Perms can add volume and definition to your hair, but maintaining one requires some maintenance. Maintaining an effective perm for men may prove challenging; however, with the appropriate shampoos, conditioners, and styling products, you can keep those coils looking hydrated yet stylish.
Rockstar Curls
Opt for a messy perm to achieve a look that combines style and comfort. This technique uses curling rods of different sizes to create loose waves that look more natural than regular perms – making an effortless manner, you can wear with beards or mohawks quickly!
Julianne Hough’s Beachy Waves
Julianne Hough gave the world an example: not all perms must result in tight, ringlet-like curls when she got a spiral perm in 2009. Instead, her results were loose beachy waves that perfectly defined effortless chic style. To achieve this look, your stylist will begin with your dry hair before applying perm solution and treating it with a neutralizer to help maintain its new textured style.
Long Fringe Perm
A long fringe perm for guys is an incredible hairstyle for broad foreheads. Additionally, this perm adds texture and volume to your style and looks incredibly stylish when paired with fades on both sides of the head. Before going for this type of men’s perm, it’s wise to let your hair grow out longer so it will have enough length to frame your face with curls and create an iconic, timeless style.
Wavy Side Part
Try this wavy side part with a high fade to show off your curls with more flair than just a mohawk. Perfect for long perms and any thin spots around your cheekbones, this style’s wavy texture helps hide any light imperfections while emphasizing cheekbones. Combine this style with a thick pomade-like Bed Head for Men—pure Texture Molding Paste to keep ringlets in place all day.
Tousled Top Perm
If tight coils seem outdated, try going for a tousled perm instead. This versatile style can add edge to a mohawk haircut, give a pixie haircut a modern vibe, and be easy to manage daily with products such as texturizing spray for men. A tousled perm is ideal for medium-length hair as it balances its voluminous top layer and short sides and back length.
Remember to use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to maintain the integrity of your strands while preventing frizz and flyaways. Leave-in conditioner or styling products like mousse or gel can add body and definition for more defined locks. Experiment with different styles and find the perm that suits your style and preferences.
