Summer is here and it's time to switch up your style! One of the best ways to do that is by changing your hairstyle. So, you must be wondering - what's in these days? Well, you've come to the right place! Let us introduce to you the hot new trending "it girl" Korean hairstyle that's taking the internet by storm - antenna bangs!
You've heard of microbangs, curtain bangs, wispy bangs, blunt bangs, and several other variations of bangs before. However, antenna bangs are the current hot trend, especially in Korea.
This Y2K-inspired hairstyle involves pulling out the thinnest little strands of hair from the front section of your hair where you'd usually cut your bangs, and...that's about it! You can pull them out on one side of the face or both and they can be as short or long as you'd like! Anyone can do it, and it looks good on virtually everyone!
While the antenna bangs can give you a bold and striking look (as seen on Hailey Bieber below), Korea's version of the antenna bangs is more delicate and subtle.

After all, Korea loves the "effortless" look, so antenna bangs in Korea are also softer, more natural, and more inconspicuous but add a touch of feminine elegance to the face. Antenna bangs are much lighter and sparser than face-framing layers but still do a great job of enhancing the facial features.

Recently, Song HaYoon sported this hairstyle in the K-Drama "Marry My Husband", which contributed to the popularity of the antenna bangs even more. You may have also seen actresses like Go YounJung, Shin SaeKyeong, Suzy, Jeon YeoBeen, Shin HaeSun, Lim SeMi, and Kang MinAh sporting this trending hairstyle.

The antenna bangs are a quick and easy way to keep up with the current K-Trend without having to make a drastic change to your hair. There's almost no chance of them looking bad on you, and if you happen to think they do, you can just tuck them away, and no one would even know! We love that!
Then, are you going to try the trending Korean "it girl" hairstyle - antenna bangs too?
