Men's Curly Haircut With Defined Curls and Rounded Layers
Curls that look intentional, not just grown out. Sergio Slavnov gave this client full, defined curls, a rounded shape and a fringe that sits right at the brow.
Sergio cut this one curl by curl, working with the natural spiral instead of fighting it. Layers went in all around the head so the curls stack evenly into a soft, rounded silhouette, with the most volume through the top and crown. The fringe was left long enough to fall forward over the forehead and frame the eyes. The sides stay full over the ears and blend into the back, so nothing looks boxy or triangular. Bulk came out from underneath to keep the hair light and bouncy, and the neckline was cleaned up so the back stays neat. A men’s curly haircut done this way looks fresh on day one and grows out just as well.
Men’s curly hair needs its own technique. Sergio shapes every cut around the curl pattern, density and shrinkage, which keeps the shape balanced between visits, and it’s why his Manhattan salon has become a go-to for guys with curls.
For the finish, Sergio applied Avenue Man Curl Defining Mousse to damp hair and scrunched it through from roots to ends, so each curl clumps together and holds its spiral.
