Science technology has developed in modern society, and people’s literary level and aesthetic value standards have not only increased but also become more diverse. This trend has ushered in the advancement of popular culture and both pursues and forms integrated beauty in an interaction with art, culture, film and academic studies. The aesthetic pursuit of modern people has included the search for uniqueness and diversity. In addition, the development of a new genre called ‘hair art’ in the beauty arts offers a new possibility for artistic values. The creation of hair as art work is evolving into a new formative art and recently, hair art has emerged as a field of study with possibilities in the beauty arts. As a result, there have been studies on ‘hair art’ in some colleges. Even though diverse research methods and creative hair art studies have been conducted, however, the expression methods have been limited. In addition, there has been a need to make use of new motifs or other materials in setting the research topic. Therefore, this study attempted to investigate previous hair art-related studies and to suggest a future direction for hair art according to current trends. A total of 104 academic journals and papers on hair art from the National Assembly Library of Korea, RISS and KISS were analyzed and redundant studies were excluded from this survey.
