Like most Korean drama loving Singaporeans, we’ve been addicted to Netflix’s Vincenzo of late. The drama, the travel (if only we could be teleported to Italy or Korea ourselves, sigh) and the perfect good looks of stars like ‎Song Joong-ki and ‎Jeon Yeo-bin.

But of course, no Korean drama worth their weight in dramatic story plots can go without great styling, both in the clothes as well as their hair and makeup.

If you’re looking for a way to add a little oomph to your long hair, we spoke to Issac Ng, a senior director stylist at Lee Kaja, a premium Korean beauty salon located at Mandarin Gallery on tips to achieve these hairstyles, difficulty levels as well as the most suitable face shapes and hair textures for these looks.

Style tips on how to achieve it: If you have one, try to use the Dyson Airwrap Styler to create loose movements in your hair.

Take a small section to wrap around the rubber band to hide it and pin it at the base of your head.
