Men’s perm for short hair

If you have short hair, we suggest exclusively working your curls on the top lengths of your strands, while keeping the back and sides neat with a tight fade. The contrast in length and texture makes for a seriously cool and contemporary way to rock this edgy ‘do in your many mane!

Styling tip: To really give your curls some extra definition, try working some of the Lynx Natural Look Flexible Control Cream into your tresses with a hair sponge. It works a treat with afro hair textures and Asian hair, too!

Men’s perm for long hair

If you’re lucky enough to have ultra lengthy locks, then the aim of the game is to give your look as much impact as possible – and that’s where the perm steps in. Bringing loads of bounce and lift to thin and fine hair, the addition of curls in your long hair will ensure that your tresses don’t just lie flat. And when you get tired of wearing your hair down, simply pull your locks up into a messy man bun, for an on-trend, textured updo!

Styling tip: When working with a curly mane, you’ll want to keep the inevitable frizz at bay. To do this, apply some of the Dove Advanced Hair Series Pure Care Dry Oil Nourishing Treatment to damp hair, before letting it air dry.
