Curly hair cuts.

Let us start with the simplest.

1. Dusting. The trimming of ends of the curls is called dusting. It does not involve cutting large section of hairs.

• Lift the hairs from the top and pin them with clip or just tie them with ribbon.
• This step is not necessary if you have layered or thin or light hairs.
• Take the end of the curl and twist it.
• Now cut at the point where the hair splits ends.
• Cut at slight angle instead of straight angle.

Keep following points in mind while dusting.

• Don’t disturb the natural curl that your hairs make after cutting.
• Never pull hairs away from head in straight line; it will break the natural curl.
• Never cut curls uniformly. Treat them uniquely, separately and cut them accordingly.
• Unless you want new hairstyle, don’t go beyond cutting hairs splits at the end of hairs.
• Take the help of experienced hair stylist if you want new style.

 

2. Layering cut: instead of just trimming it involves cutting layers to up to shoulder level or neck level.

• Use hair spray.

• Lift the hairs from the top and tie with ribbon or clip at the top of the head.
• Clipping of hairs this way shows if your hairs are uniform at the bottom.
• Cut the end of the layer, cut curl by curl, and keep the baseline even.
• After this cut, again clip hairs at the top of the head and cut the new baseline lightly
• Repeat this pattern of cutting till hairs come to the neck or shoulder level.
• Part the hairs on either side of face and give shape according to the face size.

Keep following points in mind.

• The cutting should gradual, to get idea of how shape is coming up.
• Start giving shape to hairs only after cutting baseline even by taking 1-2 inch off the bottom
• Cutting too short will cut curls.
