What is a digital perm?

We offer our clients the best of Korean hair techniques, and although this technique is extremely popular in Korea, it is still unknown in France! Discover with us what makes the digital perm a revolution to give volume to your hair.

If you have particularly straight or slightly wavy hair but you dream of a real volume, a wavy or curly style, digital perms will give you that movement without having to go through the blow-drying process every morning!




How do I get a digital perm?

First of all, you need to decide on the type of style you want to adopt. With our stylists you can discuss what you want and what will work best with your face. Anything is possible! Unlike simple curly perms where the curls are tight at first and loosen over the weeks, the digital perm allows you to maintain the same curly or slightly wavy style for weeks and months. S, C or J curls, the choice is yours!

Once the style is determined, we will first protect your hair with our special perm care products. We then apply a setting product before arranging our thermo-conductive curlers, which we import from Japan and Korea, according to the style. We use a heat activating helmet that will heat up to 180° and shape the perm. With the heat and the application of fixing products, the digital perm allows to modify the structure of your hair. We use high quality Korean products and lotions, developed in Korea, which minimize the damage done to the hair during this process.

The treatment can last up to 4 hours for the longest hair but you will be safe for 4 to 6 months depending on how you care for your hair afterwards.

Display a wavy style for months without blow-drying and without drying out your hair because the products fix and protect the keratin as well as the amino acids that will keep your hair silky!


How to maintain your digital perm?

It is important to make sure that the hair does not get wet for a few days after the service. Also, shampooing is not allowed for 3 to 4 days after the perm, you can rinse your hair however if needed. After your perm, do not tie your hair back or wear hats for 3 to 4 days after the service.

Follow your shampoos with hair masks systematically to keep your hair healthy. Do not use anti-dandruff shampoos or shampoos that contain sodium hydroxide, as these will react with the hair setting products.

After a digital perm, be sure to air dry your hair by re-curling with your finger. And voila, your hair is voluminous, and keeps a flawless style for months.


What do I need to know if I want to try a digital perm?

If you want to try a digital perm, you should know that it is not recommended if you have bleached or henna-colored hair (henna and perm products are very reactive and can cause serious damage to your hair). Getting a perm of any kind is no small feat and is an important point to consider if you want to go the distance.

Indeed, perms are particularly damaging to your hair if not done by professionals. To ensure that your hair is healthy, we apply the Milbon brand of hair care products throughout the process. This brand of technical cosmetics is the number one selling brand in Japan, especially for its line of special perm products. That's why doing this kind of service with professionals is essential, to protect your hair according to its nature.
