As curly hairdressers, we've seen so many clients come in frustrated and unsure of how to manage their curls. One of the biggest concerns is finding the perfect haircut for their curls. So, in this post, we'll be sharing my top tips for finding the perfect haircut for your curls.
What is the best hair cut for curly hair?
The best haircut for curly hair is one that works with your curls, not against them. This means avoiding styles that require a lot of manipulation. Take a look at your curl pattern, you may find if you have large bouncy curls a short style won't suit, likewise if you have tighter curls a such as blunt one length cut will give you a triangular shaped silhouette. Instead, opt for a cut that enhances your natural curl pattern, such as long layers or a "curly shag" cut.
Can normal hairdressers cut curly hair?
While any hairdresser can technically cut curly hair, not all of them have the expertise or experience necessary to do so effectively. Many of us have different curl patterns, some may have a straighter section of hair such as round the neckline or sometimes around the front. when this is cut at a uniform length whilst wet the drying of the hair will then reveal uneven layers and something we call the mushroom shape. Curly hair requires a different approach to cutting than straight hair, generally dry and curl by curl as it naturally sits so it's important to find a hairdresser who specialises in curly hair.
What do I tell my hairdresser for curly hair?
When speaking to your hairdresser, it's important to be specific about what you want and what you don't want. Here are some key things to communicate: • Be clear about your curl type and texture. Are your curls loose or tight? Fine or coarse? This will help your hairdresser determine the best approach for your hair. • Talk about your styling routine. Do you air-dry or diffuse? Do you use any specific products? This will help your hairdresser create a cut that works with your styling routine. • Discuss your hair goals. Are you looking for more volume, less frizz, or a specific length? • Let your hairdresser know what you want to achieve with your haircut.
