Celebrities like Sulli, Han Ye Seul, SNSD's Taeyeon and Jessica Jung, and also Lee Sung Kyung, embraced a new hair trend that was coined Korean hippie perm bangs. Many thought that the hippie perm trend first started when Kim Go Eun sported a whole head of it in "Cheese in the Trap". While the whole head hippie perm overflowed on the magazine spreads, many decided to have the hippie perm just on the bangs for a more subtle approach.

The hippie perm bangs is especially suitable for those who are growing out their bangs, or those with their bangs at an awkward length. Part your bangs and use a curling iron to get some tighter curls onto your bangs. Continue to curl the sides and the back of your hair and give them some waves to complete the look.
