Layer Cut Curly Hair

From my site: http://www.lookgreat-loseweight-savemoney.com/ this video explains how to target short layers in your long layered haircut to a specific place. Curly hair is a bit tricky to cut since you need to have straight hair to do the long layered cut. Therefore, measure your hair when it's dry with the curls still in it, then mark your guide, then wet it to straighten it. find your guide, then cut it bluntly, just like in the long layered cut video. IF you have any questions or are unsure of yourself, don't try it. Go to a hairdresser who can do it for you, and explain the haircut to her. You can always get more great tips from my site about your hair. Feel free to ask me questions too, at http://www.lookgreat-loseweight-savemoney.com/hair-care-questions.html

Thanks!

This is an aweeswome video! I just layered my very curly hair the old fashioned way and it took me about an hour and a half. This is SO much easier and makes perfect sense! Excellent video, Carolyn! Thanks for posting! :)

@CheezInspector I just wanted to add that its all good! This conversation is valuable to anyone wanting to use this cut so thanks for bringing up your valid points! XO

@CheezInspector Well, let me just say that everyone needs to make adjustments for their own curl pattern. I have very curly hair underneath and on the right side of my head. On the left side, not so much... and so I consider myself to be an 'inbetweener' and this cut works for me. Maybe I'm just not as picky as others though. Tolerance has a lot to do with it too I think. If you have shorter hair, your hair in the back won't reach the front to cut it using the newer technique though.

[CheezInspector]

@notaditdot, hmmm ... I'm thinking when this works it's because there's less overall curl and/or a pretty consistent curl pattern. Otherwise the ponytail thing has been disastrous for me and for other curlies I know. But yes, if you want to cut corners to save time, someone can attempt the ponytail but should be willing to potentially pay the price for not being more patient IMO. As for how to cut the back w/the "newer" technique, you cut it using the same technique as the rest of the head.

[notaditdot]

@CheezInspector I think its a matter of preference also. Personally, I like the idea of getting the cut done all at once instead of taking possible hours and hours to cut each different curl pattern. If your hair isn't long enough, how do you use the 'newer' technique to cut the back? This technique just simplifies it. If you prefer a dry cut, then cut your hair when its dry, using this technique. The ponytail method has been around for years because it works so well! XO Carolyn

@notaditdot, I agree with Crazygoofu2. You happen to know how to handle your own hair type, but curly hair has a wide range of hair shrinkage. The latest techniques for curly hair take shrinkage and mixed curl patterns in account by shaping the curls while dry. And it isn't wise to try and straighten the curl before a cut simply by wetting it down. Hair saturates and dries unevenly so you'll likely take too much curl off some areas and not enough on others.

@crazygoofu2 I've been cutting my own curly hair for decades now and used both wet and dry methods and had good results either way. I think its more a matter of preference and/or convenience!

[crazygoofu2]

Nope... your not suppose to wet curly hair while cutting for a reason.... its so you can see where it falls when you cut it.. why would you need to measure it when you can see it dry.
