“I’d love natural-looking waves, but I’m worried the curls will be too tight or hard to style.”
If you’re drawn to soft, flowing waves, an S-curl look may be worth exploring. For this Bonté style, a digital perm added movement and a fuller-looking silhouette.
What are S-curl waves?
S-curl waves follow a flowing, S-shaped pattern. While a C-curl bends in one direction at the ends, an S-curl has alternating curves that show through when you wear your hair down.
The size of the waves and where they begin can create anything from subtle movement to a fuller look. Your hair’s length and layers also help shape the result.
Creating a soft flow with a digital perm
A digital perm uses a chemical process and heated rods to form curls. “S-curl” describes the shape of the wave; a digital perm is one way to create it.
This look focuses on soft waves that flow together. Even with the same technique, the finish can vary with your hair’s thickness, condition, and haircut.
Is this the look you’re after?
Consider discussing this style if you’d like:
- Natural movement in hair that tends to fall straight
- Relaxed, flowing waves rather than tight curls
- Soft volume and dimension when you wear your hair down
What should you know before your appointment?
Let your stylist know about any previous bleaching, coloring, or chemical straightening. Depending on the level of damage, a digital perm may not be suitable, or the desired curl may be difficult to achieve.
How you dry and style your hair also affects the way the waves look. Ask for guidance suited to your curls, and keep your hair conditioned according to its needs.
