Cutting curly hair can be intimidating, but with the right technique and tools, you can achieve a beautiful and stylish curly bob haircut at home. Here are some tips on how to cut a curly bob yourself:
- Start with dry hair: Cutting curly hair when it’s wet can result in a shorter cut than expected, as curly hair tends to shrink when it dries. To avoid this, start by washing and drying your hair, then wait until it’s completely dry before cutting.
- Gather your tools: You’ll need a pair of sharp hair cutting scissors, a fine-tooth comb, and hair clips to section your hair.
- Section your hair: Use the fine-tooth comb to create a middle part and then separate your hair into four sections: two at the front and two at the back. Clip each section to keep it in place.
- Start cutting: Begin by cutting the bottom layer of your hair. Take a small section of hair and cut it at an angle, following the shape of your jawline. Work your way up to the top layer of your hair, always cutting at an angle.
- Cut the sides: Release the front sections of your hair and cut them at an angle to frame your face. Be careful not to cut too much, as curly hair tends to bounce up when it dries.
- Check your work: Once you’ve finished cutting, shake out your hair and check for any uneven sections. If you notice any areas that need trimming, go back and make adjustments.
- Style your hair: After you’ve finished cutting, style your curly bob by scrunching in a curl-defining product and using a diffuser attachment on your hair dryer to dry your curls. You can also use a curling iron to touch up any areas that need more definition.
Cutting your own curly bob can be a bit of a challenge, but with some practice and patience, you can achieve a gorgeous and stylish look. Just be sure to take your time, start with small cuts, and always check your work as you go.
