loNG Curly Haircuts in Abingdon
Long curly hair can be sophisticated, beautiful, fashionable, edgy or all of the above! Our salon specialises in curly hair where we help clients to embrace their natural long curly hair as much as possible through the art of cutting, colouring or styling. When cutting long curly hair, our goal is to work with you to achieve the perfect cut to suit your own personal style, lifestyle and what works for you.
What makes long curly hair a challenge for most Hair Stylists?
Long curly hair often takes the form of different curl patterns. Often longer hair becomes weighted and therefore curls tend to be less defined taking shape of bigger, looser and in some cases straight hair. Most stylists can cut straight hair, yet their exposure to curly hair will be limited, so cutting curls that are different sizes on the same head of hair is challenging. Stylists need to be adept at managing the unpredictability of curls whilst not ‘getting lost’ and being able to visualise different curl patterns once cut and then how they will sit when dried.
Curly hair also tends to be more prone to dryness, frizz, and tangles so managing expectations while knowing how to look after and cut is a niche skill. Understanding the uniqueness and what curly hair and knowing the do’s and don’ts really support a great curly haircut.
What are my options for long curly hair?
There are several options designed to work with long curly hair.
- Arguably the most popular choice for long curly hair is introducing long layers. Long layers help in reducing excessive weight and greatly help by introducing movement and volume.
- A second option is face-framing layers. Face framing layers are the ‘front bits’ that you immediately see when looking in the mirror. These are shaped around the face, with a focus on framing facial features while preserving the length of the curls.
- If you’re wanting something edgy, the shag is an option if you want a modern take on this great throwback cut. It’s standout, offers a difference and while it’s not for everyone, it’s universally loved.
- A one length cut isn’t quite the same as a one length straight haircut insofar as curls take different forms. However whilst not ‘blunt’, a one length haircuts is easy to maintain, it’s low maintenance and require little upkeep!
Why is a long curly haircut any different?
Most haircuts can in some way be achieved on straight or curly hair, however the technique to achieve this usually differs. Most Hair Stylists won’t be able to cut curly hair due to lack of experience as it requires a different skill set. So finding a style that can cut hair in this way will utilise a different skill set and achieve a better overall hair.
