#1: C-curls

C-curls are flattering for every face shape. They are especially useful for girls with medium to long hair that falls around the collarbones to refine their jawline. This hairstyle presents a gentle and loving charm.

#2：Wavy perm

Parallel waves can enhance the texture and the silky look of the hair. Long hair that falls below the shoulders looks especially feminine in this hairstyle.

#3：Cloud perm

Cloud perm is also called “Korean-style lazy perm” as the laidback and voluminous curls do not require extra care early in the morning. The bolder and more casual style gives a soft texture to your hair with a touch of elegance.

#4：Teddy bear perm

The cute curls are as adorable as a fluffy teddy bear as its name suggests. This style suits the best for chin-length to shoulder-length hair with curls starting from around the ear level. The voluminous and natural-looking curls can give you a youthful and lovely look.

#5：Build perm

The curls fall below the chin and lightly touch the collarbone area, adding volume to the hair on both sides of your face. This soft and gentle look is suitable for round faces, long faces, diamond faces or oval shapes.

#6：Hippie perm

A hippie perm for medium to long hair and the Western-style deep side part are in fact a nice match. The bouncy curls are especially suitable for girls with thin and fine hair and less hair volume. The slightly frizzy look gives off a bold and wild vibe.

#7：C + S curls

Many permed hairstyles only use C-curls or S-curls, while this option enjoys the best of both worlds. C-curls along the cheekbones to the cheeks can add more volume to the hair and make your face look smaller; S-curls towards the hair ends can help you get through the awkward stage of shoulder-length hair nicely. This look is a must-have for your growing hair!

#8：Jelly perm

Looking bouncy like jellies, the medium curl is a toned-down version of hippie perm and a tighter version of loose waves. It will not look too heavy and oozes a romantic and sweet vibe. This is a low-commitment way for your perfect mix-and-match!

#9：Vague perm

A vague perm applied on medium to long hair with an airy and elegant cut can add rich volume to your hair and refine your facial contour. You can also match this hairstyle with a deep side part or curtain bangs to offset the sharp cheekbones and soften the facial contour.

#10：Elisabeth perm

Elisabeth perm (엘리자벳펌) is recently the most sought-after permed hairstyle in Korea. The airy curls add volume to the hair and bring a slimming effect, exuding a taste of sweetness and charm. You can also try to pair them with curtain bangs to refine the hairline and offset the large forehead. Your face with look slimmer and longer visually.

#11：Flower perm

A flower perm has medium curls between flowy waves and tight curls. Compared with a traditional perm, a flower perm produces more defined curls for a more youthful and energetic look. The curls are neat visually, while the layers are a great way to add some instant major volume to your hair.

#12：Gentle loose waves

Gentle loose waves with curls at the bottom send out a carefree and natural vibe. You can also match this hairstyle with curtain bangs. If you don’t want a heavy look with your long hair, you may sweep the bangs towards the back of your head with natural-looking lines that emit a feminine charm.

#13：Wind perm

Wind perm, as the name suggests, means an airy and natural look with hair swaying in the breeze. Don’t worry if your hair looks slightly untidy as this creates a natural windblown effect, which makes this hairstyle a perfect choice for the more laidback girls.

#14：Tammy perm

#15：Hug perm

A hug perm involves a layered haircut that removes the weight at the bottom and curtain bangs that perfectly blend into the “embracing” look. The overall style aims at presenting feather-like layers which look trendy and gorgeous with ease.
