Why naturally curly hair should be cut dry
Cutting curly hair dry is generally preferred because it allows for a more accurate assessment of each curl's spring factor and pattern, resulting in a more precise and flattering shape. Dry cutting helps visualize the final shape as curls fall naturally, making it easier to frame the face and ensure even results. However, for loosely wavy hair or if frequent straightening is expected, cutting wet might be more effective for achieving a neat perimeter.
