How To Thin Out Curly Hair - Thesalonguy

You'Ve got curly, hair you've got wavy, hair you've got thick hair, but should you or how do you actually thin out curly hair? Well, i'm going to break down a few things that you need to know because you can actually destroy your hair if it's done improperly. So traditionally, on someone who's got thicker, hair right, say something like this, but the hair is very, very straight and you've got a lot of it. What i would do in my experience is i'd, go in maybe when the hair is dry and feel for where the areas are thick go in with a thinning shear make some chomps towards the ends and just really kind of feel for where the hair is very. Very thick and just kind of free flow and take out some of that bulk and because i've done this so many times, i can do it in a way where i know that i'm actually going to keep the shape and it's really going to do a phenomenal Job of removing that weight or that bulk, but when it comes to curly hair, if you were to take thinning, shears and just start chomping away at it what's happening, is you're actually destroying the curl pattern and you could cause the hair to get really really thin. Even like, what's happening in through here, look at that to get really really thin and straggly and frizzy and totally disrupt and destroy the curl pattern. Now, if your hair is this long and it's very very curly, then fine, you know that's what it is or if it's really really short, like, maybe even like this length, but you've got this type of awesome, curl. Okay, then you have to do the same. Exact type of approach, if now here's a big if and i've experienced this you have hair on top, that is curly or wavy, but you have it very, very short like this to where it's almost like an undercut on top, am i talking to you siri? Anybody have an iphone or an apple watch, all of a sudden randomly siri gets like picked up where i'm like what is going on. That'S what happens all the time. It'S very annoying, so you have hair like this on top, but your sides are much shorter. You can because you're keeping the hair so short you're, not really trying to wear or embrace the curls. Then. Yes, you can do techniques like this right where you go in and you thin it out with thinning short things here or you can use a razor right. This is a feather razor, a professional tool where you can actually go in like this and scrape the outer layer and that just removes a whole ton of bulk from the hair. A great technique on definitely uh thicker straight hair types. But if you are wearing a really really short thread here and you don't really care about showing off the curl, you can try. Those techniques and you'll have more much more success. But what happens is when you actually start to do that or even take a razor and go like this and scrape away at it. You know unless you're really making solid cuts to the hair. It'S just going to become very, very frizzy. So my suggestion - and i do this sometimes when i'm cutting curly hair or did cut curly hair is - and this really depends on you - you have to add a lot of layers. That is how you remove the weight right and create more shape is by adding layers, because what that's going to do layers layering is a technique designed to remove weight from the hair. So if i just look at this, you see all the the bulk down with you here now watch this when i lift look, what happens to all this simply just by lifting the hair like this look, how much thinner that is already and then, if i were To lay that on top we've got a much thinner shape or it's not so bulky. It may look fuller like more volume, but it removes all that weight on top of here. So the hair is much more free. Okay, then, if you put product in it, it's gon na look a lot. Look at that already it's looking like it's closer to the head. It'S a lot less bulky or thick. So that's one thing: it's just getting a different type of haircut. There are hair cutting methods like diva, curl and all sorts of other ones that really specialize in cutting curly hair. In my experience, especially with like a certain technique, a lot of times and i've actually tried to fix haircuts that were done with those techniques, they just take massive chunks out of certain sections, so you're getting hair. That'S like super short here. Super short underneath here. Super short, it does remove weight and i can see why it really works well on a lot of people, but i have had situations in my career where clients have come in and they say i've got this super short chunk under here. My hair's. All i hate it, i miss having the full i miss having my hair and having it be balanced. Yeah, i mean that's what happens when you do those techniques? What i also have done in my experience anytime, i'm trying to remove some weight or add more texture to curly hair. I would just free float on on dry hair. I'D look and feel where the bulk is and then maybe go in on the ends like this and cut from underneath. But the thing is that i'm doing is i'm making sure that i'm really focusing on the ends of the hair and i'm bringing all the hair up all right. Let me lower this down, so you can see sorry about that. I'M bringing all the hair upwards like this, and i'm looking for those straggly ends, i'm looking for that thin strand, okay and then what i'm doing is i'm going in removing that weight this way and just cutting it as blunt as i possibly can, because what that's Doing is it's keeping the the hair strand itself a much more blunt type of uh. Look, okay! So the minute you start to kind of take away from that and you start doing all sorts of crazy stuff where it's sliding, then that is going to actually be a tough situation. Okay, so i would rather have more layers in the hair and keep it as kind of i know it sounds like it's a contradiction to keep it as thick as possible, but still by removing the weight, and you keep it like that by just going in and Feeling and looking for where the hair is just super, super thin and straggly, and then what i'm doing right now is i'm actually removing weight, because i'm focusing on the internal shape - and you can see already just what that's doing you can see it's adding more life To the hair, and then if you want the hair to kind of tame down a bit, then spray some tidal wave right spray, some tidal wave in it uh or don't dry all the way or put like you know, uh a product in it like shadow or My blow dry cream or any sort of cream and then just scrunch the hair and let it dry naturally - and it's going to tame itself down all right, so you either have to embrace your curly hair. Don'T get you know, thinning, shears or don't try it don't. Try with a razor, you know, diva, curl or any of those techniques. Again it's taking chunks out of the hair, so be prepared for that or you could do what i just did and really focus on finding specific areas where you feel the ends are very dead. Lift cut, add some more shape to it and you're going to have a lot more success with it. So please share your story with me.
