Essential tips to maintain your Korean perm at home for men <\/span>in Singapore<\/span><\/h2>\n

1. Don\u2019t immediately wet your hair\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

As tempting as it might be to wash your hair in the days after getting your perm, doing so can strip the chemicals and natural oils present! Not immediately washing your hair is important for maintaining Korean perm for men <\/span>in Singapore<\/span>, which requires you to pay extra attention within the first few days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For starters, upon leaving the salon, hairdressers often recommend that you protect your hair from water for <\/span>at least<\/span> 48 hours to allow the curls to settle in. Also, make sure you avoid contact with chlorinated water \u2013 that means no swimming! Chlorine can dehydrate your hair by seeping into hair cuticles and prevent it from regaining its natural moisture.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Using the right shampoo for permed hair<\/span><\/h3>\n

Korean perm for men <\/span>in Singapore <\/span>may cause hair to become dry and brittle \u2013 after all, it\u2019s been heavily doused in various chemicals to help with the curling process. Unfortunately, your permed hair won’t survive washes with regular<\/span> shampoos<\/span><\/a>. To resolve this, use gentler shampoos that easily remove dirt from your hair without stripping away the natural oils.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some perm-friendly shampoos to keep an eye out for! The KEVIN MURPHY ANGEL WASH<\/a> (available on WOOSHOP Singapore<\/a>) is supercharged with soothing ingredients like lavender <\/a>extract, antioxidant-rich green tea<\/a>, oat protein<\/a> and tangerine oil that gently cleanses your scalp. Alternatively, consider the <\/span>Pantene Pro-V Shampoo <\/span><\/a>(available on <\/span>P&G Official Store<\/span><\/a>). The colour and perm lasting care variation target the restoration aspect as a new protective layer is generated around every strand of hair. This can work wonders if your hair is badly damaged by the chemical treatment!<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Learning to use conditioners<\/span><\/h3>\n

Far from being an unnecessary accessory, conditioners help to increase overall hair protection, reduce frizz and moisturise individual strands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Check out<\/span> Grafen\u2019s Cica Care Treatment<\/span><\/a> (available on<\/span> GRAFEN.kr<\/span><\/a>) and <\/span>HASK Curl Care Detangling Conditioner <\/span><\/a>\u00a0(available on <\/span>Watsons Singapore Official Store<\/span><\/a>)<\/span>! Both conditioners counter the moisture stripping aspect of most shampoos and focus on moisturising the hair so it\u2019s able to stay elastic and radiant. In fact, the <\/span>HASK <\/span>conditioner can even help to detangle those curls after showering which prevents further breakage and gives you frizz-free curls! <\/span>Moreover, natural ingredients help protect the hair from exposure to parabens<\/a> and silicone<\/a> found in many shampoos. These conditioners guarantee you won\u2019t have to worry about overall hair health, even after going for multiple sessions for Korean perm for men here in Singapore<\/span>!<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Avoid combing or towel-rubbing permed hair<\/span><\/h3>\n

You might naturally consider towel-rubbing and using a comb<\/a> to detangle your wet hair. This is a sure-fire way to ruin your perm as the hair cuticles will be damaged and your hair can get frizzy from the friction. Trust the good ol\u2019 air-drying method instead! It avoids ruining the perm’s curls and gets your hair dry without applied heat from any hairdryer<\/a>. If you must speed up the air-drying process, switch to a <\/span>microfibre towel<\/span><\/a> (available on Jean Perry Official Store.SG<\/a>)<\/span>\u00a0and use the blot and squeeze technique to dry your hair. Compared to regular bath towels<\/a>, microfibre towels<\/a> have a texture that\u2019s comparable to silk<\/a>. These fine fibres thus allow you to dry your permed hair without damaging them the way bath towels can.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Using diffuser attachments with your hairdryer<\/span><\/h3>\n

Tired of waiting for your <\/span>Korean <\/span>permed hair to naturally air dry <\/span>in the Singapore heat<\/span>? For guys with lengthier or thicker hair, consider investing in a<\/span> diffuser nozzle<\/span><\/a> instead! Diffuser attachments like this <\/span>Laifen Swift Diffuser Nozzle<\/span><\/a> (available on <\/span>Laifen Singapore<\/span><\/a>)<\/span> are specifically designed to evenly spread airflow from hairdryers. With hot air being dispersed over a larger area as compared to a concentrated area, there\u2019s less risk of hair frizz <\/span>and you get naturally defined curls!<\/span> This allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds as your hair dries faster without getting damaged by the extra heat.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Applying curl creams and leave-in conditioners<\/span><\/h3>\n

Curly hair requires extra hydration, especially if you get a Korean perm. To make them last in their best condition, try using<\/span> leave-in conditioners<\/span><\/a>. Compared to normal conditioners that would be washed out after your shower, leave-in conditioners are meant to be applied on damp hair to provide extra moisture to your strands even after your hair dries. We recommend using the <\/span>Sheamoisture Strengthen & Restore Treatment Leave-In Conditioner <\/span><\/a>(available on <\/span>Unilever International<\/span><\/a>) to soften and protect those strands in our humid weather!<\/span><\/p>\n

For styling purposes, using <\/span>curl creams <\/span><\/a>like the <\/span>DASHU Daily Volume Up Curl Cream<\/span><\/a> (available on <\/span>DASHU_official.sg<\/span><\/a>) that brings extra hydration and maintains your waves throughout the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Avoid wearing caps or headphones<\/span><\/h3>\n

To make the most out of Korean perms for men in Singapore, we suggest not wearing any <\/span>hair accessories<\/span><\/a> like <\/span>caps<\/span><\/a> or even using <\/span>headphones<\/span><\/a> for at least a few days after your perm. Opt for an <\/span>earpiece<\/span><\/a> instead, so your hair\u2019s curl pattern stays intact. Still unsure when you can start wearing caps? It never hurts to ask your hairdresser!<\/span><\/p>\n

What is a Korean perm?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you watch Korean dramas or have seen male K-pop idols like <\/span>V <\/span><\/i>from BTS, you\u2019ll notice the subtle textured waves in their hair that gives them the <\/span>\u201cI woke up like this\u201d<\/span><\/i>\u00a0 look. According to popular Korean hair salon Kimage, the Korean perm creates effortless waves that look voluminous whilst looking natural and soft. Korean perms for men usually last about six months in Singapore. But it\u2019s also largely dependent on how well it is taken care of.<\/span><\/p>\n
