What is a straight perm?

A straight perm relaxes the hair's natural wave so it dries smooth and straight. Korean straightening keeps a natural, soft finish — not a flat, poker-straight look — and can include volume at the roots or a slight inward curve at the ends.

How a 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.

Straight perm FAQ

How long does a straight perm last?

The treated hair stays straight permanently; you will only see your natural texture in the new growth, usually after 3–6 months.

Will a straight perm make my hair flat?

We can add root volume or a soft C-curl at the ends so the result looks natural.

Can I wash my hair after a straight perm?

Wait 48 hours and avoid tying or tucking hair behind your ears during that time.
