No doubt you’ll stand out! Do a braid and flip-through (kururinpa)!

No doubt you’ll stand out! Do a braid and flip-through (kururinpa)!

Here’s a slightly unusual braid that’s sure to draw attention at the sports festival.

It’s a technique you can use not only with long, straight hair but also with a bob, so give it a try.

The method is simple: after making a three-strand braid, take a loop of hair, do a ‘topsy tail’ (flip-through), and then continue braiding.

Even if you’re a bit clumsy, you can try it with confidence.

If you’re already used to doing regular braids, a few small tweaks make it easy to style, which is another great point.

The “low-bun” is one of the popular bun hairstyles in Korea.

It’s very easy, so give it a try.

First, gather your hair, tie it with an elastic, and make one bun.

Then use the remaining hair to create a second bun on top of the first one, and you’re done! Gently pull and adjust the bun sections to shape them.

Pulling out some tendrils or styling bangs will give a cute look.

Since it’s a secure style you can do with just one hair tie and it’s easy to move in, it’s also great for sports festivals.

K-pop idol style! 4 hair arrangement ideas

[Humidity-proof] 4 hairstyle ideas inspired by K-pop idols 🇰🇷✨ Can we stop having bangs that curl up right away, please? 🙂????
K-pop idol style! 4 hair arrangement ideas

For students worried about their bangs during the sports festival, we recommend a K-pop idol–inspired hairstyle! If your bangs are on the longer side, simply part them and do a small braid or a French braid on both sides—this will also give your face a cleaner, more defined look.

For an extra touch, split the rest of your hair into two and make twin tails; then take a small leftover section of hair, wrap it around the hair tie, and pin it in place to complete the K-pop idol vibe.

Other fresh, cute, sweat-proof ideas for sports day include two low ponytails that start with French braids directed toward the area behind the ears and transition into regular three-strand braids midway, or a half-up style that sweeps up your bangs together.

Give these looks a try!

The half-twin hairstyle that many K-pop idols, like Jang Wonyoung, wear is secretly admired by a lot of people.

It gives a more mature look, so it’s perfect when you want to change up your usual vibe.

Since it shows your ears, it’s also great for sports festivals from a cooling standpoint.

There’s a small trick to doing it: it tends to work better if you tie the elastics a little away from the roots.

If you want an even cuter finish, it’s also recommended to have a scalp-concealing powder on hand.

This is a cute hairstyle that won’t fall apart even without pins or braiding.

For a sports festival, it’s super important to stand out adorably and keep your hair secure, right? By doing a topsy tail (kururinpa), you can create a braided look.

If you pull out face-framing strands first, you’ll avoid unnecessary loosening and retying—another key point to remember.

Gently tug the hair for a tousled effect, and add a quick curl to the loose strands to instantly boost the cuteness.

Give it a try!

Y2K half-up

https://www.tiktok.com/@mahonuts09/video/7276426009291820289

“Year 2000,” abbreviated as “Y2K,” is popular among Gen Z.

It mainly refers to fashion and culture that incorporate early-2000s vibes.

Here we have a Y2K hairstyle called the “Y2K half-up.” First, leave out your bangs and the hair on both sides, and make a half-up ponytail high on your head.

Next, braid the side sections you left out into three-strand braids.

Then place the braids behind your ears, and fan out the hair from the half-up section to both sides to finish.

When doing the half-up, don’t make it too neat—keeping it slightly messy gives it a more effortless, stylish look.

Cute sheep hair without hairpins or curling iron!

A bun hairstyle you can do without a hair iron or hairpins.

It looks very elaborate, but it’s actually made only with simple three-strand braids, so even people who aren’t good at braiding can manage it.

The key is the braid that looks like a headband.

The slightly puffed section is intentionally loosened to give it that headband-like look, and the explanation for how to do this is very thorough.

The video clearly shows how to loosen it and highlights the key points, making it easy to understand.

It’s a pop and cute hair arrangement you can do even with bob-length hair!
