Cutting Super Curly
Curly

Consultation

Curly
• Stylist must notice the client’s face shape, the
hair, the curl type, the hydration level, and
body type to provide recommendation for the
length of the haircut and where layers and
volume should be achieved..

• Curly hair will be cut dry for best results. Since
the client has their hair curly most of the time, its
easier to see how the curls sit at its natural state
when its dry. Therefore, when cutting it dry the
stylist can shape and cut the hair visually to
achieve the best results of how it suits the client’s
face shape and body. The stylist should let the
client know ahead of time that cutting it dry may
look overwhelming because of the different
techniques used than cutting straight hair.
Everything is done by the eye.

• Determine the products being used and past chemical
services performed, professional or self-administered.
Knowledge of any potential product build up, previous
coloring or past damage should be taken into account
when determining the actual hair texture. With all
these factors taken into consideration stylist should
recommend the client to use products in the hair to
properly maintain curl formation and hydration of the
hair. (further details in the next question) If the client is
unsure of how to style their curly hair then the stylist
should teach them step by step on how to manage
their curly hair.

• Shampoo recommendations should be
provided since curly hair tend to need more
moisture as its more porous than straight hair.

• Stylists should visually show the client where
their hair will sit when the cut is executed.
Show the client by lifting the hair, explaining
why more volume is needed in the places that
should have more body. This process is done
by using the mirror.

Required Tools
• Scissors, clips, products, diffuser, cape, towels,
alcohol bottle, mirror, wide tooth comb.

Executing The Cut

• First cut the perimeter of the hair, do not cut a blunt
perimeter because it will fall too heavily on the ends. In order
to create a softer well balanced perimeter, use your eyes to
see where the curls needs to be cut. No tension is needed
because dry curly hair shows where it naturally sits. Free hand
point cutting the ends is recommended because it creates a
softer perimeter.

• Next, section with your fingers the crown. The section from
the crown to the nape is to lessen the weight. In order to do
so, you would need to do a concave round layers on the
bottom half of the section and then do a convex layers on the
top half to lessen the weight. With this technique the curls
can stack nicely on top of each other. You can also slice and
carve the curls with your scissors to lessen more of the
weight.

• Next, at the crown you can cut a concave or
triangular layers to give the hair some shape.

• Finally use your eyes to look at the overall
shape of the hair, cut any scraggly ends and
any area that needs more balance and shape.

• After the haircut, the client’s hair is washed,
diffused, and styled again to show the best
result of the haircut that was executed. Lastly,
educate the client on proper maintenance of
the hair, as well as rebooking the client for
proper cutting intervals.

Be-Curly Style-Prep
• Curly hair tends to be drier than straight hair, therefore it
needs more moisture. The style prep adds moister and curl
definition because it seals the cuticle, taming frizz, and
detangles to reduce breakage from combing. It also helps
maintain the curls longer while leaving the hair softer not
‘crunchy’. It contains wheat protein and organic aloe which
helps expand the hair as its wet and retracts when its dry to
intensify curls. The organic baobab and babassu oil and
macadamia nut helps seal, soften, and moisturize hair. Guar
bean and plant-derived cellulose help maintain curly styles
throughout the day. Lastly, certified organic lime, lemon,
bergamot, orange, and other pure plant and flower
essences create a light, refreshing aroma.

Super Curly Cuts
(Afro Texture hair)

When cutting super curly hair, there is more
“shaping” required rather than a structured cut.
If a lot of weight is needed to be removed using
techniques such as notch cutting and weave
cutting will remove the most weight.

There are two types of ways to notch cut:
• 1) Taking small sections • 2) Taking horizontal
and twisting the hair slices and cutting out
and slide cutting down curls staggered to make
the twisted section. room for other curls.

• Another way to remove
weight is weave cutting
where you take slice of
hair and weave out a
section with your
scissors and cut across
horizontally.

• The things you need to take into consideration about
the client and what he/she wants.

• 1. How often does your • this is important
client wear their hair because if the client
straight. wears their hair straight
often you will need to
do more of a structured
hair cut

2. The types of curls your client has.
• The type of curl your client has will determine
whether you will do a structured cut or a visual cut.
There are four different types of curls (wavy hair,
curly hair, curly kinky hair, afro hair).

3.How much weight is wanted/
needed to be removed.
• You need to know this
so you can visualize the
balance of the curls but
also remove weight.

4. Wet vs. Dry Cutting
• You will decide whether to cut it wet or dry depending on
the curls and sometimes depending on how often they
wear their hair straight. You would mostly cut hair wet if
the curls are loose waves and cut dry when they have tight
curls.

What we think
• 4. There are different techniques that you can use for
different types of curls. If you have loose wavy curls
you would most likely do a more structured haircut
rather than just notching, slicing, and weaving. For a
structured haircut you would cut hair when its wet. If
you have tight kinky curls you would cut your hair
dried. You would obviously try and balance the hair
out and slide or notch cut to remove weight and trim
up the hair.
