Perming 101 - How It Works
The term perm is short for permanent wave and changes the structure of your hair to create long-lasting curls. During your perm appointment, our expert barbers will wrap your hair around rods and apply a special chemical solution that changes the hair’s natural bonds. They will then use a neutraliser formular to reform the hair bonds into the desired curl shape.
Stylists use different-sized rods depending on the specific perm you’re after. Perms add incredible texture and volume and generally last between 3 and 6 months.
Popular Perm Styles for Men
Men’s perms are incredibly versatile, offering a wide variety of looks to choose from. At WEST Barbers, these are some of the popular styles our clients love:
Fade with Curls: This look combines the classic fade with curly hair on top, creating a sharp, clean, and textured appearance that’s both modern and stylish.
Loose Waves: Ideal for those looking to add extra movement and dimension, loose waves offer a soft, natural look. This style works beautifully on medium to longer hair lengths.
Tight Curls: For those wanting a bolder look, tight curls add incredible texture, delivering a more defined and eye-catching finish.
Textured Perm: This perm focuses on creating volume and lift while maintaining a softer wave pattern than tight curls. It’s perfect for anyone seeking a structured look without the intensity of tighter curls.
How to Maintain Your Perm
After your perm, our barbers will provide expert advice on how to care for it. Maintaining your perm with the right at-home routine is essential to keep it looking fresh for longer. Here are our top tips:
Air Dry When Possible: Allow your hair to air dry whenever you can to reduce unwanted frizz and preserve the integrity of your curls.
Hydrate Your Hair: Use moisturising products and conditioners to keep your hair hydrated. We can recommend the best perm-friendly products for your hair type.
Limit Heat Styling: Try to minimise heat styling, but if you do use hot tools, be sure to apply heat-protective sprays.
Regular Trims: Keep your hair healthy and your curls looking neat with regular trims.
Touch-Ups: Consider scheduling touch-ups every few months to maintain the shape and style of your curls.
