Rather than a standard trim, this appointment focuses on curl-by-curl cutting, hydration and styling techniques suited to your specific curl pattern, along with practical guidance for keeping curls looking their best between visits. ## 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.

Wash and condition your hair 24 to 48 hours before your visit, then wear it down, fully dry and free from heavy products, braids or tight styles so your stylist can see your natural curl pattern. Why is curly hair cut dry rather than wet? Curly hair shrinks as it dries, so cutting curl by curl on dry hair lets the stylist shape each curl exactly as it naturally falls, giving a more accurate and balanced result. How long does a Just Curls appointment take? The service typically takes up to 45 minutes, though first-time curly appointments may run longer due to the detailed consultation, cutting and styling involved. How much does Just Curls cost? Pricing ranges from £0 to £36 depending on the specifics of your appointment. Will my curls look shorter after the cut? Yes, curly hair typically shrinks when dry, so the final length once styled will usually appear shorter than when wet or stretched. Your stylist will factor this in when cutting. How often should I get a curly trim? Most curly hair benefits from a trim every 8 to 12 weeks to maintain shape and prevent split ends that can disrupt the curl pattern. What products should I use on curly hair at home? A simple routine of a moisturising shampoo and conditioner, a leave-in conditioner and a suitable styler such as gel, foam or cream is usually recommended, avoiding harsh sulfates and heavy silicones. Can I still use heat styling tools after a curl cut? If your goal is maximum curl definition and long-term hair health, it's best to minimise heat styling and chemical relaxers, as these can alter the curl structure over time. Will heavily damaged curls improve after one appointment? Significant improvement is often visible straight away, but very damaged hair may need several appointments and a consistent aftercare routine over a few months for full results.
