10 Stylish Men's Short Perm Hairstyles: Types of Perms, Recommended Styles, and Styling Tips

Short perm hair is a popular men’s hairstyle that creates a perfect balance between the freshness and masculinity characteristic of short lengths and the softness of perms. The perm gives the hair just the right length and movement to create a stylish and casual atmosphere, and as long as you are careful with the perm, it can be used for any occasion. In this article, we will focus on perm styles for men’s short hair, explaining the types of perms, recommended hairstyles, and styling techniques.

What is the Appeal of Men’s Short Perm Hair?

Needless to say, perms can dramatically increase the fashionable level of hair, but above all, the fact that they make styling easier should not be overlooked. Especially since many Japanese people have thick and hard hair, it is sometimes difficult to create movement at the ends of their hair when they have short hair, but perms make the hair soft and easy to style. Since the shape of short permed hair is already defined to a certain extent, it can be completed by simply rubbing in a styling product in a slightly wet condition, which is especially useful for those who do not have time to spend on styling. Many men may say, “I don’t like the volume that comes with perms,” but there are perm types that adjust the flow and volume of the hair, so it should be easy for them to try.

What kinds of perms are there for men?

There are many types of perms. The most common type of perm for men’s hair is the ” cold perm,” in which the curl becomes stronger when the hair is wet. There are many types of cold perms, so we will introduce a selection of perms that are often ordered at beauty salons these days.

Men’s Perm Types (1) “Nuance Perm

Nuanced perms are characterized by a loose, curly look. Large rods are curled irregularly, creating curls so natural that at first glance it is hard to tell whether the hair is permed or unruly. This perm is easy to order for people with straight hair who want to give their hair a moderate makeover. Also, since it gives a natural finish, it is often safe to order at schools and workplaces that are strict about appearance.

Men’s Perm Types (2) “Pin Perm

Basically, a tubular tool called a rod is used to give a perm, but with the pin perm, as the name implies, pins are used to curl the hair. The aim is to create a hairdo with a carefree, frizzy look, without the curled look of a normal perm. It is also possible to play with the ends of the hair by applying pin curls only to the ends. Even if you are not able to do very fancy hairstyles, pin-curls on the bangs can create bangs with a natural flow.

Men’s Perm Types 3: “Twisted Perm

Since this perm twists and holds the hair in place, it is suitable for creating fancy hairstyles. An extreme example would be easy to imagine the voluminous styles of hip-hop artists. However, the strength of the curls can be changed by adjusting the amount of twisting and the chemicals used, so it is possible to create a more restrained style. One thing to keep in mind is that twist perms are more damaging to hair than other perms, so it is important to take good care of your hair. It is easy to style for different occasions, so it is recommended for those who are not good at setting and those who want to express their individuality.

Men’s Perm type④ “Spiral Perm

The spiral perm is a perm in which the hair is curled while the rods are crossed vertically. The impression can be changed by changing the size and length of the rods, which allows for a wide range of reproducible styles. The alternating curls also help to create a three-dimensional effect. Using larger rods, it is possible to create loose curls like a nuanced perm for a natural hair style. Consider the strength of the curls based on whether you want a unique style or a style that can be used in business situations.

How long does a perm on short hair last? How long does it take to get a new perm?

The length of time it will last depends on the length of your hair and the strength of the perm, but for short lengths, it is basically about 1~1.5 months. The shorter your hair is, the more you start to notice the difference between the root part and the part that is not permed, and the shorter the perm span becomes. Also, the recent trend of “nuance perms,” or “loose perms” that make your hair look frizzy, don’t hold up well, and often don’t last even a month, depending on the hair type. Incidentally, it is said that thin and soft hair does not hold up well.
