Dry cutting is a technique where the hair is shaped in its natural, dry state—exactly how you wear it every day. This approach allows me to see your true curl pattern, density, and how your hair naturally falls, which leads to a more precise and customized cut. For curly and textured hair, dry cutting is especially effective. It helps avoid surprises like shrinkage or uneven shapes that can happen when cutting wet hair. By working curl-by-curl, I can fine-tune areas that may need more shape or less bulk, resulting in a balanced, flattering look that supports your hair’s natural movement. It’s important to note: curly cuts are made to enhance your texture. If the hair is later blow-dried straight, the shape may appear uneven or choppy. That’s because the cut is designed to complement your curls—not fight them. Dry cutting allows your natural texture to lead the way. It’s not just a technique—it’s a philosophy of honoring the way your hair wants to exist.
If you wear your hair curly most of the time, a dry cut is likely the best choice for you. Cutting curls in their natural, dry state helps preserve their shape, volume, and overall integrity—so the final look reflects how your hair lives day-to-day, not just how it looks when wet. On the other hand, if you prefer to wear your hair straight the majority of the time, a traditional cut on blown-out hair might be the better option. This ensures a smooth, even shape that aligns with how you typically style your hair. The bottom line? Your haircut should reflect how you wear your hair. Dry cutting offers precision and personalization that’s perfect for those embracing their natural curls.
