Embrace your natural texture and work with your curls. Use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to keep your curls hydrated. Apply a curl defining cream or gel to your hair when it's damp, then let it air dry or use a diffuser for extra volume. Avoid heat styling as much as possible to prevent damage.

The main risk with curly haircuts is getting one from a stylist who isn't skilled in handling curly hair. It's important to find a hair professional who understands your curly hair's unique needs, to ensure you get a cut that enhances your natural curls.

Curly hair specialists offer dry cutting (cutting curls in their natural state), the Curly Girl Method consultation and haircut, curl-by-curl cutting, DevaCut, and rezo cuts. These techniques respect the natural curl pattern and spring factor to deliver shape and movement that standard wet-cutting cannot achieve.

Curly hair shrinks significantly when dry, behaves differently to straight hair, and requires cut decisions made based on the curl pattern rather than length alone. Wet cutting curly hair removes curl pattern context, often resulting in uneven length and shape when dry. Specialist dry-cutting techniques deliver far superior results.

That depends on your hair's health and how quickly it grows. On average, every 6-8 weeks is a good benchmark for curly hair cuts. Maintain your curly hair's health and definition with regular deep conditioning between cuts, and make sure to use curly-friendly hair products.

The Curly Girl Method (CGM) is a curl care philosophy that eliminates sulfates, silicones, and heat styling in favour of moisture-rich products, diffusing, and scrunching techniques. Many curly hair specialists are trained in CGM and can advise on product routines, haircuts, and styling tailored to your curl type.
