Gibran Rakabuming Raka's hairstyle has managed to steal the attention of Indonesian netizens.
The reason is, the vice president-elect changed his hairstyle from a mullet to a curtain haircut. This can be seen from several uploads on his personal Instagram social media.
Curtain Haircut is a two-parted hairstyle characterized by long, voluminous bangs on both sides of the face to frame it like a curtain.
Reporting from the Gatsby Global page, this hairstyle is generally combined with the sides and back of the hair that are shaved short.
This curtain haircut can be for curly, wavy, or straight hair. The volume of the hair also varies according to the type of hair of the user. In addition, the length of the bangs can also vary, from short (about as long as the eyebrows), to long bangs (about as long as the chin).
This hairstyle is also known as "E-boy Hair", "Comma Hair", and "Korean Hair". It is estimated that the Curtain haircut originated in the 1900s, when it replaced the long hairstyle and sideburns that were popular and became fashionable in the late 1800s.
At that time, the curtain haircut was an alternative to a shorter and more practical hairstyle for men.
Moreover, most men who adopted this trend came from the working class and sports athletes, such as rugby, which made long hair care impractical for everyday use.
Some male celebrities who used this hairstyle were Tom Cruise, Keanu Reeves, and members of the Backstreet Boys. Unfortunately, the trend did not last long and faded again over time.
In recent years, this hairstyle has become popular again because it is used by a number of world stars, such as Zayn Malik, Ian Dior, Chris Hemsworth, and Cole Sprouse.
The curtain haircut trend has spread after being used by the famous Kpop idol, Jungkook BTS. Therefore, it is not surprising that the curtain haircut is also known as Korean hair.
