Are Curly Cuts Damaging? | My Experience with Curly Cuts

[@itstruedestiny]

Yesterday, Black Girl Curls & Cut It Kinky announced that they are getting an amicable divorce. Aishia will continue as the CEO + Marketing Maven of Black Girl Curls. Aeleise will go on to be the Creative Director + CEO of Cut It Kinky.They are still great friends, passionate co-founders, and committed to y'all living your best curl lives. The stylist directory will no longer be on BGC website. More details to come.

[@esthertjones]

They said they've been working toward this for about a year now, but the language, timing, and informal manner of the announcement is . . . interesting.

[@potterylady44]

Yes and Aeleise is starting up CIK in Europe as well.

I had been getting curly cuts for over 3 years. I told my stylist that I wanted to retain length and grow my hair out. She was all for it, and she never indicated that it would be difficult or that it was unrealistic. My hair grows really fast, so I was more than ready for this journey. I first noticed splits 2 years ago when I got blown out for a color service. I didn’t think much of it, since I was also getting a maintenance cut. Last year I stopped going to my stylist because after a color service (which wasn’t the color I asked for) I left the salon with chemical burns around my hairline and on my face. After not retaining any length for 3 years and that shoddy color service I was DONE. Months later I blew out my own hair to trim it and it was full of splits. I grew up in the salon and don’t have the blind spots with styling and hair care that most lay people do. I did nothing wrong. My products and practices were and are still top notch. For people to imply that maybe we, the consumers, are at fault instead of leaving open the possibility that it may be the stylist or their method is just plain silly. It offends me.

[@itstruedestiny]

Thanks for sharing your experience! Do you think it had more to do with the cutting technique and color service or the cuts itself?

[@Marcie_does_it]

@@itstruedestiny Definitely the cutting technique. The damage came before the color.

[@shelly.v.247]

I just want to say thank you so very much for your well balanced video! I feel you hit upon several important points because something is severely wrong with what’s happening. Today, I’ve already chatted with 2 two women about the condition of their hair. They are upset and frustrated because they too have followed everything recommended (curly cuts, no need for DC & leave m-ins) to us. I truly appreciate your thoughts and perspective on this. As well as your experiences and being honest about your haircuts etc. Lastly, thank you for highlighting that Rosie and I have nothing to gain by sharing a “negative” aspect of our curl journey’s. We actually have everything to lose because it can affect us negatively as content creators. So therefore, why would we lie about any of this??? 😑 Thank you again. I have mad respect for you Sis!!! ♥️💯

[@ossier2796]

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. It’s always good to see others experience with cuts and products. Although it’s not everyone’s experience but something to look out for. 😊

[@itstruedestiny]

Seriously! I believed y’all full heartedly especially as a content creator. No one makes something like this up. This is truly unimaginable. It saddened me to see the blacklash that y’all faced because of sharing y’all story. I’m in the middle of watching your live with Jenn. Thank you for continuing to share your experience. Keep doing you. I’m always here to support!

[@NickiAlexia]

This whole discussion is so interesting. I’m 41 years old and have been getting curly cuts For YEARS and never heard of this cut it kinky no dc no oils methodology until maybe 2 months ago. My stylist charges me what he’s been charging for years and I’ve never had problems with my hair related to the cuts. I did go through two years of problems with heavy shedding related to c19 and in that period I lost a ton of hair. I think that too many people entered the curly natural hair market trying to develop methods based off of little experience with natural curls as the foundation. Curly hair stylist have been around forever but not so much in our community. Natural hair yes…but stylist that specialize in natural curl patterns were not found so easily. They were primarily in major cities and not as prevalent. Now there’s this boom of them charging 3-400 for a cut! Then when you ask about experience it’s 5 years or less doing actual curls. I think a lot of this is the issue. There is no one size fits all set or instructions for curly hair especially when many of us have 3-4 different curl patterns on our heads alone lol. People Got so eager to coin a method they didn’t take the time to just absorb knowledge and actually learn the hair

[@itstruedestiny]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience especially as someone getting curly cuts for years before this big boom happened related to curly cuts and natural hair. There is no one size fits all for sure and I think a lot of people are starting to realize that now.

[@larynadams1127]

I find the "no oils " method such a weird choice when combined with the other principles these stylist follow. They're asking for you to come in ever 3 months to cut your hair in a state where you can't fully see all the dead ends, while also styling your hair in a way where your ends are unprotected and needs daily maintenance to keep from matting, and you can't use oils or butters????? It just sounds like a recipe for disaster. Split ends and fairy knots galore. 🙃

[@tiffanydaneen]

Yes please get your hair at least blown out and cut; curly hair hides so much

[@itstruedestiny]

I have my appointment at the end of the month! We shall see 👀

[@rosieamelia5955]

I was blocked as well! This was truly a learning experience for me personally! I have seen firsthand how cruel the internet can be and how unkind humans can be to others because they may not share the same experiences as others! Lastly I finally understood what has been happening, so the reason I didn’t investigate why my hair was webbing is because it had become normalized in the community we follow! I was shocked when it was happening because I had never had that experience! I was getting regular cuts but my hair was becoming more difficult each time to detangle! Another thing is I found a few tree split ends and that got me very concerned but again I wasn’t thinking my hair would have my ends and hair looking like that! Also my silk press stylist did something she had never done and that’s giving me a deep conditioner, she must have felt something when shampooing my hair! One advise I can give is to just keep an eye on your hair and pay attention to how it behaves! Proper shampoo is very important , making sure the hair receives the proper moisture after shampooing is also important, for some a regular rinse out will deliver but for others it may not be enough! So far most influencers that share this method publicly have been very upset with Shelly and I, however they have implemented all the things that we mentioned that has corrected or is helping the issues we are having! I honestly believe you should only be concerned if you are having webbing, difficulty detangling or Velcro ends, if you are not having these issues you’re hair is possible okay!

[@AP-kf3xs]

Your hair is damaged by the method because you are liters breaking down your cuticle layer over time with the excess water. This is why is take 6moths+for some ladies for the process to begin “working”. What is truly happening is that the cuticle layer is being broken down with excessive washing and humectant use over time. The porosity is becoming higher. It’s all good for a while until the porosity becomes so high that you begin seeing splits. This is why there is a lack of length retention and why the split travel the entire strand

[@dimensionsbygina]

​@AP-kf3xs Great information. I understand the water aspect of it but can you explain how humectants wear down the cuticles? Say I don't do wash n gos but use humectant based products will it cause the same damage?

[@NAIKOchan17]

​@@AP-kf3xs I have never heard this take before. Can you go into more detail. Especially since some people who adopted this method are still washing their hair once a week which I don't know if that would count as excessive or not. It would be interesting to here more specifics or where you found this info from to look further into. Thanks!

[@esthertjones]

@@AP-kf3xs This makes a lot of sense. Plus the setting of the hair with the dryer immediately after trapping all that water in there might be negatively affecting the hair too and inadvertently causing hygral fatigue. I think it's an okay method on occasion when you want a specific look, but it's not particularly suited for longterm haircare, especially for long hair (vs short cuts)

[@forebidden]

@@NAIKOchan17washing hair once a week is fine but all that cleansing and all that water with no leave in, oil/butter, etc. will weaken hair over time and this is constantly seen in scientific studies regarding hair preservation

[@1GoldenBreeze]

I have no idea what is causing some ladies who are in the BGC community to have damaged hair while others do not have the same damage. What I will say is that no one should be put down or ridiculed because they experience issues with their hair while following the method. To me, the fact that these ladies were blocked seems like a missed opportunity for BGC to investigate the possibility and offer some assistance to Rosie and Shelly especially since they are not the only two ladies having the experience.

[@LoXena]

The same reason plastic surgery works for some people and fail for others. Not everything is for everyone.

[@itstruedestiny]

It really seems like a missed opportunity and it doesn’t sit right for me at all. However they are doing damage control and slowly starting to address the issues on social now. It should have been addressed or even just acknowledged from the beginning.

[@1love847]

The first time I saw the experts hair I wasn't impressed. I couldn't belive these were the women pple were even listening to. Anyway, it's a journey. And we all have gotten caught up in fads and things that didn't work and had to let them go due to damage. Live and learn!

[@1GoldenBreeze]

@@1love847 There really isn't much wrong with the method it's simply cleanse, condition, and style. The problem for some ladies seems to be a combination of the curly cut and not using leave-in or a dc. Even with that many ladies are not having an issue. Personally, I became interested in them because I've never used raw oil or butter in my hair and I wear wash-n-go almost all the time. So for me, it was basically what I was already doing. I wasn't interested in curly cuts because I didn't want my hair short and angled even though it was cute, and I kept using leave-in and dc a couple times a year. I did however find the information about shampoo helpful and incorporated it into my routine.

[@joybanks4974]

I stopped getting curly cuts. My stylist blow-dries my hair (no flat iron), then cuts. My hair has fewer split ends now. Also, I can go longer between cuts.

[@itstruedestiny]

That’s nice! How often do you get it cut now?

[@joybanks4974]

@@itstruedestiny Once a quarter.

[@jennierandomz]

Yes curly cuts are for shape but not for growing hair. Plus there are instances where they don't cut every strand and it leads to not getting all split ends. Also a lot of people say it look good the day of the cut but not always after. And most of the time hair is uneven and your not able to blow dry it straight if you want.

[@itstruedestiny]

Yes the hair is bound to be a little of uneven because of the shape. However, I wonder there are more split ends than usual because of the technique. I will say my last two stylists were wayyyy more in depth with their curly cut technique where they went row by row of hair rather than grabbing chunks of hair like the first two stylists. I feel like that played a major role in how my hair looks and feels as well as how it grew out from those cuts.

[@ossier2796]

My first curly cut was 2018 (Deva cut) she’s a Cut it Kinky stylist and is still my stylist. Everyone’s hair is so different so there’s no way that every process will work for everyone. I say whatever works for your hair is a good thing. If hair grease works then use it.

[@lynnellscott9079]

I think that BGCs ignores porosity. We high porosity coilies need a leave-in, and deep conditioning. I just wonder if the difference is the porosity of the client’s hair, and not just the cut.

[@itstruedestiny]

I always viewed leave ins and deep conditioning as optional, but yes, some people definitely can benefit from these steps. Porosity being a factor is never something BGC addresses. I wonder if it plays a role. I know certain recommends these steps based on their client’s hair condition especially when it’s colored.

[@lynnellscott9079]

@@itstruedestiny Other channels are stating clients with damaged hair had severe splitting all the way up the shaft due to excessive dryness. High porosity hair needs special attention, and 7 days without washing is too long for me, and not using a leave in as a buffer between the gel is a definite no. I know BGCs don't believe porosity matters, but I believe it should be considered in why the damage is happening to certain customers.

[@MoniMeka]

I hate deep conditioners. They are too thick and have lots of oil in them. They don't froth up and regular conditioners. They should froth up when you add lots of water so you can detangle. I think they are for chemically treated hair.

[@lynnellscott9079]

@@MoniMeka The only conditioner I've used that frothed was Giovanni's leave-in.

Weird how it took another professional not even remotely affiliated to BGC to back and help these BLACK ladies feel safe enough to be vocal about their issues....... consumers are definitely watching 😊

[@itstruedestiny]

They were very local sharing their stories before the professional got into the mix to follow up and amplify what they were saying. It was a shame that some did not believe them until a professional suggested there was more to the story. I believed Shelley and Rosie before I even heard anything about the stylist and I hope more people feel safe to share their experience. I agree. The consumers are watching and I need more professionals to speak on the issue.

[@ossier2796]

My stylist only does curly cuts and we’ve discussed all of these issues. She used to cut my hair dry but now cuts it wet with a conditioner and my hair looks great and I love it. I’m not interested in super long hair and I never wear it straight so I’m good.

[@itstruedestiny]

That’s for sharing your experience. I’m glad you were able to talk it out with your stylist.

[@Deidreforever]

I didn't know all this was going on! I had heard chatter, but I definitely thought the same for a little bit. That all my splits ends weren't getting addressed with my 1st stylist. With my 2nd, baby, she cut everything and gave me a great shape. I guess it really is about who you go to, in some cases. Thanks for sharing your opinion!

[@itstruedestiny]

Thanks for sharing!! At the end of the day, it really just depends on who you go to and how they cut.

[@Listen2me400]

I agree. Some stylist are attentive to your hair health others are looking for a coin.

[@Leshasocurly]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I was really curious about hearing your take & what happened to these women. In the past, I stopped getting curly cuts because my hair doesn’t grow at the rate that they cut. I feel stylists chop it so drastically & getting it cut every 3-4 months (like suggested) is unrealistic if you want growth. I recently decided again to try to find curl stylists that listen to my hair needs. I DO enjoy the shape I get from curly cuts. I see a difference in the elasticity, but getting my hair consistently chopped to see no growth is scary lol. This video is inspiring me to document the process of curly cutting to see if I notice a difference in the overall health of my hair!

[@itstruedestiny]

Thank you for sharing your experience. It is definitely hard to see growth when they need to cut into healthy hair to make a shape. Ideally I think the sweet spot for my hair and my budget is two to three times a year. Around the three month mark I do notice more of snag in my hair when detangling and breakage in the shower. That’s a key indicator that I’m in need of a trim but I do try to stretch it sometimes lol.

[@Listen2me400]

Just goes to show not everything is for everybody. What works for you may not work for me. I was never hooked on raw oils and butters but I used and still use leave ins and deep conditioners in rotation. Five years ago I got a curly cut and followed up last year with a second one. I clip my ends when twisted and have learned to blow dry and clip my ends from time to time. Even when I had a relaxer I didn’t clip my ends as much as people say you should. I did it when I felt it was needed. Saying this to say it’s up to us to assess the needs of our own hair. You can take advice from a stylist but if you don’t see them weekly or even monthly, it’s you who is taking care of your hair and you have to make adjustments if necessary. So sorry this happened to these ladies and I hope whatever tweaks are needed will be made for all involved.

[@itstruedestiny]

Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s so important to be able to decipher information for yourself and have a good understanding of your hair beyond hair appointments.

[@ossier2796]

I know that I don’t have tangling and webbing but I don’t plan on wearing my hair straight so I don’t mind curly cuts. Love my shape. I’m wondering if women with type 1-3 are experiencing the same issues with curly cuts.

[@itstruedestiny]

That’s a very interesting question. I’m curious if folks with looser curls are having this issue

[@ammabu]

I’ve been getting curly cuts for 2 years. My retention has been slow but my I have never had long hair so that may be just how my genetics are. I have noticed some major splits that I noticed soon after my last curly cut. I am trying to narrow down if it’s the cut, if I should reintroduce leave in conditioner, or if I am too rough with my FL brush or perhaps I need something that is gentler with detangling on my fine strands. My haircare routine is simpler but I think the mystery of my hair still continues…

[@itstruedestiny]

Thanks for sharing your experience! Wishing you good luck on your journey to getting to the bottom of it. I immediately knew it was something wrong after my cut was done the next wash day when I visited that one stylist that didn’t get all my ends. I didn’t have any issues (that I know of) after changing the salon I went to.

[@mrparts]

Don’t get a dry cut in curled state if your main focus and interest is to trim damaged ends.

[@itstruedestiny]

Thanks for sharing

[@kinematics7092]

I'm still watching through this, but I've been getting curly cuts for about 3 years now (every 3 months) and I have nearly no issues; however, I'll caveat this with a few things. 1. My hair is somewhat long, it's about neck length in curly state. I reached this length about a year and a half ago. I'm not interested in growing my hair beyond this length 2. I have coarse surface texture, dense, fine hair. 3. My hair grows incredibly fast. When getting my curly cuts, I usually have somewhere close to an inch cut off and more in some areas (like the back). I usually tell my stylist to cut what you need to (in the case of split ends). My stylist allows you to go 4 months between cuts, but in my experience, that's where I have issues with single strand knots and I usually grow a pretty bad mullet by that time, so I opt for 3 months and sometimes it's closer to 2.5/2.75 months just because my hair looks its best after the cut.

[@kinematics7092]

Alright, I finished. I need to watch the other videos you linked, so that's not going to be in this; however, I think your edit clip explains it pretty well. The issue is, there isn't a set standard or measure in quality. This isn't necessarily the fault of BGC. They can provide the education and the fundamentals, but the way people apply and extrapolate is based on what they think is best. For example, consider college students. Student A studies diligently and makes straight A's. Student B parties sometimes but still makes A's and B's. Student C doesn't show up to class and does the bare minimum to get a C in all classes. All of these students pass and get their degree, but the difference in performance between Student A and Student C or Student B and Student C is going to be drastically different. That's likely what we're encountering here. Does this mean the university is at fault for Student C being allowed to pass? Maybe, but often schools leave the vetting to the employers (or to remove the analogy, we're left to vet our stylists by their work and how they treat us). I'll watch the other videos to further inform my opinion, but this is exactly what I thought was going to happen from the premise in your video. EDIT: I've now watched the other videos and they've unfortunately put a bad perspective on the situation for me. I feel bad for the individuals involved, but it feels like things are getting lost in the messaging.

[@ossier2796]

I too haven’t had issues and I’ve been getting curly cuts since 2018 when I was getting Deva cuts.

[@itstruedestiny]

Yes, this is my belief as well. There is no standard. However we were thought to believe there was a standard involved. That might be on me for assuming as a consumer but I would think if you had the CIK certification (which the directory longer exists on the website and level of ongoing education the stylist has achieved is no longer considered suffice according to them) you would be sufficient enough especially with how much some stylist are charging for these specialized cuts. I think regardless of what education they have you need to be vetting your stylist before they take shears to your head. There is no set standard. I hope they revaluate in the near future to get to the bottom of what is happening and how to prevent it so no one else has this experience.

[@oliviamanning-richardson6677]

I’m not sure what to believe. But I think I need to take the good with the bad. I know the products and washing weekly helped with my overall hair health…but I recently had my hair blown out and about 3 inches were cut off...should that be the case if I had a curly cut 4 months prior? 🤷🏾‍♀️ Maybe alternating like you mentioned can help.

[@itstruedestiny]

If you decide to go the route of alternating between the two, please report back. I’m interested in hearing how it goes.

[@potterylady44]

I don't see why anyone would want to alternate back and forth between straight cut curly cut straight cut curly cut. Seems like this would be alot of stress to the hair. Then curly cuts have levels so then you blow that out then you see layers and like omgggg my hair is not even! Then you get that cut straight and have to cut lots off to even out the bottom layer with the top hair layers. It's all too much 😅😅 lolol. Maybe just good stick to getting it cut straight or getting cut curly. Cause jumping back and forth seems like overkill. But hey this is just another friendly perspective to look at.

[@ayannagb8587]

Just a question….Do you think switching products every wash day can cause the issues? A lot of people on the internet review everything that comes out. I’ve found products that work for my hair, stick to them, get curly cuts every 3 -4 months, and don’t have any issues. Maybe it’s my hair because I also didn’t have growth or major split end issues when relaxed. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@itstruedestiny]

Any experimentation can increase the likelihood of damage. Content creation has definitely taken a toll on my hair at times so I wouldn’t say it’s out of the question. I don’t know for sure though. I think some people’s hair is more resilient than others.

[@kekekurly]

Hey- I did a video on this too a little while ago as I have been having my hair cuts done on blown out hair for years then went to a curly hair stylist and made the complete wrong move. I found the cut to not target all of the split end and was VERY uneven in length. I have since been to another curly stylist who was better, but I still experienced the same issue with them not getting all of the ends trimmed and unevenness. I now currently get it done on blown out hair but again the shape when curly is not as good as it would be if i went to the second stylist i visited! So annoying!

Do you get a lot of fairy knots at the end of your hair???

[@itstruedestiny]

Only when I don’t keep up with my cuts. I only get more of them after I passed the 4 months mark from my last cut. I’m definitely overdue so I have been running into them more often rn. Hope this helps 💕

[@valenciasobomehin6535]

I don't think it's the cut. I think it's the mousse if you use it. Mousse has alcohol and is very drying thus the split ends

[@itstruedestiny]

It could be!

[@destinyjohnson306]

I have so many thoughts and feelings but I don’t know where to even start…😂

[@itstruedestiny]

Yeahhhh it’s a lot going on right now!

[@md_al_mamun06]

Your look is beautiful. ❤❤❤❤

[@del_sole6516]

Did Curry give you your first curly cut?

[@itstruedestiny]

Yes! Curry gave me first two curly cut experiences. I only started looking for a new stylist because they moved out of the state.

[@ossier2796]

My youngest sister had the kind of hair that could be relaxed and colored in the same day without any effects. That’s not me😂

[@itstruedestiny]

That’s definitely true! Some people definitely have more resilient hair than others 😂

[@pamelawalker9056]

Sorry that my comments that have been removed as it does not fit in the bashing of curly cuts as nobody do not want to take responsibility in what they do to there hair between the curly cuts schedule like the type of hair products being used, using hair products on damp hair when the instruction mentioned soaken hair, not using enough water, not using enough waters and conditioner when detangling to have a good resistance, detangling to rough, using the wrong detangle brush, not taking in consideration of the climate the person is living that can cause split ends, breakage when living in a dry, hot, cold weather environment. Sorry you don't want hear about other Influencers who mentioned there will not be 0 spilt ends and gave example what causes spilt ends as I have mentioned above including playing in the hair. Sorry you have not seen the live IG of the person you have mentioned in your video and seen first hand what was use and the condition of the hair. No website do not mentioned curly cuts cause spilt ends. Sorry you only want comments that bash curly cuts in damaging hair and do not want to hear what can cause spilt ends. Be Blessed in not wanting to hear both sides as you have mentioned in your video about comment below of experiences in curly cut as I have no bad experiences and my hair is growing and retaining length.

[@jessiwave8]

Your comment is 🔥, absolutely nothing to be sorry for. What I've noticed is similar in the folks bashing. Using products wrong, wrong products, not sticking to a main style, the list goes on and on. If someone doesn't mentally fully commit to the process then naturally the results will show just that. It's sad, there's hardly any accountability/ self reflection happening.

Your comment was deleted? Wow

[@pamelawalker9056]

​@@aprilnyssa yes, not once but twice and I wonder is because I have used the person name that they are referring to in the video and what I have observed when watching the IG live of the person referring in the video. I have noticed post in the threads are using the names of BGC and other KZbinr but I'm not allow to say the name in my comment of the person mentioned in the video.

[@thenotespace4561]

@@thingsilove18it does matter because if the stylist cut off all that needed to go y’all would call her scissor happy. Stylists can’t win with y’all because you never take accountability. Regardless, Rosie herself defended her stylist even though her stylist clearly said she’s not as good at seeing split ends while curly vs blown out.

[@Crumpets7377]

Curly cuts are just too voluminous for my face and lifestyle.

[@diamondpearl1204]

Why you did a copyright on Afrikanhairgod short video I don't think that was right of you to do that and it's just disrespectful and wrong to the black community first and foremost he's a hair stylist and he has his cosmetology license what kind of license do you have how would you like it he cop right with your you wouldn't like that at all no you would not so stop doing it to him

[@DuckyToof]

As a content creator, she is allowed to submit a copyright strike for her works. It has nothing to do with who has a license or not, who is a hair stylist or not, and everything to do with KZbin’s Terms of Service, copyright laws, and her rights as a content creator. The risk of a copyright strike is just something KZbinrs have to weigh when they react to content. She doesn’t owe you an explanation.

[@diamondpearl1204]

I said what I said

[@Neesha242]

She’s brainwash by bgc that’s why she did that

[@Amanda-vx1ut]

@@DuckyToof maybe she needs to learn about the fair use policy

[@DuckyToof]

@@Amanda-vx1ut again, as a content creator she has a right to submit a copyright strike. He is able to dispute it on his end (which is also his right and should be done if he believes his video met the criteria for fair use) And who is to say she isn’t privy to fair use (which is a legal doctrine by the way and not a policy)? In fact, I’m curious to know why you think the video fell under fair use? What conditions are you using?

[@thenotespace4561]

I don’t feel bad about Rosie and Shelly getting blocked. They ran online to say curly cutting as a whole was a problem and spread misinfo way before contacting BGC directly. I watched their initial videos and Rosie’s story especially didn’t add up. She refused to consider her stylist was the issue until way later. You don’t get to trash BGC, the people you make your content off of, and expect grace, especially when the issue was your stylist misrepresenting how good they actually are at cutting. BGC is not perfect but the block was perfectly warranted here.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 💕
