Hello! Many of you are probably wondering, “Should I try it?” after seeing the styles of Korean male actors these days.
Today, we’ve compiled a comprehensive guide to the men’s leaf cut and perm styles, which create the most sophisticated yet soft image. Let’s take a look at the elegant lines resembling leaves.
- What is a Leaf Cut?
Like its name suggests, a leaf cut is a haircut that embodies the shape of a leaf. It features hair flowing naturally backward, resembling the graceful curves of a leaf.
Beginning of the Trend: Around 2020, this style sparked a “long hair craze” with stars like Lee Dong-wook, Park Bo-gum, and V (BTS) sporting it.
Characteristics: The bangs are long enough to fall below the eyebrows, the sides are naturally swept behind the ears, and the back hair is long enough to frame the neckline.
- Recommended for: A leaf cut is the ultimate look, but every little detail is just as crucial.
Face Shape Complementation: It naturally conceals the forehead, making it ideal for those with a wide forehead or angular face shape. It gently contours the face, creating a more gentle impression.
Androgynous Appeal: Like comedian Jang Do-yeon and actress Park Gyu-young, many women are opting for short haircuts these days. It’s a captivating style that evokes a sexy and soft vibe for men and a chic and sophisticated look for women.
- Difficult to Maintain? A Leaf Perm is a Must!
For those with straight hair, a leaf cut can cause the hair to fall flat, creating a bowl cut look. This is where a leaf perm comes in.
Pros of a Leaf Perm:
Natural Volume: It adds volume to the crown and bangs, creating a three-dimensional effect.
Easy Maintenance: Simply shampoo and blow-dry your hair backwards to achieve a windswept look.
C-Curl Harmony: Light C-curls at the ends will help your hair settle beautifully behind your ears without sagging.
- Tips Before Trying a Leaf Cut
Securing Length: A leaf cut requires longer hair than you might think. The bangs need to reach the tip of your nose to create a proper line, so be patient and grow it out!
Texturing: Excessive hair can look suffocating. The key is to lightly texture your hair with texturing.
Product Usage: Create a “wet hair” look with polish oil or a light curling cream for a trendier look.
If you’re looking to break free from stereotypes and find your own unique style, consider a leaf cut and perm. Transform your look with the unique ease and sophistication that long hair brings!
