Curly Hairdresser Sydney

Please arrive at your appointment with freshly washed and naturally dried hair. Alana will cut your hair dry first, then wash and dry it with a final trim to achieve your best curly haircut

Dry Cutting: Curly hair is best cut dry because curls show their true length and form when dry, not stretched out like when wet. This technique allows for precise shaping and avoids any surprises once the hair dries.

Curl by Curl: Each curl has its own personality. Cutting curl by curl or in small sections honours the natural curl pattern, ensuring a tailored shape that enhances the hair's natural bounce and volume.

Minimal Tension: Avoid pulling or stretching the curls while cutting. Curly hair springs back when dry, so keeping it in its natural state during the cut ensures accuracy.

Layering: Properly placed layers can remove bulk where it's not needed and add volume in just the right spots, giving the hair movement and lightness.

Hydration is Key: Start with well-moisturised hair. Curly hair tends to be dry, so use a hydrating conditioner or leave-in treatment to lock in moisture.

Gentle Detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to detangle gently, starting from the ends and working your way up to prevent breakage and maintain curl integrity.

Styling Products: Apply curl-defining cream, mousse, or gel to damp hair. These products help define curls, reduce frizz, and add hold. Experiment to find what works best for your curl type.

Drying: Air drying is ideal for curls to prevent frizz. If you're in a hurry, use a diffuser attachment on your blow dryer, set to a low speed and temperature. Tilt your head and gently place curls in the diffuser cup to enhance definition and volume.

Hands Off: Once your curls are styled and drying, try not to touch them too much. Handling can cause frizz and disrupt the curl pattern.

Refresh: Between washes, revive curls with a light mist of water or curl refresher spray, and gently scrunch to bring back the definition.
