Men's Curly Haircut With Defined Curls and Rounded Layers

Full, defined curls with a rounded shape and a fringe that sits right at the brow. This curly cut on Sergio’s client shows why Sergio Slavnov is known as the best men’s hairstylist in New York for guys who want their curls to look intentional, not just grown out.

Sergio cut this one curl by curl, working with the natural spiral instead of fighting it. Layers were shaped all around the head so the curls stack evenly and build 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, while the sides were kept full over the ears and blended into the back so nothing looks boxy or triangular. Bulk was removed from underneath so the hair sits light and bouncy, never heavy. The neckline was cleaned up so the back stays neat. It is one of those haircuts for curly hair men that looks fresh on day one and grows out just as well.

As a top men’s hairstylist with nearly 20 years behind the chair, Sergio has made his salon a go-to for curly hair men in NYC. He knows that mens curly haircuts need a different technique than straight hair, so every cut is shaped around your curl pattern, density and shrinkage to keep the shape balanced between visits.

For the finish, Sergio applied Avenue Man Curl Defining Mousse to damp hair, scrunching it through from roots to ends so each curl clumps together and holds its spiral.
