意味
The act of removing moisture from one's hair, often with a towel or dryer.
文化的背景
Koreans often use 'cool air' (찬바람) to dry their hair to prevent damage, a tip frequently shared by K-Beauty influencers. There is a common belief that sleeping with wet hair causes headaches or 'cold energy' to enter the head. In public bathhouses (Jjimjilbang), hair dryers are often coin-operated, emphasizing their value. Showing up with wet hair to a job interview or formal event is considered unprofessional.
Shorten it!
In casual texting, just say '머리 말리는 중' (Drying hair) to explain why you're slow to reply.
Don't say '닦다'
English speakers often say 'wipe my hair' (머리를 닦다), but Koreans will find this very strange. Always use '말리다'.

The 'Cold' Myth
If a Korean person tells you to dry your hair so you don't get sick, they are showing care, not just being bossy!
Styling vs. Drying
If you're at a salon and want a specific look, use '드라이해 주세요' instead of '머리 말려 주세요'.
