Short bob or long layers? How about both!
If you’re new to HairTok community, let us fill you in with the latest buzz in the grooming world – the viral 2-in-1 Korean haircut! As the name suggests, the trendy chop is a mix of two popular hairstyles – a short bob and a long-layered cut with a face-framing effect.
The look consists of a short layer that calls to mind an undercut regrowth and a longer top layer with graduated ends. And the fun part is that you can easily switch between styles in no time! Here is how.
When styled down, the crop takes the form of a mid-length haircut with long layers that cascade nicely along the sides and create a wispy feel. You get a soft version of a hush cut – a live-in trim with flippy ends and subtle layering throughout the length. This shape allows you to keep your tresses long and remove the bulk for a more manageable result and minimal effort.
For styling, it’s enough to use a round brush with a blow-dryer to make those layers more visible and defined. To save some time, use a straightener for flippy ends. Apply only lightweight products to maintain that wispy and effortless feel.
Need to go shorter for a day? No problem! Just gather the top layer in a half bun to reveal the undercut section, and you’ll get a fuss-free bob look. This hidden section is cut blunt, unlike the rest of the hair, to imitate the classic neck-length style.
Basically, you mask your longer strands in a half updo to sport those closely cropped tendrils. Now, for the ultimate hair transformation trick, let your tresses down so that they go back to a longer style again.
The hair fans can’t get over the trendy hairstyle, especially those who struggle with thick and heavy locks. “Not gonna lie, that’s actually genius,” one user writes. “I have too much hair but I like having long hair, but it’s literally torture during the summer, so let’s see if I can find a salon that can do this,” another person shares.
As beautiful and practical as it might seem, the viral haircut is fit for thick tresses only (sorry, thin hair girlies!) and requires special care. Firstly, you can’t pull it up in a high ponytail because the undercut layer will stick out. Secondly, the style needs regular trims to maintain that contrasting length and smooth layering. If you’re okay with that, give it a try!
