Why We’re Loving Perms Right Now at Lore Hairdressing, North Baddesley
Permanent waves, commonly known as perms, rose to fame in the 1980s and have enjoyed decades of popularity ever since. While earlier styles focused on big volume, today’s perms embrace softer, more natural-looking curl patterns that add beautiful shape and dimension.

This service gives your hair gorgeous texture and body, making it the perfect option if you’re looking for a low-maintenance, get-up-and-go look that requires minimal styling.
Our perming service is ideal for anyone looking to add movement and va-va-voom! Whether you’re dreaming of soft beach waves, tight spiral curls, or something in between, we’ll create a gorgeous look that makes you look and feel fabulous.

How Perming Works
The perming process involves two key steps. First, we work on a molecular level to break down the hair’s keratin bonds so they can be reshaped. We then wrap your hair in rollers or rods to create a new curl pattern and apply a curling solution to set the shape. Once set, we add a neutraliser to rebuild the bonds and lock in the new style.
In simple terms, we reshape the hair from straight to curly, creating a beautiful new look with long-lasting texture.
Why We Love Perms
The world of perming is incredibly versatile, and we love this styling technique for so many reasons!
Versatility: There are so many beautiful styles to choose from when you get a perm. From tight, bouncy spiral curls to gentle body wave perms with larger, voluminous curls, we’ll help you find the best fit for your look and lifestyle.
Low-effort: Ditch the daily heat tools and enjoy effortless movement and style, day after day.
Long-lasting: Depending on your hair type, length, and aftercare, your perm can last anywhere from 2 to 6 months.
Caring for Your Professional Perm
During your perming service, we’ll also share our top aftercare advice to ensure your curls stay looking their best between salon visits.
Top tips include:
Wait 48–72 hours before washing your hair: Give your curls time to properly set by avoiding shampoo and conditioner for the first couple of days after your perm.
Use satin pillowcases: Sleeping on a satin pillowcase helps reduce friction, preventing frizz and keeping curls defined.
Regular trims: Pop in every 6–8 weeks for a maintenance trim to keep your ends healthy and reduce the risk of split ends.
