[@amateurastronomer9752]

Whether you believe the curly cuts caused the split ends or not, for how expensive those curly cuts are they should be addressing her split ends. Let’s just assume the curly cut is not causing her split ends. In that case, the idea that she is paying hundreds of dollars every 2-3 months for a cut that’s not even addressing her split ends is plain ridiculous and inexcusable.

[@ososandi]

I wonder if its not the fact that its the cause, but perhaps the curly cut isn't catching all the splits and therefore it gets worse over time maybe.....?

[@AfrikanHairGod]

Splits don't just pop up for no reason though. Something is making them occur in the hair. That means there are needs that the hair isn't getting that's cause it to crack and split like that

[@ashashdfin51]

I paid 200$ TWO hundred for a curly cut which is not what I had even booked I wanted a silk press trim and baby when I tell you I cried in the car my hair was just not worth them coins and the style didn't even last a day and now my curls are not popping like they used to which I think is due in part to them using deva curl on my hair which I had never used and I know they had a lawsuit

​@AfrikanHairGod hello good day sir. I am not a professional but have some unconventional theories on hair I'd like to share. Please allow an email or point of contact if you please. Thank you 👍

[@mrs.w6162]

I got a curly cut once and said never again! Not only did she cut too much but my hair was uneven and I still had split ends! I went right back to getting my trims while blow-dried or flat-ironed and my hair is thriving.

[@tHePuReMiRaClEs]

I had the same exact experience, i literally went over said please just address my split ends, and same day i looked at my bangs and a split was staring me in my face

[@MsMockingbird06]

Without those close up shots, I would have never guessed that her hair needed well over 2in cut or splits were half the length of her hair shaft. This video was very educational.

[@AfrikanHairGod]

I'm glad you learned a lot.

[@roki5337]

I've been caring for my hair and my daughters' hair for 20+ years. Ive always stretched annd blown out the hair first. Cutting while curly is disastrous because each clump of curls clumps differently. There is no way to assess damage or health of the ends when they are in its curly state. You either cut too much or neglect large portions of hair. Thank you for being bold enough to tell the truth regardless of the fallout from other stylists.

[@jazmynglenn]

I never understood why some natural hair stylists are against using oils in the hair. I will forever use my leave ins, creams, and oil in my hair. Thank you for taking your time with the client and for posting this video! It was very informational and valuable. Healthy hair over length ❤

[@sheliasimpson6048]

Wow, i'm not going to lie I started out watching with a critical eye, and I apologize. You are amazing! Great technique, and talent. You have the skills of a professional that only experience can bring, and cant be taught, or found in a book. A true beautician, stylist and all around ARTIST! You saw a problem, and knew how to properly fix it without being too aggressive. Then you came back and surgically gave her "what she asked for" in a style! Okay Sir, much respect to you... I See You!

[@nwb730]

I was devoted to the cut it kinky/curly cut approach for over a year. I faithfully went to one of their trained stylists at least once a month for wash and gos and curly cuts about every 3 months. After about 6 months I noticed my hair was feeling extremely dry and looking chewed up. The stylist said my hair was still dehydrated from my past practice of keeping my hair in braids but to stick it out and things would get better as my hair became more moisturized. I finally said enough is enough and went to another professional for an evaluation and she informed me that my hair was very dry, brittle and uneven due to the gels, lack of moisture and conditioner, harsh manipulation trying to create a type of definition that my hair just didn’t have and the curly cuts. It has taken over a year of deep moisture treatments, corrective cuts and low manipulation hair styles from my new stylist for my hair to finally feel halfway decent. Everything Narada has said in this video has been spot on to my experience 😢 I should have known better

[@MK-hh1vo]

Thank you for sharing this! You should not have had to "know better", that's what you're paying the "professional" for. I'm new to curly cuts and I'm already seeing these symptoms.

[@gracepotts]

[@macummings7818]

So sorry you endured this I was guessing the products/ aftercare product recommendations were the real problem. Or at least a big part of the problem. And the professional stylist community likes to pretend consumers avoid them for no reason. 😑😑😑

[@icequeenspits]

I'm not a professional just a curly girl who has had curly cuts for years...Its hard to believe the cut itself caused this damage. It seems like the professional she went to sucked and didn't give proper advice. My hair stylist told me about my hair porosity, suggested new styling methods, and kept my ends looking good. Thanks to those changes I'm no longer product dependent and my curls stay nicely defined even after swimming! My curls no longer clump and tangle they are all individuals and my hair fall into its heart shape with ease. This poor lady got scammed.

[@laurendilaurentis6467]

What’s your porosity and hair type? What you described is my goal 😭

[@savontehayes89]

I was just in a comment section saying 4c girls NEED trims and they were all trying to tussle smh . I learned from experience my hair grew so much but I neglected getting trims and had to cut about 5 inch’s off because my hair was like hers . I blew it out first best thing I could’ve did ❤

[@CrystalRose1111]

It’s helpful to check your ends once a month. Breakage on your ends is inevitable, and it helps maintain the thickness and appearance of the hair.

[@daughterofyah6209]

They told her to use gel as a moisturizer?!!! She was doom from that advice alone!!!! Edit-the hair look sooo much better and healthier and surprisingly more thick after!! I could see what you meant by the damage going up the hair but this was a beautiful start back to healthy hair!! You did that!! 😍😍

[@Marcie_does_it]

For the life of me, I don’t understand how someone that wears wash and go’s or twist outs the majority of time, never uses heat and is relaxer-free, would have so many splits. It HAS to be the curly cuts.

[@iateyursandwiches]

TBF, everyone regardless of how much heat they use will accumulate mechanical damage to their hair over time. It's inevitable. Still, trims every 3 months and your ends still look like that? Yikes! I'm glad I had a textured hair stylist in NY steer me in the right direction. She informed me that I need to be careful with curly cuts since they aren't for precision but more for shape and thus can miss a lot of split ends. It just made sense to me at the time considering how they go about these cuts.its very easy for natural hair to hide damage, especially if you slather a bunch of product on it.

[@alyariel9713]

I find that wash n goes, as much as I love them can be a potentially damaging style if you’re not careful… and I wear wash n goes 90% of the time!😅❤It’s alot of manipulation to set, and is generally more drying with the use of gels. Some people rake and shingle or use brushes to style and it’s alot of stress on the hair strand. When I first learned wash n goes, it was frankly tearing up my hair. But I realized I really had to be on my deep conditioning, using moisturizing leave ins, gentle styling, proper trims, and low manipulation.

[@Criticalnin]

@@alyariel9713nestly, I think it also has to do with people just not being consistent with the upkeep for their hair. Since the style is relatively easy people feel like they are to just go however long without washing the hair again or not protecting their hair at night. Ik washdays can be dreadful but let me tell you… no wash day has EVER made me want to end it all was one after a wash and go that I let stretch for like 3 weeks or so. (But when I did it every week/ a few days (whenever my hair started feeling dry) my curls were popping, bouncing and shrinkage) And also, people are only looking at the definition but not that the hair is moisturized. If you only use gel and nothing else your hair will be crying for moisture….!!! I didn’t know that people out here were only using gels… and sometimes another gel for hold… I thought that’s what the gels itself was for?? And also, it should come as no surprise that with tightly coiled hair like type 4.. if you do not prevent it from running against itself when you sleep, expect tangles tangles tangles! Which then leads the tangles and knots to rub against each other and create more splits…

[@alyariel9713]

@@CriticalninI agree! I wrap my hair every night and only do my hair once a week. Doing it more often was just too much manipulation for my fine strands😭😭 I had so much tangling and breakage. Low manipulation is everything and yesssss: gel dries out your hair. Layering a moisturizing cream underneath gel is VITAL. Wetline extreme gel is my holy grail, but even botanical based gels like Camille rose curlmaker or Uncle funky’s daughter can leave hair dry. Moisture and proper maintenance (trimming ) is key for maintaining healthy hair in wash n go state. Thank you for your two cents!!❤

As a licensed stylist, thank you for sharing the information. Your consultation was on point! You ADDRESSED the concerns of the client and offered an amazing service. That cut not only will help the integrity of her hair, it also helped make the style look nice and healthy. I’m sure her hair will grow past the initial length she started with with your hair care plan. Loved it! I will be using these methods for my clients as well. Thank u for an informative video. 😊

[@rockixoxo]

I had a curly cut in May & it recently dawned on me that I’m not retaining length! I’ve been getting curly cuts for 2 years & whenever I get my hair blow dried/pressed you can see how bad my ends still are. My hair was definitely longer and healthier when I got regular trims not those curly cuts..

[@AfrikanHairGod]

I'm so thankful that you, Shelly, Rosie, etc. have spoken out about these curly cuts. I got my first curly cut in Feb of this year and a 'trim' in May. After my first visit, my hair felt great and my wash 'n goes were lovely. After that second trim, I knew something was up with my hair. All of the videos and info about curly cut damage came just in time. I immediately blew out my hair and braced myself for the worst. Fortunately, maybe since I haven't been getting curly cuts for too long, my damage was minimal. Not a lot of splits but definitely uneven. I'm mad at the length I've lost but grateful I caught it in time. Give me ALL the blown out trims, leave-ins, oils, etc.! Thank you for bringing me back to my senses! 😄

[@stephanie4337]

Everything is not for every hair type. This curly cut business is one of them. Having different lengths of hair on type 4 hair seems like a breeding ground for fairy knots. If I ever tried those methods, I would have been bald. I see a lot of those KZbinrs that use that method had little to no length retention.

[@Macmaniaaa]

I mean that’s not the most fair assessment. The KZbinrs that use the method mainly wear their hair in wash N gos which causes a tremendous amount of shrinkage, so they could have the length and we wouldn’t know. Not to mention if they’re constantly cutting their hair every couple of months then they’re actively getting rid of the potential length. I agree with everything else!

[@Kingofthenet2]

@@cfoster6804 I agree entirely as someone with tight coils and shrinkage. I’ve never considered doing a wash and go or curly cut for those reasons. I don’t think the hair extra work I have to put in is worth it

[@illiciumverum6149]

​@@GivebackthescarfI agree, my type 4 hair loves wash n gos. Most people dislike wash and gos because it shows off their true curl pattern, the various goops BW shove on their head weighs down the curl and gives the appearance of a looser curl pattern. It's cheaper to get a texturizer/relaxer than wasting money on all these products that weigh the hair down.

[@PearEnthusiast61]

Glad you mentioned the I create hold and ufd product combo. I know some people rock their wash and gos for up to a week but my hair feels dry after a few days, which makes me uncomfortable keeping it in that long. Leave in for the win

[@CurlyCrowie]

Mine don't look right the next day. It seldom feels dry though. It just doesn't sit right. My hair has to be wet thoroughly . So i oil and then shower, just a plain water wash. I only need a little gel or curl cream. Some days i top up on the leave -in, but not everyday. That spraying water the next day, doesn't work for me. So yeah, i don't even get 2nd day hair, let alone 7 days.😂

[@CurlyCrowie]

@@cmw1336 I can relate. If I use a product with glycerin high up on the list, my hair is a fuzzy frizzy mess.

[@donnajackson1953]

From my professional perspective as a hair stylist of 25 years, naturally curly hair does not need a hair trim or cut more than 3 times a year unless the client wants a shorter cut. Once that trim/cut is done then the hair needs to be moistured on a continuous basis, hair kept in protective hairstyles, not too much friction or manipulation on the hair or the ends, definitely a no to tight hairstyles , and the only heat that needs to be on the hair is the occasional silk press , or the blow out for the ends to be trimmed. Keep a leave in conditioner in the hair and a silk or satin bonnet at night. You're welcome

[@adee801]

This explains what I have been dealing with. I’ve been getting curly cuts for a decade. I had an excellent stylist that did get every end of my hair even with a curly cut, but she moved away and I the new stylists never seemed to get all the ends. I think over time those ends split and went all the way up. I decided to get a straight cut and no one would actually do it! As if it was blasphemous. I just had to chop it off because I couldn’t get it to detangled and looking nice. Thanks for confirming what I’ve been experiencing.

[@ashleysanchezg9153]

I never fell for the curly cut trend, I always loved and liked my curls at the same length because, for one, I like my hair that way, second, I don’t like the thought of my hair at different lengths unless it’s layered, and third, I just knew with my hair at the same length my ends would be healthier, stronger, and thicker. Curly cuts look so weird to me. Never fell for it. I feel bad for those that spent so much money on a curly cut when a regular $20-30 trim at hair cuttery did the job perfectly lol

[@ashleysanchezg9153]

[@jjayjae_]

Uncle Funky’s Daughter is a very light, serum type aloe based gel, but I don’t use it alone anymore because it has very little slip and emolliency when used on bare hair. To me it’s just a higher end, more botanical version of curl activator gel and that’s how I use it. It is hydrating in the same way that old school jherri curl activators are hydrating but does very little to style the hair by itself, and it isn’t better at being a primer than a typical leave in. Leave-ins exist for a reason and are used by stylists of all races and clients of all demographics. I really don’t understand why they have a problem with them or act like black people are idiots for buying them. Anyway, thanks for this video Narada. Beautiful haircut as always.

[@AfrikanHairGod]

Those jherri curls are just as dry without those activator sprays too.... Hmm 🤔

[@jjayjae_]

@@AfrikanHairGod That is very true. I don’t think the humectant gels are truly enough in the longterm. BGC always says that we don’t need leave ins because they have no hold, and will bring up the example of leave ins not being used to style the hair in salons in the 90s or 80s, but the 80s and 90s weren’t exactly the pinnacle of hair health for black women. There were plenty of people with dry, brittle hair then.

First off I'm white, but I SWEAR this is part of why my hair is so messed up. Not even just from curly cuts. But from stylists who really don't understand the fundamentals of hair. So many people always tried to "thin" it or give it "texture", even though I have extremely thick hair. I legit have told them please don't do that or use a razor and the damn stylist started running her scissors down my hair to texturize it!! I told her to stop and she tried to argue with me saying it's not the same as a razor and wouldn't mess up my hair 😭 My hair is like friggin Hagrid from Harry Potter. It has made my hair exactly like this where it looks healthy but there's splits all the way down and it won't smoothe out!!! It drives me insane and nobody understands how to fix it so I have been avoiding the salon like a plague! Are there salons like yours that also do type 2-3 hair??? I need to have my scalp taken care of too but legit I have NEVER seen a "white" salon that does any of the things you do. It's like they don't have any clue how to actually have healthy hair. I've been natural for 5+ years and still suffering from the damage these basic stylists did to me. Also totally agree with you about glycerin, my hair hates it and it makes my hair much more frizzy bc it draws in moisture from the air to make hair look more moist but obviously that can cause frizziness too depending on how humid your environment is.

I use bella curls conditioner heat with a cap for 30 mins, which has ridiculous slip and moisture, cantu avocado curling cream leave in - i mix safflower oil in the jar, and kinky curly curling custard on top.

I so appreciate your videos! I am a natural girl of course and a natural stylist myself . I am learning so much! I am so thankful! I have had a good bit of training, but nothing from one of us. I do use the Deva cut method but I use leave in and water and gel sometimes. I’m excited to try the way you cut. Hair that struggles to get sebum all the way down the shaft certainly shouldn’t have gel on it regularly. (I thought that was obvious.)

[@BlackVelvetBeauty]

I am concerned about this double gel method. That’s not how you’re supposed to do it. With the training I received, for two years ,we always talk about moisturizing the hair and then locking the moisture in with a gel. And of course, this varies based off of the porosity of the hair.

[@bbappzz98]

I honestly felt like the wash and go was already pretty simplified - wash, deep condition in the shower, leave in and gel. Sometimes the no oils way, you end up using 2 or 3 gels or a gel and a mousse so you’re using just as much or more product anyways. I was tempted to try it out to see if my hair can get more defined but honestly between the curly cut fiasco and dryness I’m just going to stick with the usual KZbinr way I learnt years ago. And with the curly cut issue, when I was transitioning my dyed hair out, I scrunched my ends because my curl pattern was almost dead before I did a curly cut on myself. Immediately after my hair was so tangly and difficult, I had to do another curly cut without scrunching my hair quickly after and it improved. The scrunching made my dyed hair have a more inconsistent curly pattern so the ends were more jagged. Jagged ends do something awful to the hair. When you started speaking about the curly cuts it made sense to me because that explained why one cut had such a drastic change. I stick to cutting my hair on blown out hair now and my ends have been doing good.

[@rachelk4914]

It never made sense to me either. I saw them style a clients hair with 3 gels and a mousse. It was clear that the gel made the hair like Velcro, so instead of using a leave in, mousse was used to supposedly help detangle the hair🤦‍♀️

[@gracepotts]

This was my experience with curly cuts/no oils, no butters. It tore my hair up, and it was somehow *my fault* not the fault of the hair care practices I was following to the letter. Cost me a ton of $$ and time. Just awful.

[@illiciumverum6149]

Same with me, my hair got really dry and broke off in the middle. Whenever you question those stylists pushing this they become hysterical and send their fans after you to attack. There's a reason most of those women are bald or keep a wrap on their head, they have damaged hair, but are too stuck in their beliefs so they won't change what they do.

[@ChesireWaltz]

​@@illiciumverum6149I will say I have noticed that a lot of the no oils/butters crowd... Don't have long hair. I know and love that length isn't the be all end all for everyone, it's not for me any more. But like... No one? I think the real take away from the no oils should be the more frequent washing, and with actual shampoo, and less product on hair overall. But I've been having nice results keeping oils and creams but just washing my hair more instead of smothering product on top of product.

[@naturallysweet]

Thanks for the information. I wear wash and all the time. I just keep my ends trimmed. I never apply heat on my own. My main issue since my hair is graying ( more pepper than salt) is moisture. I have incorporated more oils, butters and sometimes grease to my hair care routine. I just let my hair do what it does. Silk scarves are my friend when I don't want to deal with it. Keep us informed. I love it! I'll be skating soon as my podiatrist clears me from my foot surgery.

[@alisonhilaire4170]

I'm not sure but I think several things could be the cause of damage with this hair regimen. For example, hooded dryer removes more moisture than air drying (that's actually the purpose). This could cause some dryness. I've also seen people following this regimen washing their hair weekly, while others wash their hair more frequently. Maybe some people need to wash their hair (or just get it wet?) more than once a week, to maintain a good level of moisture and minimize tangles. Speaking of tangles, another thing could be the use of brushes on hair that is not heavily lubricated with thick conditioners, oils, butters, grease, silicones, etc... if there are too many tangles and not enough slip, breakage can happen. I'm also wondering if the fact that the ends are uneven when stretched is not causing tangles whenn brushing. I am not a professional and I did not exactly follow this routine, so these are just ideas I have based on my experience with my hair.

[@denyshadials5702]

I’m doubtful it’s the dryer. Hood dryers are very gentle. Especially on a waterlogged style like wash n go. Those Felicia leatherwood brushes m, however, are snag happy and don’t get through the hair easily-nearly every video about it gives struggle bus. But they do use conditioner while detangling. They don’t use conditioner for styling, they only use gels. Their products have oils and butters. They don’t use *additional* oils and butter with their stylers. Their process could be successful with a decent cut, I believe. That is…if you like two gels on your hair…I personally don’t. The definition and hold are nice, but it’s the same as using the ‘plastic gels’ they talk down on at the end of the day. Ingredients might be better but the hair feels the same. The ‘moisture’ doesn’t last any longer-but that’s really just the overall nature of wash n gos and how your hair responds to them. Your peak is your peak once you figure it out. So you’ll only do it if you like how it looks and feels.

[@foi_n]

Maybe also because of using humectants which can have the opposite effect on hair in non-humid conditions like the drier.

I still follow along the kinky/curly journey but I do still blow my hair out and get my ends cut. I also sometimes use oil but not a lot since my scalp produces a good amount of oil naturally. If I followed strictly with the curly cuts my ends will definitely look like the lady hair in the video. I may include a leave in that was mentioned in the comments. I’ve been seeing the Curly community promoting two weeks wash and go’s which I wouldn’t recommend nor do. Curly cuts is $250 Tapered cut maintenance $180 Wash and Go’s $125 This movement has become way too expensive. Then they want you to buy all the products which isn’t cheap at all. I would recommend everyone to learn the foundations of their hair and do what is right for you.

I have been thinking for YEARS that the curly cuts have been leaving me with excessive split ends. I love them for shaping natural hair, but this video confirmed my suspicions.

I've been getting curly cuts since Nov 2021 consistently (every 12 weeks). I did wash n gos 98% of the time and was always having trouble styling, smoothing and raking with the gels. Even a week or two after my curly cuts I was still having trouble with my ends. I used the curly magic and I create hold combo primarily throughout that time as well and would shampoo weekly. Even after detangling my hair it always felt like it was tangled again when I would go to style. Now that I'm hearing about all of this which I'm grateful people have been speaking up bc I thought I was just doing something wrong and it was becoming sooo frustrating. Curly cuts are not cheap and I stayed with it because I thought it would get better but I'm starting to think I'm having the same issues as those who've spoken up. To think that I've basically not been properly cutting my hair for almost two years is very disheartening! Also, the fear mongering against using oils and butters has made hair care feel so limiting and stressful. I've started to step away from their methods and moisturizing my hair again and it feels so good (soft and has movement) but I can tell I NEED a cut. I've made an appointment in my area to get a blown out trim. I'm nervous to see the results but I definitely think it's a large part of what's holding me back from retaining length. Thank you for speaking up about this!

[@monicaDD]

It gets better. I got curly cuts for two years and experienced the same issues. My KIK stylist did my first blowout cut after my years of curly cuts. We both saw the same thing and she offered reasons why it was such a drastic difference. The only reason I didn’t continue my blowout cuts with her is because she really didn’t cut it well. I had to go back the same day because it was so uneven. I realized then that some stylists have specialties and are inaccessible. I never had her number so it took me using email her website and IG before I was able to contact her to fix the blowout cut.

[@ArethaRenee]

I never stopped using my coconut oil or doing deep conditioning. I think that helped me. I have had my hair blown out and silk pressed a few times over the 3 years I’ve been getting them do I know my ends are intact.

I think kinky/tightly coiled hair needs to be cut blown out and/or silk pressed if you want dense ends. I see very few women who are successful in growing really long hair like that (again, i mean 3c-4z and beyond...looser textures have different rules). I also think constant curly hair styling (daily products being applied, wetting hair multple times a week) is really hard on a lot of our hair types too.

I think this goes to show that not all hair is the same and not all stylists are the same. I’ve been getting curly cuts consistently since 2016, and haven’t had issues . I’ll note, I do only plan for them every 9 months to a year though for a style reset. With 3C / 4A hair, I don’t think you need them more than that. I keep split ends at bay by getting a regular trim every 4 or so months in between cuts.

[@ijustneedmyself]

Exactly. I've been getting curly cuts for a long time now and have absolutely no issues with it either. Several of my stylists over the years have commented on how healthy my 3a hair is.

[@AfrikanHairGod]

Well you can't properly assess the health of hair with curly cuts without blowing out the hair. The hair looks deceptively healthy in its natural state on the surface but you need to thoroughly examine the length and ends of each individual strand to be able to see the extent of health or damage.

It’s really been helpful for my hair so far, it’s like the comb just glides thru my hair at this point 😂 and I’m natural 😊.

[@lekanawilliams8367]

I will say this too, a lot of clients are just putting curl enhancing gels or mousse products on top of products. Meaning instead of simply misting the hair with water to reactivate the product that is already in the hair, they just add layer on top of layer and so on plus adding a diffuser. Not to mention how often they are shampooing. That may be a part of the dryness factor as well.

I also got tired of having to manipulate my hair in the mornings and going out with damp hair every damned day. Today, my hair is silky again and it’s almost reaches the middle of my back.

Let's be real and provide clarity - its behavior and use of tools that impact our hair health - NOT a haircut. This is basic logic folks. Its wrong products and behavior that ruins hair. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@AfrikanHairGod]

I get what you are saying but that's not completely true. The type of hair cutting can have damaging effects on the hair depending on how it's cut and it's behaviors. Slide cutting, razor cutting, and even curly cuts cause inconsistencies in the hair that can create issues

[@Gtinker]

Speaking from experience (I have the same if not really similar hair texture) if you have this kind of kinky/ coily hair it hides damage really well. You absolutely have to be touching it and looking at it to know. Also when your hair is this dense you tend to produce a lot of oil on the scalp which does not move down the length of your hair if your not brushing through it. This personally attributed to the weakness of the ends and shafts of my hair. I understand that that doesn’t work for everyone (I use heat to stretch my hair) so leave in is essential to me. I think curly cuts are good for shape but definitely not maintenance. I’ve seen a lot of other women with softer silkier textures say getting curly cuts as maintenance damaged their hair too. So there is also the idea that it’s not solely about hair texture or type.

[@malmal3003]

Curly cuts are for people who wear their hair curly as their primary hair style. In the 3 years I’ve had mine I’ve only straighten my hair twice. My hair is healthy and looks proportional. Prior to this I was getting my hair cut when it was blown out only to have the weirdest hair shape when it was curly. You have to know what your goal is for your hair before you decide on how to cut it. If you KNOW FOR A FACT that you are more inclined to straighten your hair do not get a curly cut because the layering will not be to your liking.

For myself, I wear wash n gos maybe 90 percent of the time. I curly cut my own hair and it’s worked fine BUT It was not the sole technique i relied on. I curly cut very lightly : if a curl is too long and looks awkward, if a curl thins or is damaged , if a curl gets too in my face. (Back in the day I solely curly cut and it grew fine, but now I hybrid curly cuts and stretched hair cuts) It was fine to me because I never wore my hair stretched or straightened hardly. I wore my hair in the state i cut it in. But now, every few months i would do a maintenance trim on stretched hair to make sure I could see the ends.

I’ve had three curly cut only one was great because she did my hair both stretched and curly to make sure that the shape was great and the help was correct. Most of these stylists are not doing both. They’re just cutting kinky hair all the same as a looser wave pattern. Everything you said I agree with. I am currently only cutting my hair in a stretched format by a professional every six months but at home trimming the ends every 6 to 8 weeks. My Hair is currently bra length healthy and looks great both straight and curly.

Before the whole curly cut phenomenon I always liked to get my hair blown out and cut then pressed, and whenever I did a wash and go it was always great. I tried two different curly cut stylist and just hated the whole method. The first stylist the cut wasn't bad and grew out nicely but the amount of product they use doesn't make sense it took HOURS for my hair to dry and it was two inches long. The second stylist cut was horribly uneven and again with the overuse of products. I don't like having handfuls of products in my hair or having it finger styled because realistically I'm not going to finger coil my hair at home. Also I've recently made the decision that I will be doing my hair on a biweekly basis and my doing I mean a silk press bc I'm tired of the curly hair maintenance. It looks good for one day and that's it and it's so dried out from curly gels. If I get heat damage, oh well!

I think it’s the shears force against a coily wet hair shaft that creates the perfect environment for split and it’s so hard to see to cut away splits ends on curly and coily hair.
