Hair Awards 2021: Best Perms To Take Your Hair From Blah To Bouncy
Be it tousled curls or soft waves, there’s something for everyone
There is a reason why perms have been so popular in Singapore for years. Adding texture to super straight hair gives tresses volume and movement, which also makes styling easier. But instead of the curls that were popular in the ‘80s and ‘90s, today’s perms boast curls and waves that are less uniform thanks to the use of different size curlers and rods – no two curls or waves are the same, making the style look natural and like you were born with it.
Combining the use of advante water (also known as electrolysed water) and a digital perm, this perm not only gets you glossy curls, but minimises damage done during the treatment process as well thanks to the infusion of 18 amino acids to the hair cortex. Our curls were on point and hair never felt dry or brittle, even after washing at home.

At Kimage, you don’t just get a perm, you also get pre- and post-perm treatments to ensure that hair and scalp are kept healthy during the chemical process. More importantly, the skill and dedication of the stylists ensured that our perm was uniquely ours, mixing curlers of different sizes as well as adding colour highlights (at an extra charge) where suitable, to bring out the best in our new ‘style.

Unlike a traditional perm that uses alkaline solution, the Advante Perm uses an acidic perm lotion at a pH level of 4.5 to help maintain the health of your hair. This results in a mild perm treatment, though still effective, that still allows you to be able to change up your hair style frequently or even re-perm tresses in as short as four months, without causing further damage. Our curls was soft and bouncy, while hair still looked healthy even a few days after.
