Does your hairdresser tell you to wash your hair in the salon every time you go for a haircut? But, did you know that you don't really need to get wet for all hair styles or cuts? If this sounds weird to you because your stylist always does the opposite, let beauty and hair expert Janet Fernandez break it down for you. Here s when you should cut your hair wet.
Hair cuts to be done on dry hair
If you plan to wear your natural curls or waves, then your best bet is to leave your hair dry. Trimming your hair dry can allow the stylist to pay closer attention to the pattern of your curls and cut them in a way that will enhance the look of the locks. Also, if your hair is thicker on one side than the other, cutting your hair when it is dry can allow your stylist to notice how the hair is falling and cut it accordingly. These 4 styling mistakes could cause hair fall.
Hair cuts to be done on wet hair
If you want a hair cut that is all in one length, getting your hair wet can be your best snip strategy. It can be one of the best ways to get that clean, precise cut. It can also be an excellent method for pixie cuts as any bend at the root during the trimming process can throw off your hairstyle making it look uneven and short. These are the 5 on-the-go hairstyles for curly hair.
Protip-- Also remember that if your locks are frizzy you need to refrain from blowing your hair dry after getting the hair cut done. Adding heat to already existing dry hair not only increases the problem, but also leads your hair to break and increases the chances of split ends. However, if you want to use a blow dryer for curly hair, remember to use a diffuser and dry by cupping hair from below with your hands.
So the next time you go for a hair cut, tell your stylist exactly what you are looking for and how you would like to wear your hair!
