Choi Woo Shik Shadow Perm: Autumn Men's Hairstyle Trend

The see-through shadow perm, popularized by actor Choi Woo Shik, is gaining traction as a leading men's hairstyle trend for autumn. This style is characterized by bangs that are thinned out to subtly reveal the forehead, along with a mix of C-curls and S-curls in the top hair to create volume and a natural, flowing look. Unlike parted styles, it flows forward without a distinct part, offering a calm and warm impression that complements autumn attire like knits and coats.

This perm is ideal for hair that has grown out to a suitable length after being cut short in the summer. For round face shapes, revealing the forehead creates a vertical line, and side hair can be pressed down with a down perm to make the face appear less wide. For angular face shapes, the curves of the perm soften the bone structure. It also benefits those with flat back heads by enhancing crown and back volume. For longer face shapes, it's advised to reduce crown volume and bring the bangs down further to create a horizontal flow.

The style is easy to manage, requiring only scrunching while drying to set the shape, making it convenient for busy mornings. Recommended hair lengths for this perm include bangs covering the eyebrows, top hair reaching below the eyebrows when pulled forward, and side hair covering the ears. Adequate length is crucial as curls can make hair appear shorter than its actual cut length, and some variations incorporate more pronounced vintage perm curls for added individuality.
