It’s a new season and that means we want to do away with our old hairstyles. Want to sport fringe or bangs but don’t know which style to choose? Why not get inspo from Korean actresses? From wispy bangs to curly fringe, we’ve got you sorted for your next salon appointment.
Scroll through the gallery for some seriously trendy looks.
This textured wispy bangs seen on “Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo” actress Lee Sung Kyung suit almost all face shapes. If you have a rounder face, add a little more length by having your bangs slightly past your brows. If you have a sharper face with a pointed chin, cut your bangs to just by the browline.

There is no one-size-fits-all hairstyling product to keep your bangs in place. You might want to reach for a different formula depending on your hair type. For those with straight and fine hair like Lisa from K-pop girl group Blackpink, spritz your hair with some texturizing spray to add volume and dimension. For those with naturally wavy hair, opt for a lotion-cream product to add weight to the hair and help it stay down.

If you’re wearing curls, don’t go too thick on side-swept fringe. This wispy fringe look makes you look younger and fresher.

A side-swept fringe may be exactly what you’re looking for if you don’t like having to comb your bangs every few minutes to keep them in place.

If you’re at that awkward stage where your bangs have grown out but are too short to be tucked behind your eyes, simply sweep them to the side like Suzy instead of pinning them up.

Need more framing for your face after tying your hair up? Keep the sides of your bangs long like Hye Kyo to fake the appearance of a slimmer-looking face.

If you can’t give two hoots about setting your bangs, it’s all right to comb them haphazardly and call them wispy bangs, as proven by Joy.

When pairing your wispy bangs with a bun, opt for a messy-looking one to create the illusion of fuller hair.

Fancy the doll-like look? Opt for blunt bangs like Esom. Use one of these huge velcro curlers to style it every morning (or even at your work desk).

Want to try the famous Korean curly bangs but lack the courage? Start slow by opting for curly fringe like Ryeo Won. If you really hate it later on, you can always tuck it behind your ear or pin it up.

Want bangs but hate that hair gets into your eyes whenever you blink? You’d love the above-the-brow bangs like Ki Joo. If they grow out slightly, just use curling tongs and curl the ends to make them shorter.
