HOW I TRIM MY CURLY HAIR AT HOME (advice from a curly hairstylist)

[@EmilyK1101]

you are the only stylist on youtube that understands that there are people that can't get a professional cut; whether it's because they don't have the money or have just had bad experiences with too many hairdressers. love your channel ❤

This is me. I have the same kind of volume and shape as Mell. Watching her vids has definitely helped a lot!

[@kristinaslavic3600]

For me it's not the matter of prices but it's a matter of hairdressers not having much experience with cutting curly hair. So my hair is 3a/3b, and the curls can last up to 5 days without a need of restyling however every time I go for a cut, my hair goes crazy for a few days, ends up looking wavy, dry, brittle and what not, until it goes back to it's curl pattern. I mean, hairdressers here are amazing, it's a very high quality studio however, people here, if they have curly hair, they just want it straightend so hairstylists can't really get much experience on what to do for curly hair to make it look amazing when actually worn curly.

Any hairdresser has to know the layers, get another one or do it yourself if she does not understand what you are meaning.

I usually rinse my hair with water quickly, but I really try not to fully wash or even co-wash for about 3-4 days.... Can we have epic curls and booty gains?! Thank you for everything always!

I wash every time I swim (4-5 times a week), condition everyday, and do a hair mask 2-3 times a week. I never really use styling products because I usually just put it in a French braid so that I don’t have worry about changing my style for swim or dance. I hope that helps!

Its SO easy to trim your dead ends away. But i believe its because our hair is more fine and easy to follow. If i had thick dense hair idk maybe it might be harder? Maybe not haha.

Love this video! I live in a place where curly specialists are hard to find. Plus, I’ve feel loyalty to my hairdresser that I’ve had for years. Can you do a series of videos on how to ask to a non-curly hair stylist for different curly things? And then demonstrate them on another person or dummy head? I was think it should be a series guide so that you can address all of the curl patterns, fine to coarse hair, low to high porosity, and specific cuts for face and head shapes. Maybe you could include how to style a curly client’s hair for their natural pattern, instead of the typical blowout, so the client can assess if they are happy with shape before they leave. Typing it out, it does seem like a lot to ask. But I was thinking this may address how you were saying you felt bad that you can’t possibly accommodate every new client request. No pressure! I love all your videos and will always watch! 💕

This is good timing I was just thinking its time for a trim! I usually have my regular stylist do it but im butt nekkid broke so I have done it before and I can do it again. I still prefer to cut mine dry because I have soo many different curl patterns and when I trim it wet i tend to get a little wonky so I cut on and old style dry and then wash, DC and style then go back through and trim again.
