I did my first perm at Reds @ Bugis Junction. I wanted to opt for the Loreal Wonder wave cuz my friend did hers and it turned out well but the hairstylist recommended a digital perm instead. Well, it turned out well, i really love it. You can give her a try

i just did my first perm yesterday!

i wanted my hair to be sth like shakira (hahaha!) and stylist gave me a spiral perm. satisfied!

did mine at Le Sandy (by Sandy and Li Ling).. $155 for hair that reach slightly below bra.


I think if you want to have something more fun than just glam bouncy big curls, you can try spirals :D

Mine's a digital perm. Manageable, I don't use hair products besides shampoo and conditioner. I got it done at kimage, about two hundred dollars...4 months old already...

What i knew the digital perm is newest technology use the eletric hot to perm the hair, it's not so dry and not so damage your hair as ceramic perm.

Basically this Japanese Digital Perm is modern technology has revisited the idea in light of the advances made in chemical texture services with Japanese Thermal Restructuring techniques. The new “Digital Perms” use specially devised equipment that are combined with specially formulated waving solutions to combine chemical and thermal waving techniques to give smoother, healthier waves. The heat application is controlled and more productive, and the results are smooth, clean waves and curls in the hair.

The biggest difference between other perms and a digital perm is the shape and the texture of the wave created by the digital process. A normal perm, or a “cold perm”, makes the wave most prominent when the hair is wet, and loose when it is dry.

A digital perm makes the wave most prominent when the hair is dry, and loose when it is wet. Therefore you can create the dry and curly look of the curl iron or the hot curler. The digital perm requires heat, so it is also called a “hot perm” in comparison to the “cold perm”.

One of the beauty with Japanese Digital Perm is that it's make styling very easy, and if you set the curl in the morning, at the end of the day when the wave loosens, you can revive the curl just by curling it with your finger. The look is especially popular among women with long hair and traditionally straight hair types. This has made the process extremely popular in Asia and other regions where straight hair is the ethnic norm. Most digital perm machines come with a wide range of rod sizes, so virtually any permed look is possible.

As with the Japanese Restructuring and Straightening service, you should look for salons that have specially trained technicians before booking this type of appointment. Be sure to do your homework and check out the technician’s experience level with Digital Perms and ask to see a portfolio and references.

ME !!! I find myself dropping more hair after digitial perming !!! Finally decided to cut away all my damaged parts and give my hair a break. Now i'm itching to do a japanese perm...lol. But I'm not sure what's the difference btw jap perm and digitial perm. Can anyone please enlighten me??

Overall, jap perm is just using chemical while digital perm is chemical with heat. Digital will last longer while jap perm only 1-2 months.

The stylist says that if I dun want lasting curls, can choose jap perm.
