What is a C-curl perm?
The C-curl is one of Korea's most requested perms. Instead of waves, it gives the ends a gentle inward curve , framing the face and making hair look glossy and finished without a straightener. It works especially well on bobs, lobs and layered cuts.

How a C-curl perm is done
-
English consultation
We check your hair history, face shape and the look you want, using reference photos. -
Hair & elasticity test
A strand check tells us if bleached or damaged hair needs a protein pre-treatment first. -
Protective pre-treatment
Ampoule and protein care shield the hair before any perm solution is applied. -
Rod sizing & winding
Rod size and direction are chosen for the wave pattern and length you want. -
Setting & neutralising
Low-irritation solutions reshape and then lock the new shape; digital perms add controlled heat. -
Rinse, care & style
A conditioning rinse, then a styling lesson so you can recreate the look at home.
Aftercare: make your perm last
- Wait 48 hours before shampooing, swimming or tying your hair tightly.
- Use a sulfate-free shampoo and a light curl cream or essence on damp ends.
- Dry roots first on a cool-warm setting, then shape the ends with your fingers.
- Book a trim or touch-up every 3–4 months to keep the shape fresh.
- Avoid colouring or bleaching for about 1–2 weeks after a perm unless your stylist plans both together.

C-curl perm FAQ
What is the difference between a C-curl and an S-curl perm?
A C-curl curves only the ends inward; an S-curl creates flowing S-shaped waves through the lengths.
Is a C-curl perm good for short hair?
Yes — it is ideal for bobs and lobs from chin to shoulder length.
How do I keep the C-curl shape?
Blow-dry the ends with a round brush or simply turn them under with your fingers while drying.
