Curly hair tends to lose its shape when wet, which is exactly why a dry cut is beneficial for this hair type. "With dry cutting, your stylist can enhance your curls and reduce bulk by cutting hair as each curl section falls," Conan says. "Instead of taking traditional sections like with wet cutting, your stylist will grab curl sections that live together and cut them as one piece."
This reduces the chances of an uneven curl pattern if your hair dries unevenly. Conan also explained that this technique helps the style hold its shape as it grows out and therefore, makes the haircut last longer.
The number-one complaint that usually comes with thick hair is the weight; a dry cut can help address that. "Your stylist can remove interior bulk and create a reduced shape without needing to add a lot of visible layers," Conan says. "This can also be done wet, however, when done dry, it allows the sections to be softer and fall more strategically."
