When I first saw Karina's damaged hair, I was so shocked 😭 Goodbye Karina's healthy hair 😓😖
I know!!! Her hair was so beautiful and luscious. Her hair was the 6th member Aespa.
Edit: 5th member naevis calling
Wait 6th member?
@@UrfavoriteMultistan it's a joke lol, it's like saying karina's hair had a personality itself too
@@xuuu3 then shouldn't they say 5th member??
@@moneyhdjdidi the 5th is naevis haha
As a former hair stylist, I just want to say something. Is dyeing hair bad? Of course, but because most companies want instant color results, a stylist will have to use most like 30-40 vol to get hair that bright blonde in a short period of time. That’s what the damage really is. You’re just blasting the hair with the strongest chemicals and then using more heat to make hair look pretty and healthy. And to dye it to a natural color (I assume with permanent color which also has equally as strong chemicals) is just adding more stress
Especially for Asian people with naturally black/very dark brown hair, isn't it strongly recommended to gradually lighten it over multiple sessions? The least these companies can do is factor in hair changes and multiple salon appointments and breaks when preparing for a new comeback.
@@kairos-049 As someone with very dark hair who used to lighten it multiple times to get the brass out, you still get damage. Harsh chemicals on your hair will never make it look healthy.
I hope they are at least using demipermanent haircolor e.e
@@kairos-049 especially because color doesn’t lift color. So if you have hair that was dyed brown, if you put a blonde color on top, it doesn’t actually lighten it, it more so tones it. The only real way to lighten hair is bleach.
I was just offended when the V.O. was ragging on the stylists. Stylists can only do so much and they are only doing their jobs. And also hair extensions are really hard to blend in. It’s hard to find exact color matches and if you layer extensions too much you can cause tension alopecia. There is always wigs but idk if Korean stylists have the proper skills to secure a wig correctly.
@@ikeeneye that’s what I used to do. It makes a difference, but with how extreme the color changes are for some idols, I doubt it.
I've said it for YEARS now. Let. Them. Wear. Wigs! It lets the idol retain their healthy hair and the label can still have the colors they want for a comeback. Wigs are also a protective style for natural hair. Just stop dying their hair every month.
frr it’s not like the companies aren’t rich enough to afford them
@@goldenhourss ik! like even if they went the expensive route and did authentic human hair, they could afford it! Definitely SM of all companies. Karina's hair was a part of her beauty that drew me to aespa when they debuted. To see it already fried and dying as if she's done 10 comebacks and 2 solos makes me so sad.
that wouldn't be natural enough 🥴🥴
Same here. It's that simple
They are hot and miserable. You want to stay on stage for hours under the hot lights with a long ass wig on your head, lace front or not? Plus the time and energy it takes for a team to put wigs on their idols for performances. When idols do wear wigs, they are always noticeably wearing one.
Kpop industry just needs to be improved a lot in general
Agreed
That’s why some Jpop idols have heathy hair then Kpop idols without dying multiple times
It is failing in soooo many regards...
for me sm is the worst kpop company. they don't take care of the idols. they treat them as robots unlike other companies. sm really damage too the imagine and perception of kpop industry as toxic.
also this company has the idols that most do suicides
Kpop industry just want money, they doesn't really care about their artists. Because they know they can make new idols if the old one lost. After years of fanning kpop industry, the more you will see the darkest side of it. Most of the kpop industry just mining money through their artists, it their artists who suffer both physical and mental.
Honestly they should get wigs for idols if they really want their hair to change that often. They have so much money, might as well buy wigs with it. It will help them so much. Both sides will be happy.
EDIT: To the people saying wigs cannot look realistic, you clearly haven't seen modern wigs. Wig placement can look highly realistic depending on the technique used to place it. Also, extensions could also work. They are more permanent for things like promotions & concerts.
Another EDIT: There's a lot of people in the comments saying the same thing as me. K-pop idols should be able to just wear wigs. Periodt. It's safe for their hair. They shouldn't have to damage their hair for their careers. Also to the one triggered person in the comments, please stop. This is not a court case. You know who you are.
XG wears wigs and I am so happy that they do this
Didn't winter and Giselle have a wig for Next Level? They could've just done that again lol.
@@kayliawilson8842 SO MUCH BETTER than bleaching + dyeing every comeback
@@strudelh Yess idk why they're so set on harming their actual hair bro...they earn so much money that they could easily find budget to purchase wigs every comeback. And maybe OCCASIONALLY dye artists' hair maybe once a year or smth with artist's consent.
@@Seventeenstan1317 it's almost like the older, fat managers and CEOs are jealous of their young virile artists and low key sabotage them by starving them, ruining their hair, forcing plastic surgery on them, overworking and underpaying them. The elders in SK really take advantage of their power over their subordinates
Its not only SM entertainent, its the whole Kpop industry.
Yes even new jeans 😢
@@saaramohamed8921 Hanni leggit had the fullest and most beautiful hair in the industry. They leggit debuted a couple months ago and their hair is fried. Like just buy some qualiy wigs. Same with Daniels hair. Even Blackpunk Lisa said her hair wont even grow back anymore, because it is so damaged.
@@jamiefooddreamer6381 Sim, os cabelos da Rosé estão pedindo socorro até hoje.
@@jamiefooddreamer6381 And taehyung
Karina looks so beautiful with blonde hair, but she is probably one of the few idols that I didn't want to see go blonde. Her dark hair seemed so healthy and lustrous, it's a shame that it's damaged now. I even worried for Ningning's hair for the length of time she's been blonde over the past year or so. Why doesn't SM invest in wigs instead of dying idols hair? Especially if they insist on changing their hair with every comeback. The stylists could install the wigs for music videos, live shows, and appearances, and then the idols could go home in their natural hair. On the topic of hair, I often worry for Dawn and HyunA's hair. Although Dawn's hair looks a bit healthier now, their hair usually looks so damaged from all of the bleaching and dying. In recent years I think HyunA's hair was most beautiful during her "I'm Not Cool" era.
I think she looks average with blonde hair, just like Jennie from BP. They look so much better with their natural hair color.
@@susiex6669 yes same with jennie when she had orange hair she only looked very good when she had makeup on dark brown/ black looks phenomenal on her
honestly blonde hair doesn't even suit her. She looks good but that's only because of her pretty face. She looked amazing with her dark-purple hair, dark-blue hair and black hair, these are definitely her colors - she seems like a deep winter archetype and these colors emphasize her features, while blond/light brown - only wash them out. SM bleached her hair just for the sake of change, and that's so frustrating.
I like how Wonyoung stylists stay consistent in keeping her hair in different shades of brown/black, it's always been that way and nobody has an issue. Idk maybe Karina's change was tied to the fact that Aespa performed for the Barbie movie, and the company wanted to make a refference through her appearance, it would make sense, but I still hope her hair will go back to normal as soon as possible.
@@susiex6669 I think Karina looked better when she had the platinum blonde she dyed some days later. The previous blonde colour washed her out, but Karina looks like a Barbie with the new blonde hair. While Jennie looks best in lightbrown hair.
@@paladiana-maria8610oh absolutely, winter colours are definitely karina
Karina’s hair was so pretty 😭 literally perfection, and she also look better with darker hair, so they basically ruined her hair to probably dye it black some weeks later…
As someone who bleached and dyed my hair A LOT in the past, I know what it's like to have straw hair. I feel really bad for Taeyoung, because he got chemical burns on his scalp due to all the bleaching and dyeing. Speaking from experience, it's going to take him a lot of time to heal from it
I burned my scalp one time and I got tiny scabs on my head that looks like lice LOL. It was so itchy and I got obsessed with picking the scabs.
I can't help but wonder if he's also more at risk for such severe reactions because he has a known history of atopy (that's how he got his rose scar). His skin is likely more sensitive and he could be getting allergic contact dermatitis too.
Well that sucks 😢
@@tiffanykim2773 it does! I just hope Taeyoung is receiving treatment and that SM finally decides to be more reasonable towards their artists' wellbeing
It's still baffling to me why SKorea has not popularized letting their idols sport wigs during promotions. Knowing how much more versatile their artists can be when they sport wigs (which is easier to take on and off), it should be less damaging to their artists' real hair than constantly changing up the hair colours.
I remember Yoon from Winner saying he wears wigs on Heechul's Life Bar show. His candor made me instantly like him.
Yup so baffling 🥴
many black female artists use colorful wigs for music video/promotions and look absolutely amazing! their natural hair is safe and can do any hair style/hair color without the damage. i myself wear wigs occasionally and it's great to be able to have different hair styles/colors WITHOUT the damage. this would be perfect for the kpop industry who loves a quick image/color change, yet they have seen to make the shift...
Exaaaactly, I'm black and my sis puts braids in my hair for me as a protective style that's also cute and wearable so as not to damage my hair. Wigs etc would help them SO much.
She herself has beautiful dreadlocks. 🥰
I agree
People on social media need to get lives instead of being so toxic to others for literally pointing something out 🙄🙄
@@Seventeenstan1317 wth are you talking about LMFAO
edit: i found ur comment, it's just saying they should use wigs, we had the same idea what r u whining about
@@aeong_bread uhh I said it seems a bit copied? No need to get so pressed about it?
@@Seventeenstan1317 there is literally nothing copied, you are VERY weird...
I'm so so devastated for Karina's hair. That might seem drastic but her hair was so so strong and healthy and it took her years to grow it out like that, years! It's so sad they stripped her of her beautiful healthy hair. 😢
To think that Karina´s hair was dyed blonde pre-debut we can imagine how damaging this whole process was to her hair. She dyed her hair black to debut and for sure there was still dark pigment at her ends even after the medium lenght haircut.
What's sad is that you can't reverse the damage, what's done is done. I know hair isn't everything but I honestly think I'd cry if i lost my hair texture and it became "crunchy" as Taemin described it. I'm glad Red Velvet does mostly natural hair looks now.
Hair stylist here, it’s actually better to bleach the roots on a set schedule (typically every 4 weeks) rather than letting it get too long. If it gets too long it is a much harder process to try and get it all to an even canvas if the client’s desire is to remain a blonde color. If the roots are more than 1/2 an inch it can cause banding when you lighten the hair as the scalp produces heat naturally on its own but pass that length the hair no longer benefits from that heat so the stylist must lighten any length between that “hot zone” and what was previously bleached without overlapping onto the previously bleached hair. Overlapping is what tends to damage the hair, and some people’s scalps are just not meant to handle how harsh bleach is either 😭
@@PD-qg5cx oooh! I see, I'll adjust my comment but thanks for informing me :D
I forgot who said it but an interviewer asked how they keep it healthy and a male kpop idol said that it's not healthy it only looks that way. People don't realize how much photoshop is used in both videos and photos. I think that extensions are used for both female and male idols.
It's impossible to keep hair healthy when it is being bleached every two weeks and heat, styling gel/cream is being applied to it everyday. Doesn't matter how much heat protectant you use or how often you use treatments or conditioners.
Also, if your burn or damage your scalp and hair follicles not even hair transplants will help. Your hair will never grow back in that area.
Taeyong was actually the one who said the hair isn’t healthy.
The random clip of Jungwoo wearing his princess wig I can't HAHAHAHAHA
I was concerned then BOOM Rose Jungwoo appears, I let out the loudest laugh 😂
Whenever an idol who has beautiful long black hair bleaches their hair a piece of me dies 😢
kpop companies need to invest in good quality wigs, end of story. Considering how much money SM idols make for the company, the least the company can do is to get wigs so that they won't be subjected to all these dyeing. I felt sorry for Taeyong when they said he was in physical pain every time he bleached his hair.
Poor Taeyong, bleaching hurts him so bad but he’s been doing it constantly for years at a time. While he looks amazing w black hair.
I don’t understand why companies don’t just let idols wear wigs! Instead of forcing them to damage their hair! Wearing wigs and the techniques surrounding them is so advanced to the point that they look natural depending on how you wear them. This in turn could help them when dealing with new comebacks and concepts. It terrifies me to see how much damage Taeyong’s hair and scalp has suffered all these years. And to find out that the dyeing and bleaching process is painful for him is infuriating. I don’t understand the whole new comeback new hair thing. I wouldn’t mind if an idol keeps their natural hair for all their comebacks. There should be a focus on their music, their clothes, and mv concept not their hair.
That’s totally your opinion and it’s fair, but tbh I look forward to their new hair too. It’s just as much a part of their identity as artists as their clothes and makeup are.
Imagine dancing so hard your wig just flies off LOL.
@Annabeth Yeung it might all fall off at some point and won't grow out again, you got nothing to "look forward to" then.
I think it's exciting to see idols change up their hair but in some very unfortunate cases, the hair will stop growing and look awful
@@yasminchan7425 that person has literally been dragging me in the comment I wrote saying that idols should wear wigs. They were so triggered and for what? 🤷♀🤡
@@pix1943 wigs now a days are attached to scalp with glue, I assure you they won't fall off even someone will pull your hair. You might slap that person because it surely hurts like a real hair.
The image of idols is fun and bright that extends to their hair, they experiment with the different hair colours but too much dyeing, bleaching, extensions etc will strip the hair and damage it irreversibly. They all look so much better in their natural hair colours, the company should protect and promote that more, natural is always best and the health of the idols should always come first
Bad hair extensions in kpop has haunted me for years. 💀
Sm artists need to stop getting their hair dyed. Especially the bleaching. Idols are losing hair at such a young age. Bleaching and dying your hair continuously damages the scalp
This situation literally reminds me of years ago when fans spotted chanyeol had a bald spot when his hair was dyed bright red
"SM artists needs to stop dying the idols hair 💀"
RIP Karina's long and beautiful hair 😭 I hope her hair recovers. I've seen Irene's hair recovery and it seemed successful
Lisa of blackpink says that her natural hair barely grows anymore. I guess that's why she uses wigs the most out of the group.
hair dying in K-pop is a lot, but that's not the only issue. curling and straightening hair is a big issue and because of it, even newly debuted idols are slowly having damaged hair. an example is new jeans Danielle. She had naturally wavy hair and ador (her company) let her keep it that way for attention, but then after that, they would constantly straighten it, and now it's pretty damaged and she's even having hair loss. and it's been only a year into her debut
her hair loss could be also due to her low body weight. i saw a predebut video where she was at a much healthier weight. she was slim, but looked healthy. now she sadly looks anorexic. i hope she has no health issues, but i doubt it.
@@agircekim Yeah i never thought of it from that way. its probably both reasons
@@sofiahaque7990 yes, she's probably malnutritioned. i had a bad gastritis a few years ago and ate so litte that i lost a lot of weight. it caused me hair loss too. so it definitely can be a reason. as i ate well again, the hair grew back. i hope danielle eats well too and gets healthy.
@@agircekim yea same, she's just 17 and she already has issues like these
The kpop industry needs to get introduced to wigs...
And idol therapy..r.i.p Moonbin you'll shine forever 💔
Kpop industry need learn about Jpop, when some majority of 48 never dying their hair
Can u just stop disrespecting him, by bringing his name under videos which has no relation to him
How is commenting that the industry needs to address the problems they create? Especially when idols including him CLEARLY need therapy for mental health. How is that coherent argument disrespectful?
It’s crazy because they can LITERALLY dye and color wigs for that. They need to start training hairstylists over there how to sow wigs, and make it more accessible. Human hair needs to be more accessible as well. As much money as the entertainment industry has grown, there should be no synthetic shit at all. One thing I dislike about Blackpink a stylist is that they literally throw on synthetic wigs and it shows. Lisa’s wig for all her born pink tour looked so bad, I wanted to cry for her. Same thing with Jennie and let’s not talk about rose. They way they put in her extensions are so bad, I wanna pray for her. The way the wigs are all one length and you can tell where the real hair ends is insane. That should definitely be taught in school. Ain’t no way nobody said anything about that
I recently dyed my hair for the first time pink a month ago. I didn't even dye the roots and my hair is constantly falling out in chunks to the point where I think I'm balding. Not to mention, it's super frizzy and dry. to the point where I have decided I'm never dying my hair and seriously considering getting a bob cut already. Idk how these idols dye their hair, including roots like every 4 months like this. If it's like this for me, I can't imagine the stress their hair is under even with access to all the hair products and treatments.
When i was like 16 i dyed my hair red🥲, It wore out a lot and I was losing volume. In order for my hair to grow back like before, I had to cut almost all of it (I'm black) and leave it in an Afro so that it would grow back healthy. Although I like dyes, I can never do it again.
Philip Kingsley's bond builder treatment will fix this for you ❤️
"Why does a company like SM entertainment who has all the money, resources, and connections; not put any importance on their artists hair?" They do not even put importance on the artists _themselves._ As long as people keep supporting SM they will continue to hurt artists in their company. Something needs to be done regarding that company.
Not just the dyeing. It can’t be healthy to constantly have your hair curled/straighten, put in hair styles that cause breakage. AND most constantly have products like hair sprays. Because of the industry, idols don’t have a prayer for healthy hair. Any good stylist knows hair needs breaks, you can’t be using so many harsh chemicals and heat without some really terrible consequences
So…. Why are Kpop companies NOT utilising more realistic wigs??????
It’s not like we have a wig shortage, they’re not impossible to make. Get a good wig stylist, and get a good hair stylist to braid or set up their hair in a wig cap well enough, and we won’t know what’s real or not!
A good example of this was when VIXX’s N wore an ash brown wig during “Eternity,” in the music video and on stage, since he was also in a drama at the same time.
Wigs are also utilised in girl groups, depending on the concept and personal scheduling.
Wig it up, y’all, it’s more fun And surprisingly way more affordable in the long run, as opposed to going bald earlier than one wants.
I don't know why k pop artists don't embrace wigs?
Companies too lazy
They can’t even install extensions correctly. Does anyone think they can install a wig properly without destroying their hairline?
soyeon of idle i think has some of the most damaged hair in the industry if you look at some of the lives where she's chilling in her room her hair looks like is barely hanging on to her scalp
Tbh with SM and this concept for Aespa, the least worrying aspect is hair health because of dyeing. Hair is an indicator of overall health not just dyeing but internal processes, lack of sleep/ nutrition, stresses and deficiencies. I'm more worried for Aespa and future surgeries expected of them as they age. At early 20s just to debut they had so much done to be "perfect". I really worry how accepting of this we are as Kpop consumers, as if the idols really have any choice. Do you know it takes upto ONE whole year for the body to heal internally from trauma of surgery? Can Kpop fans unite and start promoting acceptance of visuals and diversity and supporting an idols' interests?
It's so sad they can't do anything about it but I mean look at SNSD's Hyoyeon, she had so many hair color changes and still have hair intact.
I think it's not SM's fault alone. I mean every comeback u want to have a different look or fit to the concept u are promoting at the time but there are a lot of idols from SM that doesn't dye their hair most of the time. Seohyun, Yoona, Yuri, Sooyoung and Tiffany were black hair most of the time on their active years. Almost all of RV members stayed black hair and if I remember Irene mentioned that she can't dye her hair to purple/violet again since it damaged her hair so i think idols do have still the freedom if they want to dye their hair or not.
Kyungsoo and Chen also don't dye their hair that much.
They don’t. There are certain idols that the company will want them to keep a “natural” look, and maybe as they get more popular/successful they can exert some influence on their stylistic choices, but for the most part the company is micromanaging that
I agree. I think the artists have at least as much say as the company has on what to do with their hair (more on older artists). NCT have been asking fans to choose between two colors and even ask for suggestions on what color they want their hair to be dyed next. At most, I feel like the company would suggest some colors that fit the concept and it would be up to the artists if they'd do it or not.
Ik hair grows back, but I don't want this to be the start of another idol getting bald patches or damaged ends, Karina's hair was so nice. 😭
Like they can have dyed hair AND healthy (enough) hair lol also..wigs?
That’s why I’m glad that Starship dyed Liz’s hair back to black because of how damaging continuously bleaching her hair can be
And for me i think black hair suits her, she looks so beautiful in black
Nooo that was more damaging than keeping it blond actually plus liz looks so good blond
I love black hair on her, it makes her eyes stand out
Dont think its an SM thing only, all kpop agencies are guilty of it. For instance, Lisa and Rose is almost perpetually in any color but black, Lisa even recently had to dye it again after being given only a short break to be natural
I feel like we as fans don't really have a say in this, The idols and the companies decide this stuff, however much we complain it really won't do anything. It's as you said to fit the "concept" in my opinion we really have no say on this topic. The companies have a say in this, I feel like it will be difficult to change this.
Im sorry but the person making this video is pretty ignorant. Do you know how hard it is to lighten very dark hair and make it light blonde? No matter how good the haircare is, stripping hair of its natural color is DAMAGE. Your hair will never look healthy after that. When I lightened my hair, I always had split ends. If the audience wants different looks every comeback, idols will have to either wear wigs like Yoon from Winner admitted to, or fry their hair.
This channel gets very questionable at times.
Oh, this channel is KOOKIELIT. They have one sided arguments and many false rumors. For example, even with the whole Lucas drama, they gave the worst evidence and explanations and it was very clear they had their own biased opinion.
I'm surprised there's no mention of Hyoeyeon's constant hair color change 😅
Actually during the BTS of GOT 's stamp on it, Taeyeon said hyo's hair doesn't damage easily,so I guess she has the strongest scalp amongst all of 'em
What people seem to forget is that hair is first and foremost a protectant for your head. It’s part of our body and the roots are connected to our nerves. For idols to endure this level of pain and negligence in the name of style is borderline inhumane: we have literal scalp burns, bleeding, and hospitalization!!
It's not just SM - every major company that has it's idols undergo numerous colorings to their hairs pay the price. I remember Seungri (Big Bang) comment a few years ago that he could no long die his hair because it was so damaged.
I've been dying my hair for years but the last few times I seemed to get an allergic reaction which got worse at every session and I do not even bleach it. Just dying it brown to cover the grey. Due that allergic reaction getting worse I decided to let it all grow out and leave it alone for time being. Yes you can see my grey hairs now but my scalp is getting better too and less itchy. I think some of the idols suffer from this too but saying no to hairdye must be hard.
Sometimes I think of Sandra Oh with her, naturally, really curly hair and how she said always felt pressured to straighten her hair, but now since filming Killing Eve, she's excepts her curls and has properly styled when she goes to awards and stuff instead of always straightening her hair.
And then I think of how many idols who have naturally curly hair like her are probably made to straighten out their hair all the time. We've had idols do curly hair as aesthetics for a concept but never really see any just casually rocking their natural curly hair.
And it’s not only SM who constantly dyes their idols hair
this makes me hella confused as to how rose's hair is still existent
i know right?? and she never cut it short to let it rest
what kind of sorcery is that lol
@@pigeondance she cut it but it grows really fast according to hairstylist that's why she has to bleach her roots constantly
When you remain blonde, which is what rose does, you’re only doing the roots. The problem with other artists is they go dark then blonde then dark again. Rose has only gone dark a few times since debut and she said she’d probably not go dark again because she doesn’t like it. Where as Jenny, prefers the dark hair and will rarely go light.
@@pigeondance she has cut it for shut down comeback. and now she's using hair extentions
I went through a crazed hair-dying phase where I would change my hair color every 2-3 months but never a dramatic color such as blonde, blue, green etc. and it already wreaked havoc on the health of my hair and scalp. That was when I was in my early 20s, I grew out of that hobbit then boom, a heart break and of course poor decisions ought to follow. I decided to bleach my hair to a platinum blonde, you could call it my revenge hair because my ex who body-shamed me for coloring my hair so often (i.e. he said I didn't even like myself so much that I would change my appearance so often as in dying hair). Back to the hair story, I got in total 3 sessions of bleaching, toning and coloring which finally gave me the lightest possible blonde from my light-medium brown hair. I paid a hefty amount of money for that color, knowing the damage bleaching could do to one's hair. Still, there was un-repairable damage done. My hair become so brittle at the touch of water, it was just mushy and weak. Winds would turn my hair into what would be a promising and cozy nest for birds. And no heat whatsoever if I wanted to break my hair in pieces, said my hair stylist. Not to mention all the hair loss. I honestly thought I would go bald.
It took me 3 years to grow all the bleach part out and my hair still did not get back to its healthy state before all that chemical. It has been a little over 5 years since I last dyed my hair. Did I love my blonde look? Absolutely. Would I ever do it again? You would have to k!ll me first and then bleach my corpse's hair. In a nutshell, don't bleach your hair if you can live without it.
This is exactly what happened with irene 😭😭
When you bleach your hair not only are you damaging your hair and you scalp, but also your brain. I hope this comes to a stop where your not forced to bleach your hair 😔😔
May i know why they must bleaching their idol's hair? What's the difference between bleaching and just coloring hair?
@@vaniakanti593 you cant go black to light blonde without bleaching
@@vaniakanti593 Also I understand that the hair of asian people is thicker and has more melanin therefore harder to bleach
damaging the brain with bleaching hair? wtf are you talking about
Im not wishing this on ANYONE but its a fact that all this chemical exposure can lead to cancer.
As someone who has had every hair color in the rainbow it’s not that hard to change your color in a healthy way :/ I have dark hair and have to use 30-40 volume on my hair to bleach it so I understand the difficulty of getting it light enough I’ve never had breakage and I’ve been dying my hair since I was 12 years old. These poor idols go through too much!
I just don’t get how companies don’t invest in sturdy wigs instead?? Like surely they can opt for designer wigs rather than hair damage 3000-? Other music artist do this, heck even Kim K’s hair is ordered and being sewn professionally…
one of the good things about idols going to military is that their hair can rest from bleaching
I used to work in a hair salon and I'm crying right now for these guys and gals ❤️
As both a licensed Hair Stylist and Aesthetician, there are things that can be done to help idols. One big thing is to not go for instant color results as that causes major damage. Normally on natural black or dark brown that needs the double process, you do one lightening job, give the hair a break for a week or two (with hair treatment), then they come back for the second lightening job. But for idols who need the change quick, stylist using the strongest bleach (30-40 volume), usually twice in one sitting then add the permanent color/toner. This is really damaging! Stylists and the companies should at least be getting idols to have hair treatments done to help protect the hair, even scalp treatments to help with chemical burns. And not dye their hair dark again if they are just going to bleach it again in a few months.
As for the wig idea that I've seen in the comments, it's possible but has it's own problems. The idol's dance choreography and if the wigs will stay on without needing touch ups for wig glue and pining (I've done this and it's not fun, though wigs have come some way in ten years). Plus wearing a wig on stage under hot, powerful lights for several hour concerts can also be harmful, leading to overheating, fainting and heat stroke, and unlike hats, they can't just easily take it off (also been on stage with a wig on, you overheat quickly and sweat bullets). Then for the company were time is money, having the idols always putting on, styling, then taking off wigs adds up compared to one trip to the salon. Considering that the companies can't take care of their idols hair, would they even get the proper wigs for the job? I would hope so but the realist in me doubts it.
Either way, lets hope for better treatment of idols, from head to toes.
This isn't just an SM thing. Bang Chan from Skz can't even color his hair bc its sooo damaged. Which sucks bc he's stated that he WANTS to change it, he's just not tryna go bald, and thats JYP.
I’m actually really worried about Bahiyyih’s scalp. Wake1 has not allowed her any color that doesn’t require bleaching and at the beginning it looked fine, but now if you see some photos it’s completely damaged…
Am I the only one who thinks blonde hair doesn’t suit karina? Don’t get me wrong she’s gorgeous, but the yellowish blonde doesn’t go well with her skin complexion. If it was a sliver or white, sure, but blonde? No!
Just for the record - almost all of SM's female artists keep their natural hair short to shoulder-length! Jessica was the only SNSD member to grow out and keep her hair long (and generally keeps it between strawberry blonde and brunette, although right now is the very first time she's ever gone black)
Excuse me? Did you forget Hyoyeon? Hyoyeon been blonde for years and thank you for not mentioning her maybe because she's not as famous as your fav duhhh
@@fafalala3693 since 2015, Hyo has kept her natural hair shoulder length and uses extensions when it's long - has nothing to do with anything other than her and/or SM's preference.
Chemical burn of the hair by peroxide is very painful, you literally feel what they set you on fire and you feel the. Boiling drops of the product even worse add the color because if you want it to last well and last more than 2 washes you need the color developer and that also burns you, its really peinful even whe you gentle brused hurts a lot, and you sacab even bleeds
I am glad to see you make a video like this one, great job! For me the most scary was when Jaemin from NCT dream said he haven't had his hair black since I think it was two years after he died them that coulur... Also Chenle's hair is concerning... It is sad that they have such problems at this age, shame on SME
I just want to point out a few things as someone who knows a decent amount about hair. (No I did not go to school for hair dressing and no I do not have any type of cosmetology license, I'm self taught tho I did pass the practice test for the license with flying colors.) Anyway, if the idol's hair is that bad, the stylists probably aren't doing their jobs correctly. There are things like Olaplex and other bond builders that can be mixed into bleach and dye that helps repair the hair and prevent damage. They're also probably using too high a level of developer with the bleach.
3) yes, asian hair is one of if not the hardest hair type to bleach. The coarser the hair, the more damage it retains and the longer it takes to remove color. However, that being said, if they're having to bleach the hair more than 2-3 consecutive times (depending on the color that's being removed) then they probably aren't using foils. And if they are using foils then they are probably taking too big of sections.
4) Direct dyes (semi permanent) don't damage the hair at all. They're deposit only and if anything, a lot of them condition the hair and make it soft, thicker feeling, and fluffy.
5) Hair isn't "healthy" to begin with. Hair is nothing but strands of protein. It's not alive. If it's not alive it can't be healthy.
6) If their scalps are getting that bad, then their stylists need to 1: stop washing their hair at least 24 hours before bleaching it. The more oily the hair the better because the oil protects the scalp. Washing it beforehand can cause micro abrasions to the scalp and cause burning from the bleach. And 2: need to make sure they're using bleach and developer that is labeled safe for on and off scalp application. Coz not all bleaches are.
7) Bleach and heat aren't the only things that can cause damage. For balding you could have alopecia (unrelated to extensions) or general balding which can happen as early as in the 20's (men only). Lack of vitamins and nutrients can also cause hair loss and excessive frizz, especially when lacking in omega-3. Other causes of hair loss can be: lupus, thyroid disorder, hormone imbalance, or a deficiency of zinc, biotin, protein and iron which is most common for people who have very strict diets.
I could go on for hours but you get the gist. The problem isn't necessarily them coloring their hair regularly (I've been bleaching and dying my hair many times per year, every year, including using heat and extensions for 13 years and my scalp has never once burned and my hair has never once broken off). If their hair is that bad then people most likely aren't doing their jobs correctly and/or the idols have health issues unrelated to the hair.
To the OG comment you said a mouthful! These people have no talent for hair at all. Everything you said was hair bleaching 101. Also they can’t even install extensions correctly. Does anyone think they can install a wig properly without destroying their hairline?
i heard once that beanies could damage the hair too
@@sinforoso. beanies don't damage hair. They can cause frizz from any friction and/or static but all you have to do is brush it out when you take the hat off and maybe dampen it with some sort of anti frizz spray or leave in conditioner. I've been wearing beanies and other hats regularly for 14 years and nothing has ever happened to my hair.
I used to dye my hair and streak it in my high school years. I also straightened it everyday. But it caused my hair to be filled with static and fried. I grew out the dye, stopped dying and stopped straightening. It feels so good and healthy. And now I use better products and fear straightening. I only straighten for weddings and I get paranoid and buy heat spray and condition it the next day.
Seeing idols with thinning hair, frequent bleaching and hair damage is sad. Healthy hair is also loved. I hope their agencies understand that balding is not a good sign.
I can dye my hair very often without much issue. But the only reason I’m able to do it is because I have fairly light hair and I stick to light colors that I don’t have to bleach out. I can’t imagine what it’s like dying and bleaching her black hair
It's not just SM. Whenever someone mentions Damaged Hair and KPop I think of Rosie of BLACKPINK. I think Jisoo and Jennie are the only two out of the quartet whose roots aren't dead or dying. Red Velvet also seems to be going through a non dye and natural hair phase for the time being and quite frankly, I am even more all for it than dyed.
as a hairdresser myself, I think the comments regarding "how bad these stylist are at their job" is not valid. yes there are stylist that are bad in the sense they arnt educating themselves once they are qualified and stay in the old mindset and techniques. But most of the time when heavy damage happens is because the client wants instant results, or in case of idols its the company that want instant result and they are the ones paying the stylist to do the job. and in case of kpop. their livelihood depends on these companies so they cant refuse the service. and they just do what the company wants.
Oh come on. No one, even if lifting to platinum blonde should be getting scalp burns. A good stylist knows that its heat that lifts, not time. The bleach clearly is being left on the scalp for too long. Thats an indication that the stylist needs better techniques to BOTH please the company and protect the health of the clients.
@@DrSimpleBeauty i agree, i had blonde platinum hair for a while and the bleaching process was not instant cuz the stylist knew they were going to damage my hair too much so we planned on bleaching it gradually and at the end it looked great and the state of my hair was never as bad as karina's and it wasnt broken either, i think the hair stylists at SM and the company itself should care more abt their hair instead of prioritizing their concepts cuz at the end of the day if they're patient they can gradually bleach their hair and get the results they want without causing too much damage and also i dont think its necessary to always be changing their hair colors, they need to understand that u can adapt to a new concept without changing ur hair all the time
I think like many others that company should allow wigs (if artists want too/if artists wants to dye thier hair let them) and the wigs could be for music video only ans they keep thier natural hair for stages etc
I’ve always wondered why they don’t use lace fronts?
My scalp can’t take any beaching agents anymore without bursting open and bleeding 😅 I used to beach my hair a couple of years in a row on and off, and it totally damaged my hair. I can’t even use schampoo with too much parfume or similar agents because it irritates my scalp now… 😢 I have big scars and bumps from the bleaching…please never do bleaching more than 3-4 times a year! 🙌❤️
I might be talking out my ass because this is just my experience from frequently dyeing my own hair, but taking care of your hair in between dye jobs also helps with the damage. I change my hair color, usually requiring bleach or permanent dyes about every month or so and have for the past 3 years and the only time I had issues with thinning hair was when I had long hair and was piling the bleaching hair on the top of my head. Like a year into the frequently dyeing my hair, I also cut it to chin length due to damage, but I'll also state that it was the hair that had thinned out and had been bleached or processed with permanent dyes too many times. My hair is pretty healthy right now and I just bleached my hair from possibly permanent dye and my hair is now a dark purple.
not being paid for this but someone give these idols some ion after color treatment!!! that saved my hair after dyeing it every time and gives it its normal texture back with added softness and manageability! what bothers me is the stylists that don’t offer them advice as to which products to use for the after care and the companies and managers who don’t make sure that they use said products!
I am also guessing their diet and extreme body standards are not helping any either.
Thank you !!!
Normally the bleach isn't supposed to reach the scalp you got to apply it at 1 cm maximum from the scalp lol. And why not let the roots with the original color and just ombre whatever the color or bleaching 😅
Did you ever heard of YG?😂😂😂😂
The company that basically started this...
I used to bleach my hair every month or two when I was blonde for 2 years but I eventually had to stop because the bleach would hurt my scalp upon contact. Not even basing my scalp with coconut oil was helping me anymore. If it's causing chemical burns they need to stop because once the scalp has scarred enough and the follicle is damaged, that hair is never growing back. Maybe they should try an off the scalp application?
Ever since SeoTaiji & Boys started idol groups in the 90s, before kpop industry really took off there were times there were only a couple of boy groups and a couple of girl groups and not much competition. But now there are dozens of male teams dozens of female teams and it's become very hard to make self known/remembered in the kpop world. Taeyong may have lost scalp health (and I feel very bad that he cries from pain) but in exchange he is so recognizable as center/visual because he's experimental with hair color, different concept and outfits with every comeback. He's also become a fashion icon and it means more potential to make money when 127's career becomes dormant due to back to back military enlisting. I do wish the hair artists come up with better techniques to improve hair/scalp health.
Geez! There are greater worries in the world!
As a someone who use platen hair color for years i can say that even tho bleaching my hair constantly my hair is quite healthy ( thats whats the hair dressers says) as a blonde so i think that the reason of the damage of their hairs is poor care and constant heat and this companys job ta take care for cuz the hair stylist can use heat protection there is lots of products that pretty good to protect the hair also u cant use normal shampoo when its comes to bleached hair and those shampoos are expensive as hell and not just shampoo cream serum essence mask if they gonna dye their hair they should give a hair care budged to them
NUTRITION also plays a role and with them starving themselves.. is not it.
Taeyeon looks like a mom with that haircut. And SHINee’s Key dyes his hair white/blonde in almost every comeback when he’s promoting.
honestly, i wouldn't be surprised if idols start turning up bold to award shows
I remember Seulgi's hair extension falling off during a concert (red mare era if I'm not mistaken). It was funny but now I think of it it's just sad. 🙁
i mean at the end of the day it’s bleach and you can only do so much to prevent damage
As much as I also want blonde hair, I never tried dying or bleaching. It damages the hair and scalp. I am amazed how these idols can handle extremely stressful hair coloring. I can advice the use of serum 3x a week or hair treatment at least once a week.
Personally , my hairs and roots are very very very sensitive. I havent bleached my hair or added extensions still my hair falls out like crazy . Due to this i every week have yo apply oil and and special mixture before washing my hair . Cant imagine what these idols have gobe through!
It's like color corrector doesnt exist there you don't always have to bleach it from the jump
Alright this is extreme, if some1 scalp hurts and they keep dying the hair,that so careless and selfish of the company just bse of concepts.....
I see so many (young) people with thinning or balding here in Seoul. So I dont know how these idols are even making their hair look healthy most of the tjmes
a friend of mine went to seoul 3/4 times or something, and she said that everytime she washed her hair in korea, her hair would fall. she thinks it must be something in the air, bcs of the polution or it's something in the water 🤔
@@sinforoso. ye i use a shower filter but no one really knows the real reason. Might be a few factors like you mentioned; water, air pollution, stress, diet...
Wigs. They exist, and are already super popular in the entertainment industry.
Damaging idols natural hair is so unnecessary. Somebody needs to tell SM stylists.
Edit after reading some of the other comments: good quality wigs that are installed properly look like natural hair. If u watched TV & movies, if you ever went to a pop concert, or even watched a musical or looked at a magazine cover or watch popular social media - I guarantee there were multiple peope using wigs but you didn't even notice.
You know hiring hair stylist that's great at wig installing would so great, and not damage their hair.
I mean I dye my hair a lot too, but my scalp is very sensitive, so I try my best to avoid my scalp, this is thanks probably to when I was kid that I was made to relax my hair to be straight (it was brutal)
0:56 As a stylist, please know you cannot dye your hair blond, you can only bleach it blond. Dying and bleaching are two different things. Bleaching is stripping the hair of it's color and dying is depositing the color back into the hair follicle. Most company's can avoid bleach breakage by using a bond system such as Olaplex which will protect the clients hair. However, these bond systems are expensive. I think these company's are cutting cost due to money issues and at the expense of the artists hair, which is heartbreaking to see. Karina had healthy, thick hair. Her stylist could have used a bond system to protect her hair while bleaching and prevented a lot of her hair loss. This was avoidable which makes it even more upsetting. Now she's left with bleached hair that hasn't even been toned correctly and the shade doesn't match her skin tone. It's going to be a long time before her hair will recover.
Sometimes its fans fault as well..
I saw many fans asking and requesting for their bais to new hair color for next comeback blah blah..
I don't know why they don't just wear wigs. I've seen Jimin and Jennie with wigs before. They need to do it more often. If Gaga and Beyonce can wear wigs and dance insanely--- KPOP can get on the wig game too.
They should learn about Jpop, when some majority of 48g never dying their (expect brown)
Why is no one talking about Blackpink's Rosé and her hair? Her natural hair must be brown, Now Rosé's hair was Red, black, purplish silver, and now blonde. Now she's rocking blonde all the time. These YG stylists must be careless of my bias wreckers hair because I believe that her hair was so damaged that they just stopped dying her hair. But the stylists could of give her wigs for Boombayah,Whistle, Playing with fire, As if it's your last, D4, HYLT, Lovesick girls, etc.
the first person I thought of
I never seen her original hair colour 😂
Rosé's hair has been blonde for a 100 years it feels like 😓
Only seen her natural hair pre-debut i think. 😢💕 Loved her dark brown hair in As If It's Your Last era.
Put on this list too, Hyoyeon from SNSD. She also has a warrior hair
@@liivinglifeinpeace yeah, her hair is strong🎉
K-pop companies all know how to do CA but when it's time to put a wig on their artists' head it's silent
im so curious how idol looks so chill and relaxed whenever they had hair extensions
bc its so itchy more shorter your hair more tight extensions
i do it once n i hate it bc my scalp so itchy
They really dont know how to take care of hair. I recently bleached my curly hair and wow, i had to use and make everything soooo carefully. bleaching needs a lot of time and care afterwards. I spent 3 days to fully bleach my hair so i could make sure that i didnt damaged it
Korea is actually pretty good with hair salons and extensions and dying and fixing damaged hair and they have pretty good and famous wig salons too so why is none of this applied to kpop? Some of this is basic hair knowledge like with bleaching and dying back and forth, the damage from bleach, and the hair extensions stuff… stuff that money should be put into in these big companies and stylists should know… come on… especially with companies as big as SM.
I wish they experimented with different cuts first or some highlights only in Karina’s hair. It was such a drastic change. But I guess it worked coz people are talking.
