Angling Curly Hair for Cutting

Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Lizbeth Muller from Liz's Hair Design in Hollywood, Florida, and today we're going to show you how to cut curly hair. Now, I make sure that I cut everything back here straight across, as you see. Look at that. It's very nice and neat. You can see that. I'll show you on my hands if I can just so you can get an idea because the cape is dark. Make sure, like I said, that the first layer and everything is just right. It tends to pop up. What happens with curly hair is sometimes the top layer looks a little shorter. If you press too hard as you're cutting, the top layer just pops up. If you'd like, what you do when you are cutting the back a little bit, just release your hand a little bit and angle it. If you're down here, as you're cutting it, just leave a little bit. Just a tad longer on the top layer. I find that's easier and nice when you have curly hair. I have curly. Believe me, when you do it that way, in my experience, the hair looks a little bit more even and it turns out more even. We're going to go ahead to the side of the head now."
