Boy Crop
Alternatively, idols like SEVENTEEN's Mingyu are trading their lengthy locks for a sleek crop, perfect for climate. Effortlessly stylish, this cut requires just a touch of product for a fuss-free look that's ready in no time.
For this cut, a texturising pomade that offers hold and flexibility is your best bet. Virtue's 6-in-1 Styling Paste offers both qualities while also provides humidity resistance, hydration, and shine.

Tousled Mullet
For his solo debut, BTS' Jungkook embraced the tousled mullet, and we're doing the same this spring. With its wild texture and playful charm, the tousled mullet epitomises a rebellious edge, ideal for individuals seeking a nonconformist aesthetic.
This mullet is all about undone, tousled tresses. Amika's Un.Done Volume And Matte Texture Spray absorbs dirt and oil for a matte finish while creating body and texture.

Milk Tea
As showcased by Stray Kids' I.N., milk tea is the ideal Korean hair trend for those yearning for subtle yet striking transformations. Reminiscent of a comforting cup of coffee, it offers a refreshing change that complements various skin tones and styles effortlessly.
It's all about the shine when it comes to muted hair colours. In other words, hydration and shine. Sol De Janeiro's Milky Leave-In Conditioner hydrates and fights frizz while leaving a delicious scent.
