The Man Perm: Embracing Texture in Men’s Hairstyles

Written By Michelle Brown

What is a Man Perm and How is it Done?

A man perm, short for permanent wave, is a chemical process that alters the structure of your hair to create lasting curls or waves. The process involves:

  1. Consultation: We discuss your desired look and assess your hair type.

  2. Preparation: Your hair is washed and sectioned.

  3. Application: Perm rods of various sizes are used to achieve your desired curl pattern.

  4. Processing: A perm solution is applied to break down your hair's natural bonds.

  5. Neutralizing: This step reforms the bonds in your new, curly shape.

  6. Styling: Your new curls are styled to perfection.

Tousled and Textured

The entire process typically takes 2-3 hours, depending on your hair length and the desired result.

Styling Options for Permed Hair

One of the best things about a man perm is its versatility. Here are some popular styling options:

  1. Tousled and Textured: Perfect for a casual, effortless look.

  2. Slicked Back: For a more polished, professional appearance.

  3. Curly Fringe: Embrace those curls with a textured fringe.

  4. Voluminous Quiff: Add height and drama to your style.

Maintenance and Care Tips

To keep your man perm looking fresh:

  1. Wait 48 hours before washing your hair after getting a perm.

  2. Use sulfate-free, curl-enhancing shampoos and conditioners.

  3. Avoid heat styling tools as much as possible.

  4. Apply a leave-in conditioner to keep curls defined and frizz-free.

  5. Get regular trims to maintain shape and prevent split ends.
