Description
Curly hair can be challenging to cut, but with the right techniques, you can add more volume to your hair and save money on salon visits. The key to cutting curly hair is to avoid cutting too much at once and to cut your hair while it is dry. Cutting your hair when it is wet can lead to uneven results.
How To
Before you begin, make sure you have the right tools. You will need a pair of sharp scissors, a wide-tooth comb, hair clips, and a mirror.
Step by Step
- Start by washing your hair and letting it air dry completely. Cutting your hair when it is wet can lead to uneven results.
- Using a wide-tooth comb, comb your hair to remove any tangles or knots.
- Separate your hair into sections and clip each section up using hair clips.
- Starting with the bottom section, take a small section of hair and twist it tightly. Cut off the ends of the twisted section, being careful not to cut too much at once.
- Continue cutting small sections of hair, making sure to cut evenly and not to cut too much at once.
- Once you have finished cutting the bottom section, move on to the middle section and repeat the process.
- Finally, cut the top section of your hair, again taking small sections and cutting evenly.
- After you have finished cutting your hair, shake your head to let your curls fall naturally.
- Use the wide-tooth comb to gently comb through your hair and remove any loose hairs.
- Style your hair as desired.
Tips
