GRADUATED BLUNT

A blunt cut is just the thing your curls need to make a statement. "The trick is not over-layering, as you still want to keep a blunt vibe overall," Sears says.

THE LOB

"It's a popular style because it doesn’t weigh down the curls," says Potempa. "It works really well for someone who wants a lightweight feeling while maintaining length."

CURL BY CURL

"It's a dry cut, where you look at how someone's hair naturally dries. Once the hair naturally dries, you take each curl and cut it on an angle and blend with the rest of the hair," Potempa explains.
