Not only that – getting permed hair today doesn’t mean you have to compromise your cherished tresses’ health and integrity! The key to curls that are full of life is to moisturize diligently and use products that won’t damage your beloved hair.
There’s no doubt that the perm hair trend is on the rise and is here to stay! Let’s now explore this refreshed selection of perms for long hair. Feel free to screenshot your favorite permed hairstyles for long hair!
#1: Elegant Styles for Long Thick Tresses
The ideal base for those curls? A flowing mane of thick hair! Transform your strands with a perm for a stunning wavy appearance that enhances your natural beauty and style.
#2: The Effortless Beach Wave Perm
This hairstyle showcases her natural curls and offers a feminine vibe distinct from the typical artificial curls. The aspect I find most feminine after trying digital perm is what brings me the greatest satisfaction. Women who struggle to manage their hair or lead busy mornings should know how to style effectively. Hair that has been bleached should be avoided. Vibrant, healthy hair is the ideal state for a perm.
#3: Simplified Long Loose Perm
Create beautiful natural waves with a perm! Those lengthy tresses could benefit from some texture at the ends, providing a stunning contrast between the roots and the tips.
#4: Gentle Long Wavy Perm
Transform your lovely tresses with a fresh look! Achieve the appearance with a gentle wavy perm, and finish off with styling mousse for vibrant curls throughout the day.
#5: Textured Perfection
This is a look I achieved by wrapping your hair a certain way when perming this client’s hair. My favorite thing about it was how natural and effortless it came out. Doesn’t it make you want to perm your hair? Your hair must be dense, meaning that you should have a good amount of hair. Fine hair can be permed, but it won’t be as full and bouncy as this client here in the picture.
#6 The Twisted Spiral Perm
I love that a twisted spiral perm can add so much texture and volume to naturally straight hair or enhance natural wavy or curly hair. It’s big, fun, and definitely attracts attention! Getting a twisted spiral perm can take several hours in the salon – the more hair you have, the longer it will take, the more it will cost. It’s better to have a haircut with layers, so you don’t end up with a triangle, so I like to cut before and after the perm.
#7 Chic Long Curly Perm
Those flowing tresses deserve a makeover! Curled perms provide beautiful texture and maintain the volume of your hair, giving it a wonderfully thick appearance.
#8: Effortlessly Stylish Long Hair with Bangs
Getting a perm can be as uncomplicated as flaunting those naturally flowing waves from root to tip. Texture and a carefree vibe that is all the rage these days with face-framing bangs are the ultimate highlights of this transformative hairstyle.
#9: Stunning Styles for Long Thin Hair
A great way to achieve maximum texture is to have your long thinner hair styled with gentle waves. You can already do so much styling with this type of perm that is also easy to manage and maintain.
#10: A Contemporary Perm
A stylish interpretation of the tightly permed curls, this one focuses on providing your hair with that coveted beach wave effect. Maximum texture and volume are attained, ideal for a relaxed day out.
#11: Long Hair with Soft Curls
This hairstyle features a spiral perm for long hair achieved with my preferred perm solution, Organic Colour Systems ammonia-free solution from the UK. For styling, we incorporated Innersense Sweet spirit leave-in conditioning spray and Innersense volume lotion, followed by diffusing.
