How did you learn to cut curly hair?

Through continued education both online offered through product lines catering to curly textures, and classes offered in the area

What's your technique?

I first ensure proper and even moisture throughout the strands by applying H2O and product prior to cutting. Then by taking small sections, I establish my guide, being mindful of my tension while cutting. I never forget that the way that hair behaves while wet will not be my finished result, so I always err on the side of not being overzealous when cutting the length.

What products do you like best?
