The problem I have with most hair stylists is as soon as I show them a picture of what I want they always say “you don’t have that kind of hair” and that gets me so frustrated because I know my hair is curly, (not as curly as yours though) and I know how my hair behaves and what I can achieve when I style it. So I’m always having to reply “I know, but can you cut it to that style anyway?!” And then I go home and I style it, and I’m fine. 😅
100%. Hairdressers are used to curls in my home country, but I had to resort to hair schools while I lived in the UK because hairdressers only knew how to do straight or coily hair, and at least in schools they were super receptive to any of my tips/instructions (stuff like: cut on wet, envision the cut but then do it 10-15cm below that to allow for shrinkage, layer layer layer drastically layer because I don't want to look like a bell, any bangs must be at least nosetip length, don't dry fully when finished, etc.)
Did my own curly haircut for the first time yesterday and my hair has never looked better, this is the first time I’ve liked my curls. The layers and method of styling make a huuuge difference.
Wow! Thank you for sharing. Lately haven't understood why my top layers are so flat, with almost no curls anymore while underneath is still curly as usual. Haven't gotten a cut in a while, now I'm excited to get one and see the difference!
I remember so vividly being like 14 years old, asking for layers, and the lady at the salon going, "oh no, i don't think you'll like layers on your thick hair." I looked like a TRIANGLE, Patricia!
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I’m growing out my hair, that I realized was curly not just wavy after I cut it all off. Now I know what i need to tell the stylist as it gets longer!
@@flyingmintbunny1286 Honestly I just kept trying. I kinda do like the wolf cut. You can find some good tutorials on UA-cam. I like Brad Mondo's. Just make sure to go slow. You can cut more hair of but it takes time to grow back
Same. I've gone to the same stylist for 15 years. But when she didn't have any openings and my schedule didn't match hers... Absolute torture. I'd tell the stand in stylist that my hair will get coarse, sticky and curly once they wash it. Every time, they were surprised when it was wet. I've had so many try to comb out my wet hair with a regular fine tooth comb, just ripping at my head, or taking over an hour to comb it out. The frustration of being gaslit about my own hair and what kind of brush or comb to use 🥲🫣
Stylist here, please specifiy you want a round cut with uniform layers, round cut by itself means one length, and that is a blunt cut, the layers are a whole other technique we use.
My hair is not as curly as yours but I found that the best haircut for my hair is shag. I always wanted it but only recently found out its name. It's perfect!
LOL the first pixie-cut I ever got. My friend gave my other friend (who has straight hair) a pixie cut and it turned out amazing. So of course I wanted to try having one. The first time she ever cut my hair she ended up pretty much buzzing down the sides and back and leaving about 4 inches on the top. She just wasn't used to my curls and cowlick 😅 I went back and got another pixie cut from her and she did an amazing job now that she knows what she's dealing with ❤
I’ve been cutting my own for 6 years, never goi nag back. My hair is hip length so it can be tricky but i know my hair better than any stylist could. I’ve got that shit down to a science now
i asked for a butterfly cut bc i knew it would give me a lot more volume and dimension. sometimes i like to west my hair not curly so i wanted a haircut that would work for both.
Yes! I tell them to make me look like a Q-tip. I once went 9 months with no color, no blow drying, trying to get my hair longer. I decided to get a trim. Had no idea the woman wouldn’t know anything about curly hair. Her first cut was short and DEEP. It sprung up. She had to go get a different girl to finish it, and unfortunately we had to cut a bunch back off to blend in that chop.
I have let my hair grow out very long (I can tell when it's wet). I am so scared to cut it, but I would love a round cut. I can't find a soul to cut curls. Also, my hair is SO many levels of curls. My bangs are wavy to curly but the back of my head is tightly coiled! How on earth do we fix it??
When I started taking care of my curls I had just one layer of hair. Like just straight across cut and when I did care for curls it looked triangular lol
The weird thing is that i have grown out layers, but the short parts aren't that curly and the middle curls are barely curly. But the back curls, which are the longest, are perfect ringlet-spiral curls(sometimes they make a tunnel looking curl). Its confusing because since its that longest locks, it should be weighted down but for some reason its not.
Your hair looks great, but the problem I get is that curly stylists automatically seem to think this is the cut I want when it doesn’t suit everyone. The super short layers don’t flatter my face shape and the bottom layer of my hair won’t curl when it’s thinned out that much. I stopped going to curly specialists because they gave me some of the worst haircuts ever. If anyone else is having similar problems this might be why.
It’s fine to ask for a round cut, but first we need to find stylists who know what they’re doing and how to properly do a round cut on curly hair. Suggestions on how to find one?
My curls were dead , I was trying to save them. No matter what I couldn’t, one day my hair really needed a cut but the person I went to had no appointments so my mom cut it ( she has kinda curly/ kinda wavy hair) all of a sudden my curls were back just a little , upgraded my products a bit and now their all good and I relized the person just couldn’t do curls so now I beg my mom to cut my hair
I need a cut BADLY but having a terrible time finding someone reputable. The one I did take a chance on they were unprofessional so I bowed out of it. I know if I could just get my hair cut it would look SO much better than it does right now. I look like I I have a box on my head when my hair is done it's so frustrating.
What type of cut did the girl with long hair in the before and after example get? Not sure what you would call it when asking a stylist and also curious what kind of diy cut would give the most similar results because I'm not sure if I can find someone specializing in curly hair near me.
i got a pixie cut type of style, my hairdresser always ends up cutting it just a little too short, and it always ends up wayyyy too short when the curls come back, any advice for this?
Would this work if I have 2b-ish hair? It’s straight at the top, wavy in the middle, and I have ringlets at the bottom. I want to get a round cut and make my hair maybe shoulder length to get better and more prominent curls, but I don’t know if I would lose my curls or if this wouldn’t look right on meh
I’ve been victimized (over exaggerating) by a hairstylist that didn’t even know how to cut WAVY hair. He insisted that he HAD to flat iron my hair straight before cutting it. I had been keeping my hair away from heat for a long time (after frying it as a teen) and he destroyed all that progress. I don’t think he even used a heat protectant because my hair was visibly damaged after it.
My hair is somewhat straight, long and thick and ive come across numerous stylists who didnt know how to cut it properly! I cant imagine what CURLY girls go through!
I used to get my hair cut like it was straight hair because it worked well enough for me but one time I sat in the chair and the stylist started BRUSHING MY DRY HAIR and then had the AUDACITY to look confused as to why my hair turned into a mess. Like ma'am did you only touch one hair texture before they gave you that license?
I had a haircut so bad one time, I looked like Adam Sandler in The Wedding Singer. It was horrible! And I’d gone to them to fix the cut my stylist (of 2-3 years) messed up. Shoulder length hair, I asked for layers 🤷🏻♀️
I'm having my hair cut soon and idk what cut to do so i searched what to do and i don't want to cut it short at wll bcs I've always wanted my hair long and stuff but EVERYONE says to go short😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
They don’t teach us how to cut curly hair in school. They just teach how to cut hair in general so you have to find that education on your own after. I’m some places it’s hard to find curly haired clients to even learn on. Long story short, it’s hard for us to learn specific techniques right away especially when we’re newer so cut a little slack ❤ I have curly hair but that doesn’t mean I know how to cut for every single curl type especially being a newer stylist. I’ve had to tell people that I don’t think I have the education and experience for their hair and that’s okay.
Yes I was victimized. The part that was the worst is ive known her and been going to her for years. Not only did she not cut it for curly hair she didnt know how to style it. My curly hair journey just started almost a year ago, I have had straight hair for my whole life. The texture gradually started to change. I think a curly cut will help my curls.
Theyy be like oh you don't have to cut your curly hairs it will make your head looks bigger I don't know what stuff they just don't know how to cut your hair
Yeah but no one wants a ball on their head. No one wants to look like a qtip. You are the exception not the rule. The haircut is called round layers or 90degree haircut but do not ask for it you will most likely hate it. If you ask for it its not your hairstylists fault if you hate it.
Could you make a video on different options/things to say for curly cuts? This was soooo helpful!
This!

I cut my own hair now😂😂😂 spent too much $$ on ppl messing it up when I can mess up for free 😂😂😢
What technique do you use???
@@EmiliaMendoza-yb8yu none really. I just cut it dry. Helps to shape it better. Just with a mirror and scissors
Same here ! I'm looking at a rizo cut I've been wanting to do, I've used other techniques by manes by mel and they've been great!
1000%
NO PLEASE. Dont cut it dry.@@ruthinater4322

Oh yes the classic 14 yo triangle cut, where the hair doesn’t even fit in the frame of your school photo 🥲
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I’m growing out my hair, that I realized was curly not just wavy after I cut it all off. Now I know what i need to tell the stylist as it gets longer!
This is why I learned to cut my own hair
Please teach me 🥺🩷

My hair is THICK and down to my butt crack. At the most I get 2 inches cut off because I've yet to find anyone who can actually cut curly hair.

Still looking for the right person to cut mine!
I just recently realized that the front sections of my hair, in front of my ear, always look so good because I layer them when I do my bangs.
Butterfly cut gives a similar effect I think. Then just trim of a few straggling ringlets.
Yes my 4 y/o daughters hair the top kinda lays flat and the bottom / underneath is supper curly
Great suggestions!!❤ Would also love to hear your take on re- training your hair to develop your natural curls.❤
Yes I need this info Anyrhing to help my daughters hair to be super curly instead of frizzy and half flat
Your hair is gorgeous!
Every stylist I've been to just wants to attack me with thinning scissors or do channel cutting to "remove the bulk" 😭
Good info! I think my top layers are not short enough and get a flat spot near the top. Thanks!!
It really depends on the pattern ❤ if you have strong curls then that would be the case :)

My hair being short on top, longer in the middle, and short on the bottom to give a more bubbly fluffy affect agreed with this.
Thank so MUCH!!!
Please i have had issues with this for years! I need more options 🙏🙏🙏😊
This was sooooo helpful!!! Then again you’re always helpful.. Thank you ❤
Perfection!!!

I think your haircut would only work on thick hair, mine is so thin I would lose too much hair with a cut like that! Your hair is AMAZING!
I'm very lucky that my hairdresser knows how to cut curly hair. Been going to her for over 20 years.
It’s fine to ask for a round cut, but first we need to find stylists who know what they’re doing and how to properly do a round cut on curly hair. Suggestions on how to find one?

How do you sleep without ruining the pattern of your curls?? Plss answer
I wish i had those curls❤
What type of cut did the girl with long hair in the before and after example get? Not sure what you would call it when asking a stylist and also curious what kind of diy cut would give the most similar results because I'm not sure if I can find someone specializing in curly hair near me.
Your hair is cuuute ❤❤❤❤
My tops layers curl well but my bottom layers tend to be straighter. So kind of the opposite problem that you’re taking about. Ideas?
Same 😂 3c hair on top, 3b hair on bottom.
Bangs for curly hair
i got a pixie cut type of style, my hairdresser always ends up cutting it just a little too short, and it always ends up wayyyy too short when the curls come back, any advice for this?
I know that scarf! Got one too!
I have 2a-2b wavy hair, could this haircut work on my hair type?
could you still put your hair in a ponytail with the short layers at the top?
Yummy... you have the most gorgeous highlights in your hair ever😮
Would this work if I have 2b-ish hair? It’s straight at the top, wavy in the middle, and I have ringlets at the bottom.

Yes!

Hello there I was 12 and asked for a haircut I’m 13 and it’s still growing out my little mind didnt understand we can’t just get any haircut
Man, I wish. My fine hair would not do well,with a round cut.
Is it possible to get a wolf cut with curly hair?
Can we get scene hair?
I'd raise my hand too😭
Idk what haircut suits my hispanic hair😭
I have a side shave and idk know how to have the rest of my hair shaped for volume
What is you have more of a wavy curly kind of hair?
What shampoo do you use
How long should my hair be to have a round cut or how short can I go 😊

Is this why my hair doesn’t curl on the top and my head looks flat😭
Just had a haircut 😢
okay but i need to know how it looks straight
Me: taking notes
Also me: has pin straight hair
You look lik jayme jo
❤❤❤❤
Me: oh well my hair can't do that
You: did you know it can cause the top layer to curl correctly?
Me: 😮
Theyy be like oh you don't have to cut your curly hairs it will make your head looks bigger I don't know what stuff they just don't know how to cut your hair
Why is the old pic of ur younger self literally my exact hair cut 💀 embarrassing 😭
