Summer is finally upon us, and there’s a whole lot of things K-Pop fans would love to do. In the midst of world tours here and there, there definitely will be the lucky lot of K-Pop female fans that would be breezing in and out the airport. Girls of different ages and countries would be flying to see their favourite K-Pop groups perform live in front of a foreign audience for the first time in a long while.
While you’re packing your best summer dresses and skirts, you may be considering more ways to not let the heat get the best of you. If you’ve considered trimming your locks, you will definitely want to check out this carefully thought-out list of short hairstyles to try this summer, best of all, inspired by your favourite female K-Pop idols.
1. IVE’s GaEul
Warm Fall story
Being the oldest member of IVE would definitely put you in the spotlight, and GaEul has wowed fans with her charisma and behind the scenes leadership skills continuously. For the recent “LOVE DIVE” album release, GaEul surprised fans when she boldly chopped off the blonde ends from once brown and blonde ombre hair, and came back with straight shoulder length dark brown hair. Simple, yet elegant, and even the concept images for ‘LOVE DIVE’ grabbed so many fan’s attention. You could try it too, and even flop some stray locks over your eyes to give a mysterious and boyish vibe.
2. TWICE’s ChaeYoung

Fans are definitely not surprised about this one. ChaeYoung has long been an official member of the short hair crew. From her early debut and rookie days, to this new TWICE era, ChaeYoung has sported short hair more than a few times. Her most recent this year was her shoulder length layered cut. Pair that with her outstanding black locks and star-like visuals, and you have the perfect layered cut ensemble. If you don’t have dark hair, it’s absolutely fine. Layered cuts go with any hair colour, so you’ll be able to rock this hairstyle regardless of your dye options.
3. WJSN’s DaYoung

Any "Queendom 2" enthusiast is probably still reeling from the amazing performances by the competing girl groups. During the final episode performances of newly released tracks, most idols from different groups sported new hair colors. DaYoung had fans in awe of her blunt blonde cut, with a neat side part to give the look a bit of edge. If you must try any style on this list, it has got to be this one. Extra points if you decide to dip your fingers into the blonde world. Too scared? Try semipermanent dyes ! Your summer will thank you.
4. LE SSERAFIM’s Kim ChaeWon
Inkigayo
Most fans would agree that ChaeWon pleasantly stunned them when her concept image posters were released. As if news of her long awaited second debut wasn’t amazing enough, ChaeWon had to debut her dark bob as well. The cut is exceptionally brilliant on ChaeWon—and it will be on you too, no doubt. Her raven locks were cut short in a flattering bob, and her signature full bangs completed the chic look. You could try this too, but make sure your face shape is suitable for bobs. Yes, it’s an actual thing.
5. Kep1er’s Hikaru
Mnet
Speaking of "Queendom 2" final episode, Hikaru also showed us a bold display of dye colours. As she has kept her hair fairly short since debut—shoulder length, more precisely— giving her locks more edge with the three-step dye job was a smart one. Her fore locks with blonde, mid locks designed with a cute shade of sky blue and the rest of her hair a black tone. You should definitely give this one a try, especially if you’re quite the experimental fan when it comes to hair colours. This style is more than inspirational for you.
6. VIVIZ’s EunHa

What you would describe EunHa’s hairstyle is ChaeWon’s, but with a fun twist. EunHa channels her fun personality into her black trine tresses— her cute loose curls or the inward curve of her hair tips frame her baby face in the most adorable way. This is definitely your pick if you have EunHa’s round face shape, because you can’t ever go wrong with this one during summer.
7. DREAMCATCHER’s GaHyeon

If you’re looking for a more elegant take on short hair, you will be impressed to know that GaHyeon is your go-to person for reference. Her pin-straight short black hair with a signature side part is the very definition of sophisticated grace. Trying this style would be best in a work environment, but who’s to say you can’t look your most elegant on the streets or out on a walk with your pet ?
We’d love to know what your favourite short hairstyles inspired by female K-Pop idols on this list are! Also, what other hairstyles inspired by K-Pop idols will you be trying this summer?
