Korean C-curl perm: what it is, who it suits and what to tell your barber

Korean C-curl perm is a medium-length cut listed under women's cuts in the FitMyFace catalog. The catalog describes it this way: shoulder-length hair with the ends curled softly inward in a C shape and airy volume.

Who it suits

The catalog lists round, oval, square, heart-shaped and diamond face shapes as suiting the korean c-curl perm. It marks no face shape as a weaker fit.

For a round face: Add height on top and keep the sides slimmer to lengthen the face. For an oval face: Balanced proportions: most cuts work, so pick for your lifestyle. For a square face: Soften a strong jaw with texture, layers and movement.

The catalog pictures it on straight hair. The catalog says a stylist can usually cut it on straight and wavy hair, and leaves curly and coily hair off that list, so ask a stylist who works with your texture.

FitMyFace hair previews are approximations, not predictions of how your hair will lie after a cut. Ordinary hairstyle try-ons perform face analysis on-device. The optional AI previews (hair and glasses) send a photo to Cloudflare; your consent is the one "I agree" on the scan screen, and a switch on the results turns them off.
