Hey, you cool guys out there! There is a hair styling phenomenon that not only young people celebrate, but also grown men, and rightly so: the perm or permanent wave. If you’re also riding this wave, you should keep a few things in mind to make your swag last longer.
Why a perm?
We’re not talking about Grandma’s perm or the Rudi Völler memorial hairstyle here. It’s about the cute, fluffy mane or the curly top of the head with shaved sides. The style that looks cool in every situation, for example, during sports, in the office, or casually getting off a scooter, and a style that moves with all your movements.
Hair care for perm: How to keep it a cool look
Now you’re probably wondering how to keep the wave looking great even after the hairdresser’s price-superstar day. Hereare some tips to ensure your hairstyle doesn’t look like you’ve been plugged into a power outlet:
1. Washing is not just washing!
Remember that permanent wave is a chemical process and changes the hair in a specific way. You should simply enjoy the curl dream for the first 48 hours and then use a sulfate-free shampoo that is gentle and nourishing. And don’t overdo the washing: artificial curls don’t want daily soap.
2. Moisture, baby!
Nothing keeps a wave in place longer than moisture. Make sure to use a good conditioner regularly – think of it as a hair hydration mission! A leave-in conditioner can give hair extra shine and smoothness. Self-care is sexy!
3. Blow dry it – but with style!
If you want to post-process your waves, use a diffuser. This helps define the waves without ruining the structure of your new perm. After that, you can enjoy the warm summer breeze without worrying about flat hair!
4. Styling products for cool waves
Use hair creams or light foams to define the waves. Make sure not to use too much product, or you’ll look like a salad with too much dressing. Who wants a sleazy guy?
5. Brushing is out of question!
You should use a wide-toothed comb or your hands instead of a brush for your waves. Light knots? Don’t pull on them! That stresses the curls like a nagging parent.
Whether you’re going for a beach boy vibe or a leather jacket look, let your hair be loose and messy, as if you just got out of the ocean. These well-groomed curls can be worn by anyone and they simply elevate any outfit.
With the right care, you’ll set your wave and yourself perfectly in the spotlight – effortless coolness in its purest form.
You can make a wave here! Your professional will surely help you with that.
