The moment I get a few inches cut off my hair<\/a>, all I can think about is growing it back to Rapunzel-like tresses. It\u2019s a familiar dilemma and one I\u2019ve fallen into many times, thanks to my love-hate relationship with the bob haircut<\/a>. From the Italian bob<\/a> to the \u201cboyfriend\u201d bob<\/a>, I\u2019ve more or less tried them all, and while I do enjoy the look, there\u2019s always a part of me that misses the ease of having longer hair<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But what if there was a haircut that allowed you to dabble in both? I\u2019m talking a short, sharp bob and<\/em> flowing lengths \u2014 no post-salon regret here. Happily, there is, and it\u2019s all thanks to the innovative two-in-one haircut<\/a>, a trend that\u2019s flooding Korean hair salons and TikTok feeds. <\/p>\n

What is the Korean two-in-one haircut, and what are the benefits?<\/h2>\n

The Korean two-in-one haircut involves splitting the hair into two sections and cutting the underside straight across into a bob. The top layer is left untouched, besides a subtle trim if you need it. When the top section is tied or clipped up, it reveals the bob underneath, giving the appearance of shorter hair, and when worn down, it looks as though your hair hasn\u2019t been cut at all. Genius, right?<\/p>\n

\u201cThis style is a clever optical illusion,\u201d says hairstylist and hair trend forecaster Tom Smith<\/a>. \u201cYou get the polish of a bob when your hair is tied up, but still enjoy the length and versatility of long hair when it\u2019s down,\u201d he says. Adding, \u201cIt\u2019s perfect for anyone who wants to experiment with a shorter look without fully committing, or for those who like to switch up their vibe regularly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even better, this work with different hair lengths, says Philipp Haug, cofounder of Haug London Haus<\/a> hair salon, who recalls doing many of these cuts \u2014 a step up from the undercut \u2014 in the early \u201800s: \u201cOne person might have a shorter baseline and another might prefer something more mid-length, but then when you put the hair down, you\u2019ve got a long haircut no matter what length you\u2019ve gone for underneath.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mercedes, a hairstylist<\/a> at The Young American<\/a> in California, has recently cut several of these styles. She thinks it\u2019s a lot of fun: \u201cI love both long and short haircuts, so I\u2019m always excited to do one of these,\u201d she says. Mercedes suggests it\u2019s a more wearable version of the also-viral \u201cjellyfish\u201d haircut,<\/a> which is shorter on top and longer underneath. \u201cThe two-in-one Korean cut is like this, but flipped,\u201d says Mercedes, allowing you to conceal the shorter section and wear your hair up or down with ease.<\/p>\n

Which hair types suit the Korean two-in-one haircut \u2014 and which don\u2019t?<\/h2>\n

Haug points out that this cut works especially well on medium to thick hair, as the underneath needs to be proportioned correctly. \u201cWhen you cut the underneath short, you need to have enough length left on top to fall over the top of it,\u201d he says. <\/strong>Smith agrees that a cut like this works best on thick or medium-density hair, and this is because there\u2019s enough hair bulk to split into two lengths. \u201cStraight to wavy textures will find it easiest\u201d, he says, \u201cas the contrast between layers is more defined and the hair holds its shape.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Smith adds that those with very fine hair might not have enough weight to disguise the shorter undercut when worn down, so it could peek through and look slightly disjointed. \u201cVery curly or textured hair will need to be styled to allow the disconnection to fall into place as desired,\u201d Smith says.
Mercedes points out that if you have very<\/em> thick or curly hair, this might not be the cut for you. This is because you\u2019ll likely need to put the top part up often, adds Mercedes, which could feel too heavy or put strain on claw clips.<\/p>\n

@ampersand.salon.sg<\/a> Korean viral 2 in 1 hairstyle, Long hair or short hair? Why not both! This cut works best with long, thick hair.

What\u2019s the maintenance like for the Korean two-in-one haircut?<\/h2>\n

Unlike the jellyfish cut, which requires regular trims to stay in shape, the reversed two-in-one haircut is surprisingly low-maintenance, says Smith: \u201cThe shorter underlayer is hidden most of the time, so you won\u2019t notice regrowth as quickly as you would with a typical bob,\u201d says Smith. He believes you can easily go a few months between trims, much like with very long hair. \u201cIf you do find yourself wearing the shorter length more frequently, you may prefer to have it trimmed more regularly or start the length at a slightly shorter point so that you keep it looking sharp more of the time,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n

If you want to maintain a clean trim, Mercedes recommends visiting the salon every eight to 10 weeks. \u201cOtherwise, the shorter pieces will start to look a little funky,\u201d she says. That is, unless you\u2019re growing out the underside of your hair. In that case, you can simply let it do its thing.<\/p>\n

As expected, the comments<\/a> are full of questions \u2014 mainly, are there any downsides? Underneath a video of the haircut posted to Instagram by Hove Salon<\/a>, one person replied that they have no regrets since their hair is much lighter and easier to dry. That said, they noted it can be a bit inconvenient when trying to tie all their hair up, like when brushing their teeth or washing their face, as it now takes both a claw clip and a headband to keep the long and short pieces out of the way.<\/p>\n

@18hens<\/a> HAIR INSPO CREDIT: @hmn.2ve !!! Disclaimer: this cut works best with long, thick hair. Get a consultation before you decide! Thank you Taya Salon for always making my hair ideas come to life \ud83e\udd70 my stylist today is Jayden!! He\u2019s from LA and very cool. So what do you think?

What should I ask for if I want the Korean two-in-one haircut?<\/h2>\n

Thanks to its low-maintenance nature and the versatility of wearing your hair two ways, Mercedes thinks this trend will be everywhere soon: \u201cIt\u2019s a two-in-one haircut! Who hasn\u2019t had the \u2018Should I go short or leave it long?\u2019 struggle? I think everyone has said this at some point.\u201d<\/p>\n

Likewise, Haug thinks this style is a really good introduction to shorter hair. \u201cEspecially if you want a bob haircut but aren\u2019t confident enough to take the plunge,\u201d he says. \u201cThis is like an in-between step.\u201d<\/p>\n

So how do you ask for the two-in-one cut? Photos might not do it justice, so it\u2019s best to show your hairstylist the cut in action. TikTok offers plenty of inspiration<\/a>, but since it\u2019s still a relatively new trend, it\u2019s only been shown on a select few hair types, typically straighter hair. If you\u2019re unsure whether it will work for you, consider booking a (usually free) consultation with your hairstylist before committing to the full chop.<\/p>\n
