Woman styling her hair in a well-decorated room.

Curly hair is notoriously difficult to style and cut. Sure, when you wear the hair curly, it is very easy to hide an uneven hairdo, but what if you want to straighten it out? If you would like to cut a cute layered look that you can wear when your hair is straight, you will need to follow these tips for cutting curls.

Step 1:

Measure your hair when it is dry and curly. Decide where you'd like your layers and how long your hair is exactly. Mark this as your guide.

Step 2:

Wet your hair and pull it straight.

Step 3:

Find the original guide you made, and cut your hair bluntly.

If you are having trouble, don't take the chance of ruining your 'do! Don't be afraid to enlist the help of a professional stylist and explain to her what you are looking for. Good luck!
