Digital Perm

Digital perm hair is a modern heat-based styling technique that transforms limp or straight hair into soft, voluminous curls. This method involves the use of digitally controlled ceramic rods, which regulate temperature and shape the curl pattern through a combination of heat and perm solution. The result is smooth, loose waves that form when the hair is dry, not wet—unlike cold perms.

“With digital perm, we don’t just curl your hair—we reshape your entire hair texture to hold softness, structure, and fluidity.”

• Digital perms are especially suited for:Medium to long hair lengths (especially digital perm medium hair clients)
• Individuals with coarse, thick, or resistant hair
• Clients looking for natural waves rather than tight curls
• Those tired of daily curling or heat styling

If you have fine or heavily bleached hair, a different approach may be more suitable due to the heat involved. In such cases, our stylists provide a tailored consultation to ensure hair integrity is never compromised.

Choosing between a cold perm vs digital perm depends on the curl type you prefer, hair condition, and your styling habits. Here’s a breakdown:

“If you want soft waves that require minimal daily effort, digital perm is the way to go. Cold perms offer tight curls but demand more styling attention.”

Digital perm on medium hair is one of the most requested services in our salon. Medium hair is versatile enough to support healthy heat styling and long enough to let curls fall naturally and bounce gracefully. For clients aiming for a shoulder-length wave or a layered lob with movement, this treatment delivers a balanced look without overwhelming the face.

Styling Ideas for Medium Hair with Digital Perm:

• Soft curtain bangs with cascading waves
• Layered ends to accentuate body and texture
• Loose spiral curls with minimal frizz

At REDS Hair Salon JB, we follow a 6-step process that prioritizes hair health and styling precision:

1. Consultation & Hair Analysis
   We assess the condition, thickness, and chemical history of your hair.
2. Preparation & Cleansing
   Your hair is gently shampooed and towel-dried before application.
3. Perm Solution Application
   A protein-enriched solution softens hair bonds for reshaping.
4. Digital Rod Placement
   Ceramic rods with temperature control are attached based on desired curl shape.
5. Heat Activation & Neutralization
   Heat helps set curls permanently; neutralizer is applied to lock them in.
6. Post-Perm Care & Styling
   We complete the service with a nourishing treatment and style your new waves.

To maintain your soft digital waves, follow these easy but essential habits:

• Use sulfate-free shampoos to avoid stripping the perm structure.
• Dry with a diffuser or scrunch hair upwards while drying.
• Avoid brushing when dry; instead, finger-comb or use a wide-tooth comb.
• Apply light curl creams or leave-in conditioners to boost shape and shine.
• Schedule a trim every 6–8 weeks to avoid split ends that disrupt curl patterns.

Prices may vary depending on hair length, thickness, and condition. Visit our REDS Hair Salon JB branches at KSL City Mall, City Square Mall, or Komtar JBCC for a free consultation.
