Hey Guys,
I'm a new cosmetologist finding my feet in this wonderful business! I LOVE cutting, coloring and styling any type of hair!
A few of my clients have extremely curly hair and it's been a tricky road for me but I think I am coming along pretty well- as the clients keep coming back.
I generally cut curly hair damp and without excess tension of course. In beauty school they didn't teach us to cut hair dry- other than to say it's possible- in fact they down right discouraged it. But I have done my share of youtubing and googling to find out the best ways.
One thing in particular that I am struggling with is a curly haired client that wears her hair straight about 75-80% of the time. She prefers it flat ironed. She has VERY thick hair, it's about a little above shoulder length with a lot of layers. Last year she was wearing her hair curly almost everyday so the uniform haircut worked perfectly and her curls looked gorgeous. This year she's all about straightening her hair and I can't help but notice the distinct lines from previous layering (Shes trying to grow it back out from a chin length cut) She desires a one length bob almost- that she'll flat iron every 2-3 days.. but in the mean time she has these layers and I really need help eliminating the distinct line. I know that "ends need friends" when it comes to curly hair, so apparently point cutting is out- according to Sam Villa- (I asked him on Facebook and his reply was not to point cut..) But I am still left without an answer!
Please help me!!
