Step-by-Step Guide to Getting the Look
Consultation and Customization
Achieving Kim Ji-Won’s hairstyle starts with a thorough consultation at Protrim Hair Salon, where stylists consider your hair type, face shape, and maintenance preferences. This ensures that the perm and layers are customized to enhance your unique features and fit your lifestyle.
The Perm Process
The process involves applying a carefully selected perm solution that suits your hair condition, followed by the strategic use of perm rods or digital perming technology to create the desired curl pattern. Attention to detail during the perm process ensures that the curls are evenly distributed and natural-looking.
Cutting and Layering
After the perm, the stylist will cut layers into your hair to promote bounce and movement. Layering is crucial as it frames the face and allows the curls to settle in a naturally flattering way.
Styling and Maintenance
Post-treatment care is essential. Protrim Hair Salon recommends using sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners made for curly hair to maintain the perm’s integrity and hydration. Regular trims and occasional touch-ups on the roots may also be necessary to keep the hairstyle looking fresh and vibrant.

FAQ
Q. How long does it take to achieve this hairstyle?
Achieving ‘Queen of Tears’ Kim Ji-Won‘s hairstyle with a combination of C-Perm and Root Perm, including layering, typically takes about 3 to 5 hours at Protrim Hair Salon. The duration can vary based on your hair’s length, thickness, and condition. We ensure each step, from applying the perm to cutting and styling the layers, is done meticulously to achieve the best results.
Q. Can I maintain this hairstyle with a low-maintenance routine?
Yes, one of the advantages of the C-Perm combined with a Root Perm is that it is designed to be low-maintenance. The natural-looking waves and volume at the roots reduce the need for daily styling. To maintain the look, we recommend using a good-quality, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner, applying a deep-conditioning treatment weekly, and using minimal heat for styling. We’ll provide you with all the necessary tips and product recommendations during your visit.
Q. What should I do if my hair starts feeling dry and brittle post-perm?
It’s important to keep chemically treated hair well-moisturised. If your hair feels dry or brittle after getting a perm, incorporate a hydrating hair mask or leave-in conditioner into your routine. Also, ensure you protect your hair from heat damage by using a heat-protectant spray before using any styling tools.
Q. Are there alternative styling options if I enjoy the volume but prefer less curl?
Absolutely! If you prefer a style with less curl but still want the volume, you might consider a lighter wave or body wave option, which uses similar perm techniques but with larger rods to create a looser wave pattern. This style maintains volume and adds texture without the tightness of traditional curls. Our stylists can tailor the perm to match your preferred level of curl and ensure it complements your overall look and lifestyle.
