Dry Cuts on Fine or Thin Hair
For someone not looking to remove bulk like those with fine or thin hair, a dry cut can still help add texture to your ends. "Fine/thin hair easily shows cutting lines and can lose much-needed density throughout the bottom if over-texturized," Conan says. " Using a dry cutting technique allows your stylist to section and texturize based on how hair lays and where shaping is needed most." It's harder to see where texture is needed when hair is wet.
Conan recommends combining the two for thin hair — a wet cut to form a baseline and a dry cut for adding detail and enhancing texture.
While most hair types can benefit from a dry cut in different ways, Conan cautioned one thing before you dive in: "Your hair needs to be in the texture or shape you will wear it in most often. For example, if you get your hair dry cut when is it blown out straight but normally wear your hair curly, you won't get the full benefits, and the cut will look different when you wear it as you usually would after your salon visit."
