Do I need a perm to get a Korean look?

The answer

No, you do not need a perm, because many Korean-style looks rely on the cut and blow-drying alone. A perm is an optional chemical service that adds wave or volume, and it comes with extra aftercare and risks. If you want body without a chemical service, try a layered cut, root lift from drying, or a light styling product, and discuss the options with your stylist.
