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.

Lock-In Moisture:
Protect your hair’s natural oils with
a gentle moisturizing shampoo,
cleansing cream or conditioner.

Control Frizz: Frizz occurs
when humid air penetrates the hair
shaft causing it to swell. The secret
is to use anti-humectant hair styling
and moisture sealing products.

Refresh your Curls: The key
is to use products that add just the
right amount of moisture to revive
the shape of your curl.
