Some of the Korean celebrities who have rocked the Tassel Cut Bob include Jang Nara and KISS OF LIFE’s Natty.

3. Hippie Perm

On one side, the bangs are parted or slicked back, and on the other side they are pulled down and framing/partially covering your face.

One of the actors who has made his signature style the Long Guile Cut is none other than Wi Hajun. Among other actors such as Park Seojun, and other regular individuals, this style is extremely popular in Korea at the moment.

Do you want to try these hairstyles but are worried because your hair might not be able to achieve the final look?

Don’t worry, as Korea is one of the best places for you to get a hair transplant. A hair transplant procedure involves moving hair from one part of the body where it grows more resiliently to another part where one may be experiencing hair loss.

Not only does Korea offer some of the best hair loss cure solutions, but it also offers the best aesthetic and wellness solutions. For instance, one of the wellness procedures breaking ground in Korean medical tourism these days is none other than stem cell treatment.
