When to Cut Curly Hair

Cuándo cortar el cabello rizado

Curly hair doesn't need cuts on the same schedule as straight hair. Honest answer: every 4 to 6 months for most curl types. Here's how to tell when your last cut has run out of life.

Signs Your Last Cut Is Done

Señales que tu corte terminó

Any two of the above mean it's time. All five and you've waited a couple months too long.

Schedule by Curl Type

Horario por tipo de rizo

Your individual range will be on the shorter or longer end depending on growth rate, density, and how much manipulation your hair gets.

Why Cuts Matter More Than Touch-Ups

Por qué los cortes importan más que retoques

On curly hair, the cut is where the shape lives. Color is decoration. The cut is structure.

If your routine has stopped working, often the issue is the cut, not the products. A new shape changes how the hair behaves more than a new product line ever will.

Cut Timing FAQs

Preguntas de tiempo

Can I just trim it myself?

For minor end maintenance, possibly. For shape work, no. The dry cutting technique that gives curly hair shape requires expert hands.

My hair doesn't grow. Should I still cut?

Yes. Hair grows. If it feels like it's not, often the ends are breaking off at the same rate it's growing. A cut breaks the cycle.

I just want length. Why cut?

Counterintuitively, hair grows more visibly with regular cuts because the ends stay strong and don't break off.

What about between full cuts?

Dusting (removing only the very ends) at home can extend full cuts. Yazmin will teach you when it's appropriate.

Spanish?

Fully bilingual.
