Spiral Perm for Long Fine Hair
@dogancammm
A spiral perm for long fine hair can turn you into curl envy. The tighter uniform curls are almost angelic, creating a voluminous movement. Keep in mind that hair will spring up quite a few inches when permed, so you will naturally lose some length. Nevertheless, the stunning coily hair is worth it!

Flawless Perm for Straight Hair
@tabbygail16
This is the flawless perm for straight hair you got in there! Created by hairstylist and salon owner Tabitha McDonald of Kentucky, she says, “this look is more of a loose lived-in curl. I love that it is low maintenance! For women considering a perm, do your research!”
McDonald continues, “when looking up inspirational photos with your stylist, you need to think realistically of what can be attained with your hair/texture. Not all perms are the same. Perms are typically easy to style, and there are many great product lines out there for curly hair!”
Short Loose Curl Perm
@hairbybrandon_b
Look how this short loose curl perm brings out movement and shape to a neck-length bob. Even without the layers and colors, your natural black tresses will be so full of life.
Created by hairdresser Brandon Castro-Baroman of California, he says, “this look is a big curl body wave. A low-maintenance, voluminous look that can be worn with hanging, subtle waves to bouncy curls.”
“Don’t go cheap on chemical services,” explains Castro-Baroman. “There are variables that only a seasoned stylist will understand so that you will get the best kind of wave or curl. You don’t want it to be overprocessed or turn your hair into a kinked-hair nightmare. Go to a stylist who does very modern, soft, and natural-looking current work.”
The rule of thumb is to use a product with hold in it but only a low hold. Allow your permed hair to dry into the ’80s-looking, slightly crispy curl, ringlets first. Let them dry firm and completely, then take a very thin layer of soft, shiny product such as a serum or cream on the hands and de-crunch the crispy curls. They will be soft but well-formed and springy from being allowed to set firmly first.
Castro-Baroman continues, “some don’ts for both permed and naturally curly hair: “scrunching” is a valuable tool, but “scrunch drying” is a mistake. Scrunching is done on completely wet or completely dry hair. While your hair is either air drying or you are diffuser drying it, do not touch it or “scrunch” it, you’ll just make a frizzy fuzzy mess of it and pull out the curl. By all means, if you’re diffusing, feel free to go upside down and lean your head side to side to get the heat into the roots for added volume.”
Shoulder-Length Ash Blonde Perm
@adventuresinhairdressing
This perm technique gives great body and beautiful waves. It was created by color specialist and stylist Tatiana Dennis of Oregon.
Dennis recommends this perm for salon guests looking for a wave rather than a curl. “It works best on medium to fine hair types in good condition,” she adds.
Maintenance seems to be in line with a traditional perm which can vary from woman to woman. To style this, Dennis recommends a moisturizing mousse or a cream-gel. Keeping curly hair, natural or not, frizz-free is all about moisture. She notes, “also, be sure to apply the product to your hair while it’s wet and frizz-free, and don’t touch it until it’s dry.”
Soft Asian Perm Hair
@justin_9406
Wear this soft Asian perm hair for effortless beauty that offers you volume and texture. This Asian hair was permed by hairstylist Justin Tan of Kedah, MY.
Tan notes, “many ladies like using an iron curler to create beautiful curls, so I decided to create this hair perm that results similar to iron-curled hair. The most important thing is that the hair texture remains smooth and has a lot of airy and light feel for the final outcome.”
With different styling products, the results also vary. For this look, just apply a moisturizing cream to achieve a smooth and airy feel. Apply a volumizing mousse for a hot and sexy curly hairstyle.
