Hello, this is Parkjun Beautylab Cheongdam 🙂
When people think about their ideal hairstyle, one of the first things that comes to mind is “volume.” Full, natural volume makes hair look healthier, livelier, and more put-together — and it’s one of the most common concerns we hear from clients every day.
But even after a professional perm, volume has a way of fading faster than expected. As the scalp ages, this becomes even more noticeable. One often-overlooked cause? Scalp sebum. This is exactly why the Korean Volume Perm approach focuses on scalp health before anything else.
However, no matter how much you care about styling or getting a perm, you might have experienced your volume gradually fading over time. As the scalp ages, the sense of volume disappears even more, making that feeling more prominent. One of the causes that is easy to overlook is “scalp sebum.”
Volume is the foundation of great hair styling.
The Scalp as an Extension of Your Skin:
Why Scalp Care Belongs Alongside Facial Treatments
The scalp is skin — and just like facial skin, it contains sebaceous glands that produce sebum. In the right amounts, sebum protects the scalp. But when overproduced, it builds up around the hair roots, weighing the hair down and causing it to flatten.
This is especially true in summer or high-humidity environments, where sebum production becomes more active. That’s why volume you carefully styled in the morning can collapse by afternoon.
Many clients visiting Gangnam for facial volume treatments often overlook the scalp entirely. But since the face and scalp share the same skin system, addressing both at the same time delivers noticeably better results.
Why Does Your Perm Lose Its Shape So Quickly?
The Answer Is Your Scalp Environment.
No matter how skilled the technique or how premium the products used, a perm performed on an imbalanced scalp will not hold its shape for long. Perms work by restructuring the hair to create volume and curl — but if hair is growing from an unhealthy scalp, its elasticity and longevity will naturally decline.
That’s why scalp care has become an essential part of modern perm procedures — and a defining feature of the Korean Volume Perm method. Proper scalp care goes beyond shampooing — it involves deep cleansing of pores to remove excess sebum and waste, and rebalancing the scalp’s oil and moisture levels.
When a perm is performed on a well-prepared, clean scalp, chemical agents can work more evenly, improving curl elasticity and longevity. It also minimizes post-procedure scalp sensitivity — a common concern after chemical treatments.
Beyond short-term volume, scalp health has a direct impact on long-term hair quality. Hair that grows from a healthy scalp is thicker, more elastic, and more resilient to repeated styling. Without proper scalp care, hair gradually thins and weakens over time.
In the end, lasting volume starts at the root — literally. Combining a perm with scalp care is not just about aesthetics; it’s a choice for healthier, longer-lasting beauty.
If your volume keeps dying down, it may be time to look at your scalp condition rather than simply changing your styling routine. A healthier scalp means healthier hair — and better volume that actually lasts.
Introducing the 15-Step Korean Volume Perm at Parkjun Beautylab Cheongdam
1. Scalp & Hair Precision Diagnosis
We begin by assessing scalp condition, sebum levels, and hair damage to establish a fully customized treatment plan.
2. Scalp Deep Cleansing & Care
Today, we’ll be performing a perm along with scalp care!
This is a key step that enhances the perfection and longevity of the perm through deep cleansing, which removes impurities and sebum from inside the pores.
As part of this step, Parkjun Beautylab Cheongdam offers personalized aromatherapy using essential oils selected to match each client’s condition on the day. Aromatherapy is increasingly recognized as an effective method for stress relief and physical balance — a small but meaningful way to enhance the overall experience.
3. Perm Chemical Application (Using Customized Formulas)
We select chemical agents matched to each client’s hair condition, minimizing damage while maximizing effectiveness.
4. Rod Design & Winding
Volume placement and natural flow are carefully mapped before winding begins. At this stage, we also perform a root perm tailored to each client’s individual head shape to maximize volume where it matters most.
Why does head shape matter for a root perm?
Every client’s head shape is different:
- Flat at the back of the head
- Sunken at the crown
- Excessive volume on the sides
Because the ideal volume placement varies from person to person, a uniform root perm can actually create unnatural-looking results. The key is knowing exactly where to lift volume and where to keep it controlled. This precision is what sets the Korean Volume Perm apart from standard perm techniques.
The key is to accurately identify "where to add volume and where to press it down."
5. Heat Treatment or Digital Perm Process
A key step for natural curl formation and lasting elasticity.
6. Finishing Touch
Curls are set and secured through the neutralization process, completing the treatment.
