Do you think it would be cringe if a man got a perm? The girl I've been dating for a while is really interested in curly guys, and I want to try it. How long does a perm last for guys? What do you think about it?

The longevity of a perm for guys, or for anyone, depends on various factors, including hair type, aftercare, and the type of perm used. Generally, perms can last anywhere from a few weeks to several months.

Coarser and thicker hair tends to hold a perm longer than fine or straight hair. The natural texture of your hair can influence how well it retains the curl. There are different types of perms, including digital, cold, and hot perms, each with varying durability. Digital perms, for instance, can last longer, sometimes up to six months or more, while cold perms might have a shorter lifespan. Proper aftercare is crucial for maintaining the perm. This includes using sulfate-free shampoos, conditioning regularly, and avoiding excessive heat styling. The better you care for your permed hair, the longer it will last.
As your hair grows, the perm will gradually move away from the roots, leading to a change in the look of the perm.

Typically, you can expect a perm to last anywhere from 2 to 6 months. To extend its lifespan, follow a good hair care routine, and consult with your stylist for advice tailored to your specific hair type and desired style.

Just so you know perms have a really bad smell to them because of the chemicals they use. Also, you have to take really good care of your perm to make it stay curly. If you’re up for the challenge, do it. Get with your local hairstylist and ask questions.

In my personal experience I once did a perm to straighten my hair and it lasted 6 months.
