Just Curls

What the Service Involves

Expect a thorough, hands-on approach rather than a quick trim:

• Consultation to assess curl type, density, porosity and your current haircare routine
• Dry, curl-by-curl cutting with scissors, shaping each curl as it naturally falls
• Cleanse and treat step, with guidance on shampooing, conditioning and detangling
• Curl-defining products applied to damp hair using techniques like scrunching or raking
• Diffused or air-dried finish to protect curl definition and minimise frizz
• Final check once dry, with light refinement of any curls that need it

Preparing for Your Appointment

A little preparation helps your stylist see your true curl pattern:

• Arrive with hair washed and conditioned 24 to 48 hours beforehand
• Wear hair down and fully dry, without braids, buns or tight styles
• Avoid heavy products or heat styling before you arrive
• Bring inspiration photos and be ready to discuss frizz, shape or volume concerns
• Allow the full appointment time, as curly cuts involve more detailed work than a standard cut

What to Expect Afterwards

Curly hair shrinks as it dries, so your stylist will factor this in when cutting to reach your desired length. At Timba, the team can talk through simple aftercare such as:

• Using sulfate-free or low-poo cleansers and rich conditioners
• Detangling gently when wet, working from ends upward
• Protecting curls overnight with a satin or silk bonnet or smooth pillowcase
• Refreshing curls between washes with a light water or conditioner mist
• Booking a maintenance trim roughly every 8 to 12 weeks to keep the shape intact

Who It Suits

Just Curls is best suited to clients with natural wave, curl or coil patterns looking for a more tailored, low-maintenance shape. First-time curly clients, or anyone moving away from regular heat styling or chemical straightening, may notice the biggest difference, though very damaged hair can take a few appointments and a consistent routine to fully settle. Members of the Timba team, including senior stylists and colour specialists, can advise on the right approach for your hair during consultation.
