Curly and wavy hair isn't a problem to be tamed \u2013 it's character to be brought out. You just have to treat it differently from straight hair. Here's how to get the most out of it.<\/em><\/p>\n

Why is curly hair different?<\/h2>\n

A curly hair strand has a flatter cross-section and is more prone to dryness, because the scalp\u2019s natural oils reach the ends less easily. That\u2019s why curly hair often looks more broken or frizzy \u2013 in reality it just needs more moisture and a different technique.<\/p>\n

Cutting: the shape is what matters<\/h2>\n

With curly hair, the cut isn\u2019t about \u201ctrimming off the excess.\u201d Curly hair springs back, growing up and out, so when cutting you have to think ahead about how it will behave after drying. An experienced barber factors in the hair\u2019s natural fall and the spring-back too.<\/p>\n

Curly hair should never be judged while wet. The real shape shows after drying, in the hair\u2019s natural state.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The fade and the skin fade<\/a> work great with curly hair too: the cleaned-up sides give contrast to the texture on top, so the style stays tidy without losing the curly character.<\/p>\n

Washing: less shampoo, more hydration<\/h2>\n
