Own Your Curls!!

Take a look at the before shot.

This is a perfect example of what can happen to people with thick, coarse and curly hair. Her hair has gotten too long and has lost any shape without visible layering.

She's sporting a very triangular cut, which means that it is being pulled flat to her head at the scalp due to excess weight with bulk in the ends due to the lack of layering. The excess weight is also hiding her beautiful curl pattern, which is a total shame. This can actually make you look harder and older than you actually are.

Now, notice the after shot.

BAM!

This cut is very beneficial to a person with hair of her density and texture. She absolutely needed to remove some length to make her curls bounce back into shape and just as important was the adding of layers.

I added quite a few layers to remove bulk and weight from the upper portion of her hair. This fixes the flatness and creates volume. Then I gave her many flowing layers that are blended between the shortest layer and her perimeter length (bottom layer).

Not only did I establish these layers to get rid of her triangular shape, but I textured them in order to bring out her natural curl pattern and direct their flow. Now all she needs to do is apply curl cream from root to tip, air dry or diffuse and GO!
