Root Perm Flat Length Down
Root lift on the crown combined with a down perm at the sides — opposing chemistry on one head.
What makes this look work
The shape comes mostly from:
- sides pressed flat with a down perm
- a dark brown colour
Before you choose it
- Upkeep · Higher upkeep
- This shape rewards regular styling — the reference finish leans on it.
- At the salon
- A perm (heat or cold) may be involved — worth discussing your hair's condition first.
- A treatment supports the finish.
How any reference lands depends on your texture, density and daily routine — that conversation is what your stylist is for.
