Frequently Asked Questions

How should I prepare for my appointment?

Before your appointment, it's best to arrive with your hair in its natural, dry, and styled state. Avoid washing, brushing, or manipulating your curls as it can affect the final outcome. Make sure to come with your hair down and loose, without any accessories or hair ties, so that your stylist can see your curls in their natural form.

It's also important to avoid using heavy styling products, oils, or gels as they can weigh down your curls. Opt for lightweight products that enhance your curl pattern instead. During your appointment, be ready to discuss your curl goals and preferences with the stylist. Don't hesitate to communicate any specific concerns or areas you'd like to focus on during the cut.

Be prepared to actively participate during the cut. The stylist may ask you to shake out or flip your curls to assess their movement and shape. Embrace the process and trust your stylist's expertise. They will analyze your curls, assess their needs, and tailor the cut to enhance your natural curl pattern.

What can I anticipate during a Dry Cut?

This technique allows the stylist to see your curls naturally and tailor the cut to your unique curl pattern. By shaping each curl individually, you'll achieve a more balanced and even look that enhances your curls' natural shape and promotes bounce and definition.

One of the most significant benefits of a dry cut is that it helps maintain your curl pattern. When hair is cut wet, there's a risk of shrinkage and distortion, but the stylist can avoid any surprises by cutting your hair while it's dry. Plus, during the process, you can actively participate and provide feedback as the stylist assesses your curls' behavior and makes precise adjustments.

In addition to the personalized styling experience, a dry-cut session often includes a consultation where you can discuss your hair goals, concerns, and product recommendations. The stylist may offer advice on maintaining your curls and recommend specific products tailored to your needs.

A dry cut is an excellent choice if you want a customized experience that celebrates and enhances your natural curls.

How do I care for curly hair?

To keep your curls looking their best, here are some essential tips to incorporate into your curly hair care routine.

Consider washing your hair less. Curly hair doesn't need to be washed as often, as excessive washing can strip away natural oils, leaving your hair dry and prone to frizz. Find a balance that works for your hair and consider using a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo.

Moisturizing is key for curly hair's health and hydration. Invest in products specifically formulated for curly hair that contain moisturizing ingredients. These products will help replenish and retain moisture in your curls, preventing dryness and promoting overall hair health.

When it comes to styling your curly hair, it's best to avoid heat styling tools whenever possible. Heat can be damaging to curly hair, leading to frizz and loss of curl pattern. Instead, embrace styling techniques that enhance your natural curls. Plopping, which involves using a T-shirt or microfiber towel to dry and define curls, can help create bouncy and defined curls. Additionally, diffusing with a hairdryer on a low-heat setting can help speed up drying time while preserving your curls' shape.

Don't forget to schedule regular trims. Trimming your hair regularly helps to remove split ends and prevent further damage. This maintenance step is crucial for maintaining the overall health and appearance of your curls.
