What Is Bada Lee-Inspired Hair? Here's Everything You Need To Know

Bada Lee-Inspired Hair

Hair trends come and go - what may be considered trendy last season may not be now. If you plan to give yourself a hair makeover with the new year ringing in, one hairstyle you might want to consider is the Bada Lee-inspired hair.

For the unacquainted, Bada Lee is the leader of the winning dance team, BEBE, from the Korean reality show Street Woman Fighter Season 2. Not only has she made headlines for her sleek and sharp moves, but she has also garnered attention for her unique style.

Look at it this way - the Bada Lee hair is an evolution of peek-a-boo hair, where you have two layers of hair, each with a different colour. The top layer "hides" the bottom layer, which occasionally peeks out when you tuck your hair behind your ear or when you tie your hair up. Such a hairstyle allows you to experiment with different colours without fully committing to just one.

What's unique about Bada Lee's hairstyle is her choice of incorporating the peek-a-boo element into her fringe, and accentuating the sides that frame her face, somewhat similar to the "halo" effect. The halo hair colouring technique emphasises the shape of your face by highlighting the strands closest to your face.

Instead of hiding the coloured layer, Bada Lee acknowledges that there are indeed two different layers.

How to achieve the look

Besides showing photos of Bada Lee to your hair stylist, let them know that you're looking for an upgraded version of the peek-a-boo hairstyle, with highlights around your face. You can choose to bleach your hair just like Bada Lee, or opt for a shade that best suits your skin tone.

To diversify the styling of your new look, consider playing with braids for a youthful look or curling your hair to add more volume. After all, a hairstyle is a unique way to express your individuality.
