What is a men's straight perm?

It's a straightening perm tailored to short men's hair . It relaxes curl and frizz in the fringe, top or sides, making K-style cuts such as the comma hair or two-block easier to style every day.

How a men's straight perm is done

  1. English consultation

    We check your hair history, face shape and the look you want, using reference photos.
  2. Hair & elasticity test

    A strand check tells us if bleached or damaged hair needs a protein pre-treatment first.
  3. Protective pre-treatment

    Ampoule and protein care shield the hair before any perm solution is applied.
  4. Rod sizing & winding

    Rod size and direction are chosen for the wave pattern and length you want.
  5. Setting & neutralising

    Low-irritation solutions reshape and then lock the new shape; digital perms add controlled heat.
  6. 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.

Men's straight perm FAQ

What is the difference between a down perm and a straight perm?

A down perm targets sides that stick out; a straight perm smooths curl or frizz anywhere on the head.

Will my hair look unnaturally flat?

No — we keep natural movement and can combine it with a comma or volume style.

How long does it last?

The treated hair stays straight; you will notice texture only in new growth.
