Cutting curls wet instead of dry cut down on frizz big time.
I switched to only cutting curly hair when it's fully wet. The curls spring up perfectly every time now.

Totally makes sense, it lets the hair dry into the right shape. Game changer for managing the curl pattern too.

Remember how our moms used to do our hair when we were kids? Mine would soak my hair and then braid it tight while it was wet. I hated how it felt when it dried, all lumpy and weird under the braids. But when she took them out, I had these perfect waves for picture day. It's funny how those old tricks work on the same idea, letting it dry in the shape you want. Makes me wonder what other simple fixes we've forgotten about.

Man, my mom did that exact thing and I swear those braids were tighter than a drum. Felt like my scalp was getting a face lift for eight hours straight. But hey, at least you looked cute for the school photo, right? Who knew torture was the secret to good hair?

Hold up, I gotta point out that cutting wet hair can actually cause more frizz for some curl types. When you cut it soaking wet, you can't see the true spring of the curl, so you might cut too much. Then when it dries and shrinks up, the ends can be uneven and that leads to frizz. My stylist always cuts my hair when it's damp, not dripping wet, so she can see the real shape. It made a huge difference for my 3A curls.
