So bc the hair doesn’t fall the same way each time we style, new “inequities” will appear each time when we style. It won’t look the way it did when it was styled and cut in the chair. Different pieces start hanging lower because the longer hairs get regrouped into different curl clumps every wash and style. You think you need another cut and they cycle continues. I’ve always felt that my ends never had that fresh haircut feeling and that detangling wasnt easier after the cut the way I’d hoped…you’re on to something for sure.
Exactly!
"one gel, two gel, three gel....MOUSSE" I'm so done.
Not the hair throwing gang signs!!! ❤️😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
So funny
Yessss 🤣 took me out
It took me 1 curly cut in February to realize they weren’t for me. My next wash day after the cut/style I realized how ‘choppy’ and the huge difference in lengths. I had to pull out my shears and fix a ‘professional’ and overpriced cut.
This is so true, I got my first tight curly cut in march and within the first week of detangling my hair, I was surprised to find that my hair was behaving like it was in need of a trim. It was due to exactly what you're describing. There was so much snagging and popping. There were a ton of little broken hairs all over my bathroom. Prior to my cut I was trimming myself and had grown my hair below boob length. I wasn't even in need of a trim when I got the cut. I just wanted a shape. I was afraid of losing length, but I just kept telling myself to look forward to having freshly cut ends after the cut. I just knew my hair growth would take off like a rocket afterward, Long story short, by the end of the first week I trimmed all of the stragly ends and I haven't had trouble detangling since. I will not be getting another curly cut. Im going to keep up my bang, because they're in my eyes now, but I will not be getting a full cut again. My hair has seemingly recovered from the inconsistent lengths and I am no longer experiencing breakage, but Im definitely side eying myself for making this choice.
Don't side eye yourself. It was a learning experience and we all go thru them
@@AfrikanHairGod Very true, the shape was shaping, but I had survived every other damaging nautural hair trend prior to this, so it certainly feels like I allowed myself to be got lbvs. Thanks for the kind words hun.
Sounds like you need a new stylist.
If you don't want to cut your bangs after it's grown out, just push it back, pin it, and then pull it forward to the length that you want Your bang to be. You don't have to cut it.
@@anvetaflowers7808 oh no, I like my bang. That was the only part I should have cut. I love wearing a curly bang, its a hit. 10 out of 10 would recommend
BGC better save face from now and admit that they need to revise some of their methods. With all of these issues coming to light. Pride cometh before a fall.
I think I'm going live tonight to talk about just that...
There's nothing wrong with them saying they may have to go back to the drawing board to refine a few of their methods...instead of being soo combative and dismissive all the time
Then stylist want to change 300$ for a curly cut
This is why I just use Blue Magic and keep it moving fun-shade🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
I got regular curly cuts for 3 years. I wash weekly, always use the same products, and never seemed to retain any length. I told my stylist that my goal was to grow my hair out, and she was cool with that. I know my hair; my hair grows because, genetics. I finally got fed up with this long taper that never seemed to grow, so I fired my stylist and started back doing my own hair. When I blew my hair out to trim it I couldn’t believe the splits. I have NEVER had splits like that in my LIFE. I used the previous shape as a sort of guide and did a good job. I haven’t seen this much hair growth in 3+ years. It’s not us, the consumer, it’s the curly cuts. I’ll probably never get another one again.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience... I think it's definitely the stylists that are at fault because they aren't addressing your concerns, your damage, or taking any accountability
I was gonna hold off on reacting to bgc but I think at this point it's necessary....
I have long hair so it took me FOREVER to grow out the varying lengths from the curly cut! My hair has been SO much healthier and easier to maintain being all one length now
It took about a year alone just to grow out the lengths and to have one length again. So now I’m actively growing my hair out longer all in one piece so it seems to be growing faster now
Never had split ends in your life??
That is a natural process of hair.
You mentioned in one of your other live streams on this curly cut topic that you would shape the hair in its blown out state and then go in a refine the shape in its curly state to handle any unevenness due to differing shrinkage rates for those of us with several patterns. I believe this is the route I will take. Ive seen enough evidence from you rosie and shelly and my own limited experience to stop with curly cuts for trims before i must big chop again. Thank you so much for addressing this!
I started giving BGCs the sideeye when they said you don't need to blow out hair to trim it because their method would get all the splits and breakage. Aisha was insistent that you can see everything with the hair in its curly state. She is extremely nasty to people on their social media pages. My stylist cuts curly hair all day ro perfection and always blows hair out to ensure she can see what is going on with hair. She doesn't chop hair up and the shape is perfect when wash n gos or other styles. Even if i get a slik press it looks like beautiful layers. The co-owner of BGCs hair looks awful too. She tries to claim that its just that she just has coarse hair but it appears to be more going on than that.
Ohhhhh how do wish that you here. I'm sending love and appreciation to you. From my island Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹. I have been following for years. Never missing any of your posts. Sending all my ❤❤❤
I’m so glad this is still a topic of discussion because people need to be made aware so they can make an informed decision. We are definitely on to something that many do not want exposed. However, I’m seeing the more and more we talk about it the more people are going and getting their ends assessed and floored at how bad they are after getting curly cuts! I’m also starting to question the extreme hooded dryer use and lack of leave-ins. My hair got so dried out from not using a leave in or periodically deep conditioning. This is all while using humectant based gels. So my new question is: Can the hair get damaged by chronically sitting underneath a hooded dryer if it’s not moisturized and dry as a desert??? I personally think in that scenario it quite possibly could. 🤷🏽♀️ Once again, awesome video and content. Thank you for continuing to speak on all of this! 💖💯
I really think it’s the lack of deep conditioning too coupled with the ends not being addressed!! I’m about to break out my leave in and do a social experiment!!
@@ebonypainter9274 Yup and I’m right there with you Sis! My hair looks and feels so much better with the deep conditioning treatments I’ve been doing and especially using a leave in. Narada suggested one for me. He’s truly a Godsend! 💖🙌🏽
I kept up my deep conditioning after getting curly cuts. I have been natural over 20 years so I already knew what my hair likes and can tolerate before getting curl cuts 3 years ago. The only advice I’ve taken from the curly cut folks is styling gels and using a diffuser instead of air drying. My sets lasted a week anyway before going to a curl artist. I think since I didn’t stop using my coconut oil, deep conditioner, and leave in, my hair didn’t get damaged.
@@ArethaRenee You’re so lucky! I’m glad you used your own mind and continued to do what you knew was best for your own hair. I wish I had done the same Sis! 😅
I also regret dumping my leave ins- the constant hooded dryer without any protection underneath long term has gotta impact our hair somehow...im starting to reconsider lots of things...
For now i have brought back regular deep conditioners into my routine
The expectation is that a curly cut would catch all the splits especially since BGC says all you need is a curly cut if you wear ya hair 85% curly of the time, and that it's possible to get "healthy hair" and length retention when you follow through with the program, nothing was lost in translation there, its all over their page
As a consumer, I would expect my stylist to catch split's especially when im throwing all em dollars at her.....
You are absolutely correct, I have experienced this. Im slowly trying to even out my hair.
You pulled out all the receipts with Miss Yvette’s hair!😂❤❤
thank you for always providing knowledge above all else. i only live 4 hours away, can't wait to sit in your chair!
I got a curly cut for three years. I started it bc I was trying to cut out damage from a Dominican salon. It help see the damage and cut it out over time bc I couldn’t do a big chop. But I agree that the cut thins your hair out so bad and creates all the issues you mentioned. When I would blow it out once a year it seemed like my hair was growing but it was so thing at the bottom and poofy at the top (think mullet/emo hair). I ended up having to chop all my hair to below the chin to even it out and I still had parts that needed to grow out. I now warn everyone of you care about healthy hair run run away. Your hair might look like it’s growing but only the bottom layer is nothing else is if you want to maintain the shape.
lol@people with Afro hair wanting no frizz...
I dont know if you missed it yesterday, but if you watched towards the end of the manes by mel video on straight vs curly cuts, she straighted both sides after the cut and compared them. You saw more flickybits with the curly cut side which she called "more texture"
Not white ppl used to messing up their hair😂😂😂 facts though
Curly cut is what made me find this channel and learn the RIGHT way to take care of natural hair.
After a big chop, I had grown out my hair for over a year and a half. It was time for a trim, so I “trimmed” my hair curly, and it was even harder to care for after I did so. I had never seen so much breakage, and I felt so defeated. After learning so much from you and green beauty, this livestream serves as a full circle event for me, and it confirms exactly what I had been doing wrong for so many years.
Edit: “like Velcro” YES! EXACTLY!!
You’ve opened my eyes when it comes to curly hair. Is it ok to wet cut curly hair stretched?
Yes if it can handle being combed and brushed constantly to smooth out the hair.

I have a few areas of relaxed/permed hair still in my head after my almost year long natural growth… I will be going to a professional to cut out the straight/processed hair soon & continue to grow my beautiful fro… what is your opinion..?🤔
I watch curly cuts on a binge so satisfying. But I wouldn’t do it on myself 🙈
I heard you mention hard water damage. Can you talk about that a little more on a video because I have that and I'm ready to either cut it off or relax it 😭😭😭

Here is the video!
@@AfrikanHairGod Thanks! 😊
Water filter and chelating/clarifying shampoo for sure. My water is soft but when I stay at the house in Pennsylvania my hair is a mess within a week because of all that’s in that water. Then it takes a few hair washes to undo when I come back.
I’m so perplexed by this. I haven’t had a curly cut. It seems like I’ve noticed quite a few folks complaining about issues after getting one. Hmmm I’m goood.
The wash n go was so cute!
Thanks for the information and the laughs😂, very precise
Flickey bits….I’m dead ☠️
I’m about to blow mine out and cut it. I curly cut my hair but it’s almost webbing but only on the ends. I don’t see split ends. I don’t see breakage. I see single strand knots sometimes. I use vO5 shampoo and conditioner. I wash weekly. I wear an afro 99% of the time. I have tightly coiled hair. I thought I was doing right by my hair by avoiding heat but I see maybe not when it comes to cutting.Thank you for this video.
Binging your videos…🫶🏾oh and subscribed as well…but yeah I’m at the point now where I believe the only way to see my ends forreal is to blow it out too! I’ve tried curly cuts and I’m not 100% sold now…and that was before even running up on your content…. The shape be shaping but at what expense. …
Here is a live stream of a full service from start to finish of me creating shape and doing a wash n go on my client with a blowout ua-cam.com/users/liveXbg3lQwvC-Y?feature=share
@@AfrikanHairGod thanks. I’ll take a look!💕
Its definitely genetics. I thought my hair was damaged all my adult life. One side will act right and the other will act like a stepchild. I had to accept that no aproghee 2 step or vitamin will fix it. Its just my curl pattern. And I also inherited pattern baldness. My edges are thinning year after year
Not that genetics doesn’t play a part, but I would have to disagree. Because of my family, I thought this my whole entire life until I started getting serious about learning my natural hair. The 3 things that damaged my hair the most were 1) not knowing how to brush/detangle my hair, 2) letting it shrink on itself, and 3) cutting it curly
I don't think its the gels i think its the cuts cause i use those gels but i haven't got the cut and my ends are good
Idk, that Taliah Waajid curling cream dried my hair out horribly. It took a minute to get my moisture balance back. Im sure that product didn't help her situation at all. I totally agree with his diagnosis concerning her cut.
Instead of blowing out can our hair just be twisted then combed out then dried?
i decided to watch this video too. I think the issue is tht the curly cuts aren't designed to address split ends, and are basically a "hairstyle" or a cut for asethethic reasons. Since ppl pay lots of $$ for them, they don't get them that often. And they believe that they're split ends are being taken care of since they are technically getting it "cut". So as a result, I think they are having the same issues anyone would if they didn't maintain their ends over a long time period - tangles, breakage, their styles not looking as good/even, etc. There seems to be an issue n disconnect between the stylists n the consumers n the service they think they are getting (a comprehensive hair cut, focusing on style n health) vs. the service they are actually getting (a cut designed to make the hair look good).
So I find that that is not the case. Many of the curly cut clients are EXTREMELY consistent often getting their hair cut at least 4x a year. They are more consistent than the average natural because they usually aren't even getting hair addition styles. While I don't think that curly cuts address damage specifically, with them cutting so frequently, one would expect that there would be very minimal damage. Many curly stylists have reinforced that their curly cuts do address so damage including split ends. You have to really listen to all the different perspectives from clients to stylists. It's a lot to take in but I've been doing my research on all of this for years
@@AfrikanHairGod really? well thts interesting to hear. thanks for sharing
14:56, Imaginary hair flip.😂😂
Mechanical damage is a bear. Also I think the client is one of those that thinks they have one texture, but has another.
My little cousin gets curly cuts and tries telling her that it’s not the best. But she has had heat damage and now she’s afraid of any heat including a blow out to trim her ends. She asked me some time ago to help her with products and I don’t know if she’s been consistent
That was hair porn. Please share more on curl training.
at 22:27 , where you pointed out gel, I feel like the gels they use should be pretty moisturizing (most of the gels i see them promote have lots of humectants, with a smaller % of oils in the formulation). does leave in really make that much of a difference? (I prefer having a leave in myself, but I always assumed that they may have basically "replaced" leave ins for botanical gels so they can get moisture and product hold) 🤔
Spritz has water and it's still one of the most drying and worst products for moisture. I agree with you but product formulations have so much depth to them. I question anything that dries firm and restricts hair movement. They are often cocktailing moisture gels with the firmer and drier ones.
@@AfrikanHairGod I see, thank you!
I get rod sets on my natural hair and trims when needed, usually 3x annually. Is that considered a curly cut?
No curly cuts are when your ends are cut in a wash n go
