There are two main types of perms! Each type lasts for a different period of time.
There are actually several different types of perms, each with different characteristics such as longevity and curl strength, so it is difficult to sum them all up. First of all, we will introduce the two main types of perms, the length of time they last, and what kind of hair they are suited for.
(1) Cold perms, which can create volume from the root, last about 1~2 months!
Cold perm is a type of perm that uses only the power of chemicals and no equipment. Basically, the term “perm” on salon menus often refers to cold perm. Since perms can be applied from the root, they are suitable for twisting perms and spiral perms, which are popular among men. However, it is short-lived and needs to be re-done in about 1~2 months. Incidentally, curls weaken when hair is dry, so it is best to rub in a hair conditioner to replenish moisture and oil.

(2) If you want to keep your hair for 3~4 months, choose “Digital Perm”!
A digital perm is a perm that uses chemicals and heat to create curls in the hair. It is known as a typical hot perm and has excellent fixing and fixing power, and men’s hair can keep its beautiful condition for 3~4 months. And in cases where the root growth is not a concern, such as long hair, it can last for more than half a year. However, due to the shape of the machine, perms cannot be applied close to the roots, so it is not possible to create hair that rises up from the roots, and the hair must be medium length. The heat also causes more damage to the hair. There is also a type of low-temperature digital perm that does less damage, but be aware that it cannot create strong curls.

To make your perm last longer, it’s important to take care of your hair on a regular basis!
If you want to keep your perm as beautiful as possible for as long as possible, it is an ironclad rule to focus on hair care. Moisturizing care is especially important, and using a hair treatment once or twice a week or rubbing in an out-breast treatment every day to protect against dryness is necessary to make it last longer.

Also, shampoos containing petroleum-based or higher alcohol surfactants are said to backfire and make perms last longer due to their high cleaning power, so it is recommended to use amino acid-based shampoos. Amino acid-based shampoos are a bit pricey, but if you consider that the time span for getting a new perm will be extended, the cost performance should not be bad.
