4. Long Curly Shag
The long curly shag is designed to celebrate natural curls. This haircut enhances curl definition by removing weight and adding shape. Layers are essential to prevent curls from forming a triangle shape.
Before cutting, the stylist may cut the hair dry to see how the curls naturally fall. This technique ensures the layers support the curl pattern. Discuss your curl type and shrinkage level before the cut.
Preparation includes deep conditioning treatments to keep curls hydrated. Curly hair thrives when moisturized. After washing, apply a leave in conditioner and curl defining cream. Scrunch gently and allow hair to air dry or use a diffuser attachment.
Materials include a wide tooth comb, microfiber towel, leave in conditioner, curl cream, and diffuser. Avoid brushing dry curls as this causes frizz. Maintenance trims every eight to ten weeks keep the shape balanced. The long curly shag is perfect for embracing natural texture while maintaining length and volume.
