Thinking of giving your hair that instant va-va-voom factor without the hassle of daily styling? Then perms may be what you’re after! Besides giving your hair dramatic lift and volume, perms also lend a demure and graceful appearance to the face. Best of all, no more heat curling tools for months and that means time shaved off your daily hairstyling routine! But with so many perm options out there, it can be overwhelming especially if you’re new to the experience. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of our favourite volumizing styles to help narrow it all down for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Different perming techniques<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before we get on with our favourite styles, let’s talk about the different techniques typically used for perms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cold perms<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cold perms involve rolling up sections of hair with small rods and soaking them in a cold chemical solution.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First, we have the cold perm – which is the most traditional way to create long-lasting curls. This process involves curling dry sections of hair around plastic rods and completely soaking the sections in a cold chemical solution. Hence the name cold perm.<\/em> After about 15 minutes, a neutralizing chemical is applied to set the curls and lock them in place. Overall, curls that you get from a cold perm appear more prominent when wet and the treatment is relatively affordable. However, cold perm curls tend to be tightly wound and the entire process takes about 2 or more hours depending on your hair length. If you’re looking for more natural-looking curls, then you can opt for digital perms instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, we have the digital perm. Unlike the traditional cold perm, digital perms require the use of heat to lock your curls in place. Also, each section of hair is wrapped around medium to large plastic perm rods as compared to cold perms which use small to medium-sized rods. Once this is done, a chemical solution is applied onto the hair to alter the structure of your hair and to make it more pliable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now comes the heat portion of the treatment. After sectioning your hair into curls, your hair technician then attaches your rollers to a machine with preset temperature controls and a timer. Overall, the curls that you get from a digital perm are more prominent when they are dry and the process itself is less time-consuming than a cold perm. Plus, digital perms work especially well on thick or stubborn straight Asian hair. Although digital perms are slightly more expensive than their cold counterpart, the curls you get are much more natural-looking and are much easier to maintain and style post-perm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long will perms last?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A perm lasts anywhere between 3 to 4 months, depending on your hair texture and how you care for your hair on a daily basis. Generally, hair that is naturally fine and straight will need extra care and effort to uphold the longevity of the perm. On the other hand, those with naturally wavy hair who get a perm for extra volume and definition will need to moisturise the hair regularly to keep frizz at bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
