Korean hairstyle for men; Ivy League cut
We’ve prepared A to Z of the men’s style Ivy League cut that has dominated the 2020 year in Korea. Korean men, who preferred dandy cuts with soft images, began to pay attention to the short hair style with strong images. Along with crop cut, the Ivy League cut style, which is at the center of Korea’s short hair craze, will be introduced from now on.
1. <Home Alone> Yoo Ah-in’s Ivy League cut
In June 2020, actor Yoo Ah-in appeared in the popular Korean entertainment program <Home Alone> with an Ivy League cut.
Yoo Ah-in is a famous actor who has appeared in famous movies and dramas such as Netflix <#Alive>(2020), <The Throne>(2015), and <Veteran>(2015). That’s how much his hair resonated.
2. Short hair with strong image
It refers to hair with short sides and back hair and long upper length. The point is to press down on the top of the head and style your bangs to stretch out.
3. Fine Gradation
You can create various images by using gradation of short side and back hair. Depending on the degree of gradation, your neck can look longer, giving you a clean and cool feeling.
4. Ivy League cut and Down perm
You can also do a down perm instead of cutting the sides short. If you try short hair for the first time, it would be better to start with a down perm than to cut the sides too much.
5. Similar style — Regent cut
Regent (in Korea, ‘Regent cut’) refers to the style of cutting the entire line short, leaving the top of the head and bangs long, and raising them to a half-back. Ivy League cut is a kind of regent cut. It’s a style that many Korean male celebrities do, and it’s easy for ordinary people to challenge.
6. Similar style — Fade cut
Fade (in Korea, ‘Fade cut’) is said to be the common style of men’s cut in Europe. It is a style with gradation on the side of the hair in pomade, revealing the scalp. It features a charismatic atmosphere and macho sensibility. In Korea, I think you can see it in a magazine rather than an ordinary person.
