You have curly hair how should you cut it?

Answer 1

It depends. If you were cutting it yourself, then your best bet would be to straighten it first, then cut using the simple technique (explained below) or if you don't have straighteners, to avoid a big mess, cut a tiny bit at a time using the technique below. Or, if you want a drastic cut (long to short) tease the hair into a ponytail sweep at round the side, and just roughly hack at it until you get just below the desired length. Then neatly cut a tiny bit at a time (using technique below), to be sure of a great cut!

CUTTING TECHNIQUE

For curly hair:

To cut your own curly hair, you need LOTS of layers, of your head will look kind of triangular. A simple, easy way to do this is to bend over, grab all your hair into a ponytail at the VERY TOP of your head (if it is any lower then you will screw this up) then pull the bobble/tie down until the length BELOW the bobble, then stop moving it. And cut. Straight across, easy enough, and you get instant layers. And if you find you don't like it, nip to a salon, and because you have done the length yourself, they'll just need to tidy it up, and as long as you agree that they do it simply, no wash, no dry JUST TRIM they should just charge you the price of putting a fringe in, (75p - £1 or $1 - $2)

For straight hair:

You got it easy.

1. Step1

   Start with freshly washed, damp hair. If your hair is dry, spritz with water until damp. Comb out.

2. Step2

   Start with a plan. What do you want to do--cut off two inches or drastically change your whole look?

3. Step3

   Pull a small section of hair straight in your hand. Place your fingers where you would like to cut. Only cut about a half inch at a time.

4. Step4

   After each snip, stop and re-examine progress. Let hair fall straight. Is it even?

5. Step5

   Cut one side and then the other, rather than alternating--that often leads to cutting off more than desired. Instead, cut one side to desired length, and then match on other side.

6. Step6

   To cut layers, cut sections of hair to different lengths, making each cut on a sharp angle.

7. Step7

   Try to pull as much hair to the front to cut, but if you must cut the back, go slowly, use two mirrors (facing each other) and examine progress after each cut.

   Or if you mean what style to ask the dresser to cut it, go a half hour earlier, and check out some magazines, or book a consultation with your dresser before the appointment.
