      Always, always, ALways, have your hair cut when hairs been straightened. That way it is will be the same length everywhere and you can see the mistakes at the salon, so she can correct it while there and the stylist will have an easier time working with it. You have an amazing head of hair!

    People don't understand that getting your hair cut curly is NOT FOR YOU if you ever ever intend on wearing your hair straight or blown out. Because it will look a mess. Straight hair looks good with clean, symmetrical lines. Since curly cuts randomly clip pieces off asymmetrically depending on how your curls are sitting THAT DAY, it won't translate well to straight hair.

    Really important to know that curly cuts are for women who only wear their hair curly. If you are gonna straighten your hair it will definitely be uneven. You can still get layers cut into your hair but not do a curly cut. Just tell your stylist you wear your hair both straight and curly. The type of layers you want (square, round or long) and some face framing .

    The thing about curly cuts is that is is meant for people that will always be wearing their hair curly and unfortunately depends on the curl pattern/tightness at the time of the cut. If you want your hair to look good straight you need to get a straight cut and then just spend more time styling when curly.
    Would you ever consider moving somewhere that has more curly hair care available? Like even the UK?

    • @AmberAnsah
      @AmberAnsah  2 ปีที่แล้ว +53

      Yes so true, I personally like to wear my hair curly but I flat iron my hair every once in a while. I just want my hair to look good as well when it's straightened. I would most definitely not move out of my country just so I can go to a curly hair salon more often 😂

    • @TheTjoy910
      @TheTjoy910 2 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      I feel like it's impossible to get a thorough cut when you get curly cuts because you can never trim all of your hair each time you want to trim it for health because there are 100 layers. Which can end up being really damaging in the end because when you get splits they'll just keep splitting because you cant cut all of the layers each time in a curly state. I never straighten my hair but I won't get curly cuts because it ends up looking cute in the beginning and later you realize (at least in my experience) the hair ends up being a hot uneven mess and you have to cut a lot to get the health back. I've had to end up doing a mini big chop after every curly cut I've gotten before I finally realized it wasn't good for my hair.

    • @AshPatch07

  • @juliecaron7569
    @juliecaron7569 2 ปีที่แล้ว +33

    THAT is exactly what happened to me when I had layered cut from a "curly hair stylist". They cut random "curls" at different heights supposedly to help with the curl pattern. At first it looks ok, but with time, it RUINED my hair and I had to cut almost 14 inches to fix it. You end up with split ends in the different hair layers because they are random layers and not even ones. So the same hair cannot be cut again the next time (because where do the layers end and start?) so it splits, breaks, and then your whole head ends up with split ends. I wish someone had shown me, told me NEVER TO LET ANYONE do that to my head! It took over 8 years to regrow, I've been miserable...Now, I ask for straight across same length in the back, with long layers to frame the face. That's it. I style the hair differently if I get bored with the cut, it is basically the only cut that lets my hair thrive.

    your stylist did a great job making the size uniform taking into account the different textures you have when your hair is in its natural state. I always use my curly so I prefer a dry cut because each curl shrinks to a different size, but before you cut it she should have explained that when it was straightened it would be completely unformatted so you could have made a more conscious choice about what you prefer 😥 desculpa pelo inglês kkkkk ainda estou aprendendo

    I make videos about this all the time, I commented on the video of her cutting your hair saying it would come out like this. You never cut curly hair wet only dry and straight. Curly hair swells when it’s WET and Straight hair swells when it’s DRY. When your hair swells it’s uneven if your hair is curly. You cut naturally STRAIGHT hair WET to get it as even as possible and CURLY hair when DRY & STRAIGHT as possible. The average person has 100,000 follicles on the scalp, each follicle has 1-4 strands . You have about 100k-400k strands on your head. Cutting your hairs wet was the wrong move in my professional opinion as a Cosmetologist for 16 years.

      I think the issue with cutting on straight hair is that curly hair shrinks a lot (and we typically have different curl types throughout our head) so its impossible to tell how the cut will look once its back to curly. Curly cuts are good if you wear you hair curly most of the time; straight cuts are better if you prefer to wear your hair straight. I wear my hair curly 99% of the time so it doesnt make sense for me to straighten my hair just to cut it, when my stylist can shape my dry curly hair better

    Wat ik meegekregen heb uit de krullen kapsalon hier in nederland is, dat als je kiest voor een krullen knip methode dat je dan je haar niet meer stijl kan dragen. Ze knippen namelijk iedere krul apart, iedere krul heeft een eigen krul patroon en daardoor ontstaat ongelijkheid in het haar. Voordat een krullen knip behandeling echt effect heeft is na 3 behandelingen. Dus het voordeel en nadeel van krullenknip behandelingen.. voordeel je krullen worden mooier, compacter etc, nadeel zodra je ze stijl/gestijld door stijltang draagt dan zie je verschillen in lengte.

    This video has shown me that we make mistakes with our natural hair but we can still bounce back from it. My hair is basically the same length it was about a year and a half ago, this is keeping in mind I had 4 trims last year and one of them was a major trim where I took off close to 4 Centimetres of hair . Now the aim is to get back to a place where I'm retaining length again. Thank you for being real with us, it's not easy to admit your mistakes

    LITERALLY today as I was washing I was contemplating if my next cut should be at a salon or DIY because I want layers. I decided to do it myself but I can go back n forth on things a lot. But now....child I'm doing it myself. 😩😩 Sis I felt it. Deep. Wooo chile.

    You give me hope for trying to cut my own hair again. I accidentally messed it up and gave myself similar jacked up "layers." I then had someone else trim it and the layers got even more dramatic. I've been trying to grow it out so I can trim more to even it out but my split ends and fairy knots are so bad now after all the stress I've been through in the past few months. I think I'll be able to fix it this time around! Fingers crossed! 🤞

  • @jaylahjones23

    I think you did a great job saving your haircut. I was in this same boat last year when I big chopped my hair. I did it myself in a slightly stretched state and the back of my hair was not even at all. I did make it work and my goal is to continue to shape it as it grows out. Can’t wait to see your wash and go video!!!

  • @shenelles4973
    @shenelles4973 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I usually put my hair in twists and then measure it in rows that help keep it even so I don't get lopsided. After I do a wash and go, I might dust the ends if some hang a lil too low.

  • @HairByPierre
    @HairByPierre 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Check out Hermela here in youtube. She gets layers done while it’s straight and it looks good curly too. Getting your hair cut curly isn’t really good if you like to wear your hair straight or stretched because it’ll always be different lengths cause our textures are different all over. Also it’s hard to keep up with because every strand is a different length and so it’s hard to ensure that all the hair is getting the trim it needs for maintenance

  • @ladylove32219
    @ladylove32219 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I've been watching you for a while. When I saw your hair getting cut in it's curly state I wondered what it would look like blown out. My thoughts were correct. At least it can grow back.

    I just put my hair into twists and trim my ends as needed. Been wearing twists since the pandemic hit and my hair has grown so much, it’s now my go to style. Currently hair to the bottom of my bust,, on my journey to waist length. I never use heat. Haven’t since 2014.

  • @astrochick6171
    @astrochick6171 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I cut my hair when straightened. I usually do smaller sections. I’ll do a somewhat thicker layer across the back of my hair as a base line. Then I’ll proceed to do smaller sections while matching them to that base layer. When I get to the crown I start working on the sides of my head. I’ll assess how much needs to be cut off if there are any thinner ends & I’ll cut off that amount. Then I just match the other side. Then I move on to my bangs/face framing layers to do whatever I feel like doing there & then blend it into the rest of the cut. At that point everything is even so I start doing layers but I never go back into that base layer in the back of my head (unless it needs some finishing touches to make it completely even). I do high & low layers where I basically trim the layers at a higher angle then a lower angle. I know it sounds like a lot but I’ve gotten used to that method & it works so great for me. You just gotta learn the right hand placements & if you want your hair to be even, you can’t pull it in a different direction than it naturally lays. It’s tough but when you do that it’s always gonna be at an angle when you let go. Most people pull the hair in the back forward but you will end up with an extreme U or V shaped cut. So if yours not going for that you gotta cut it how it naturally lays to the best of your ability.

    Finding a good hair dresser is so tough. I think i finally found one in my city and am excited for my cut at the end of the month. You have gorgeous hair. Have you looked up rezo cut or diametrix cut? If you blow wave your hair i think you would benefit from this. But you did such an amazing job. Good recovery

    Hello Ms Amber, 👋 I appreciate you sharing this video so much because, Belgium is not the only place where professional hair stylists are hard to find to maintain long natural curly locks. But that's not to say that they aren't good stylists, but they are in business and their training requires licensing too. I would just say it's complicated like life. I will share my opinion as a non professional hair stylists, using new and different hair products effects and changes how hair styles react and look too. Olyplex is a good product, but more on the hair repair treatments for professional hair stylists I think 🤔. I think you did a good trim, can't wait to see how it looks in wash state. I stopped going to a professional stylists after eight years of consistent appointments, looking back 20 20 is hind site, but I knew my stylists was sincerely doing her best. I changed with my life changes. The hair industry changed slower for curly hair wash and go needs. Now, I'm back to naturally shorter almost shoulder length because I trim my ends and my protective style has been caps. I've never worn wigs before, but caps and 👒 hats have helped me to maintain and protect my natural hair. I started using do it yourself hair oil, taking also plant based supplements , watching TH-cam hair videos to maybe get hair growth and stay healthy. Good luck with your future business goals and hair journey. Being a mom is a blessing , your daughter is your twin 💗 💓

    I LOVEEEE your videos and have been watching you for years! I was going to make an appointment with a Curly Specialist in my city, but I think I'll continue to do me. I'll do it myself. Only because like you, I wear my hair in wash n go and blowdry/silkpress . You did a fabulous, fabulous job! When I saw the middle part of your video I cringed, because I saw what they did and was upset for you! But, as you said...' It's just hair!'; - D I just love you! See you in your next video!

    I just cut my ends last week and it feels so much better and healthier . I cut my hair at home by myself, including layers by fallowing tutorials and the result is soo much beautiful than in a saloon . Brad Mondo has a great cut at home technique . Look him up next time you want to cut your ends 🤗🤗🤗

    I just took my daughter to a salon and she just got a trim on curly hair. It's uneven in its curly state so I hate to see it when it's blown out.🤦🏾‍♀️ Time for me to learn how to trim myself. I'm going to review that DeeperThanHair trim tutorial video again.

    Amber, I feel so sorry for you! I can't imagine the shock when you saw, how much you cut of ...
    Maybe the curly cut wasn't just the best for you, because you like to wear your hair straight, too and not only curly.
    The curly cut is good, when you always wear your hair curly. Then you can cut it in the shape you like in the CURLY state. And if straightend, it's very possible that it's uneven, especially if you have multiple curl types on your head, which have to be cut different of course, because you want it all to come together in the CURLY state.
    I cut my hair in layers on my own and I love the shape I got. But I would not want to see it straight right now, I know it would be uneven.
    Please don't blame the stylist for this, y'all. She did the curly cut with her technique, that's what she offered 🙏🏾

    From the US, Hey Amber proud of you girl. As a hair stylist since 1969, you did really well because I thought you f--ked up too, but you put it together and saved yourself some money in the process. FYI, next time you ask for layers at a salon, the easier thing to do is flat iron your hair straight as a stick and ask for a dry cut, because you will immediately see how it looks while its straight. You have more hair than the average person, so it'll be easier for them to navigate when it's flattened. P.S. Girl you know it'll grow back in no time.✂✂❤❤

    Hey Amber, I think you did a great job (as you have in the past) considering that you aren't a professional stylist. I learned the hard way as well that curly cuts leave me with straggly ends. I don't see how it's possible to have healthy hair with such uneven ends but maybe it works for some. I wanted to suggest that you try using a CreaClip in the future. I learned about it from another youtuber and it has made my diy haircuts so much easier. I bought an imitation version and it works just as well.
