What do you feel is the best way to shape & cut curly hair? In curly state, blown out state, or straight? And why? 😊

[@Sharmagne5280]

I use Jeanette Beauty hair cutting tips: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJ7aiKKhgqyZmpY

[@AD-jq7ow]

When you had your hair cut i knew that in a straight/blow out state your hair would be soooo uneven...but everyone was praising your cut so...i didn't want to be the bad mouth... I'm so sad to see you so depresed in that video

[@cbryce9243]

Always, always, ALways, have your hair cut when hairs been straightened. That way it is will be the same length everywhere and you can see the mistakes at the salon, so she can correct it while there and the stylist will have an easier time working with it. You have an amazing head of hair!

[@kettanistar]

Only trim/cut in a blowed out state not curly

[@glennknockaert5837]

Geen idee maar je zou beter tegen der gezegd hebben dat je het ook stijl draagt. Want krullend knippen letten ze natuurlijk niet op hoe het zal zijn als het stijl is

[@babygirlsimone5]

People don't understand that getting your hair cut curly is NOT FOR YOU if you ever ever intend on wearing your hair straight or blown out. Because it will look a mess. Straight hair looks good with clean, symmetrical lines. Since curly cuts randomly clip pieces off asymmetrically depending on how your curls are sitting THAT DAY, it won't translate well to straight hair.

[@malimillani42]

Yessss!!! Omg I was thinking the same thing. I think she might have not mentioned she wears her hair straight as well. I’ve always had a curly cut and my hair looks terrible completely straight 😂

[@jeanninegorden8142]

Some influencers would have scrapped the video! Cutting your hair incorrectly is a real life and relatable thing. Thank you for your transparency.

[@kassandralopez6260]

Really important to know that curly cuts are for women who only wear their hair curly. If you are gonna straighten your hair it will definitely be uneven. You can still get layers cut into your hair but not do a curly cut. Just tell your stylist you wear your hair both straight and curly. The type of layers you want (square, round or long) and some face framing .

[@mrod87]

This. I only believe in dry cuts tbh. Every person I know who wears their hair in both are disappointed with curly cuts.

[@LotusFlowerLife]

Girl, I can't even tell you how awful my last "professional" curl cut was 🤦🏽‍♀️. I cut my own hair now and I am NEVER looking back. Your hair looks so much more even after you cut it yourself 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Omg my last stylist was so terrible. She clearly had no idea how to deal with curly hair and she tried detangling it by starting at the roots and just rip through my hair. And then started ranting about how crazy tangly my hair was and how tenderheaded I was when I was obviously in pain from how she was ripping through my hair. I could literally hear my hair get ripped from the roots.The fact that I have any hair left on my head is a miracle!

[@Shalayah2010]

Love the after result. I'm a sucker for THICK, voluptuous hair.

[@ggirl471]

If you ever cut it yourself again, do it straight, do not DO NOT stretch the hair to cut and never tilt your head. Your hair is very pretty and good luck for the next time you'll get better at it.

[@gabiburns2289]

The thing about curly cuts is that is is meant for people that will always be wearing their hair curly and unfortunately depends on the curl pattern/tightness at the time of the cut. If you want your hair to look good straight you need to get a straight cut and then just spend more time styling when curly. Would you ever consider moving somewhere that has more curly hair care available? Like even the UK?

[@AmberAnsah]

Yes so true, I personally like to wear my hair curly but I flat iron my hair every once in a while. I just want my hair to look good as well when it's straightened. I would most definitely not move out of my country just so I can go to a curly hair salon more often 😂

[@TheTjoy910]

I feel like it's impossible to get a thorough cut when you get curly cuts because you can never trim all of your hair each time you want to trim it for health because there are 100 layers. Which can end up being really damaging in the end because when you get splits they'll just keep splitting because you cant cut all of the layers each time in a curly state. I never straighten my hair but I won't get curly cuts because it ends up looking cute in the beginning and later you realize (at least in my experience) the hair ends up being a hot uneven mess and you have to cut a lot to get the health back. I've had to end up doing a mini big chop after every curly cut I've gotten before I finally realized it wasn't good for my hair.

[@AshPatch07]

That’s not necessarily true, it definitely depends on how well your hair stylist cuts curly hair in general I’ve had two different hair stylists that cut my hair while it was curly and when I straightened my hair it always came out perfect

[@sheamoniquedaniel1824]

exactly.

[@sheamoniquedaniel1824]

@@AshPatch07 it's true what was stated. especially she had a layered cut in the curly state. it makes a complete difference when the hair is straight. and vice versa. unfortunately

[@thebethmethod]

Girl! You had my jaw on the ground! You came through with the finesse!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Great job!!!

[@juliecaron7569]

THAT is exactly what happened to me when I had layered cut from a "curly hair stylist". They cut random "curls" at different heights supposedly to help with the curl pattern. At first it looks ok, but with time, it RUINED my hair and I had to cut almost 14 inches to fix it. You end up with split ends in the different hair layers because they are random layers and not even ones. So the same hair cannot be cut again the next time (because where do the layers end and start?) so it splits, breaks, and then your whole head ends up with split ends. I wish someone had shown me, told me NEVER TO LET ANYONE do that to my head! It took over 8 years to regrow, I've been miserable...Now, I ask for straight across same length in the back, with long layers to frame the face. That's it. I style the hair differently if I get bored with the cut, it is basically the only cut that lets my hair thrive.

[@cfoster6804]

I knew I made a mistake when the stylist finished my daughter's curly cut. 😖 I just wanted to get her rough ends trimmed off. I should've told her to straighten it.

[@Aubreyinlalaland]

Never get curly cuts. They only look good curly and for the first few days. Layers look good with curls and straight hair, but you have to get a dry cut on straight hair. I learned this the hard way after way too many attempts. Lol

[@juliecaron7569]

Same. Well said.

[@jjpetroleum31]

I think the issue with cutting on straight hair is that curly hair shrinks a lot (and we typically have different curl types throughout our head) so its impossible to tell how the cut will look once its back to curly. Curly cuts are good if you wear you hair curly most of the time; straight cuts are better if you prefer to wear your hair straight. I wear my hair curly 99% of the time so it doesnt make sense for me to straighten my hair just to cut it, when my stylist can shape my dry curly hair better

[@IamCynDoll]

I make videos about this all the time, I commented on the video of her cutting your hair saying it would come out like this. You never cut curly hair wet only dry and straight. Curly hair swells when it’s WET and Straight hair swells when it’s DRY. When your hair swells it’s uneven if your hair is curly. You cut naturally STRAIGHT hair WET to get it as even as possible and CURLY hair when DRY & STRAIGHT as possible. The average person has 100,000 follicles on the scalp, each follicle has 1-4 strands . You have about 100k-400k strands on your head. Cutting your hairs wet was the wrong move in my professional opinion as a Cosmetologist for 16 years.

[@annoyedbyyourface]

You should also note that you only cut curly hair straight if the person plans to keep the hair straight. If they keep it curly majority of the time, never cut it while it's straight.

[@IamCynDoll]

@@annoyedbyyourface rather you plan to wear your hair straight or not having your hair cut uneven like this leads to major mechanical damage. Tangling, breakage and more. I’ve been doing this 15 years and I spent most of my time correcting these haircuts from these type of “curly cuts”. Curly cuts are a money grab and a very bad idea long term.❤️

[@jazz-axy9924]

Meanwhile, most of the hair cutting videos on youtube from girls with straight hair is just hacking through a dry ponytail and being shocked it comes out choppy and uneven 😭 I be screaming "Wet your f-ing hair!!" Glad to know that's indeed the right way.

[@thaisonkesak7691]

I’m a stylist and I was defffffffinitely screaming inside, but when you leaned over to the side and started creating that straight line, it really did create that layered effect, so I’m actually satisfied with how it came out.

[@marleyhill34]

I'm not a stylist or a cosmetologist but I've watched enough people cut hair to know the leaning over was not a good idea. I also know about the 90 degree angle from the scalp and that's hard to do on your own head!

[@cfoster6804]

@@marleyhill34 But she made it work so...🤷🏾‍♀️

[@Lavonlloyd4689]

To be honest, I saw it was uneven in the video when you got it cut. I know how it is trying to trust someone with your hair so if they f*ck up it's even worse. However, about fixing it, GIRRRL....YOU DID THAT!!! Great job and it already looks better and healthy!!

[@kristongordon1951]

Having freshly cut hair feels amazing.. you’ll use less products and wash day will be less hectic. It will grow back. Enjoy the shorter hair until it grows back.

[@Oonagh72]

Years ago, like 40, I got layers cut and my stylist said “It’s going to feel uneven but it will work when you style it.” She was right. Drove me nuts but my hair looked good.

[@hemillyribeiro5590]

your stylist did a great job making the size uniform taking into account the different textures you have when your hair is in its natural state. I always use my curly so I prefer a dry cut because each curl shrinks to a different size, but before you cut it she should have explained that when it was straightened it would be completely unformatted so you could have made a more conscious choice about what you prefer 😥 desculpa pelo inglês kkkkk ainda estou aprendendo

[@beatrizm_29]

[@solitairesmith3553]

Oh nooo I did that too. I always have my hair cut when it's straight now. I learned my lesson. But don't worry. Your hair still looks beautiful 😍

[@AmberAnsah]

Thank you ❤️ learned my lesson as well 😁

[@nikkinicole2079]

It's normal that hair is either going to be even while straight or even while Curly but it is NOT going to be even both!! Or am I tripping??? I ask because I'm fairly new to natural hair...but every video on hair cuts for natural hair say the same thing! Especially if you have different Curly patterns in different sections. Thank you for sharing your experience, this really helps me with my view on hair cuts 🥰

[@denyshadials5702]

It can be even for both, but it takes a lot of practice and you have to be willing to be tedious, which most stylists are not when it comes to curly cuts. They want to meet your immediate need and get you in and out.

[@tiahnarodriguez3809]

It is possible for hair to be even both straight and natural, but if you have multiple textures and porosities desiring 100% perfectly even hair may not be a realistic possibility, but it’s still possible to have as close to even hair in both states. This is how my hair is and I’m totally fine with it, especially since I do home trims and cuts.

[@x7557x]

You don't have to worry, cause your hair always grows super fast. Btw, never cut your hair in a curly state.

[@notrend204]

Almost every time I cut my hair myself at home I cut a FEW INches off more than I wanted 😭😫 I can totally relate to this video! I have learned to live with it. I am Not a professional so of course Im just doing the best I can. Once Ive cut it to a point where it looks ok I just leave it there ! Also curly hair is great because you can easily hide a bad haircut 😅 Yours turned out great in the end ❤️ Great advise

giiiiirl, when I tell you Ive done this LOL it hurts the soul! In my case, I didnt fix it lol I was too afraid to, so I just wore protective styles until my next cut. your hair turned out amazing at the end tho!!!

[@TyannetheAwesome]

not only does a curly cut not look the same when straightened, but you've said before that you have several curl patterns, so OF COURSE it's going to look uneven when you do a blowout. don't hate on professionals and stop trusting them - especially when you aren't trained in cutting layered hair. they are there to help you!!!!

[@sheribrionne]

It was uneven curly too and had straggly ends soo yuh she can definitely blame the stylist in the first place. I have different textures and got a cut my ends were not uneven and straggly like that and it looked good both curly and straight it just takes ALOT more time which stylists now a days are to lazy to do .

[@shereeseblackman7871]

A layer cut on curly hair is to be worn curly. You like to wear your hair curly and straight so a layer cut is not the best option. It would have been best if you had someone giving you a trim that can see the back of your head. Sorry it went this way.

[@NikkiGShow]

Damn this was awful to watch. I’m no hairstylist…but sis…. If you get your hair cut while curly the point is to only wear it curly. If you want versatility, you go to a salon that FLAT IRONS your hair after blow drying and then cuts for precision. You just chopping all willy nilly, cutting out your layers made me want to cry. And FYI, the biggest issue is you aren’t taking care of your ends, the previous stylist did what she was asked to do… why are your ends so dry? Condition and wrap those ends Ma… smh 🤦🏾‍♀️. I can’t even finish the video, please go find a precision cutter. 😡

[@AbbyliciouzChannel]

I don’t know who came up with “diva cut”. Layers only makes sense to cut it while your hair is straight.. because only then, its precise. Some people have different curl patterns and lengths.. lol.

[@stephanejohnson5140]

I was told that curly cuts will not be even with a blowout...you will be uneven if you cut straight then go curly ans via versus

[@itzarexx]

Licensed stylist here. From the looks of your hair it looked somewhat even before u cut it… you definitely had a layered cut.. it looked like your stylist mayve pulled everything forward, for long layers.(which is technically wat u did) ur ends were just a bit too thin here and there before the cut, causing it to appear uneven… not to mention u were showing us your hair pushed hair to the front changing the shape of it, vs what it looks like in the back. But yes haircutting is more technical than just grabbing hair and cutting. Its okay boo, it looks good. lesson learned. 🤣🤣😂

[@bethany08able]

I like to blow dry the hair first or do a precision cut on wet hair if the client likes to wear their hair straight and curly. If the client only ever wears curly styles the cut you got is the best option. It just depends on the client and their lifestyle/ how they like it. Your stylist should’ve been clear in the consultation that your hair wouldn’t look good straight. This happens to so many women I’m confused as to why so many stylists don’t do consultations the way they should. How are you gonna do somebody’s hair if you don’t know what they want? And when you’re working on the hair that somebody took years to grow you should be willing to take 10-20 minutes to make sure they get the best results possible.

[@mandyvanhout3791]

Wat ik meegekregen heb uit de krullen kapsalon hier in nederland is, dat als je kiest voor een krullen knip methode dat je dan je haar niet meer stijl kan dragen. Ze knippen namelijk iedere krul apart, iedere krul heeft een eigen krul patroon en daardoor ontstaat ongelijkheid in het haar. Voordat een krullen knip behandeling echt effect heeft is na 3 behandelingen. Dus het voordeel en nadeel van krullenknip behandelingen.. voordeel je krullen worden mooier, compacter etc, nadeel zodra je ze stijl/gestijld door stijltang draagt dan zie je verschillen in lengte.

Check out Hermela here in youtube. She gets layers done while it’s straight and it looks good curly too. Getting your hair cut curly isn’t really good if you like to wear your hair straight or stretched because it’ll always be different lengths cause our textures are different all over. Also it’s hard to keep up with because every strand is a different length and so it’s hard to ensure that all the hair is getting the trim it needs for maintenance

[@Miriam-bq7kg]

Amber, I feel so sorry for you! I can't imagine the shock when you saw, how much you cut of ... Maybe the curly cut wasn't just the best for you, because you like to wear your hair straight, too and not only curly. The curly cut is good, when you always wear your hair curly. Then you can cut it in the shape you like in the CURLY state. And if straightend, it's very possible that it's uneven, especially if you have multiple curl types on your head, which have to be cut different of course, because you want it all to come together in the CURLY state. I cut my hair in layers on my own and I love the shape I got. But I would not want to see it straight right now, I know it would be uneven. Please don't blame the stylist for this, y'all. She did the curly cut with her technique, that's what she offered 🙏🏾

[@animalluver3700]

I just had to ask my friends to convince me not to cut my own bang the other day. I already have one and wanted it shorter but I know I’m not qualified. I get curly cuts a lot and my hair is probably so uneven because my curls have different textures in different spots so they curl up differently

🤭 I mean I support a good trim, but wow..sis.. Edit: oh sweetie 😩 I’m so sorry. To anyone else out there wanting to learn how to trim and shape your own hair- *you can.* BUT you really have to watch and study these different techniques, gauge and understand the amount of shrinkage you have. Finally when you’re experimenting towards a specific goal- 1. Take BEFORE pics 2. Cut too little 3. Style and compare to your Before pics 4. If you can see you’re headed in the right direction, go ahead and cut off the rest OR start troubleshooting.

OMG, why... I feel you #Me trimming my hair and it comes out uneven...somebody call 911... lmao I gonna have a heart attack.

I usually put my hair in twists and then measure it in rows that help keep it even so I don't get lopsided. After I do a wash and go, I might dust the ends if some hang a lil too low.

Amber, it was not your fault. Your hair was already very short at the front and I really love how you cut your hair now. It will look great curly too.🙂
