For a Korean Perm on men, a Cold Perm can be done at home: apply the Cold Perm solution (Step 1) evenly to the hair without rinsing, wrap the hair in rollers, leave it for 5-10 minutes, then rinse and set the shape. No heat is needed because the solution does the work chemically.
The 5 main Cold Perm steps
- Apply the Cold Perm solution (Step 1): spread it evenly through the hair and make sure every strand is covered; no rinsing is needed after application.
- Wrap the hair in rollers: divide the hair into small sections and roll each one; the roller size depends on the type of wave you want.
- Leave for 5-10 minutes: no heat exposure is required as the process relies on the chemical action of the solution.
- Rinse and set the shape: rinse with clean water to stop the solution; then set the shape with a wave-locking product such as a spray or gel.
Advantages of the Cold Perm method
| Advantage | Description |
|---|---|
| Easy and practical | Can be done at home without complex salon tools. |
| Natural result | Soft, elastic waves suited to the trendy Korean Perm look. |
| Safe for the skin | No heat is used, so the risk of scalp irritation is minimal. |
Important tips for the best result
- Avoid contact with the scalp: use a brush or applicator so the solution does not drip onto the scalp.
- Section the hair: for long or thick hair, use 8-10 sections for more precise application.
- Soften the hair first: damp, softened hair rolls more easily and helps prevent damage.
- Use quality products: for example Cold Perm Step1, a professional formulation for consistent results.
Expected results
- Natural waves with high elasticity.
- Suitable for messy waves or Korean-style soft curls.
- No damage on sensitive hair or a sensitive scalp.
Safety practices
- Do not leave it too long: never leave the solution on for more than 10 minutes, as the hair may become too dry.
- Do an allergy test first: apply a little solution behind the ear 24 hours before the process.
Who is it suitable for?
- Hair type: thick, coarse or hard-to-manage hair; hair damaged by colour or heat, as long as there is no scalp wound.
- Target styles: Korean Perm, Textured Waves or Natural Curls.
After-perm care
- Use a sulphate-free shampoo to maintain moisture.
- Apply a hair mask once a week to prevent dryness.
- Avoid combing roughly; use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
