Hair Perming in Ampang - Create Curls, Waves & Lasting Texture

Curls, waves or added texture that lasts — without reaching for the curler every morning.

Professional Hair Perming in Ampang

Are you planning to get hair perms in Ampang for creating curls, waves or added texture in your hairstyles? At Premium Old Skool Hair Salon Ampang, we offer hair perms that help customers reshape and alter their hair’s natural shape and appearance.

Hair perms use chemical treatments in order to create permanent curls or waves in your hair. The end results will depend on the natural texture, length and condition of your hair as well as the desired hairstyle that you want.

Before the procedure starts, our stylist can assess your hair and find out what kind of results you expect from it. This is especially true when your hair has been colored or bleached in the past.

The service

What Is Hair Perming?

Hair Perming is a chemical process for hair which alters the structure of the hair and gives it a curled or waved look.

While curls can be achieved using a hair curling iron, these curls are temporary, whereas perming aims at giving you a lasting result. However, as your hair grows, the newly grown hair will have your natural texture.

The outcome will depend on the size of the curls, hair length, and natural hair texture among other things.

What Hair Perm Styles Can You Consider?

The right perm style depends on your desired appearance and the amount of curl or wave you want.

1.

Soft Waves

A less intense wave can still provide movement and texture without the hair looking too curly.

This might appeal to those customers that want something more subtle and natural.

2.

Defined Curls

A more distinct curl will provide more texture and a greater transformation from straight or slightly wavy hair.

3.

Textured Perm

A textured perm can add body and movement to hair, particularly when you want more shape rather than a completely uniform curl pattern.

The suitable option depends on your hair length, density, natural texture and condition. Your stylist can discuss the achievable result before treatment.

Suitability

Is Hair Perming Suitable for Your Hair?

Hair length alone does not determine whether you can have a perm. The condition of the hair is equally important.

A consultation is especially useful if your hair has previously undergone:

  • Hair colouring
  • Bleaching
  • Rebonding
  • Straightening
  • Previous perming
  • Frequent heat styling

Hair that is heavily processed or damaged may not be suitable for another chemical treatment at that time. Your stylist can assess your hair and advise whether perming is appropriate or whether another hair service would be more suitable.

Hair length

Hair Length and Perming

Different hair lengths can create different results.

Hair Length

Short Hair

Possible Result

Can add texture, movement or defined curls depending on the desired style

Hair Length

Medium-Length Hair

Possible Result

Offers flexibility for waves, curls and textured styles

Hair Length

Long Hair

Possible Result

Can create softer waves or defined curls, depending on hair weight and condition

The final result cannot be determined by length alone. Hair thickness, natural texture and condition also influence how the perm develops.

Step by step

How Does Hair Perming Work?

A typical perm appointment involves several stages:

Preparation matters as much as the finish
  1. 1.

    Consultation

    Your stylist discusses your desired curl or wave pattern and reviews your hair history.

  2. 2.

    Hair Assessment

    The condition, length, texture and previous chemical treatments are considered.

  3. 3.

    Hair Preparation

    Your hair is prepared before the perming solution is applied.

  4. 4.

    Sectioning & Curl Formation

    The hair is divided into sections and wrapped or arranged according to the intended curl or wave pattern.

  5. 5.

    Chemical Processing

    The appropriate products are applied to help reshape the hair structure.

  6. 6.

    Neutralising & Finishing

    The treatment is completed and the hair is styled to reveal the finished texture.

The exact process and appointment duration depend on the length and condition of your hair and the type of perm selected.

After your appointment

What to Expect After a Hair Perm

It will also be seen that your hair will have different texture due to the treated portion. This can be quite different from your natural hair texture especially if it’s your first perm.

Your hair will continue to look the same way for a long time but when new hair grows out, it will still look the same as before. As the hair grows, you may eventually choose to refresh the treatment depending on your preferred appearance.

Aftercare

Hair Perm Aftercare

Proper aftercare can help maintain the appearance of your curls or waves and reduce unnecessary stress on chemically treated hair.

Recommended Aftercare

  • Observe the stylist's advice on when to wash the hair after the perming process.
  • Use hair care products meant for use by hair that has been chemically treated.
  • Ensure that the hair is sufficiently conditioned.
  • Where possible, avoid exposing the hair to a lot of heat.
  • Avoid further chemical treatment of the hair immediately after the perming process.
  • Gentle brushing should be observed while handling the hair.

If your hair has already been heavily processed, additional chemical services should be carefully considered.
