Curls on Shine

Curly Girly Blog: A Cut Above!

nospam@example.com ()

Cutting curly hair is nothing like cutting straight hair — curly hair needs a lot of shape or it can take on a triangular shape. Here, some tips before you make your next salon appointment:

•Have your stylist cut your hair when it is dry — curly hair is different when it’s wet versus when it’s dry. Once dry, curly hair expands and gets shorter.

•Go for layers: Layers can eliminate bulk in curly hair. Avoid blunt cuts, which only make your curls expand more (not pretty on a hot, humid day!).
