PROBLEM
“My hair is straight, and the top always ends up flat.” “It’s hard to add volume to my hair, so my style ends up looking lifeless.” “Even when I use wax, I can’t get any dimension, and styling every morning is a challenge.” If you have these concerns, we recommend this sophisticated short perm, which creates soft movement and volume.
SOLUTION
We create a layered cut tailored to your bone structure and hair texture, adjusting it to create natural volume from the top of your head to the back. By combining this with a subtle perm, we soften the stiff, flat appearance typical of straight hair, adding soft movement and dimension. With natural, subtle curls that aren’t too strong, we create random movement at the ends for a light, airy silhouette. We offer a short perm perfect for mature women that’s easy to dry and style with styling products.

A Sophisticated Short Perm That Adds Soft, Fluffy Movement to Straight, Flat Hair “My hair is straight, and the top always lies flat.” “It’s hard to get volume, so my style ends up looking lifeless.” “Even when I use wax, I can’t get any dimension, and styling is difficult.” For mature women with these concerns, we recommend a short style that combines a layered cut with a subtle perm. People with straight hair tend to have hair that falls straight down, making it difficult to create volume at the crown and back of the head. Additionally, since the ends lack movement, the hair often looks heavy and flat overall, even after styling. In this case, we used a layered cut tailored to your bone structure and hair texture to create natural volume from the top of the head to the back. We then added a subtle perm to give the ends soft movement and dimension. Rather than creating strong curls, we focused on creating a natural flow to the hair, resulting in a light, airy look and a feminine, soft vibe. With short perms, it’s not just about adding curls—the balance with the cut is crucial. Since the final result varies depending on where the layers are placed, how the hair volume is adjusted, and the strength of the perm, we design each style to suit your individual hair texture and facial structure. Simply working in some styling product after blow-drying makes it easy to add movement to the ends, so this style is also recommended for those who want to simplify their morning routine. “My hair is straight and lacks movement.” “I want soft, voluminous lift at the top.” “I want short hair with natural movement.” “I want to make styling easier.” If any of these sound like you, please feel free to consult with us. For women in their prime looking for short haircuts or short perms in Omotesando, we’ll propose styles tailored to your hair texture, facial structure, and daily hair care routine.
