[Korean-Style Hair Arrangements] Perfect for Sports Day! Carefully Selected Recommended and Trending Hairstyles (1–10)
Bob’s braided twin tails

Many people with bob hairstyles feel that styling options are limited and end up with the same look every day.
For those people, we recommend this twin-tail style for bobs.
You can do it even with hair that’s around shoulder length, so give it a try.
Part your hair into two sections, then starting high on the head, gradually add small sections of hair as you braid each half.
Practicing braiding regularly will improve your skills.
Twin tails create a cute vibe and are well-liked by both men and women.
Bob’s Apple Hair
https://www.instagram.com/p/CDycN5JgOko/The “apple hair” style you often see in Korean dramas and shows gets its name because the visible knot on top looks like an apple stem.
You can do it regardless of hair length, and if you tie your bangs together with it, it won’t get in the way even during intense exercise, making it very practical.
You can make it cute by finishing it a bit messy or pulling out a few strands.
It’s a super convenient hairstyle that adds a quick accent to your usual look, so definitely give it a try!
high ponytail

Recommended for those with long hair: the high ponytail.
Basically, just gather your hair into one and tie it high—that’s it.
But that alone doesn’t always give you enough volume, right? After tying it, take a small section from the top and secure it with another elastic to add height, then fan the hair out to the sides.
Finally, gently pull out a few strands to create movement, and you’re done! Adding height makes it cute even from the front, and it’s great that you only need two elastics.
Since it’s a simple hairstyle, you could also add your favorite hair accessories.
Kachimori half updo

Let me introduce the Korean-born hairstyle, the Kachimori half-up.
It’s a bun style that leaves just the ends of the hair out.
Start by gathering the top section of your hair as if you were doing a regular half-up and secure it with an elastic.
On the final pass of the elastic, twist the hair slightly and wrap it around the elastic, pulling the hair through around the mid-length so the ends stay out.
The finished look has two buns stacked vertically—one larger and one smaller.
It’s an easy hairstyle you can do with just one elastic, so definitely give it a try!
braided ponytail
https://www.tiktok.com/@akane_hair/video/7260767494233656584Here’s a braided ponytail that combines ease of movement with cuteness.
First, create a half-up style at a high position.
Tie the remaining lower hair in the same way, then combine the two into one to make a ponytail.
Next, split the gathered hair into two sections and braid each into a three-strand braid.
Finally, add thin ribbons around the elastic ties or along the braids, and you’re done! This hairstyle would be convenient for a sports festival too, since you can still wear a headband.
Have fun trying a new hairstyle while adding your own variations.
a high bun hairstyle

Because bun hairstyles are cute and resistant to coming undone, they might be perfect for a sports festival.
Since it’s a variation on a ponytail, it could be easier for those with long hair.
Split your ponytail into two sections and twist them, doing this in several steps.
Keep repeating this until about the 6-minute mark, then wrap the remaining hair around to form a bun.
Secure the bun with an elastic, and you’re done.
Curling the face-framing strands at the end will elevate the look even more.
Aim for that K-pop idol vibe and definitely give it a try!
