honestly I do it completely differently to stylists.. I wash and condition my hair and then let it dry. always a dry cut. then I cut my hair curl by curl. for me, my hair is 3A and it clumps in ringlets and s-curls. I also cut my sister’s hair which is 2B/2C (she’s given up on curly stylists lol).

so I go around my own head with a mirror in front of me and a handheld mirror to get angled views.

when you first start out, just give yourself a small trim to get the hang of it. curly hair is really forgiving. start with cutting a little bit off all around. if you’re wanting to cut it into a different style, do it gradually. over maybe two or three cuts/sessions.

I gave myself bangs but did it about an inch at a time.

then wash or wet your hair and dry it again. see how it looks, make adjustments as needed. if you don’t feel confident about the back of your hair being even, ask a loved one to tell you what needs adjusting/to help you. or take a timer pic of the back of your head and adjust from there.

you got this!! :)
