"This cut is great because it is layered, leaving the curls light and airy," says hairstylist Chuck Amos, adding, "the layers stack up on each other and blend in with the bang, and the ends of the curls are left loose, giving the overall look some flair." He notes this cut is best for type 3A to 3C curls because the size and lightness of those curls work best with this layered side part cut. At the salon, tell your hairdresser to cut the curls dry to avoid shrinkage — especially the bangs.
