If you’re afraid of committing to a completely new colour, or simply want to refresh the look of your hair, why not go for highlights?

Highlights can really do wonders for your hair, light up your face, and bring a whole new perspective to you.

Today, we have some new top Korean hair colouring trends for you to transform your look. What’s great is that some of these looks work for shorter hairstyles too! Keep reading to get inspired.

Light dyeing

Those who prefer something more subtle or low-key can try light dyeing, which involves highlighting their hair lightly in lines.

This can be done on both short and long hairstyles to really bring a delicate look to your strands as it adds more dimension.

We’re loving how beautiful this super subtle grey light dyeing looks against these ash brown locks. It adds a sort of soft feel to it without being too flashy.

Light dyeing doesn’t need to done specifically against grey or dark hair, as caramel-coloured strands contrast perfectly against dark brown hair.

Earring dyeing

Earring dyeing sounds just like how it is named, where the hair is partially highlighted around the ears, almost appearing like earrings.

While this highlight style can work with long hair, shorter hair looks better with this because of the stark contrast it gives.

Here’s how earring dyeing could look on a girl with long hair, and we think it makes her look edgier.

Pink earring dyeing against brown hair looks so sweet and youthful that we’re almost tempted to try out this colour combination for ourselves.

Hair loop dyeing

Seen any girls with highlights that frame their face? That could be hair loop dyeing, which involves highlighting the hair around the face.

Another highlight trend that is especially suitable for short hair styling, this one really helps to accentuate the face and make it look smaller.

See how the hair loop dye frames her face and makes it look smaller and more youthful? You could even go subtler by taking it a few shades lighter than your hair colour too.

Instead of committing to a new hair colour all over, try going for a bright and neon colour for your hair loop highlights instead.

A bright colour also looks good on those with short hair too. Perhaps even red or pink could work with naturally black hair.
