Known as one of the queens of rocking shoulder-length hair, Itzy’s Ryujin is often seen styling her hair in different colours and styles. From brightly bleached colours to highlights and extremely dark colours, this girl has definitely done it all.
Styling tip: Light coloured highlights look especially good with shoulder-length hair. Recent trends such as the half & half, where the lighter bleached colour is on the bottom of your hair and a natural looking colour is on the top, would look ultra good with medium length hair!
2. Itzy’s Lia

Famous for pulling off the shoulder-length hair since the Korean survival show, Idol School, Saerom has also tried various hair lengths from a bob to long hair. However, nothing beats her iconic shoulder-length hair look. Even her members from Fromis_9 has expressed their love for this length on her!
Styling tip: When dealing with shoulder-length hair, make sure that your hair always has volume. This helps to ensure that your mid-length hair is accentuating your face shape. As seen on Fromis_9’s Saerom, volume is emphasised on her roots to prevent her hair from looking too flat!
