7 TIPS FOR GETTING YOUR BEST CUT
Bad haircuts are mortifying no matter your hair texture. A bad cut on curly hair can take several months, sometime years, to correct and grow out. To make the most of your curls—and to avoid any freak-outs, meltdowns or OMG salon moments—use my expert tips for getting your best cut.
Tip #1: Select one our of stylists who specializes in curls.
Your needs are vastly different from those with straight hair, so it is essential to find a stylist who knows exactly how to cater to and cut curls. I have spent 33 years perfecting the art of cutting curls, and I have passed that knowledge on to many stylists in that time. Choose your curl specialists Here.
Tip #2: Consultation! Consultation! Consultation!
I recommend that you have a thorough consultation with one of our curly experts before your curls even hit the shampoo bowl. Hair stretches 70% when wet and takes on a very different form than its natural dry state. A consultation allows our curl expert to view the shape and specific needs of your curls. Once our curl expert has an idea of the perfect cut for your curls, then you can proceed with the haircut.
Tip #3: What’s your type?
Our Ouidad Certified Curly Specialist identifies four specific curl types: Loose, Classic, Tight and Kinky. Understanding your curl type allows you to explore the cuts and styles that will work best for your unique hair. One of our curly experts will assess things like your curl pattern, curl length, hair health and face shape, then recommend a cut uniquely designed just for your curl type.
Tip #4: Treat yourself!
You’re already, so why not spend a little extra time and treat your curls? Our Curly Restoration Treatments have been one of our signature services for your curls because it replaces the eight amino acids and two proteins that curly hair loses over time.
Our Signature Deep Treatments reboot your curl pattern while nourishing and treating your hair, leaving your curls soft, shiny and optimized for your haircut. They only require only 12 minutes and is designed to treat all four curl types.
Tip #5: Styling lessons for home.
Whether you’re in for a trim, re-shaping or a major chop, it’s important that our curly expert helps you to understand exactly how to recreate the curl patterns, shape and look once you leave Lorraine’s House of Styles. Our curl specialist will offer expert curl tips for easy replication at home.
Tip #6: Prescription plan!
Consult with your curl specialist the day of your appointment on the best curly hair prescription to keep your new haircut and style treated, styled and in the best shape possible.
Tip #7: Plan your next appointment.
Whether you’re working toward a style goal or simply need a maintenance program, schedule your next haircut appointment before you leave. Doing so will ensure a regular date with your Lorraine’s House of Styles curl expert, and also keep you on track to care for your locks on a consistent basis.
