help 3s and 4s - for long hair
in Hair Type 3
Hi, I'm hair depressed and would llke your input. I've gone a few years with not great cuts despite doing the work -- investigating and spending $$.
The last 3 cuts - "curl experts" insist on cutting angled from front to back when I advise I do not want that. (That looks great on girls with really straight hair).
My last cut was 2 wks ago - it's angled, and too long. Yes, I need length so that it does not get too poofy -- but it's now just hanging. (pic with white sleeveless top).
When I used to get it cut from Ouidad before she retired, it had a blunt
bottom).
QUESTIONS?
* What would be better way to cut/style?
* is this 3C or 4A?
* Suggestions on how to cut it? Who to see?
Thanks,
Rsw
PS- I see some l like Devachan - but hose women have loose curls. Mine are TIGHT!

- Is your hair angled from front pieces all the way back? Anyone happy with that and can you share pics?
- Or is it rounded on bottom?
And, do you have blunt bottom - mostly one length?
What I think might look really awesome on you, aside from cutting a bit more length is that some of your canopy hairs can be cut into shorter layers to give you volume up top. I would *love* to do this with my own hair but on my curl pattern it just doesn't work.
I did have hair angled from front to back that I liked, but now she cut the front pieces so short they don't curl! So I liked it but not right now. I think the angle looks nice on you.
Here's mine angled shorter in front, on both short and long hair:
3A/f/i
Super baby fine hair, low porosity
Shampoos: SM Fruit Fusion (mostly), Avalon lemon (to clarify). Occasional aloe vera and glycerin to wash.
Stylers: Intelligent Nutrients Perfect Hold Hairspray
Treatments: Catnip tea, IA girl's PT, Fermented Rice Water, Catnip Tea, Amla tea, Irish Moss, SS PT

My hair is shorter in front than in back, but my hair is also chin length. I'm not sure how much difference it makes in long hair. I think what you might need overall is layering for shape.
3a, fine, thin, normal porosity, no dye, greying naturally
Devacurl Weightless Waves Low Poo & Conditioner, B'Leave-in and Ultra Defining Gel
Curl Junkie Spiral Lotion in low humidity
Ouidad Advanced Heat & Humidity Gel mixed with UDG for high humidity
at home gelatin PT
Hask Argan Oil Deep Conditioner
I would search for images of curl cuts you like and find another stylist. Hopefully the curl gods will send you someone fabulous asap!
My hair is a bit tighter than yours and i just cut it cut into a short and very layered mushroom. If i were you i would ask for long layers with the shortest layer ending at your chin to frame your face!

I've still not gotten another hair cut, and now it's totally dragging /sagging my face down.
Do you get a deva cut?
