This Expert Advice Guarantees You'll Have the Best Haircut of Your Life

The best cut: The great thing about your natural texture is that it holds so much shape. Make sure the cut is layered, but the length is really up to you — longer hair will start to part and become wider, while shorter hair is easy to pick out into an Afro. More importantly, be sure to choose a stylist with extensive experience working with and cutting natural hair. A bad haircut can ruin your experience.

How to ask for this look: Share your hair concerns and try to bring as many hair references as possible. And never let anyone cut your hair wet!
