There’s no doubt about it – K-pop is taking over the world. With its addictive beats, perfected choreography, and incredible performers who put their heart and soul into every performance, it’s not hard to see why. One similarity that seems to run through practically every K-pop band is the eye-catching hair colors. And we’re not just talking one color that stays for years, we’re talking about constant changing and experimenting. Many fans have also worked out that a hair change often signals that new music is approaching. So if a band releases lots of new music, that equals a LOT of color changes. Did you know that the colors are never picked at random? Stylists work closely with record labels for months to work out which band member should sport which color. But let’s talk about you – have you got some cool K-pop hair color ideas in mind or do you need inspiration for your new look? Let’s begin!
K-pop hair color ideas
How do you know which color to choose? The sky’s the limit! There are so many K-pop hair colors out there that it can be hard to know where to start. What about sweet and innocent pastel shades such as pink, lavender, or blue? Or more intense colors such as bright orange, illuminous green, or fiery red? K-pop bands have been known to leave the top part of their hair natural and simply dip-dye the ends. This is a great idea if you’re a bit hesitant about going the whole way at first. Maybe not seen quite as often in the K-pop community is the use of several colors at once à la mermaid hair or oil slick hair, but there’s nothing stopping you attempting these looks iyou’re up for the challenge.
Preparing your locks for K-pop hair
While some shades can be applied right away, to achieve your K-pop idol’s hair look you may need some additional prep depending on your current hair color and the shade you’re looking to achieve. Unless you have really light locks, you may have to bleach your hair first. Luckily, it’s quite straightforward to bleach your hair at home so you can get K-pop hair as quickly as possible. Bear in mind that it could take multiple sessions to get the desired shade depending on how dark your original hair color is. Try göt2b Bleach It, which lightens up to 8 levels, so you’ll be ready for that new color in no time.
