Greetings from Cape Town South Africa I can't say thank you enough for your wonderful tips you have saved my curls. Keep up the wonderful tips on behalf of my curls a big thank you
Hi Zoe! Thank you so much! x
Omg i just went to Cape Town 😂
I’m from Cape Town too and these tips are definitely so helpful 🥺
Me watching this after I chopped off my split ends with eyebrow scissors
Amara Rosario LMAO I did the exact same thing about the same time you posted this comment.... guess who has a real appointment tomorrow to get her hair cut 💇♀️
@@jencasavant7294 Same here-have an appointment in hope of repairing-lol
AHAHA IVE DONE THIS TOO MANY TIMES
😆omg!!
Totally disagree. I went to so many „professionals“ and my always turned out like crap. I think you can definitely cut your ends at home, just leave the shaping and other more difficult stuff to someone you can trust. Especially when you are in a region where hairdressers don‘t know nothing about curly hair.
I live in those places as well. And I can definitely relate to it :(
A bad haircut literally took all my curls away and left me with wavy hair. The cut simply wasn't allowing my hair to properly curl and yeah. I ended up with a disappointment
I really need a trim but I've always had bad experiences get it "professionally" cut.

Getting my hair cut stresses me out. I have had so many bad ones. Thanks for this video as well as the tips to take pictures with you of what hair styles you like. Unfortunately I am past due for a cut.
good luck! If you don't have a stylist you trust, my tip is to ask around (even stop girls with great hair in the street - I always do this!) and get a recommendation xx
Me too sometimes I think about just shaving my entire hair off
@@Hairromance My hair looks almost exactly like urs but a bit shorter-I finally mastered how to get defined curls except at the crown and the very front sides-everywhere else I have thick full curls-any suggestions? Also I live in FL so very humid here:(. My hair looks great until I step outside. Thanks for any help:)
@@juliefizpatrick513 some shorter layers can help your curls bounce up more. Styling wet hair will a gel really helps to hold and set the curl and reduce frizz. Nothing is going be totally frizz proof, esp in FL, but I find that gel really helps :) xx
@@Hairromance I had layers added just last week and it makes a big difference:)! Thank you for responding:)
I've always hated my curly hair. Some hairdressers call it 'ethnic' or 'hebe' hair. I'm white with a Celt Saxon background so that's why. People used to tell me I'll appreciate my curls when I'm older. Now I'm sixty and it's thinning I'm glad to have curls all the way down to the roots.
I have taken pictures of the haircut I want, but the woman just cut my hair the way she wants! Wish I could find a good hairdresser.
ah that's so frustrating! I literally stop people in the street to ask who doe their hair and keep a list of recommendations x
I am a hairstylist with 30 years of experience. I also have natural curly hair. I let a stylist cut my hair with a razor and I found I would never have a razor to my hair again unless I was having a short hair cut. I will never have thinning shears cut on my hair either. I found that with my coarse hair that a razor and thinning shears only caused more spit ends. Find a hairstylist that has natural curly hair because they have a clue as to how to cut your hair.
Will curly hair recover after using thinning scissors?
I needed this video! It's sooo hard to find a video about curly hair from someone with curls like mine. They're uneven and wavy and different all the time. This was golden x
Actually I've been cutting a unicorn for many yearssss alone at home with a blade, then correct the ends with the scissor, they are as i want.
Your hair color is brilliant 😍
thank you! and you are brave for doing your own hair, and I'm glad it's working out well for you xx
Some pictures would be nice cuz I have no idea what these haircuts are
I’m surprised you aren’t a hairdresser. You seem so incredibly knowledgeable on hair! I would love to know how you learned everything you know and how you developed your gorgeous hair style and philosophy
My older sister was a hairdresser and I was always around for her to practice on. I loved visiting her in the salon and feel like I grew up there. Later I met my bestie Rohan, who is also a hairdresser, and he gave me the haircut that changed my life. I never really knew I had curls until that haircut. He always says I inspire him with my styling though (which is very kind of him) and I've also learnt so much through trial and error. My philosophy is that beauty should be fun and I'm super lazy so I like things to be quick too 😉 xx
Ok so I followed her advice and cut my 3b hairs today with wet cut. It looks so much better after drying and I have been cutting my hairs for 5 years now and I would say this is what works best for me. Thank u so much 😊😊😊
Great info! I flat out tell any hairdresser..."NO THINNING SHEARS EVER! My current (& fav) HD has curly hair too so she totally understand my hair. She uses her scissors & a razor!
thank you! Sometimes a razor in the right hands can work but I still get feather-y 80s hair vibes from them xx
It's *awesome* when you can find someone who knows their way around curly hair with a razor!
My very best haircut was by an Aveda hairdresser at a hair class for a salon. He knew exactly how to work with my hair, and only used the razor around the crown. It even grew out beautifully. And yup, he had curly hair, too. He got it.
Annnnd, the very worst cut I've had was three months later, with a woman at the salon who apparently slept during that class. We're talkin' weed wacker levels of hackery.
So happy you found someone who understand how to use a razor!! That is worth its weight in gold. I think from now on, I'm going to call and ask "Which hairdresser has and wears her hair curly?" I'm sorry, but taking a few classes about curly hair just doesn't cut it.
Hehehe, get it...cut it? :D
I have had some really good bob's but it's long right now. The short hair is so bouncy, and its's hard to get that kind of movement with longer hair. I'm thinking of some kind of V or U cut now, I def need to go have it cut soon regardless.
Thank you for the tips. I got a bit scissor happy and cut layers that have turned out too heavy/ thick on the top that stop at my ears and then the longer layers seem much thinner. How can I correct that without losing the length??? Please help!!
Excellent topic! I remember those thinning scissors and shuddering
thanks! I've had some shocking cuts with those scissors! x
I have 2b/c hair which I need to have trimmed very soon. I've been getting cut in the 'U' shape which has worked best for my curly hair type, but the stylist has used thinning shears to thin out the bulk as my hair is extremely coarse and thick. I would like to avoid having that done as it leaves too many fuzzy pieces sticking out everywhere, but otherwise what is the best way to thin out thick hair? Don't want too much thinning out just enough to take away the bulk. Thanks!
You are so right about thinning scissors. I asked for a hairdresser with curly hair experience and she gave me one of the worst haircuts I've ever had. It took months to grow the style out but left an even longer mistrust of all hairstylist. When I finally went back to a different salon I once again left with my very frizzy but a least with longer layers. I had my best cut and style with a male stylist. I mentioned my other disasters and he couldn't believe a senior stylist did what she did.
Tbh if you want to find the best hairdresser for curly hair you just need to explore and find one that actually has naturally curly hair, some have done courses on how to cut curly hair but i personally believe that the only person that will give you a cut that truly suits you is the one that has curly hair!
just my opinion and what ive found works best for me
@hairromance What reccomedations do you have for hair color...does lifting or coloring my hair hurt my curl pattern? My curls/waves are almost identical to yours!!
I finally did the big chop after transitioning for about a year and I was genuinely happy but I wanted to get it “professionally” fixed but she used thinning scissors on me and now I have to wait for my hair to heal back again 🙄
I have 2b/2c hair. What works for me is cutting it straightened, dry (of course). I cut angled face framing layers from cheekbones to the tips of the length. Like an elongated bowl cut.
I'm getting older and my hair is getting thinner. It is all the same length and very long. I would like to have more layers in my hair. What cut do you recommend ?
Definitely it’s about learning your hair patterns for types of hair cuts! I used to go for the V cut in my teens but it wasn’t good for my hair as the underneath ends up sitting straighter and the short parts of my hair (and the parts closer to my face) were much more curly, so it would look like a weird long curl mullet 😝
if the V is too sharp, it can definitely turn into a bit of a mullet! 😂
That's exactly what happened to me too 😂
Wow you must be a mind reader! because I was just looking up curly hair cuts since I'm getting a haircut soon
Snap! Answering questions before you even ask them 😉
Thank you for being honest and saving me ALLOT of money.
I have maybe 2c or 3a hair, it's honestly a mix because I have waves AND curls on my head hahah, I never had a layered haircut because it's difficult to grow it out and I'm scared that it won't suit me... Do you think my curls will have more definition if I get layers?
I do a home-cut. I have fingertip length wavy/curly hair. I make a ponytail on the top of my head and cut a bit off, on dry, end of the week (pre-wash) hair, when my waves have sagged out and I can easily brush through it. My last trim was November 2016, when I was hip length. I grew it out to fingertip in about 2 years. I got the idea for the cut from a book called, Haircutting for dummies". There's another technique in there, and that is making a ponytail on the top of your head and cutting a chunk off. I prefer the other way. I have a deep V and layers all the way from hip to fingertip. It really shines on hair that is textured. I think Lana Summer here on YT has that same cut, but she has much tighter curls. She also has a video on it. These cuts aren't bad, but you have to do them on hair that is *at least* bra strap to waist length. Shorter and you'll have 80s rocker dude vibes. ;)
good point, I can see how they are easier in really long hair but I am nervous to promote any home haircuts. I don't want anyone sending me a photo of a mullet and saying I told them to do it 😂🙊🙈
@@Hairromance, I can see why you are hesitant. These cuts only work in really long hair, IMMHO.
Ugh yes.... I got my hair thinned out, it looks awful and it's been months and it's still crap. Now I'm looking at getting a perm just to try and add some of my waves and curls to the top section of my hair 😫😩😫
I've had my hair dresser do the unicorn cut on me and I loved it! I might recommend it of you have someone who knows what their doing, but not if you plan on doing it yourself!
definitely leave it to the professionals! x
I so wish I had the courage to go back to my short curly bob I had in my early 20s! We had practically the same haircut ♡
My hair is mostly tight waves most of my curls fell out as i got older. I have had my hair long for a few years now it's at the middle of my back . And i haven't had layers in years, but i am ready for a different style. I need a good trim i think I'm gonna take off 4 inches get layers and have face framing i use to get my hair feathered towards my face i might do that again. But i am very nervous, I stopped going to hair dressers cause i was never happy .
I love your channel!! And your hair is sooooo beautiful!🤩👌❤️ I agreed with everything in this video and am so glad you make them. I have done a unicorn cut and can say it would not work for cutting a big length change but if you take off and inch it gives really pretty layers. Thankyou and please keep making vids ! ❤️
Edit: I have very similar hair sort of 3a with few 2c waves
I am having curly hair n chubby face which hairstyle is good ? Please suggest me
Can someone explain to me the difference between a v/u cut vs the unicorn cut, because to me they seem like you end up with similar layers? 🙈
what products do you use for styling? My texture is similar to yours a d I'm always looking for something better! a lot of products are too crunchy or heavy, as my hair is fine.
I’ve read sooo many clips re: curly or wavy hair and use it myself: Morracan Oil curl creme when hair is damp…It’s AMAZING!!♥️
I have a u/v shape hair cut, but without the layers. I had layers all my life and started to really dislike them. I just recently found out I have wavey hair ant it looks good with this hair cut, had loads of compliments already.
sounds great! x
If I haven't already commented here before, thinning scissors are the devil.
Will curly hair recover after using thinning scissors? I stupidly let my hairdresser thin my hair last time and I regret it so bad 😩
@@nandeetaprasad7763 It will probably take some time, unfortunately. I don't know the exact timeline since every texture is different (I'm wavy and I seem to remember it took months for me).
I was about to get my hair thinned lol
any recommendations in Sydney? I've only found extremely expensive spots that I simply cannot afford, but I still need a decent curly haircut
Selena i have had my hair cut in two “curly hair salons” and have been very unhappy with both...... still looking
My hair is natural curly but in the past few years it's mostly wavy now . I haven't cut it in years, I was thinking of getting layers again. My hair is so heavy and is driving me crazy . I just hate it when I get layers that are choppy looking. I'm afraid to go get it done but i think I need it.
Hi there! What style is your hair cut? V shape layered or?
I just found your channel and your hair type is EXACTLY like mine it’s like looking at my own hair.
For me the V or U shape cut gives me a tail curl... as the hair in the center back is not resting on my shoulders so ends up a longer curl when I let it dry naturally
Was tempted to do a unicorn haircut and was looking for a good tutorial video. Good thing I watched this first.
I have only just started looking into how to let my natural wave shine as it's naturally so frizzy if I do nothing with it. My hair dresser thins my hair with those thinning scissors all the time!! She says it's to take some of the weight out... I thought by using these scissors it would be making my hair less triangle shaped. What's a better way to prevent that?
Tell her you want to grow it out and you don't want her to use the thinning scissors so that it'll all be one length when you try a new style. Then for the next several visits you tell her "Just clean up the ends, I haven't decided on my new style yet!" You could also have her watch this video with you. Or get her a copy of that Curly Girl method book. Or go to NaturallyCurly.com or Ouidad.com and look for recommended hairdressers in your area, and get a new HD! Best of luck to you!
Omg I’ve had those awful thinning scissors that took a year for my hair to recover! I’ve also had that unicorn cut (didn’t know it was a term) by a hairdresser in the 90s. The things we do go through 🤦🏻♀️💇🏻♀️
we curly girls have SO many bad hair stories! 😂
My hairdresser always cuts my curly hair wet and usually I have a crazy hair cut by the end or I have to get a small trim and not try anything new.
I have naturally curly hair, i have the best hairdresser i've been going to for over 15 years who uses the Ouidad method, carving and slice technique..
So jealous. I haven’t been to the same stylist more than once since I was in middleschool 😩
This was really informative! Thank you!
I've had a few Devacuts in my time...they were OK - looked pretty good BUT with the Devacut you're stuck in that if you want to go straight it looks really off. So I've just gone back to long layers...gives me more flexibility since I waffle so much on curly vs. straight.
long layers are the best, so versatile! x
Please share how you get your height and how you dry your hair please.
Wet cut! Mine, like yours varies day to day, so I don’t think I’d try a dry cut. And yes to long layers!
thanks! My curls have a mind of their own and change so much! x
My hair has turned curlier after chemo...still trying to figure it out. I am having a hard tine deciding what hair cut to try. For now, I have asked to straight bu I think I will try the u shape you suggest...I think it will look best when I try to straighten it. Thank you
hope you're feeling ok now! The U shape is really versatile and long layers work great in curly and straight hair xx
Hair Romance thank you. I am now 3 years out and NED (no evidence of disease). Doing well. I appreciate your great advice as I get used to to my new hair😀
that's awesome! xx
Oh! Thank you so much Christina! By the way, i also love cheese and ricotta is really my last name (i’m brazilian but with Italian grandparents). I actually ASKED for thinning scissors once, thinking it would work for me (sometimes my hair ends up in a funny triangle shape). Obviously it didn’t work so never again! I also like to have it cut wet with long layers, shoulder length. I have already adopted your tips on gel cast and photographing my own haircut when it looks great. Sorry for the long text 😉
I LOVE your name!!! I'm half-Italian too and cheese is life for me 😊 Hope this helps and thanks for asking such a great question xx
Which hairdresser do you go? I had many bad experience with my hair. At the moment I'm letting my hair grow because of a bad hair cut.
Hi! I go to Stevie English Hair and the team are great. Zoe, Leah and Sadie have all cut my hair there and they're fab x
Thanks a lot!
How do you get your fringe area to look so awesome?
Ive got a question - I burnt the 🤬 out of my hair a year ago using dry shampoo before I used a straightener. Is there a difference in a straightener & a curling wand as far as the risk of burning hair??? I will note that my straightener was at the highest temp at the time... Thanks in advance if you respond! I just found you today & am IN LOVE with your hair & SO GRATEFUL I found you!!! ❤️ I've got a LOT to learn! Thanks for the videos!! ❤️ curly hair love from west palm beach FL ❤️😉
Hi Stephanie! Great question and usually straighteners are higher heat and also a little more damaging as your hair is sandwiched between two plates. With a curling wand you only have heat coming from one side of the hair so it's a little more gentle.
I've been there and burnt off half my hair when I was obsessed with my straightener. It takes time but your hair will recover and grow back 💛💛💛
I like long layers also for a hair cut. I might consider doing the Vcut is my hair dresser can do the v cut.
the V-cut has a lot of layers, you could try the U-cut and see how it goes and if you want more layers, then go for the V-cut xx
A beautician brought to my attention the cut for crly hair is a ribbon cut? Whats the name of that? Whats your thoughts? As far as as shape for course thick Whats my best option ?
Hi Christina, I've just found your fab channel and wanted to send a hello & ask a question from here in the UK. I used to have hair very similar to yours, but unfortunately, a combination of menopause and some very serious health issues, has meant that my once super-thick, very curly hair has lost its volume &, more importantly, my curls have vanished. It really is like a different head of hair. I was a typical red-headed pre-raphaelite curly girl, now my hair is limp and pretty straight. I had it cut to just above shoulder length in the hope that less weight would give me some semblance of curl, but it hasn't worked, & I miss my hair! I realise you're a thousand years younger than me, I'm the grand old age of 53, but I just wondered, with your knowledge and contacts with hairdressers who understand curls, whether you knew of any way I could restore at least a little of my former curliness? I have done some research into hair changes in menopause, & apparently, it's not uncommon for curly hair to become straight & vice versa, but I'm stubborn and don't want to give up just yet. Thanks for the most interesting videos, I'm very glad I stumbled across your channel. Yolanda x
Thanks Yolanda! It's true that hormone changes can take a huge toll on our hair. Hope you're doing ok now. Your hair can recover, but it can take a long time. I'd check with your doctor but hair supplements (like Viviscal) can help, and massage your scalp every day. It feels great but it can help your hair to grow too. Good luck xx
I also lost my thick, healthy hair due to an illness but after taking a ton of supplements for a year it grew back, prettier and curlier than ever! I can't go anywhere now without people telling me how beautiful my hair is. You could do it too!
@@laralwilde what supplements did you use, if you can please share?
There were so many great tips in this video! Thanks for all the advice. Also, I LOVE the throwback pic of you! I'd love to see more pics of your many hairstyles from the past.
Hi Christina! I just saw this last night and I have a question I hope you would answer. I have fine, curly/wavy hair and I need to know if when having my hair in layers (just above shoulder length at this time) can these layers start at my cheekbone area? So many of the stylist say that I can't do that because it will curl up too much. I've decided at age 59, to finally embrace my curly hair. It's not coarse and it's not thick and not an even curl all around, probably more wavy with curls (not sure if that makes sense). Anyhooo, my daughter is a hairstylist but definitely doesn't cut a lot of curly hair so I don't mind her learning on my hair (she's been doing hair now for about 5 years - she's 26 now). Yes she has used that razor thing on my hair too which I thought was ok. I will going forward ask her not to use it but I keep telling her and many others who have in the past where I want my layers to start and all have fought me on it. So, Is it okay to start my layers at my cheekbone to help my hair curl better? (I usually NEVER use a hairdryer any more, just don't want to deal with it. Please advise if you can. Sorry for the lengthy comment. Thank you
A little late, but I've got fine, thin curly hair. I've done layers "all over" for years and always have my shortest start at cheek bones. When short, my hair doesn't kink up as much. So those short pieces end up a little more relaxed and looser waves. The layers end up creating a round shape around my face...no "triangle" head etc. I don't see why your curls would have any issues if your layers started at your cheekbones...just think about how your curls react at various lengths and how would they all flow together with the end cut
I wish I looked at this video before I ran into my appt. I knew not to let the hairstylist use thinning scissors in my hair, but it had been 5 months since I had gotten a desperately-needed haircut. I also only just started to learn how to take care of my curly hair 5 months ago, having straightened it all my life. So I had FORGOTTEN about those thinning sheers. I sat there wondering to myself... was I supposed to avoid those or not bcs I can’t rmbr. I’m just... crying now (not literally) bcs all I had to do was just look it up or see a vid to recall what to do. I got too desperate with getting a haircut. -_-“ smh. I’ll have to fix this in 3 months when my hair grows out some more. It’s already too short to cut some more. 😭
My thinning hair scissors experience wasn’t good, it ended up cutting way too much.
Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information with us for that we are immensely grateful 🍀🌸😘🌺😍🌹🙏👍
thank you! x
Frizzy hair is more pronounced when I get layers
Hate layers
When it's more one length it is much more manageable
over the last 6yrs... I have had to grow out my hair soo many times. a shoulder length shag. no higher than the ear as starting point I cant beleive only one lady knew how to do it she just left one day and cant find her very frustrating my hair will do it
I've always had mine cut when wet and I've always noticed a section of hair in the back that looks inches longer than the rest of my hair once it dries, because that section isn't as curly. So I have been thinking of a dry cut but it scares me. @.@ No one around here knows anything about curly hair
OMGGG I’ve been looking for someone with the same problem that I had. I got layers and the hair in the back was kinder than in the front so I had to keep on getting more layers to even it out.
i have 2b/2c hair and i’m scared that if i get layers i’ll loose my waves and little curls. any tips to reassure me. xxx
Sienna Bullen actually atleast for myself layers have quite amplified my wavy curly hair, I have very thick hair and often times without layers my hair is weighed down and flat
My hair is super heavy and thick , if I got layers my wavy hair would probably curl up more. Heavy hair ways down your curls. I haven't cut my hair in years I'm scared cause I'm afraid of getting a bad haircut again. But remember hair does grows back, I think I'm gonna do it cause it's driving me crazy .
I had recently gotten my hair trimmed and talked to her about naturally accentuating my curly and she lightened it and since then my curls have been very bouncy and cuter
You bleach your hair?
Lexie Lowery no it’s kind of like getting it thinned
And just yesterday I was telling you that my hair was telling me “bitch, I need a haircut” 😂 thank you!!!
haha! We're so in sync! 😉
Your hair has anger issues.....🤨🤨🤨🤨
Patrice Confer 😂😂😂 that’s because it’s curly.
Am i the only one whos hair gets curlier the longer it is? Its 2B/2C at shoulder length and 3A/3B when it reaches bra strap length. I have trouble explaining this to hairdressers, they cut the top layers of my hair short and the curls drop and look terrible.....
I have super curly hair. I want your hair!!!!❤️
Am really finding it hard to find a good hairdresser that knows how to cut my curly hair. Can you recommend anyone in Western Sydney?
Salon Kiin are in Penrith, is that close to you? Maria & her team are great and they do free consultations too xx
Thank you so much! I'll give them a call ☺️
Hair Romance omfg thank god, i have been to two of the most well know curly hair salons and have been very disappointed
I tried the unicorn cut when I had no other option. Do not recommend! It didn't even look too bad but it was super uneven which became noticeable when I put my hair up. I also accidentally took too much off.
it's so hard to judge how much you're cutting, thanks for backing me up on this one xx
Need to see some pictures of haircut styles and techniques
sorry just added some photos of my hair that I took. I have lots of hair inspo on Pinterest that you can use here as a reference - www.pinterest.com.au/hairromance/curly-hair-romance/ xx
Hair Romance Awesome, thanks alot..its hard to find good tutorials and pics for haircuts for naturallly curly hair that look stylish that dont look poodlish or poofy😄
Hi, love your videos! Thank you for all the great info. I recently discovered (yup, feel free to laugh) that my hair is not naturally straight but more of a 2c-3a wavy. My question is, would it be awkward to take my own shampoo/conditioner/styling product to my haircut? I mean, would that offend my hair stylist? I'm planning on wet haircut with my regular hair stylist that I've known for years. Thank you very much for your time.
I won't laugh - the same thing happened to me! It's fine to bring in your own products and I'd explain it to your hairdresser during your consultation. I assume you're avoiding silicones so make sure they don't use any extra prods when styling. But if they do, don't worry, you can just shampoo and you'll be fine to restyle when you get home. Oh and even if your hairdresser understands, just check with other salon staff as they can be really busy and may use something different at the basin if you don't remind them. Good luck! x
I've been doing this for years as sulfate shampoos (and any minty ones) irritated my scalp. Don't come near me with mint! I never encountered any issues. Or I would ask them nicely to not use these things.
@@Hairromance thank you so much for your response. ❤
I always bring my own hair products to the salon, OR I wash my hair at home and then go for a cut. I'm particular about what is put into my hair, and wouldn't expect the salon to carry and use exactly what I use. I don't worry about them being offended (though they never have been), because it is MY hair!
I brought my own products to the salon last time and they totally understood that I was avoiding silicones.
I have had bad experiences with thinning shears, aka texturizing shears. Just recently had my hair color done and this new hairdresser insisted it would be ok to use them! Didn’t let her cut my hair🤣. Had a dry Devacurl cut done a couple of weeks ago. Already don’t like how it looks, seemed ok at the salon but now it’s looking uneven and weird. Now I don’t know what to do 😱. Before this haircut I was going to someone else who cut my hair wet. I’m so confused 🤷🏻♀️
Good call on not letting her cut your hair! And sorry that the Devacut isn't working out. Can you go back to your old salon? xx
Hair Romance Yeah I could go back to the other salon but I thought it didn’t look great when I had it cut there. I’ve changed hairdressers a lot recently 🥺
well don't go back if you weren't happy, ask around and find someone with a good haircut and see where they go. I know it sounds weird, but I often stop women with good hair in the street and ask who cuts their hair so I can keep a list of good salons to recommend. They are always flattered and are happy to share :) xx
Hair Romance thanks I’m going back this weekend to this last hairdresser who just cut my hair 2.5 weeks ago and will see if she can fix it.
I actually just cancelled my Deva cut. The price ($$$!), the wait, the travel time and THEN..what you are saying, the unevenness of it all!! I'd be so upset to have spent all that money to only NOT love my hair, which I saw coming, so I cancelled. My expectations were just too high for anyone to match. I'll stick with my wet haircut. I don't have the thick spiral curls anyway. I just ordered a few Deva products, which I am so far, very happy with and saved a bundle!!
I really enjoyed this video. Thanks!
The Unicorn cut?! I have to laugh! Back in the very early seventies, my friend and I decided to Shag our own hair. We did exactly what you said, or rather she did because she went first. When I saw her finished product, I said oh hell no I'm not doing that to my hair!! She was really mad at me for not going through with the deal, but my hair is very curly, as opposed to hers, and I knew it was going to be a nightmare for me, plus her hair looked absolutely terrible! I did end up paying for a shag haircut not long after that, and it was a total disaster. But I know it would have been a whole lot worse if I had done that unicorn cut when my friend did hers. So 50 years later, and nothing has changed! People still giving themselves bad home haircuts!
LOL! That story is GOLD. Wise move going second 😉 I see SO MANY haircut videos on youtube. I just wonder if people are doing it badly on purpose to make a fail video for the views...
I am doing that type of cut at home since no hairdresser has ever given me a good layered haircut. It works for me but I was never fond of tidy haircuts at my curly thick hair. So I guess to each their own
tnx
You are beautiful and your tips are amazing. I have naturally wavy hair and I can't wait to try your ideas! Please do a makeup video.
thank you! I think I'd be terrible at makeup videos but I could try. Honestly, just watch Lisa Eldridge, she's amazing. I tried this look based on her recent bronzey makeup tutorial xx

Does curly hair shortens hair length?
Omg I hate thinning scissors! Thank u for that:)
Your hair is beautiful!
thank you so much xx
May I ask if your color is going on natural grey hair? And what is your color and are you blonde not grey?
Hi! My hair is brown, about a level 6 I think so kind of dark. I also have a lot of grey now around the front too. As a kid I had blonde hair that went brown when I was a teenager. I haven't really seen my natural hair colour in a long time though hahahah
I have 2b, 2c and even some 3a level waves in my hair. My hair is thinner, low porosity and fine. And angled bob is working for me right now...pretty well actually. But I am now in the process of growing out the layers and to right above my shoulders...as I figured out that longer ,lightly layered waves are fuller for me.
love an angled bob, but long layers are so easy to manage. Good luck growing your hair xx
Curls to die for! 😍
Yup, the hairdresser used thinning scissors a TON in my last cut and for the longest time I couldn't figure out why my curls just weren't looking like they used to... :(
I got a v cut when I was wearing my hair straight. Now that I am wearing it naturally (2c/3a curls) it looks even better!
Yay an Aussie.. So now I can breathe and understand u 😂
gday! LOL I never really say that 😂 xx
Oiiiii listen mate.. I am from Australia and gday is used often. (honestly I don't speak like this but wanted to play along Hehe) It's more of a bogan that speaks that way :)
Thinning scissors are really necessary for my very thick, coarse hair. Without them I end up with bushy looking hair. I also end up with headaches.
I had a ouidad cut a while back and HATED IT. It's very hard to get a good cut for us curly girls .
Just a clarification question; When you say long layers are you talking about the length of the layers themselves or are you reffering to the distance between the layers? I found at that when proffesionals say long layers they're actually talking about the distance between layers.
In a pinch I'll do the unicorn cut at home...but I don't cut at the base of the ponytail. No no no I didn't even know that's what people did, it seems so obvious to me that cutting THAT short would look so horrible. No I put my freshly washed and combed hair into a unicorn ponytail, then I add a second elastic closer to the ends, at whatever length I want to remove. So I only cut off a couple inches. And I only do this if I really need a trim but am too lazy or can't afford to go to a salon that month. It does the job, but isn't the absolute best option for my hair, so I try to only do a unicorn trim once between salon visits.
I never knew thinning shears was bad. My hair is thick, but maybe they are making my hair more frizzy
Why didn't you show some examples of the techniques you referred to?
My hair type is like yours.
What products do you use for your beautiful hair?
Tomorrow's video has a list of all the prods I use :) x
Hair Romance: ok. Looking forward to the video. Thank you.😊
I use a Creaclip on dry hair and I do not straighten my hair ever before cutting. I only do a long layer and then a second layer of just my crown of my head and I cut this 1 inch shorter than the previous layer. My cut comes out perfect. It would be very expensive for me to get this kind of a cut from a stylist in a salon. Most stylists either could not or will not give me this kind of layered cut. The cut would be u uneven and I would have to go home and recut my hair to make it even. Easier to just use the Creaclip!!
What's a creaclip?
@@Hairromance it is a clip you put your hair in to cut your hair. Best to look it up online and watch the videos that demonstrate how to use them.
Hi ! I was wondering what are your thoughts on bangs when having wavy / curly hair ? ☺️
ooh good question! I'm loving curly bangs at the moment. I think they can look really cute xx
Hair Romance I find them really cute as well but I’m so scared to have something extra frizzy and not super cute because my face bone structure is a bit round / square
It's definitely a risk. I think I like them more on other people than if I had to style them every day! I like to have a few face framing layers but I don't think I could do short bangs. Sometimes I style my hair with faux bangs which is fun x
