Did you know?
- While it is a name, if you tell a Korean person they have a 'bad 가리마', you are actually commenting on an unflattering hair part rather than their character.
- The root 가리 is linked to the ancient Korean verb for 'separating' or 'picking out', which is why the word describes both a hair parting and the act of discerning.
- In traditional Korean hair styling, the placement of the 가리마 was often seen as a way to frame the face or express social standing.
