Amos Curling Essence
Amos Professional
Read our Amos Professional brand guide →A Korean curl essence direction for maintaining soft waves and perms without crunchy stiffness.
Why Asian Stylists Recommend It
Korean and digital perms are common in Asian hair but drop and frizz between salon visits; a curl essence from a Korean brand revives and defines the wave without the crunchy stiffness a Western gel leaves on heavy hair.

Permed or naturally wavy Asian hair that needs soft, defined, frizz-free curls.
Avoid if
Skip if you want pin-straight styling or firm, crunchy hold.
Why we recommend it
Amos is a Korean salon brand, and its Curling Essence is built for something a lot of diaspora clients carry over from Asia: a digital or Korean perm they want to keep soft, not frizzy. Scrunched into damp permed or naturally wavy hair, it revives the wave and adds definition without the crunchy, wet-gel stiffness that makes Asian hair look stringy. It suits heavy, straight-leaning hair that drops its curl fast, giving the pattern something to hold. Use it on towel-dried hair and scrunch upward; re-mist with water to reactivate on day two. It defines and maintains a perm — it will not create curl on unpermed hair.
