Curly hair you always tie up? Read this before your first Volume Magic.

Curly hair you always tie up? Read this before your first Volume Magic.

Rain makes it puffier. Worn down, it gets frizzy fast, so you tie it up again. Volume Magic (볼륨매직) is a Korean straightening service. It calms the curls but keeps soft roots and ends. Here is what to know before your first time.

Regular Magic vs Volume Magic
Regular Magic (매직) is straight from root to tip. It looks the calmest, but the top can look flat. Volume Magic lifts the roots a little and curves the ends inward, like a fresh blow-dry.

Who it suits
It works well on wavy hair that tangles underneath, or hair that puffs up on humid days. If your curls are very strong or your ends are weak from bleach, we check your hair first.

Want color too?
Both use chemicals, so the order and timing depend on your hair. When you book, just say you are thinking about both.

Day one
Wash only when your stylist says. Skip ponytails, clips, hats and tucking hair behind your ears for now.

Next time
Plan by root growth, not by date. Ask about Root Volume Magic (뿌리 볼륨매직) for the new growth only.

Stylist tip: Just say "smooth my curls, but keep the ends natural." Tell us about any recent color or bleach.
