The world is opening back up, we’re slowly breaking away from our deep-seated quarantine habits, and now is the perfect time to treat yourself and your curls to a salon visit for a new look. Whether you’re just looking to shed those accumulating split ends before you make your debut, or you’re craving a complete transformation, this summer will be one for the books in terms of styles and cuts.
One trendy cutting technique that continues to reshape curls and the natural hair movement is the Rëzo cut, the brainchild of stylist and curl expert Nubia Suarez, made with every texture in-mind. Nubia says the star qualities of the Rëzo cut process are that it “…maintains an even length all the way around your head” and “…liberates the curls from the root area so they can move about freely.” This makes for an even length to your hair when it’s curly and when it’s straight. If that sounds good to you, you should know that the cut looks even better–and did we mention it’s compatible with all textures?
To make it easier for you to decide on your potential new lewk, we’ve thought ahead and gathered a round-up of 15 Rëzo cuts to scroll through before you call up your stylist.

12. Deep Side Part
The deep side part in this style by Lacie gives the illusion that it’s asymmetrical, although it’s actually evenly cut. The versatility of Rëzo cuts just keeps on giving.

Briana got a cut from Nubia that lifted her hair up a bit at the roots, added body, and really defined those lovely curls.

14. Wispy Curls
Noemi really added movement to these already-pretty curls, and the curls loosened to give off more of a feathered and wispy appearance. The shoulder length is perfect if you want something on the shorter side, but without going all the way.
