But my last two cuts were very very lazy, cuts um, and i knew that because i didn't take the extra time to like really perfect the cut, and so i was left with a little bit of unevenness.

What kind of cut did i get? You ask? I got a diva cut. Let'S take a quick look at my salon experience before jumping into the details of this cut. It'S been two years since i have had a professional, curly haircut and today is the day due to major protein overload. My hair was damaged really bad a couple years ago and i've been growing it out for the last two years and doing my own cuts. But it's time to get rid of those last few inches of damaged hair and to get a really good shape up. And i'm so excited because i went to a new salon today. This is bombshell and it is so stinking cute. I saw the bowl of bubble gum. I knew this was the place for me. This is my stylist tiziana. She is a master curly stylist. She showed her multiple pictures of different curly hairstyles that i knew i kind of wanted my hair to look like, and she took those and ran with. These are the results and i absolutely love how it turned out. She gave me a nice blunt cut, which is what i like, because it makes the bottom of my hair look a lot thicker than what it is. She gave me tons and tons of layers and a more rounded shape, and that's the style that i really like when i'm getting a professional curly cut, i think it turned out perfect and i'll definitely be going back just the word. Diva, i feel like gives us ptsd, even though diva curl was cancelled. Diva cuts are not canceled, because it's not a product right. It'S it's simply a way of cutting the hair to get a beautiful shape and i had not had a diva cut in probably three two and a half three years i did get a resource cut. Was the last like professional haircut that i got, and i did like that, i didn't like the shape as much as i like the diva cut. So i was struggling because i didn't want to have to drive an hour or more to a stylist. So i did some research and tried to find out if i could find a curly stylus that was closer to me and it is very difficult to find a lot of curly stylus, like stylus, said specialized and curly hair stylists that have had training specifically for curls. Yes, you can get your hair cut. If you have curly hair, you can get it cut. Just like someone with straight hair. Does you can get a wet layered look, however, you want to get it cut, but i find cutting it dry gives my hair the best shape. You really know how your curls are going to lay. You know how they're going to spring up because you're getting it cut in its curly state, so there are no surprises. That'S just how i like to uh, get my hair cut, or whenever i was doing my own cuts. That'S how i like to cut it. I cut it dry and it's curly state. I live around the richmond virginia area, so i went on to instagram and i started typing in curly, stylist, rva, um or rva curly specialist. I just started doing a bunch of different searches and i found a curly hair specialist. That is only 25 minutes from me. The first thing you want to do when you find a curly stylist is: do your research make sure that you're going to their instagram page make sure that if they have a website, go to their website, look at their before and after pictures make sure that you're Seeing curly clients of theirs before and after pictures, so that you know that this person is actually good with curly hair. This particular person is a master stylist. She went to new york to the divashon salon and got certified years ago, plus she had tons of before and after pictures. So i felt very confident going into this appointment that i was going to come out with a good haircut. The next thing i did was search for pictures that had curly hairstyles that mimicked what i wanted now i know my curls, so i have very realistic goals in mind when i'm going in to get a haircut if you have very fine, very thin hair and it's Wavy, you can't take a picture of someone. Who'S got very thick, thick hair that has very tight, curls and tell them. This is the the shape and the style that you want, because it's not going to translate. So we need to make sure that we have realistic goals going into a haircut. I'M going to show you on the screen now the pictures that i screenshotted to take into this stylus. I screenshot four different pictures, four different people, but all of the styles are similar in the shape that i was trying to achieve. I knew for me and my hair. I'Ve got thin fine hair. I don't have a ton of hair, even though it looks like i do, especially with it cut now and layered like it is um, but i don't have a lot of hair. So the way that i want to get my hair cut is to create the illusion that i have a lot more hair than what i really do. That means getting a very blunt bottom cut. I don't want any thinning happening in the bottom layers of my hair. I want it to be a very blunt level cut. I don't want a v-shape, i don't want to u-shape now, if my hair was longer than those shapes might look really good, but for me i want it very blunt, very straight bottom. That way it gives it gives the appearance of a heavier bottom uh layer, which makes my hair look thicker, because, with the rest of my hair, i need lots and lots of layers to give it that lift, give it that volume give it that lightness. So i keep that bottom layer very thick, very blunt and the rest of the shape i get a rounded shape, lots and lots and lots of layers. I like a more rounded shape on me. It fits my face. It fits it just fits me. I knew that going in these pictures of these hairstyles mimicked what i was trying to achieve plus. I relayed that in what i told her before we even started cutting, and she did exactly exactly what i asked her to do. I got all of that. Damage cut off the bottom, i am trying to grow my hair out. I want my hair to be longer, but i really needed to get rid of those last little dead ends from that damage from a couple years ago in order to grow healthier, thicker, prettier, hair. So that is exactly what i did and i could not be happier with the result. Like i love the layers, i love the volume i mean i'm in love with i'm in love with all of it, i'm in love with my new stylist. That is probably the biggest takeaway from this is finding a good stylist that you can really trust with your curls. I know that's the hardest part of getting a curly haircut is finding someone that really knows curls. Once you find someone that you love - and that knows your hair and knows how you want your hair cut, it makes all of the difference in the world. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome.
