This is a publication made in partnership with Juciara, a natural hair specialist!
I asked you to share with me some tips for curly women who want to go to hairdressers and how to do it, here are all the tips!
Today we're going to talk about types of cuts for curly hair and Juciara starts by saying that the cuts don't always have a name, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Some hair has such particular characteristics that people can describe exactly what they want and how they want it, when it comes to scissors. Of course, the opinion of the professional helps a lot when choosing, because sometimes what the client mentalizes for her hair may not work, when we take into account factors such as density, texture, curvature, length, volume, etc ...
One of the most requested cuts is always the layered cut, which is perfect for curly hair. The more hair the client has, the more layers the professional can do, remembering that you can't close your eyes to the curvature differences if there is one. Even in curly hair it is very common.
In the same head there are several types of curvature. No snail is the same, and every day they are different depending on the finish and the products applied.
In general, the layers are always welcome on all types of curls, regardless of the base in V, U, straight or beak (Chanel), the layers serve to harmonize the cut, bringing lightness for those who like volume, or distributing the strands better avoiding the mushroom effect for those people who don't like the volume.
There is also the option of Pixie cut for curly hair, which is a very short cut, ideal for lovers of detachment.
In this cut, the back and sides are really short and the fringe slightly bigger, used for one of the sides chosen by the client.
Another cut that is also very requested by the most daring curls is the famous DevaBob, well known as the high-end Chanel or LongBob. Yes, it takes boldness, because in this cut a considerable length is lost in the back and when the client has attachment to the hair she cannot. This cut is also indicated for people who are in transition from straightening to natural hair, because during this process the front of the hair takes a while to acquire length because it is located on the highest part of the head. Chanel in the transition leaves the neck all natural and preserves the length of the bangs when the person cannot give up all the chemistry.
And finally this wonderful hair that his owner thought was just plain weird. This is an example of straight hair, which came to life when cut in layers with a U-base and finished with specific products and techniques for curly hair 💜
In general, curly hair is particularly beautiful, and each person has a taste. There are those who like volume and there are those who do everything to control it. There are those who like it long and there are fans of the short one. There are those who like the straight base, U-shape, V-shape. The difference between them is only the design. Each curly chooses the base to their liking. When choosing the V-base, the hair needs to be of a certain length to be able to obtain this shape.
For people who do not find a professional snail specialist nearby to do the dry cut, try to understand the differences in your hair with respect to curvature, as each has its own shrinkage factor. As a rule, professionals in common salons tend to cut wet hair, and in the case of snails, this service may not work if the natural characteristics are not respected and / or when the professional does not have a perception of these differences. If you wish, you can also choose to take your products for cleaning the hair, in order to avoid using the products of the salon, as they are always loaded with aggressive ingredients to the health of curly hair that naturally is born drier.
At the time of finishing, with the hair very wet, you can divide it into 4 parts, pass the finishing cream, distribute the product well through the locks and then separate them with your fingers or with the help of a brush, doing what we call fit. To dry it is necessary to use the diffuser, while it is dry it is better not to touch the hair to avoid frizz. After being completely dry, you can stir to loosen the curls and undo the harsh effect of the products.
