IU Cried Every Night While Washing Her Hair, Here’s Why
IU‘s pulled off a ton of incredible hairstyles in just the past few years! From pastel purple to getting her hair permed, IU’s hair has definitely been through a lot. In a behind-the-scenes vlog from the set of her music video for “Strawberry Moon,” IU revealed just how bad it had gotten!
While debating whether or not to chop off her long locks into a short bob, IU talked about all the hardships her hair had been through and why she took the time to grow it out.
I started growing [my hair] out after ‘Love Poem.’ After dyeing it blue, light purple, and, shooting Broker a while ago, it also went through a perm, I really can’t revive this hair anymore. In the meantime, I couldn’t use treatment for about a year (due to allergy).

She revealed that the condition of her hair had gotten so bad, she would cry while washing it at night! Her arms would even get tired from having to wash her frequently dyed hair.
Damaged hair is extremely porous, which means it holds water for a really long time. Bleach and other chemicals can make it impossible to dry your hair quickly – something else that concerned IU. Her thoughts while drying her hair were, “When will this hair dry? Will it dry before the Han river dries?”
While explaining that her hair is still super stiff even after months of letting it grow, IU jokingly broke down into tears, saying, “I can’t talk about it anymore!”
At least her hair seems to be doing better now! Here’s a picture of her hair length and condition before it was recently cut.
And here’s how gorgeous it looked while filming the “Strawberry Moon” music video!
