Hair cut for curly hair? Layering, suggestions?

I have super curly hair. ( see the pic below ) But I am really tired of it being long...because then I cannot straighten it very often, and when I do- it just looks dull and just...bland. Since I don't have layers. And its also really weird looking since it gets even longer when I straighten it! I really need suggestions on how to get my hair cut...I'm tired of the straight-cut look... but its got to be suitable for my ultra-curly hair!! Also, I'm scared if I go too short, it will get poofy and frizzy! And just ingulf my head in a sea of curls! Help!!!!

Wow your hair is pretty. :)



Anyways I wouldn't lose more than 4-5 inches dry, which judging by your curliness is about 2-3 inches wet. Try measuring your hair from wet to dry for a more definite measurement. You'll want to tell the hair dresser how much exactly to cut off when wet to ensure they don't chop off too much. (I have had the triangle head hair, and you are right it is not fun.)



Nice, simple, long layers with longish to medium hair works very well with curls. The layers will help with drying and untangling time, and the hair will also hang better. However, DO NOT get short layers (they will stick up and look funny) or ';thinning'; with razors (that will make your ends ratty as they grow out). Try to find a stylist who knows how to work with curly hair as well. You can find ratings by region here: http://www.naturallycurly.com/curlsalons



I hope this helps! Good luck with your haircut. :)

Tie it up in a ponytail =) And if you have bangs, straighten only that and keep it down on the side.
