that is worn by Kang Mo Yeon. The slight C-curl at the ends would give you the appearance of thicker-looking hair.
DV Tip: Blow dry your hair straight and curling the ends in with a round brush to get the look.
Is this hairstyle for me? This hair style suits most face shapes. However, regular trims and styling is required if you want to look like Kang Mo Yeon all the time.
8. Simple Bob – Yoon Myeong-Joo (played by Kim Ji-Won)
Who says short hair is boring? A simple bob like Yoon Myeong-Joo’s gives you a polished and professional look.
DV Tip: Maintain the look by using leave-in conditioner that is meant for straight hair, so it looks neat and soft. Make sure you avoid the scalp, though!
Is this hairstyle for me? For this hairstyle to look flattering, you’ll need the right cut depending on your hair texture. If you have very thick hair, ask for more layers to avoid looking like a mess on your bad-hair-days. However, if you have fine hair, ask for a one-length cut.
9. Chestnut Brown Lob – Choi Min-Ji (played by Park Hwan Hee)
For a more conservative hair colour inspiration, we recommend this beautiful chestnut brown colour. It’s flattering on all Asian skin tones and can help brighten the appearance of your complexion. And to get Min-Ji’s hairstyle above, simply section your hair into thirds and tie up the upper one-third into a ponytail.
Style Tip: Min-Ji has subtle curls at the ends – to get this, dampen your hair slightly and twist the ends with the fingers. For a stronger hold, use hairspray.
Is this hairstyle for me? This hairstyle is great for ladies who are trying to grow their hair out and are getting bored with shorter hair. However, since chemical dye is applied to the hair, be sure to follow-up with regular hair treatment.

10. Chocolate Brown waves with Wispy Bangs – Yoo Hye Jung (played by Park Shin Hye)
Combining wispy bangs with mermaid waves, this is a feminine look that many who are following Korean trends are inspired by.
DV Tip: Condition your hair dutifully with generous amounts of leave-in conditioner. But condition your bangs sparingly to avoid a greasy forehead.
Is this hairstyle for me? This hairstyle requires regular styling and heat, as well as regular trims to cut off the split ends. Use a flat iron to straighten your bangs if your hair is naturally wavy. If your hair is straight, use a texturizing hair lotion.
11. Blonde hair – Yoon Ji Young (played by Moon Ji In)
This hairdo is great for an edgy and adventurous look and you can consider it if you’re in need of a drastic makeover.
DV Tip: It’s easy for blonde hair to look like instant noodles, especially after regular washing and blow-drying. To combat this unflattering look, use a shine spray so that your hair will reflect light and look healthier.
Is this hairstyle for me? Going blonde is a drastic change for every Asian, you may want to check out our blonde hair for Asian tips before taking the plunge.
12. Honey-Brown Waves – Choi Kang Su (played by Kim Min-Suk)
Here’s something for the men. Kang Su’s look is trendy and hip with a hint of attitude and swag. Take note though, it may not be too appropriate for a corporate setting.
DV Tip: This hairstyle looks best when it’s a little messy – like you’ve just got out of bed. It works best with textured hair, but if you have very straight hair and want to rock this, use hair wax and twist sections of your hair to create waves.
Is this hairstyle for me? As the hair colour depends on your skin tone, consult your hairdresser about the shade of honey-brown which best suits you. Avoid this hairstyle if you don’t like having hair in your face.
