C curl is a type of perm that features soft and voluminous curls. As the name suggests, it showcases curls shaped like the letter C that curve inward at the tips of your hair. A C curl perm is ideal if you prefer a style without highly evident waves, such as beach waves or loose waves.

In our hair salon in Singapore, our body and texture hair stylists recommend a C curl perm if you're looking for added volume and smoother curls that are low maintenance and easy to manage.

If you're considering getting a Korean C curl perm and want to learn more about this popular hairstyle, this article is for you. We cover the top questions asked by our customers at our hair salon in Singapore: what it means to get a C curl perm, how long it lasts, how to maintain it, and how much it costs.

Answering your questions about Korean C Curl Perm Hair

1. What is C curl perm?

As mentioned above, C curl perms feature curls shaped like the letter C that curve inward at the tips of your hair. The portion of your hair before the tips remains straight and gradually curves inward toward the ends.

To achieve a C curl perm, our hairstylists at our hair salon in Singapore use the Digital Perm method, which involves heat and chemicals.

2. How long does C curl perm last?

A C curl perm can last up to 4 to 6 months, although this greatly depends on how you regularly maintain your hair. We recommend using hair care products designed for permed hair and visiting our body and texture stylists for a trim every 4 to 5 weeks. Regular trims help maintain the overall appearance of your hairstyle.

3. What is the difference between C curl and S-curl perm?

C curls feature inward-looking curls at the tips of your hair that mimic the letter C, whereas S-curl perms are more evident throughout the hair, resembling the letter S. There are various hair perm methods available to achieve these styles. At our hair salon in Singapore, we offer cold perm, digital perm, and airwave perm. The curls from an S-curl perm can range from loose to tight, while those from a C curl perm are soft and subtle.

4. How do you maintain C perm?

To maintain your C curl perm, we suggest waiting at least 24 hours before washing your hair. If you plan to swim soon after your appointment, wear a swim cap to protect your perm and maintain its structure.

For hair care products, use a heat protectant when styling with heat tools. For shampoo and conditioner, choose products specifically designed for permed hair. It is best to select hair care products that are rich in protein and
sulfate-free.

A
mong our best-selling hair care products for curly hair, Lucicare Milk S and Lucicare Milk C are top picks because they help moisturize and keep perm hair healthy. Remember, perm treatments can deplete hair moisture due to the chemicals involved, so it’s crucial to use moisture-rich hair care products to compensate for this loss.

5. How much does a perm cost in Singapore?

Here are the prices for our hair perms at our hair salon in Singapore, categorized by hairstylist level:

Junior Stylists:

Hot Perm / Trend Perm (S Curls, C Curls, Loose Waves) + Cut - $140 to $180
(
Note: We offer a weekday special where you can add a post-perm treatment for an additional $25.)


Senior Stylists:

S Curl + Cut + Pre and Post Treatment - $230 to $290

6. Can I go swimming with a perm?

Yes, you can go swimming with a perm, but we highly recommend wearing a swimming cap. Doing so will protect your hair from saltwater, harmful UV rays, or chlorine.

7. Where are your hair salons in Singapore located?

Our hair salons in Singapore are located at Northpoint City, Parkway Parade, Tampines, Toa Payoh, Marina Square (Kimage Cove), Tiong Bahru Plaza, Lot 1 Shoppers Mall and Bukit Panjang Plaza.
