What is a Korean Digital Perm?

A digital perm is a modern Korean hair technique that uses heat-controlled rods and a special solution to create soft, natural-looking waves. Unlike traditional “cold perms,” which make tight curls, a digital perm gives a smooth, bouncy texture that looks more natural—especially when dry.
At Salon de Seoul, we use high-quality Korean perm machines and premium solutions to protect your hair while creating long-lasting waves.
Why It’s So Popular

Natural results: Soft, shiny waves that move like natural curls.
Low-maintenance: Spend less time curling or styling daily.
Customisable: From C-curls at the ends to full S-waves, you can choose your style.
K-beauty inspired: Perfect for achieving that trendy Korean hairstyle look.
Which Hair Types Suit a Digital Perm?

A Korean digital perm works best on:
- Straight or slightly wavy hair
- Medium to long hair lengths
- Hair that is healthy and not overly damaged or bleached
- Thick hair (Does not mean amount of hair)
Not Be Ideal For
- Very short hair (pixie cuts)
- Over-processed or fragile hair or bleached or higlighted
- Extremely curly or coarse hair (may need other techniques)
- Fine hair
At Salon de Seoul, our stylists carefully assess your hair before recommending the most suitable perm type.
How to Care for Your Digital Perm
To keep your waves soft and healthy:
First 48 Hours
- Don’t wash your hair for at least 24–48 hours.
- Avoid tying your hair tightly or tucking behind ears.
Daily Care
- Use sulphate-free shampoo and a moisturising conditioner.
- Blow-dry with a diffuser for defined curls.
- Apply a curl cream or leave-in treatment for smoothness and shine.
Long-term Tips
- Use deep-conditioning masks weekly.
- Avoid frequent bleaching or harsh heat styling.
- Visit your stylist every 2–3 months for trimming and wave touch-ups.
A digital perm usually lasts 6 to 12 months, depending on your hair type and care routine.
