Curly or Wavy? The Best Perm Styles for Every Personality
Haven’t you ever thought of changing up your hairstyle? Or maybe you go through your Instagram feed and look at all the beautiful waves and curls, wondering if you should get a permanent. Then one wonders: “curly or wavy?” As if that weren’t a challenge enough to present, it seems like there’s just too much choice out there, and one can easily become overwhelmed. Relax! We’re going to break it all down – just like I would if we were sipping lattes at a coffee shop – and help you figure out the best perm style that not only suits your hair but your personality, too.
So let’s be real for just a second here: hair is, obviously, part of who you are, and that’s what makes you feel awesome, right? So if something more carefree, bouncy, and adventurous, or maybe loose waves, comes into your mind, then I’d say, I guess there’s also a perm for that. Okay, let’s start.
The “Carefree Adventurer” – Loose Waves
If you like to discover new places, say yes to weekend road trips out of nowhere, and just try something without too much deliberation, loose waves might just be the match for you.
Loose, wavy perms are effortlessly chic. They are the hair equivalent of that casual, perfectly thrown-together outfit that somehow makes you look like a fashion icon without even trying. This style says, “I’m laid-back, but I have a fun side.” It gives you the lived-in, beachy look as though you had spent the day at the shore, even if you have been nowhere near the ocean.
Loose waves are just as versatile. You can let them flow for a completely relaxed-chic look, or you can just throw them up into a messy bun for a completely different, but yet just as cute, look. Not to mention, it is low maintenance, which is great if you’re always going out or you never have enough time to get ready in the morning.
So, if you have a free spirit who cares to live and breathe without a second thought, you might consider this wavy perm style that just fits your vibe.
The “Bold and Confident” – Tight Curls
Is it you? Are you that showstopper that people pass through a room to straighten up and look? If you are confident to stand out and never scared of going big, tight curls might be just the perfect fit for you.
It’s fun, full of personality, and almost like you, with vibrant, bouncy curls. They’re great for anyone who wants their hair to reflect their bold energy. With these curls, you’re definitely throwing the world a message that says you are highly vibrant, confident, and ready for anything.
The best part about tight curls is that they add a ton of volume and texture to hair. It doesn’t matter if you have naturally thick hair or not-you can rock it, and with a touch, it gives off a vibe of confidence and boldness. Plus, tight curls are really fun to play around with-shake them out for tons of volume or define them for a structured, chic look.
You can be extremely extroverted with your personality if that’s what you’re all about in terms of making a big impression. This style will definitely go with the energy.
The “Chill and Down-to-Earth” – Soft Waves
So, if you are more low-profile, like you are easily into a night of reading a nice book with a cup of coffee or a casual hangout session with friends, soft waves may be perfect for you. This hairstyle is like the girl next door of the perm world: easy, relaxed, and even flirty.
Soft waves are great for a person who wants to achieve that subtle yet pretty change. They are more relaxed than loose waves, but they still give you that gentle movement and texture that makes your hair feel alive without screaming attention. This is definitely something that will bring out your natural beauty without becoming overpowering, perfect for that type of person who would appreciate the simplicity and warmth in the look.
Let the softness of the waves bring out your natural charm. Easy to manage but still gives you that little extra something when you really feel like looking put-together without too much fuss. If you are a chill, down-to-earth person, this is that style that will bring out your laid-back beauty.
The “Classic and Elegant” – Defined Curls
Some people simply exude elegance. If you are someone who prefers a classic, elegant look, defined curls are probably your perm style to look forward to. Defined curls are structured and neat, creating the perfect chic-fun balance.
This is a great look if you want a little flare but still want to make it elegant. It’s good for someone who loves dressing up, whether that’s to go out at night or add glamour to everyday life. Defined curls provide a sleek, polished look that is always together-wonderful if you like your style to be as refined as your personality.
Defined curls go really well with most length and texture types, so whether you have long hair or short locks, this style can fit into your persona. If you are more of a classic, sophisticated person, then defined curls would be perfect for you.
The “Playful and Bubbly” – Spiral Curls
Are you a social butterfly? A jokester? Someone who can laugh while being surrounded by people? If you have such an outgoing personality with playfulness and fun, then spiral curls will suit you best.
Spiral curls are fun, bouncy, and full of energy—just like you! They add a playfulness and sense of enjoyment to your look. Whether it’s going out with friends or running some errands on a regular Tuesday, spiral curls add that little something magic to life.
This perm style is great for a person who totally adores playing with their locks. Since spiral curls are bold, they do this in a playful and witty manner. People who have an outgoing personality and love their young and lively looks will appreciate this creation.
The “Balanced and Versatile” – Beach Waves
Finally, let’s not forget beach waves. If you are of the balance type, you switch from work to play like a switch, and beach waves might be the perfect style for you.
Beach waves represent the ideal of both worlds. They give you that effortless, carefree vibe but polished enough to look chic and stylish. They are perfect for a chameleon who loves variety and needs a hairstyle that can easily get them from a business meeting to a night out with friends.
This style is versatile and works great with almost any hair length. You want to look relaxed and casual and a bit more dressed up, with beach waves covering it all. If you like to keep things balanced yet always want to look put together, beach waves are for you.

The finest perm style for you will always be the one that makes you feel as if you. Be it loose waves, tight curls, or anything in between, your hair should reflect who you are and make you feel great every time you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror.
