1- What is a DevaCut?
A: DevaCut is a specialized cut designed for people with naturally curl
or wavy hair. The
Stylists trained in this cut have been specially certified through the
DevaChan Salon and
Training Facility.
2- What makes a DevaCut different from a regular haircut?
A: DevaCut is performed while the hair is dry and in its most natural
state. The hair is cut
curl by curl to ensure the most even haircut possible. It also helps to
ensure that you
can get the most amount of curl out of you hair.
3- Why do I need a DevaCut?
A:
Depending on how curly you are, naturally curly hair tends to be hard to
cut. The
reason being is when you wet curly hair it expands up to 50% of its
length. When it dries
it can shrink 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches, depending on the amount of curl in
you hair. Different
curls shrink to different lengths, due to their individual density. Your
hair is not evenly curly all over you head, most
curly clients have curly areas that are looser than others, Therefore these areas when
cut wet to dry, can shrink on one side and appear to be longer than
another. Even though
technically this is and even haircut, on a curly client it can seem
uneven and disproportionate.
4- Are there different types of curls?
A:
Curls are like fingerprints there are no two that are alike. Mainly
there are variations
of three different types of curl: *Corkscrew, *Botticelli, and *Wavy
curls.
5- How do I know which curl type I am?
A:
*Corkscrew curls are very tightly wound and often have lots of small
coils of curls.
The hair tends to be extremely dry and dull with a very high frizz
factor. Corkscrew
curls also tend to stand out from your head instead of lying flat.
*Botticelii curls tend to vary in size and shape, usually they fall
gracefully down rather
than sticking out. Usually the hair is a medium or fine texture however
the hair is brittle
or easily damaged. Botticelli curls can also be harder to wear because
normally the top
layer of the hair weighs the curl down making it appear less curly.
*Wavy curls normally on humid days is extremely frizzy and has a
tendancy to look unkept.
The hair tends to lie very flat in the crown therefore most people with
wavy hair have also
always believed their hair was staight.
6- How often will I need a DevaCut?
A:
Depending on the amount of curl in your hair, most curly clients can go
3 to 6 months
before their next DevaCut.
7- Whats the best way to scrunch my hair?
A:
After cleansing and moisturizing your curls while you are still dripping
wet, flip your head
over and apply your styling products. Then using paper towels.
