Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 372 - 149: My Wish to Become a Little Rich Girl Depends on Your Help!
After the date with the junior schoolmate, a few days later, they all took the train back to school together.
Before the military training, there was one thing to do—get a haircut.
In this era, many male celebrities liked to keep a slightly longer hairstyle.
For example, the Four Heavenly Kings, who had the greatest influence, all did this.
Even Zhang Xueyou, who later became more accustomed to showing himself with short hair, once had flowing long hair.
The most notable picture is the classic meme "Eat shit, you" from the God of Songs, showing long straight black hair covering the ears.
Almost everyone knows this meme, but many don’t know it originated from the 1988 Hong Kong movie "As Tears Go By," where Zhang Xueyou plays the character "Wu Ying" in a mahjong parlor scene with Wan Ziliang as Tony.
Besides the Four Heavenly Kings, there were Zhou Xingxing, Guo Fucheng, Lin Zhiying, Little Tiger Team, Jin Chengwu, Zheng Yijian, and Xie Tingfeng...
Whether Xiangjiang or Cosmic Country male stars, whether long-famous old stars or rising new talents, almost all had the same hairstyle style, which directly influenced the young people, making many students like to grow their hair long and then feel they had the charm of their idols.
However, military training had strict requirements on boys’ hair length, and nearly all the boys in the class did not meet the standards.
So everyone had to get their hair cut, almost all into buzz cuts.
Although this hairstyle was easy to manage, with no need for combs or hair wax, very few were willing to keep it.
The first reason was influenced by celebrities, the second was fear of cutting it.
There is a saying in the fashion circle: A guy’s attractiveness depends 30% on his looks and 70% on his hairstyle!
The impact of a hairstyle on a guy’s appearance is immediate.
For some guys, changing their hairstyle is like becoming a different person.
And the true test of a guy’s looks is the buzz cut hairstyle.
For most guys, changing from long hair to a buzz cut reduces their attractiveness, and a significant drop or a total failure is not impossible.
Only guys who dare to keep a buzz cut and still look handsome can truly be called male gods.
Without bangs to shield them, a guy’s features and face shape become crystal clear, and whether they are handsome or not, whether their looks are high, can instantly be distinguished.
Others could accept it, but Zeng Kaiping was very disheartened.
The spirited guy idolized Guo Fucheng, kept the same hairstyle, and regularly shook it gracefully, feeling very elegant and dashing.
After cutting it, Zeng Kaiping’s face in the mirror turned into a bitter gourd.
He was very dissatisfied.
Darn it, a good-looking guy became a loser!
It must be the hairstyle sealing away my attractiveness!
He vowed to grow it back after military training.
Zeng Kaiping was thinking this secretly and turned to see Su Zelin, who also had his buzz cut ready.
The proportion of guys who can hold a buzz cut is not high, but there are a few who can maintain their looks or even have more appeal after such a haircut, like Chen Weiting in the entertainment industry of later years.
Zelin had delicate features, a strong young idol vibe, and his long hair style during his teenage years gave off a washing and blowing salon look. Later, when he changed to a buzz cut, he gained more sunshine and ruggedness, balancing out any androgynous vibes, truly skyrocketing his attractiveness.
The spirited guy was momentarily plunged into silence.
Well, it has nothing to do with the hairstyle; it seems I’m just a loser.
For handsome guys, no matter what hairstyle they cut, Chen Guanxi will always remain Chen Guanxi and never turn into Uncle Benshan...
...
On the night after the haircuts, they went out for a meal with the girls from Room 501.
The two dorms had a social gathering not long after the start of freshmen year and always had a good relationship, so occasionally having activities or casual dinners was quite normal.
After nearly two months apart, the changes in the girls weren’t too noticeable, almost the same as before, except for Nanaz who had a new hairstyle.
The hairstyle had a pleasant name—Wind Chime Curls.
It wasn’t just all curls; above the ears, it’s still straight, only starting to show fluffy curls from the ear roots downward, and the rise and fall at the ends totaled no more than three turns, usually two curls, making the overall style look like blooming wind chime flowers, both fashionable and elegant.
This was a K-pop style girls’ hairstyle.
K-dramas were introduced to China from 1993, but only started gradually becoming popular after the 21st century, especially after the year 2000 with the hit "Autumn in My Heart" starring Jo Min-ah, Song Seung-hyun, and Yuan Bin, an early representative of K-dramas, attracting countless Chinese audiences, with Ding Linna being one of the earliest to be captivated.
What attracted Nanaz wasn’t just the K-drama plots; Nanaz also had a very keen sense of fashion.
It had to be admitted, as one of the Four Asian Tigers, Cosmic Country was indeed quite trendy in this era, with many novel elements to learn from characters’ outfits, hairstyles, and styles in Korean dramas, which greatly influenced Ding Linna.
Nanaz’s daily dressing style already leaned towards K-pop, less calm than J-pop and a bit more fiery, combined with her hourglass-shaped curves, so when Su Zelin saw her, it was easy to think of the female lead from future K-pop comics.
When Nanaz switched to this Wind Chime Curl, the guy’s sense became even stronger, prompting Ding Linna to give a thumbs-up.
Nanaz’s fashion sense was really on point.
K-dramas were just starting to become popular and hadn’t swept across the country yet, so not many girls in the country had K-pop hairstyles, but Nanaz was the first to catch the trend.
There were so many K-pop hairstyles, but one couldn’t just blindly follow trends and had to choose according to one’s own conditions.
She made a pretty good choice with this Wind Chime Curl.
