They're a salon which specializes in curly hair, and do 80% of your cut dry, before they wash it. After you're washed and dried, they touch it up some more.</p> <p>I'm intrigued that some ladies with very straight hair have had this done- I always thought it made more sense for curly hair, which "shrinks" as it dries. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dry-cut#post-103924 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 17:55:30 +0000 annagybe 103924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A word of warning. I used to get my hair dry cut, but they would flat iron it before doing it. Which I think defeats the purpose.</p> <p>Anna </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dry-cut#post-103920 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 16:30:31 +0000 velvetychocolate 103920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just had my hair 'dry-cut' last month too - stick straight hair, but had lots of issues with the way it would dry. My bangs just wouldn't sit right. So, this time - the stylist asked me, "Would you like to try a dry cut?" and explained that it might work better to work on my hair as it really is, than when it's all wet. He's done both, and I think I'm happier with the bangs with the dry-cut than the usual wet-hair deal. </p> <p>My hair looks a lot better after the dry-cut, than with previous cuts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dry-cut#post-103861 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 05:38:26 +0000 taylor 103861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely give it a try...you may convert:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dry-cut#post-103860 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 05:32:49 +0000 marianne 103860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the explanation, Taylor! Can I say how great it is to be able to ask a professional? In my search for a new stylist I came across one who specializes in it, and I was wondering if I should give it a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dry-cut#post-103857 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 05:15:14 +0000 shannon 103857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just had my hair cut dry this last time around. New stylist. Name is Taylor too! I loved it! I have straight thick hair. She says I have a lot of cowlicks which I didn't know about. I think this last cut has been the only cut I haven't gone home and fixed in some way. Maybe she cut it this way because the cut I was getting was a sort of bowl cut so it lays straight down and would be very noticeable if it dried uneven. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dry-cut#post-103835 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 04:25:02 +0000 taylor 103835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Marianne,</p> <p>Good question, and really not too complicated. </p> <p>Dry cutting gives a stylist a better visual on the finished look, you can see how your shaping looks as you go...It doesn't work* better * on one hair type (curly or straight) I use this on both (I only dry cut my stick straight hair)</p> <p> Most clients who have alot of inconsistencies in how their hair dries is the *crucial* element here, and determines weather I will dry cut or not.</p> <p>Simply put...if your hair tends to shrink a TON, or due to cowlicks etc. it dries uneven...even if it is cut perfectly even...dry cutting is in order.</p> <p>Some other factors involved, but you get the idea:)</p> <p>Some stylists have turned this into a bit of a gimmick by specializing in dry cuts only...don't buy into it...both wet and dry cuts have their place:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dry-cut#post-103825 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 03:56:25 +0000 Angie 103825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ooohh Taylor and Rena........Marianne, I'm calling for the pros. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dry-cut#post-103821 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 03:47:25 +0000 marianne 103821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just remembered that I also had a hair question today, in addition to the bag question. Could someone explain what is dry cutting, what are the advantages and how the results are different? Is it better for a specific style or type of hair?<br /> Thank you! </p>
