Top Korean highlighting trends: Light dyeing, earring dyeing, and hair loop dyeing

If you don’t really want to commit to a completely new hair colour, or just want to freshen up your dye job, why not consider highlights?

Highlights can work wonders on your hair, brighten up your face, and really bring a whole new perspective to you.

Tempted? Here are new Korean highlighting trends for you to really transform your look.

What’s great is that some of these looks look amazing on even short hairstyle!

Light dyeing

Girls who prefer something a bit more low-key or subtle can try light dyeing, which involves dyeing the hair lightly in lines.

This gives a bit more dimension to the hair and can be used on both short and long hairstyles to really bring a delicate look to your strands.

Black hair with pale grey light dyeing

Add some shine to your hair that will totally make you be the envy of your friends with these pale grey highlights.

Ash brown hair with subtle grey light dyeing

We’re loving how crazy pretty these super subtle grey light dyeing looks against these ash brown locks. We feel that it adds a softness without being too flashy.

Dark brown hair with caramel light dyeing

Caramel-coloured strands stand out against dark brown hair. This really shows how any colour can work with the light dyeing method.

Earring dyeing

Earring dyeing is what is sounds like, where the hair is partially highlighted by the ears, giving it an almost ‘earring’ effect.

This sort of highlight can work with long hair, but we think it looks best on short hair because of the stark contrast it gives.

Dark blue hair with light blue earring dyeing

We honestly can’t stop thinking about this beautiful hairstyle. The light blue highlights add a dreamy and fantastical feel to it.

Black hair with silver blonde earring dyeing

Here’s an example on how earring dyeing looks on a girl with long hair, and we think it makes her look more edgy.

Brown hair with pink earring dyeing

Pink earring dyeing against brown hair gives off a sweet and youthful vibe.

Hair loop dyeing

Have you ever seen any the kind of highlights that sort of frame the face? That could be hair loop dyeing, where the hair loop around the face is highlighted.

It gives an edge to even those with natural hair colour. This is also a highlight trend that is especially suitable for short hair styling.

Dark brown hair with blonde hair loop dyeing

See how the hair loop dye frames her face? Try going subtle and using colours that are a few shades lighter than your hair.

Black hair with cyan hair loop dyeing

Rather than committing to dyeing your whole head of hair, try choosing a bright and neon colour for your hair loop highlights instead.

Black hair with navy blue hair loop dyeing

Brightly coloured hair loop dyeing look good on girls with short hair too. Besides blue, pink or green could also work with naturally black hair due to the contrast.
