The Best Haircuts for Curly Hair, According to a Pro

The Best Haircuts for 4a-4c Curls

Tightly coiled and kinky hair looks amazing in a cropped cut that’s about four to six inches long. “Its perfectly rounded shape gives great height and bold presence,” she says. “Top this look off with some perfectly defined finger coils and you’ve got a showstopper.” You can also opt for a tapered cut, with tight sides and fullness at the top. 

We recommend mixing the Carol’s Daughter Goddess Strength Divine Strength Leave In Cream with a light-hold gel for flexible hold and moisture. “Once the hair is dry, run the Matrix A Curl Can Dream Light Weight Oil through the mid-lengths and ends for silicone-free shine and moisture retention,” O’Connor says.
