The #1 Mistake Curly Clients Make When Trimming at Home (And How a Pro Curly Cut Can Save Your Shape)

We’ve all done it. You grab the scissors, snip a few ends, and—oops—the shape is off, the curl pattern is uneven, and now you’re in the mirror wondering why you did that.

DIY trims might seem like a quick fix, but for curly and natural hair, cutting at home can easily lead to uneven lengths, over-cutting, and frizz disasters.

Why is trimming curly hair different?

Curly hair shrinks when dry and stretches when wet. Cutting while wet (like most salons do) can result in unpredictable shapes once the hair dries and springs up.

That’s why I specialize in dry curly cuts at my Dallas salon. Cutting the curls in their natural state lets me see exactly where they live, ensuring your hair keeps its balance and bounce.

Pro Tip:

Schedule trims every 3-4 months to maintain healthy ends and shape.

Product to support your trim:

To keep your ends healthy between cuts, use Moroccanoil Treatment Light—a lightweight argan oil blend that smooths split ends and seals in moisture.
