Every time a hairdresser tells me that cutting curly hair is exactly the same as cutting straight hair, I know I’m going to walk out that salon looking like an idiot. Honestly, I never had great looking hair until I started ignoring hairdressers and started cutting my own hair and also stopped styling it the way they told me to.
First,I gotta say I truly enjoy your videos. I firmly believe that any hair technician, no matter what their experience level, must participate in ongoing education. If ever you feel like you've perfected the art of hair then it's time to quit the biz and move on. In my opinion, someone who is true to the art of hair respects all of their peers advice, knowledge, and experiences and comes away with something new or different that they've learned as well as a new respect for that person and their abilities. Thank goodness for our individual srengths and weaknesses. Without them there'd be real problems. With all that being said, I have to say I disagree with a big portion of this information. I have extremely curly, dense, course, hair. It's thinner now that I'm older but I still have more than the average head of hair. I have been in the biz for nearly 30 years and in all that time I've had maybe 10 cuts done by another professional. Unfortunately not one of those cuts were good. That's not saying the technicians weren't good because they were. Had lots of experience in cutting but the majority was on straight to wavy hair. I had the luxury of growing up with nothing but curls in my family. Waves to kink and everything in between . If there were only one thing I could tell you about cutting curly hair it would be that every head of curly is different and will require you to use multiple techniques, tools, and mental vision but the most important thing is listening to that client. A client with curly hair most likely has a horrifying experience (probably experiences) in the salon. If you are truly listening to them they will give you all the information you need to keep from giving them yet another bad experience. While they are unloading all that info really get your fingers in there and become familiar with their curls. You'll never find two people with the same curls, every curly client is unique in itself. If you take the time to listen, are aware and considerate of their fears and concerns and make them feel heard they will begin to relax and be less uptight and intense so that you can be more relaxed and comfortable doing it. Never say never or always in regards to curly hair. I have curly clients that I razor, some with graduated layers some blunt some tease cut some twist cut and just about any other technique you can think of. If you can see the way the curl "flows" you can give an excellent curly cut. If at first you don't succeed try try again. Each time you do a curly cut you will get more comfortable , relaxed and confident in your skills. The most important thing ( speaking as a technician and a curly client )is the communication and execution of what was communicated. One last thing, if someone with curly hair says take an inch always start with a quarter to half inch. Reason being that when curls dry they shrink and BOY DO THEY SHRINK! If I cut half an inch off my hair it looks and feels like I've lost between two and two and a half inches! With curls less is more in regards to how much you remove. Sorry to be so long winded! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! I'd love to see some clipper techniques for both men and women!
I cut my own hair from too many bad experiences with "non-specialists" who claimed they knew how to cut my hair. I can't get behind that tease cutting or any razor on my head, hello frizz central.
I have to agree, no razors, no tease cutting, no taking scissors and running it down my hair...curly hair just cannot be cut the same as straight. I’ve had so many bad experiences.
Yes yes yes! I'm a curly girl and can relate so much. I've got about a 4 in. spring in my curls & so many stylist forget about that when cutting. Love your vids, keep it up!! ❤
I can't let anyone cut my curly hair... not one stylists has stopped to observe the fact that I have varying curl patterns. AND they all insist on cutting it wet???? I've been cutting my own hair for years. Curly hair is not the same as straight hair. Demonstrating on a permed mannequin won't help since a perm creates the exact same curl across the entire head. I'm subscribed though and like a lot of your videos :)
Wow I never really thought about cutting the majority of curly hair vertically. Made total sense!! You should find a model with a thick head of curly hair not tight ringlet curls more of a bigger curl. Most mannequin heads have thin hair and the hair cuts are usually pretty quick. So an actual model that wants a little past shoulder length with a lot of shorter layers for a more round shape and not the mushroom head look would be great. 👍🏼
Thank you for this video. My daughter is biracial and she has very course tight curls in the back of the head and loser softer hair around the rest. We've always struggled with getting a hair cut. What's crazy is most hairstylist that we've encountered would straighten her hair then cut it but it would always turn out uneven once it curled back up. 🤦♀️🤷♀️ lol so we just kinda gave up and she lets it grow and throw it in a bun. But she loves her curly hair and I do too. Thanks again for all you do. God bless
I wouldn't remove or shave under the hair at the bottom. I have curly hair. There is a salon in New York called widad o u i d a d.. they specialize in curly hair and they pick up a curl and they cut part of the ringlet strategically in two places so that the ringlet will lose its volume as it goes down from the top so they carve a slice and carve is what it's called.
Omg yes u helped and answered many questions! Thank u xoxo ! I have a huge head of naturally curly and watching all of your guys’s techniques is beyond helpful ! I have also cut my own hair my entire life and I suck so I always end up with just a trim and long hair ! Loving all of these videos too
Oh my, please don't tease cut curly hair!!! This is soooo wrong!!The frizz the girl would get! Say goodbye to your defined curls… Every hairdresser says that they can cut curly hair. Of course! Everyone can cut curly hair but doing it right is a different thing.. I always say: you ONLY understand curly hair when you have curly hair yourself!
Melody Gelmers I have curly hair and I have my stylist tease cut my hair and it does not frizz it out at all. It actually collapses my shape (( which I love)) and makes my curls curlier.
Cutting the hair from underneath will make curly hair look silly. It should be cut in graduated layers according to the degree of curl. The shortest layers will be on top. This will look great in caucasian or mixed curly hair, afro hair would look poofy with too many layers, but still look silly if the hair is shorter underneath.
A whole lot said about nothing. More about your perm than how to cut curly hair. I usually find your videos informative, but not this one. Much better ones out there on curly hair.
My one stand out question here... You discussed taking out some of the interior to even out the weight and shape of the cut. You specifically mentioned thicker curly hair. I have very fine thin curly hair. Any tips on that? I ALWAYS end up with a beautiful top section, then an ultra thin wimpy weird looking drop off to the end length :-( I'm a bit afraid taking out some of that underneath will make the entire cut look too flat or blunt edged. It's why I don't go get haircuts as often as I'd like. What's the point of spending the money when I have to come home and finish it myself? I've never had one person actually dry cut my hair to finish it like you do. I LOVE that! I just spotted this thumbnail for How to: Beach Blonde Balayage, my hair is VERY similar to that, quite long, same-ish style, but thinner.
hey Matt great video, but just coz u wear dark T-shirt, it becomes difficult to figure out the hair cut process, when the mannequine is in front.. so just thought of sharing :)
If any stylist gets near my hair with thinning shears or texturizers I am running as fast as I can. Curly hair should never be texturized omg. Recipe for disaster.
Absolutely! I could not agree more, and I speak from experience, many a bad experience with some stylist saying he has a special technique that won't frizz my hair. Yeah, right. Wrong!
Having naturally curly hair that I can blow dry straight I have to agree, it’s all about the cut...and the length you want when it’s curly! I haven’t been able to find anyone to give me a good fashionable cut in over 10 years. Help! I just need a cut in a good style. I’m easy, you don’t have blow dry my hair, just cut it so I can see the style that I like, then I know if i straighten it the look is there either way I chose to wear it!
I have very fine curly hair. Every hair under the middle line of the ear is only slightly wavy. So I have to make sure my hair stylist cuts that part of my hair 5 cm shorter. Now I have been to many hairstylists, all of them have said that line you said, every hairstylist is an expert, you do not need to find someone who says they are an expert on curly hair. And ohhh my god how that arrogance has helped the sales of baseball hats. My hair takes ages to grow, so when some "#$"#$" makes my hair look like a frizzy football I consider learning witching and cursing their children. So now, I drive an hour outside my city, cause my hairdresser moved there. Curly hair is different. Very fine curly hair does not have the freedom of short cuts or bangs, it just turns into frizz hell. One should not use a razor on it. One must be extra extra careful in layering it. One should be extra careful when lightening it colour wise So no hairdresser ought to cut curly hair with out guidance and they should always listen to and believe the customer when the customer gives them info. You are fantastic. Hugs
That is very unusual. hair in the nape is usually the curliest. your right though in general it is important to assess where the wave pattern is stronger/looser on different parts of the hair so you can adjust for it.
Hi Matt, love your work am looking forward to seeing a video every day this week, hope you know how appreciative we are for all your efforts. We have many requests in the salon for the long Layered V shaped cut would love to see your take on this as it seems to make some staff a little nervous. Cheers Australia
Where were you when I was in cosmetology school?! 😫 lol love your videos. You just got yourself a new subscriber. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 👏🏽😊
Marissa Perez please never thin out curly hair, it will frizz. And you will get a bad rep. Speaking from experience. Don’t believe me, read the comments from others.
thanks for this video!!! would you please make more videos about curly hair cuts? and also how to cut my curly hair at home... I have a lot of hair, very very curly. thanks and greetings from south of Chile.
Claudia Venegas Yes, I agree. I'm tired of paying $50-$60 for a supposedly trained stylist & leaving unhappy because it seems so many don't know what to do.
Hi, I have thick corse curly hair. Nobody seems to know how to cut it. When they thin it out like you did, it becomes frizzy and looks scraggly on the ends. Not a good look. I like the look of it tapered, with soft curls but never get that look. Is there a different technique to cut hair like mine with out thinning it out with those shears?
I did hair back in the 80's, when texturizing hair first became mainstream. We learned techniques that did not involve thinning shears or a razor. What I do with my hair to give it some movement but keep the weight--which actually helps to control my crazy hair--is to, with dry hair, identify the section that is too thick and comb it out, ready to cut. But I simply cut one notch into the section, no wider than a pencil and maybe an inch into the section from the ends. Just one snip per section to start, and you probably won't need more. This technique leaves enough weight to the ends of the snipped hair to keep it from frizzing and the longer hair farther down the section has a little more room to move but with enough weight left behind to control the hair and keep it from frizzing. For me it works so well! I have shared this technique from the chair with many a stylist but they cannot think outside of the box, sadly. All they know is thinning shears and razors, which take little bits of hair out and leaves me with frizzy, uncontrollable hair. There is a ying and a yang to hair, so why they cannot consider for a moment the merit behind cutting out a chunky section vs wispy sections is beyond me. I will no longer allow my hair to be cut with thinning shears or a razor, or some scissor technique that mimics their effect, and I'm sick and tired of having to texturize my own hair because that is all stylists know. Maybe I'll come across a stylist that is bold enough to try my technique and see how well it works. Any takers?
And needing eight weeks to grow it out, and it happens during the summer months with high humidity so you wear your hair in a ponytail all freaking summer. And you had to pay a stylist to put you in hair hell for the summer. Plus tip.
I have wavy hair, but that perm actually made me want to perm my hair, haha. I have thick, fine hair with curls in some places and waves in others and I feel like my sister who has ringlets covering her head has it way easier than me.
Is there a chemically way to perm bleached hair? I ask because of the damage it can cause. For example, a level 5 brunette wants curly blond hair. Thanks
I am not a stylist but have viewed many of your videos trying to find a cut I can show my stylist to hopefully get my hair cut right. I have naturally loose curl in my hair, tighter in the back and underneath. I wish you would do more cuts on hair that is not straight so us curly-haired gals can see what we will look like. I generally blow mine out straight, but i wish i could find a cut that would work both wavy and straight. And how do i avoid frizz when going curly without weighing down the curl? Also, most of the hair you cut is dark and your clothes generally are as well. This can make it hard to see what you are doing because the hair too closely matches your clothes. Might I suggest you change the color of one or the other? More contrast would make for better visibility. Love your videos. If I we're younger, I would consider learning how to do hair. P.S. Do you actually read the comments?
My 18-year-old son thinks I'm a hairdresser. I'm not. At all. I'm a nurse. I made the mistake of cutting his hair for him a while back and now he won't go to a professional. He has long wavy/curly hair and he's afraid they'll cut it too short. I'm always looking for tutorials to help me. My mom used to be a hairdresser and she taught me the basic, horizontal guide cut. But it looks like the vertical might be better for my son's hair for taking off some bulk. He has very thick hair. I would appreciate any suggestions.
hello and good morning there :) Adrián from uruguay , number one fan of FSE , i watch your vídeos everyday no-skip , i gather tons of yours tips, now that you came to the curls i would love to have a new video , how Can we get an afro look . cutting and styling proces. completamente in love con este canal . besos mil de uruguay
i love watching your video's i think your amazing at cutting hair ,I wish you had a hair salon where i live, because the hair stylist where i live do not know how to cut hair at all . Ever science i started watching your video's i have got ideas for hair cuts and i told the hair stylist i want my hair cut like this and i show one of your hair cut videos and they do it all wrong so now i am
Ya, I'm not with you on this one. While the basic cut shapes are the same, there is much more. My girl has curls under neath but straight on top. I have to shorten the top to allow the curls to shine through so it doesn't look dirty, yet I love face framing and hate bangs... so there's that. I also have better experiences dry cutting her curls piece meal, trying to get them to chuck together in their own natural locks. (NO razor). My mother insists on a disconnected layering in order to allow for curl definition. Defining those curls, defeating frizz, and tracking how the curls vary in tightness from one part of the head to another is HUGE.... and I am no professional.
loved this video, I think I'm in the minority but I learn most effectively when I can see techniques mapped out on a headsheet. All the super sped-up and edited UA-cam videos always seem more ego-driven and useless to actual haircutters!
Hey Matt, I love your videos...you're a great and creative artist ❤❤.. can I request a haircut plz?!!Mid length hair disconnected layered Thank you so much 😊☺
hi i follow your videos i like you to show some more long hair cutting videos, how to cut own hair please show some videos about how to cut own hair at home ,
I especially loved the part where he smothered the mannequin with the bag :-D Then comes back to say "There was no skill involved in that." I learn so much watching this channel! (Sorry, It's 3am and I have a natural sarcasm streak...it's stronger when I'm tired. I mean no offense, I'm just sincerely loving marathoning through these videos. I'm gonna have to rewatch them all before I hog the bathroom with my scissors tomorrow.)
hi i follow your videos i like you to show some more long hair cutting videos, how to cut own hair please show some videos about how to cut own hair at home ,
never texturize curly hair...unless you want to look like you stuck your head in an electric socket BTW curly hair already has texture so why add more and make me look like a frizz ball

I just got my curly hair cut and it really sucked. I got a bob in the front and longer in the back. So it's not the same as strait hair.

Curly hair is different.
Very fine curly hair does not have the freedom of short cuts or bangs, it just turns into frizz hell.
One should not use a razor on it.
One must be extra extra careful in layering it.
One should be extra careful when lightening it colour wise
So no hairdresser ought to cut curly hair with out guidance and they should always listen to and believe the customer when the customer gives them info.
You are fantastic.
Hugs
That is very unusual. hair in the nape is usually the curliest. your right though in general it is important to assess where the wave pattern is stronger/looser on different parts of the hair so you can adjust for it.
i have the exact same hair and i haven’t let anyone cut it in two years because of how fucked up it turns out
this is the scariest part of cosmo for me.. hair cuttting ! lol so excited

Shelley Poole Preach it about razors and thinning! It looks fine when you leave the salon and then it's awful every day after that.

Do you actually read the comments?
My 18-year-old son thinks I'm a hairdresser. I'm not. At all. I'm a nurse. I made the mistake of cutting his hair for him a while back and now he won't go to a professional. He has long wavy/curly hair and he's afraid they'll cut it too short. I'm always looking for tutorials to help me. My mom used to be a hairdresser and she taught me the basic, horizontal guide cut. But it looks like the vertical might be better for my son's hair for taking off some bulk. He has very thick hair. I would appreciate any suggestions.
According to cosmetic chemist Randy Schueller, the top three causes of frizz are genetics, damage, and moisture.
Thanks Matt, cuz those Devacurl haircuts AR $200. What can you do for old lady curly, toddler hair that never looks right?
Would you ever do a break lay cut to remove bulk? I loved your tips plus this was very educational for me.

Ever science i started watching your video's i have got ideas for hair cuts and i told the hair stylist i want my hair cut like this and i show one of your hair cut videos and they do it all wrong so now i am
Your videos are so helpful. Thank you
Ya, I'm not with you on this one. While the basic cut shapes are the same, there is much more. My girl has curls under neath but straight on top. I have to shorten the top to allow the curls to shine through so it doesn't look dirty, yet I love face framing and hate bangs... so there's that. I also have better experiences dry cutting her curls piece meal, trying to get them to chuck together in their own natural locks. (NO razor). My mother insists on a disconnected layering in order to allow for curl definition.
Defining those curls, defeating frizz, and tracking how the curls vary in tightness from one part of the head to another is HUGE.... and I am no professional.
Thank you Matt techniques and your explanation 👍👍
I"m so glad that you debunked the "curly hair specialist" myth! I've been telling people this same thing for years! Thank you for this video :)
Like it ! You're so funny. Fun to watch.
You are simply the best
Nice. Could you please show how to cut Asian men( straight ) hair cut one day. Thanks
HELP!!!! My son lost his curl when someone cut it with thinning shears really short!!!! How can we get them back? He has course thick hair.
Thanks Matt!
I was always afraid to cut curly hair .i didn't quite know what to do , the video was great , you made it easy to understand. Thank you
love your tutorials!
loved this video, I think I'm in the minority but I learn most effectively when I can see techniques mapped out on a headsheet. All the super sped-up and edited UA-cam videos always seem more ego-driven and useless to actual haircutters!
Hey Matt, I love your videos...you're a great and creative artist ❤❤.. can I request a haircut plz?!!Mid length hair disconnected layered Thank you so much 😊☺

Obsessed!!!!
I am no hairdresser, but I thought the impromptu perm you did looked really natural ;-D
Haha thanks! I was shocked that it went that well.
I especially loved the part where he smothered the mannequin with the bag :-D Then comes back to say "There was no skill involved in that." I learn so much watching this channel! (Sorry, It's 3am and I have a natural sarcasm streak...it's stronger when I'm tired. I mean no offense, I'm just sincerely loving marathoning through these videos. I'm gonna have to rewatch them all before I hog the bathroom with my scissors tomorrow.)
I can't believe I watched almost the whole video just to tease curly hair with shears! He's damaging the cuticle creating so much frizz. That's crazy!
thank you very much..
i loved this video!
Most curlies will tell you not to texturize curly hair. Totally destroys the weight of each curl.
If you teach people to tease cut curly hair, you will lose your clients.

would this work the same on ethnic hair
please start from basic hair cutting. i follows your video religiously
Thank you so much! I loved the info about collapsing the hair underneath. Never thought of it like that, but the hair does stack with curls.

Will dry teasing cut at the end work if I straighten the curly hair using a straightening iron?
Saundra Combs nope. Just happened to me. Hair was straightened then thinned and life is now frizzy.
never texturize curly hair...unless you want to look like you stuck your head in an electric socket BTW curly hair already has texture so why add more and make me look like a frizz ball
I get what you did.
I love that you say there isn't a difference between cutting straight and curly hair!! Because there really isn't!!💜💜

Sorry but too much talking and not enough doing in the beginning it got confusing.
