It is Important to Know How to Cut Curly Hair, If You Want a Good Look

You must know how to cut curly hair, in order to create a style that does not look odd. Curly hair absolutely must be cut in layers, if you want to maintain the curl. If you prefer for your hair to look straighter, it should be kept at one length.

When the hair is cut, it is important to remember to cut it longer than you intend for it to be, once it is dry. The fact of the matter is that curly hair will shrink as it dries. If it is cut too short, the curls will end up in completely different places than they were intended. This can make for a very unappealing look.

It is also important to remember when dealing with curly hair, that it is generally drier than straight hair. With that said, you will never want to dry your hair with a blow dryer, without a diffuser. This will flatten the curls, and usually leave a frizzy, unmanageable look. Ideally, curly hair should have a small amount of leave in conditioner, or styling product added, and dried naturally. If possible, the best way to dry it is in the natural sunlight.

Here’s a hint for people with curly hair, which tends to be dry. You will notice on your shampoo bottle, it says “lather, rinse, repeat”. Understand, this instruction is not for you. You do not need to repeat the shampooing process. This will only strip your hair of any natural oils, making it drier. What you want to do instead is this. Lather, rinse, condition, condition again.

When you first get into the shower, wash your hair. Rinse it immediately, and add conditioner. Leave the conditioner in your hair the entire time you are in the shower. Just before getting out, rinse the conditioner out, and condition it again. This will ensure that your hair will be more manageable, and softer.

Remember, a proper cut, and proper hair care, will give your hair a much more attractive look.
