Braided-style! Hair arrangement♪
Braided hairstyles are well-known as a K-style look, but they can be tricky and hard to get right.
If that sounds familiar, try this “braid-like” arrangement.
The steps are very simple: first, tie your hair into a single ponytail with a hair elastic.
Next, split the hair into two sections and tie them off alternating up and down with small gaps in between.
Finally, make a hole in one section, twist it, and pass the other section through the hole—repeat this process and you’re done! From a distance, it looks just as natural as a real braid, so give it a try.
Ultimate Cute ♡ Korean Idol Hair
K-pop idols are amazing at creating super cute hairstyles, right? Here’s a TWICE Momo-inspired hair arrangement that’s super popular in Japan.
First, straighten your hair nicely using a flat iron, and while straightening, curl the ends inward.
The key to the Momo look is to avoid a messy vibe and tie everything neatly.
Make high pigtails, secure them firmly with hair ties, and wrap a small strand around the ties to hide them.
For the pieces of hair next to your bangs, lightly curl them outward with an iron for a cute touch.
It’s a clean, tidy style, so it won’t get in the way even during a school sports day—highly recommended!
half-up bun hairstyle
A half-up bun hairstyle combines cuteness with a mature look.
Unlike a regular bun, it also gives a more polished, effortless vibe.
The general steps are: first, pull up part of your hair like a normal bun and secure it with an elastic.
Then lightly curl the side sections inward.
If you flick the hair around your ears outward, it looks even cuter.
Aim for a relaxed feel, so loose curls are enough.
It might be tricky until you get used to it, but give it a try!
5 easy Korean-style bangs arrangements
Even if you admire K‑style bangs, they can be surprisingly tricky when you actually try them.
Here are a few easy styles you can use.
First, try twisting your bangs about three times and securing them with a pin—it’s simple and a great place to start.
Once you get used to it, take about 1 cm sections with a curling iron, lift the roots, and smooth the ends to the side; this gives a more sophisticated finish and is recommended.
There are also many other methods, like creating a zigzag part in your bangs, sweeping lifted bangs diagonally, or braiding them like a hair accessory.
If any catch your interest, look them up and give them a try!
side braid
This hairstyle is a very simple look where you just gather your hair to one side and braid it.
If you’re not uncomfortable with braiding, why not give it a try? That said, just doing a plain braid isn’t very cute.
So first, style your bangs properly, then after braiding, gently pull out small sections to add volume and adjust the shape.
Curl the ends with an iron and add an accessory at the knot to boost the cuteness even more.
Side braids are a style worn by Korean idols too, so definitely try copying the look!
Double-take worthy! Headband hairstyle
A pop and cute hairstyle with a K‑idol vibe that you might not usually try can feel totally natural in the festive mood of a sports day, right? In this video, they introduce a hairstyle featuring two eye-catching buns on top of the head that looks adorable.
It seems intricate, but it’s actually simple: do the “kuru-rin-pa” (topsy tail) twice, loosen it lightly, then make a simple three-strand braid.
It’s perfect for an energetic sports day where you’ll be jumping around, and it’s also recommended for trips to a theme park with friends.
braided ponytail
Mornings on the day of the sports festival can end up being busier than you expect with all the prep, right? Here’s a video of a braided ponytail that’s perfect even for a hectic morning.
The best part is that even if you have bedhead, once you braid it, you’re good to go.
I was surprised to learn how important it is to brush first and then use a styling product.
There are also quick tips on how to loosen the braid for both round and long face shapes, which is super helpful.
Give this effortlessly chic braided style a try!
