Best Hair cut for Long curly hair?

Question

I have long curly red hair and it's been cut in layers. My problem is, that it is so long that the weight pulls all the curl out so it's more wavy than curly. It is also flat and straight down to my ears.

I love my curls and want to work with what I have. I've spent years straightening and trying to make it do things that it just won't do.


I am looking for a cut that will give me volume on top as well as bring the curl back.

I don't like to spend a lot of time on my hair. I usually put a styling product in and scrunch.


Thanks,
Mel

Answer 1

as a curly haired girl myself(and i recently died it red...) le tme tell you this- you have like, the perfect curly hair, not oo much not too little.

now to answer your question, i recomend you get more layers, starting higher up your head, about chin length. some hair dressers may call those shorter ones angles. next, i'll say that the top part of your hair may need more help than just a cut, you may need to put a root-lifting product in it, they aren't hard to find, just walk down your hair care aisle and look for a root-lifting spray, that's how they come. finally, i'll tell you that to keep your curls from being wighed down, the two major things you need to do are condition with one that says it won't weigh your curls down, like loreal vive, and you need to trim your hair more often than others to keep the curl forming through the end.

I have the same problem when I grow my hair out...its the worst. The cut that works best for me is a shoulder length cut...slightly layered and its angled in the front (to give it a little style). It doesn't change how I style my hair either (just some styling product and my frizz-ease hair spray). If you want to keep your hair long you might want to try scrunching your hair while your head is flipped upside down that way it may not lay so flat on the top. That's how I use my hair spray (I flip my head upside down and spray so the curls set bouncy and not flat).

Answer 3

I would do more layers maybe starting at your shoulder if its really long. This will keep you from having the triangle look.

Answer 4

dont do too many layers unless you want it to look really poofy! Just stick to long layers and it will be more managable and you will have more styling options.
