Curly Hair Considerations
Curly hair has unique needs that differ significantly from straight hair and understanding those needs is the key to keeping curls looking their best. Moisture is the most important factor for healthy curls, as curly hair tends to be drier and more prone to frizz than other hair types. Regular deep conditioning treatments can make a significant difference in the way your curls behave and how easy they are to manage. When it comes to cutting curly hair, technique matters enormously. Dry cutting is often preferred for curly hair as it allows the stylist to see exactly how each curl falls and ensure an even, flattering shape. Using the right products at home, including a good leave-in conditioner and a curl-defining cream, will help your curls look great between salon visits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cut curly hair differently to straight hair?
Yes, curly hair is best cut using techniques that account for how each curl springs up and sits when dry. At Fraser Shores Hair Design we approach every curly hair client individually, considering your curl type, density and the shape you're hoping to achieve. Cutting curly hair while dry is often the preferred method as it gives a more accurate picture of the finished result. We take our time with curly hair clients to ensure the cut enhances your natural texture rather than fighting against it.
What treatments are best for curly hair?
Deep conditioning treatments are one of the most beneficial things you can do for curly hair, helping to restore moisture, reduce frizz and improve curl definition. Protein treatments can also be helpful if your curls have become weak or prone to breakage. At Fraser Shores Hair Design we'll assess your hair's condition and recommend the most suitable treatment for your curl type and goals. We also offer advice on the best at-home products to use between appointments to keep your curls looking their best.
How often should I get my curly hair cut?
The ideal frequency for curly hair cuts depends on your hair's growth rate, length goals and overall condition. Generally speaking, a trim every three to four months helps remove split ends and keep the shape of your cut looking fresh. If you're growing your hair out, you can stretch this slightly but regular trims are still important for maintaining curl health. Our team at Fraser Shores Hair Design will give you personalised advice on the best trimming schedule for your specific curl type and hair goals.
