4 Iconic Korean Hairstyles for Men
I’ve been through the struggle of finding the best men’s hairstyle for my fine hair. Whenever I find an interesting hairstyle that I want to try, I realised that it would not work.
If you have a typical Asian hair’s texture and quality, a lot of Caucasian hairstyles will not work as nicely, unless you use copious amounts of Gatsby’s Moving Rubber. Even then, just maybe on a good hair day.
Two-block hair cut for Asian men with medium length hair
Not to worry, with the recent K-pop phenomenon, there are so many options now. Just make sure that you find the right style for you!
I usually bring a picture of the hair I want to my trusted Korean hairstylist and they would discuss with me what’s possible and how to do the styling, be it hair pomade or perming for hair.
These hair style ideas works for Asian hair
Comb over with Undercut
Comb over with Undercut for Asian men
This is a simple yet modern haircut that many have chosen lately. Combine a comb over with an undercut, and you will get what is a slick and modern look. An undercut can get high maintenance, so you can opt to get a cut without any layers at all, instead of shaving it.

Disconnected Two-Block Haircut

This medium-length two block hairstyle has been trending lately, with a lot of younger guys wearing their hair like this. Be it styled or straight, it’s a nice look that gives a neat appearance.

Whether you center part your fringe or you side swept it, it’s a great look overall and brings attention to your eyes and facial features.
Short Tousled Crew Cut
Of course, we have to mention Song Joong Ki’s signature crew cut that he started with the kdrama that we know him from, Descendants of the Sun. This haircut, when done properly, will give you a dandy and gentle look, instead of an army buzzcut.
Side-swept Fringe

Besides Park Hyung Sik’s immersive acting at play, you can also see how this hairstyle looks when it’s worn up. It works well for officewear or if you have to attend a formal event. On other days, you can simply wear it down as a casual look.
