Cut uneven layers and refine for a balanced result.


Common Beginner Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

A common mistake is cutting curls too short without considering shrinkage. Curly hair contracts when dry, so it is important to account for this when determining length. Another issue is uneven layering, which can disrupt the natural curl pattern. Proper sectioning helps maintain balance.

Over-thinning is another frequent problem. Excessive use of thinning scissors can reduce curl definition and weaken the structure. It is important to use these tools sparingly. Skipping preparation often leads to inconsistent results, so planning the layout before cutting is essential.
