Shadow Perm Thick-Rod Sides

The loose end of the shadow perm family — thick rods used everywhere, giving movement rather than curl.

What makes this look work

The shape comes mostly from:

  • a soft crown-area perm
  • movement from the beach wave
  • wispy fringe
  • a dark brown colour

Before you choose it

Upkeep · Medium upkeep
Expect a few minutes of styling most days to keep the shape reading the way it does here.
At the salon
A perm (heat or cold) may be involved — worth discussing your hair's condition first.

How any reference lands depends on your texture, density and daily routine — that conversation is what your stylist is for.

Bring this to your appointment

“I like the beach wave and the medium silhouette, and the wispy fringe. Can we talk about how this would sit with my texture and my routine?”

A starting line for the chair — edit it into your own words.
