For men who want to enjoy perms even with short hairstyles, we recommend the “pin perm. It is a versatile perm that can be used to create the loose nuanced perms, the random movements of spiral perms, and even the strong curls of twist perms. The naturally curly look is also perfect for a casual makeover. In this issue, we focus on the “pin perm” and introduce recommended seasonal hairstyles and styling tips.

What is pin perm?
The pin perm is a type of cold perm that creates strong curl movement when the hair is wet. It is a companion to nuance perms, spiral perms, and twist perms, but there is a crucial difference: curls are attached using pins instead of the rods used in regular perm treatments. While other perms wrap the hair around rods to create regular curls, pin perms are simply hand-curled curls held in place by pins. This makes it possible to create random movements without regularity, and is also useful for creating bundles and flow by applying pin perms only to the ends of the hair. Also, since no rods are used, even men with short hair can apply perms and enjoy permed hair.

What to look for when ordering a pin perm
Pin perms tend to take longer than other perms, so if you are concerned about time, you should ask your stylist when you make your appointment. As for how long the perm lasts, it is relatively weak because it is loose. This perm is suitable for hairstyles with a natural finish, so if you want a well-designed hairstyle with a lot of movement or want a perm that lasts longer, it would be safe to consider other perms. Also, although we explained that it is suitable for short lengths, remember that you need at least 3cm~5cm of hair length.
Pin perms are for people with this hair type!
The hair types that are perfect for pin perms are straight hair, fine soft hair, and other hair types that are easily styled out of place. These hair types have the advantage of being easy to make flow and shine, but they also have the disadvantage of being difficult to add volume. However, simply applying a pin perm can improve this disadvantage by softening the roots and creating volume through the movement of the curls. The same volume can be added with a hair iron, an iron, or the heat of a hair dryer, but it is inevitably time-consuming. Therefore, for those who want easy styling, pin perms are recommended.
