Most of us thought thatpermswent the way of shoulder-pads.
But decades after the 1980s, both are back.
And perms (short for “permanent wave”) look altogether different these days.

This rounded bob uses shape to show off the tightspirals.
Here, ends hit at the ears, and matching spiral-permed bangs add to the overall look.

To replicate this look, ask your stylist not to perm your bangs.
Instead, use a round brush to blow-dry it slightly under.
Soft Layers

We also love the addition of the ombre ends, which further accentuates the layers.
Shaggy Bangs

Pair your perm with shaggy bangs and loose layers for ’70s-chic perfection.
(And of course, this copper hue is next-level cool, too.)

Ask for a curly,wavytexture that’s totally edgy instead.
This short, lightweight bob is just the ticket to curls that look alive.
These waist-length spirals prove a perm looks fresh on ultra-long hair, too.

you could’t go wrong with bouncy spirals and soft texture.
For this look, the bangs are just slightly asymmetric, rather than blunt.
Here, layers frame the face and the whole look is topped off with a newsboy cap.
