Curly Korean Perm With Undercut

For a bolder and more impactful look, opt for curly Asian male perms. They can be accompanied by a fade or better an undercut, which gives even more contrast and draws attention to the curly top on Asian men hairstyles. Besides, such haircuts are relatively easy to maintain, as they feature little to no hair on the back and sides.

Korean Perm Male Mullet

To take your Korean wave perm male to another level, why not combine it with another popular hairstyle, like a permed mullet?

What Is A Korean Perm?

So, what exactly is a Korean men perm? You have most likely already seen it. This is a hair treatment that changes the structure of your hair so that it looks as if it is styled with a blow drier or a curling wand permanently. It turns out so natural looking that in most cases you will not be able to tell the difference. The style is characterized by plenty of volume and an elegant wavy silhouette that will last anywhere between three and six months.

How To Style Korean Perm Men

With Korean wave perm men do not have to put a lot of effort into styling their hair. Just follow these simple steps to achieve a cool and fashionable look:

  1. Use hair shampoo and conditioner aimed at permed hair when washing it.
  2.  Apply a curl cream once you have removed excess water from your hair and let it dry naturally.
  3.  Help your locks to form curls with your fingers.
  4.  For styling, use cream gels, cream pomades and pomade mousses.

How To Maintain Korean Perm For Men

For a better result, it is important to take care of your Korean male hair after you get the treatment. Here are some tips on how to do it:

1. Allow the perm to be settled.

Make sure not to let your hair get wet for the first couple of days after getting the perm done. You should allow it to settle in. Otherwise, you will just wash off the chemicals responsible for perming the hair as well as its natural oils. The swimming pool with chlorine water should be avoided at all costs.

2. Switch up for a gentle shampoo.

As you do not want to remove natural oils from your hair, use a gentle shampoo made for permed hair. The natural ingredients in it will extend the effect of the treatment and will take care of the locks.

3. Keep your hair hydrated.

Once you have washed the hair, follow up with a moisturizing conditioner. Make sure it does not contain SLS and parabens.
