Hair style korea

While previous research on hair style Korea focused on the changes in Korean hairstyles based on historical periods, the hairstyles of Korea and Japan have not been compared to examine their common symbolism, such as the implication of magical meanings, expression of beauty, symbol of marital status, and indication of social position and wealth. Research on common symbolism found in the hairstyles is very important in understanding anthropological and sociocultural features shared by the two nations. In social and cultural aspects, the ideas of a specific era influence hairstyles, and a country's factors combine with those from other countries due to cultural exchange.
