How I Trim + Shape My Curly Hair

This is my most requested video on how I maintain my heavily layered curly hair shape. I am an educator before a stylist so teaching others how to gain the confidence to style and care for their natural curls will always be more important than gaining clients for hair services ♡
I hope this video was informative and if you have any additional questions or video/tutorial requests, please leave them in the comments!
If you would like to book an appointment or just ask for personalized tips and advice, feel free to message me on instagram @curly.strands. And thank you again for watching!

As a man learning to take better care of my natural curly hair, thank you for making this video. I know I'm late, but that's better than never arriving at all. Good luck to everyone on their hair journey!

I’m gonna study this over and over and over again. I tried cutting my hair before and I ended up with a mullet

I use your technique on my son who has coily hair. I’ve been doing it this way for years now. He’s now 16 and won’t let anyone else cut his hair. It’s all because of you. He gets compliments all the time!

[@miosotistar]

So, I followed your tutorial last night and it turned out better than any haircut I've ever received, so THANK YOU! This came at a perfect time, with the Pandemic I decided to cut my own hair but hadn't been able to find a tutorial that made sense until now. It is hard to find a good stylist for my hair where I live (need to drive to Dallas and they are way above my price range). Thanks again!!!

[@curly4life951]

I really need to start cutting my hair like this. I typically blow dry it then cut or put it in twist and trim it which I know isn’t right but I’m just so lazy. Thank you for the video and the inspiration not to be lazy and do it correctly 💕

[@NatashaCamile]

Your hair will thank you in the long run!

[@nilpampalona6856]

I was in need of a haircut and I came across your channel. I have the same hair type and shape as you do and I can't thank you enough for your help ! Very easy steps to follow through. From now on I'll be cutting my own hair. I'm mesmerized with the results!

I finally understand the best way to cut my type 4 hair. I’ve tried different methods and this one works best and makes the most sense. I trimmed my hair today curl by curl and it was fun and easy and stress free. I had an old twist out and since I use flaxseed gel on my hair my curls were super defined and clumped very well to where I could easily cut it curl by curl. Thank you so much!!

[@lovemachinko8573]

I have the MOST problem with my bang shape specifically. I’ve watched so many of these vids and this is the most informative, helpful one. Thank you!

[@Naturalista_i]

I fell in love with this and especially the end-talk. Even though I'm a cosmetologist nothing about my now natural journey had ever been taught to me, thank you beauty.

[@EmilyAllensWeightLossJourney]

girl I hope I can get my daughter's curls looking like yours one day! You are so beautiful honey and your curls are on POINT! I'm using the tips from your 6 oils videos and working towards trimming her hair because its sooo tangly and dead on the ends but we braid it so much that I'm scared to do it. I can't leave it out because of daycare. She's only 3 lol but I'm trying girl

[@flowers0fpeace]

Your hair (and face) is so gorgeous! You make me want to wear my ringlets again 🥰😍

[@sisiliamosaati3463]

Yasss Girl!!! Flaunt it! 👑 🥰

[@_caram_]

It makes sense now, you're a hair stylist! I always do my own hair from cutting to styling and sometimes go to my Mom's house to convince her to do it 😁 because having wavy/curly tailbone length hair is a bit much sometimes...Thanks for another great informative video!

[@curlytopmorgan]

Your curls are soo similar to mine. I’ll definitely be following this and learning to cut my curls myself thank you so much 🙏🏽🙏🏽 you’re gorgeous !😍

[@NatashaCamile]

[@dpimentel83]

I just did this to my hair...it's so satisfying. I'm scissor happy. It's super easy to get carried away lol.

[@Monique-rn9lg]

Thank you for making this video. That looks like the perfect way to cut my hair. Normally I just put it in twists and cut off the scraggly bits at the end, but that doesn't help with shape. My hair is big and curly like yours. I will give this a try!

[@KLB1218]

I’ve been debating to cut my own hair and you’ve inspired me to try!! Wish me luck 🤞🏾🤞🏾

[@sorackee]

i’ve always been natural but it was only after religiously following your ‘how to style’ video 2 years ago that my confidence in my hair really started to shine. you introduced me to the fro life, thank you so much! i’ve been so fed up with my hair recently, it just hasn’t been giving and i now realize it’s because i haven’t been regularly trimming or shaping with a pick. i’ve been relying so much on my bangs at the very front to keep the hair cohesive, overstyling them until now they’re really damaged. i should’ve been picking them forward from the back for volume instead. now i know what i gotta do lol

[@dulcinea6286]

Your hair is absolutely beautiful. As beautiful as you. I almost jump when you cut the first curl, but I see the great result at the end.

[@naseeha101]

[@smootysmoots]

Yes, thanks so much, your curls are inspiring! A Deva cut cost about 180 bucks plus a consult where I am at and I just can't afford that right now! So I'm going to try this soon and just keep practicing! 💕 So update! I cut my hair!! I had so many damaged and split ends but b for my first time it turned out alright. I'll keep cutting my ends and just be patient about getting my length back. I do have a question though, how often do you wear your curly hair out? This pandemic got me doing a lot more protective styles!

[@CoachShaunie]

Very helpful! Thank you. Now I'm more confident about shaping my own hair.

[@MsBlondasian]

I’m really focusing on length and health rn so cutting as little as possible if I can but when my hair gets to my desired length I’m definitely gonna be styling it like this

[@luluandthereviews]

This is the best curly cut at home video I've seen. I made an appointment at a well known naturally curly place and they wanted $175 deposit. I'm coming from two states away and I wanted to treat myself. However, when I found out about that deposit... I canceled. I can't afford that. 🤦🏽‍♀️ So thank you for this wonderful and informative video. I will be taking your advice as I really loved that you said to cut on three day hair and by curl by curl. I actually see the roundness that I'm seeking! Gorgeousssss!!!! Blessings to you!!!! ✨✨✨🙌🏾👍🏾😬😍😍

[@mayalopez3383]

thank you so much for actually explaining everything. this helps a lot

[@gilayahmcintosh8766]

This made so much sense thank you so much!! Do recommend cutting and shaping your hair with or without product in it? Also do have any tips for cutting tighter textured hair?

[@NatashaCamile]

Gilayah McIntosh I shape mine in a normal hair day! So with product and about 2/3 days in. A good (but average) hair day

I hated my hair,my curls were not like they used to be no volume at all. Yesterday evening I found your video and without thinking I fallowed every step you did I wasn't scared I just was tired of my hair lol... Wenne done I washed it let it dry and I'm amazed how it turned out! I love it so much volume 😮...I instantly fell in love again with my curls. Thank you for saving my hair 😂I was ready to shave it of and go bald for real thank you.❤

I love it! Thats exactly what i want but I was never sure from which point of my head i should let the hair fall to the front as banks. You said from the middle of the head. THX. Will try that. I am 41 and live in Berlin and unfortunately don't have a hairdresser I can trust. Recently I went for cutting my split ends and the loss was the amount of what you have shown in the video. 85 Euro (92 $)!!!!!. And it did nothing to the overall look. Now i will try it myself and will come back and tell about the results. Wish my success!
