Curl your ends in

Achieve Seohyun’s c-curl hairstyle by curling the ends of your hair towards your face with a flat iron or a curling iron. Alternatively, if you choose to use a blow dryer, start blow drying at the top, about 15cm away from your scalp and maintain that distance throughout to prevent your hair from drying out. When blow drying, instead of concentrating the heat on one area, remember to move your blow dryer around. Lock in the shine by finishing off with a blast of cool air.

Sport the low pony
image

Having short hair shouldn’t limit you from trying out different hairstyles. To amp up the classic low ponytail look, section your hair into two parts. Section out your hair from the ears, tease it and push up from the back to create volume before securing it with bobby pins. Grab the rest of your hair and gather it into a low ponytail with a hair tie.
