Why Should I Go To A Curl Specialist Hairdresser?

Curls are beautifully unique and they need to be treated differently to straight hair. Traditional salons may not have been specifically trained in how to cut curls and a haircut can make or break your curls. 

A curl specialist hairdresser has been trained to take care of your gorgeous curls to ensure you get the best results!

All curl patterns are different and with a curly trained hairdresser, you can be sure that they understand your individual curl type. From loose waves to tight coils, every curl type requires a tailored approach to cutting, styling, and caring for it properly. Curl specialists have the knowledge and expertise to identify your specific curl pattern and recommend the best techniques and products to enhance its natural beauty. They’ll also understand how much it will spring up once it has been cut and styled. 

It’s not a one-size fits all approach with a curl specialist. A curl specialist hairdresser will always consult with you, asking about your curls and styling routine. This is to make sure that they give you the best style that will fit in with your needs.

They take the time to understand your hair and how the curls will fall into place after a haircut. There are so many different curl-cutting techniques and many curly hairdressers prefer to start cutting curls when they’re dry. Curly hair tends to shrink and bounce up when it’s dry, so it can look a lot different when the hair is wet. Cutting the hair dry ensures you’re getting the best length and shaping for your curl type. This will make it easier when you’re styling your curls at home.

A curly hairdresser will only use the best curl-friendly techniques and products to make the most of your hair. This means using products that are free of ingredients that can be harsh on curls, like sulfates and silicones. Moisture is key for curls so they will use products rich in moisture to protect and nourish the hair. They should also have the holy grail of curl styling tools - a diffuser. This will gently enhance and define your curls with minimal frizz.

A curl specialist hairdresser can also make product recommendations based on your curl type. Of course, if you see Only Curls on their shelf, you know you’re in the right place!
