If you can’t get into a relationship with a Korean idol, then try to make a K-Pop star out of your boyfriend—starting with a Korean perm
Picture this: you’re scrolling through your TikTok For You page and you see all these guys and girls with luscious, bouncy curls that look like they’re straight out of a K-Drama. You know what we’re talking about: the Korean perm. And might be thinking to yourself that your beau needs to have the same look, but there’s just one problem—your boyfriend is totally against it.
Let’s face it, the Korean perm has taken the world by storm. From K-Pop stars to everyday people, this hairstyle has become a major trend that shows no signs of slowing down. With its bouncy curls and effortless look, it’s no wonder that a lot are jumping on the bandwagon. But for those in relationships, convincing your partner to try out a Korean perm might be a bit more challenging than you think. So, we’ve rounded up five tips on trying to convince your boyfriend to look like your ultimate K-Pop bias.
Show him pictures of your favorite K-Pop stars
Let’s be real, your boyfriend probably has a crush on a K-Pop star or two. So why not use that to your advantage? Show him pictures of his favorite idols with luscious, bouncy curls and say, “Wouldn’t you look amazing with hair like that?” He might resist at first, but eventually, he’ll start to see the appeal.
Play the long game
Sometimes, the best way to convince someone to do something is to just wear them down over time. Start dropping subtle hints about how amazing his hair would look with some curls. Show him pictures of guys with Korean perms and express the appeal. Eventually, he might just give in.
Use reverse psychology
If all else fails, try using reverse psychology. Tell your boyfriend that you don’t think he could pull off a Korean perm. Say things like, “Oh, it’s probably too much work for you anyway.” He’ll want to prove you wrong and might just surprise you by getting the perm.
Go to the salon with him
Most Korean perms must be done in a salon, not a barbershop. And for moral support, especially since you were the one who did all the convincing, why not guide him join in on the experience? You can also get something done for yourself—making it a win-win situation. You can even bargain with him by getting a particular look he might like on you done as well.
