Quick answer
What is root straightening and a root volume perm?
Root straightening and the root volume perm are Korean techniques that treat only the root area to adjust volume. Root straightening smooths and flattens puffy roots for a sleek, controlled look; a root volume perm adds lift for fuller-looking hair. At Soonsiki Moment Hongdae, stylists tailor either option to your hair type, face shape and specific areas of the head.

FAQ
Root perm questions, answered
Should I choose root straightening or a root volume perm?
Root straightening suits thick, frizzy or puffy roots and creates a sleek look, often on the sides or top. A root volume perm suits flat or fine hair and adds lift. Both can be tailored to specific areas of the head.
How is this different from full straightening?
Root services treat only the root area, so your length and existing texture are not affected. For all-over smoothing see our hair straightening page.
Can I combine a root perm with other services?
Yes, root services often work best alongside a cut or perm — for example with a haircut or a bangs perm.
Is it suitable for men?
Yes. Men often use root control for puffy sides; a men’s down perm is a dedicated option for sides and back.
How often should I repeat it, and what does it cost?
It depends on your hair growth and styling needs. Ask us on WhatsApp for current price and time.
