Preparing for your appointment:
Curly hair significantly benefits from dry cuts, which help achieve the desired shape. This method is particularly effective, considering the various curl patterns we have. I request that all my clients arrive with freshly washed, conditioned, and detangled hair on the day of their appointment, styled as they normally would with their favorite products.
My Process:
I begin by cutting the hair dry, focusing on the desired shape. Initially, I work with the undisturbed curl pattern, asking clients to tilt their heads in different directions so that gravity reveals the shape and curl pattern. I trim any curls that do not align with the desired shape. After this, I alternate between sides, cutting back and forth to ensure evenness.
Once the initial shaping is complete, I finger-comb the hair to allow the client to see the shape and confirm that we are satisfied with it. Next, I wet the hair and dust the edges. To finish, I apply product and either diffuse the hair or place it under a dryer, depending on the client’s preference. We will repeat this process again in 3 months once the hair has grown another inch and a half, to clean the up the ends. This also allows us to continue to work towards the desired shape and/or maintain a healthy beautiful shape. To book your dry curly hair cut in NYC, call 718-926-4050 or contact me via email.
