Cuts for Coily Hair, 3C Through 4C

Cortes para cabello enrulado 3C a 4C

Coily hair gets the worst service in mainstream salons. Cut wet at false length, shaped without seeing the coil pattern, sent home with a routine built for someone else's hair. Yazmin trained on this texture the same way she trained on every other one. The studio is set up for it.

The Coil Pattern Reads Different

El patrón se lee distinto

Three C is a corkscrew pattern, dense and springy. Four A is a tight S-curve with definition. Four B has a Z-pattern, less defined visually but with major shape. Four C is the tightest, packed into the scalp and often misread as flat by stylists who don't work with it.

Most coily heads have multiple patterns across the scalp. Yazmin maps each section and cuts each in its own pattern. No one cut technique covers a whole head of coily hair.

Length Without Losing Shape

Largo sin perder forma

The biggest concern for coily clients: that a cut will erase length. Dry cutting answers that. Yazmin shapes the coil at its real visible length, not the stretched length straight cutting reveals. So clients keep the length they came in with and gain shape.

If you're transitioning out of relaxer or heat damage, the cut and the timeline both get discussed at the consult.

Coily Hair Questions

Preguntas sobre cabello enrulado

Will you cut my hair shorter than I want?

No. The consult is where length gets discussed. Yazmin cuts to keep what's healthy and remove what isn't. If the consult shows we can't reach the shape you want without going shorter, you decide before scissors come out.

Do you cut Type 4 hair specifically?

Yes. All four sub-patterns. The technique adjusts for each.

What about heat damage repair?

Heat-damaged hair gets a different approach. Yazmin maps which sections need a real cut and which sections can be saved with treatment plus time.

Can I bring a friend who's a 4B/4C and doesn't trust salons?

Yes. The studio is one client at a time so a friend can come for moral support. Many of Yazmin's regulars came that way the first time.

Spanish?

Fully bilingual.
