What is a Deva Cut?
What haircut will you advise for curls?
Have you ever heard of the Deva Cut? Many women have naturally curly and wavy hair, but the Eurocentric standards and solutions make it hard to know how to take care of them. The Deva Cut is a haircutting technique by Lorraine Massey, a co-owner of Devachan Salon and the author of Curly Girl.
The deva curl cut will help you in maintaining your natural curls and waves. It’s a revolutionary technique versus the traditional haircutting method because traditional techniques were made for straight hair.
A Deva cut will enhance your curls as each strand is individually cut not to disrupt the curl pattern. Deva curls are uniquely tailored for your hair.
Deva Cuts are styled exclusively for each individual and require a qualified specialist trained to perform the Deva Cut. Curly hair is cut when it’s dry because that’s how you would normally go out, and curly hair is different when it’s wet.
There are three levels of stylists who can do Deva Cuts:
– Level 1: Deva Inspired
– Level 2: Deva Advanced
– Level 3: Deva Certified
The higher the level, the more training received by a styling professional.
Rezo Cut is from Nubia Suarez, a curl specialist of Utopia Salon & Day Spa in Westfield, New Jersey. While Deva Cut focuses on framing the face, Rezo cut maintains an even length of hair around your head, so the curls move freely. If straightened, the hair that underwent Rezo cut will have the same length, while hair after Deva Cut may appear uneven.
Deva Cut for wavy hair aims to focus on the unique pattern of each section and is specially made for curls and waves. It’s definitely worth investing in a Deva Cut!
Whether you find it challenging to make appointments with your Deva Cut stylist because of your schedule or lack of budget, a Deva Cut at home is only recommended if you’re going to do a little trim. Invest in a good pair of scissors and clips and get to know each of your curls when you decide to do it on your own.
