Dry Haircuts

A dry cut is a type of haircut done on dry hair— a method is preferred by many with curly, kinky and wavy hair. A dry cut is done on completely or mostly dry hair in order to give the stylist a clear picture of what the cut will look like when hair is not wet. When hair is saturated with water, curls and waves often change shape. Learn more about dry haircut philosophies—we've got articles, tips, photos, videos and how-tos.
