Hair Cuts for Curly Hair



Tips for styling curly hair no matter the cut:

• Look for products that have olive oil, coconut oil, and other hydrating ingredients in them. When you hydrate the hair, it adds weight. Weight defines curls and makes it easier to manipulate them, while preventing them from exploding into frizz. 


• Apply product when hair is damp, right out of the shower, so that the product can dry with the hair and help neutralize the curls. 


• Blow dry your roots without the diffuser, then attach the diffuser for your ends, so that it doesn't take hours to dry your hair.

Per celebrity stylists Ursula Stephens and Kevin Mancuso curly haired girls should consider these particular haircuts to maximize their curls:

1.  IF YOU HAVE MEDIUM DENSE HAIR THAT'S WAVY or RELAXED like Jordin Sparks...

Get an extremely layered long cut.

Why the cut works: The layers begin at Jordin Spark's cheekbones, which helps to give movement to the hair, says Stephens. "It keeps it sexy, instead of just one heavy length. When you don't have layers, you have a bohemian, heavy look." Stephens says this style isn't about being neat, but about creating free, movable hair.


2.  IF YOU HAVE FINE TO MEDIUM HAIR WITH TIGHT SPIRAL CURLS like Anna Lyn ...


Get a really long haircut with layers.


Why the cut works: Mancuso says the curlier the hair, the longer the layers should be. AnnaLynne McCord's lioness mane is tamed with defined curls and tapered at the ends with layers


3.  IF YOU HAVE THICK, VERY TIGHT CURLS like Corinne Bailey Rae ...


Get a shoulder-length pageboy cut with longer layers at the ends.


Why the cut works: It's not quite a lob (long bob), but the cut is a length that sits right on your shoulders, which makes Corinne Bailey Rae's beautiful curls short enough to maintain but long enough to prevent her hair from getting too big, says Stephens.
