Cutting curly hair short is about where the curl sits after it dries, not where it hangs wet, so this is usually cut on dry hair, one curl at a time. Weight has to come out of the sides or the shape widens into a triangle, and the crown needs length left in it so it does not sit flat on top. Wash day is a leave-in and a gel cast, scrunched out once fully dry.
- Suitsoval, oblong, heart face shapes. Curl volume sits out to the sides at jaw level, which fills width into a long face and balances a forehead wider than the chin.
- Hair typewavy, curly, coily, thick. It needs a curl pattern defined enough to hold a clump, because loose wave at this length just reads as a fluffy bob with no shape.
- UpkeepA trim every three months, since curl hides a grow-out, but budget twenty minutes of wash-day styling and a refresh spray between washes.
- Ask forAsk for a dry cut on your natural curl pattern to jaw length, with weight removed from the sides and the crown left long.
