A retired stylist in Phoenix told me to stop cutting wet and it finally clicked
I was at a hair show in Phoenix two weeks ago and got paired up with a stylist who has been behind the chair for 34 years. She watched me do a demo cut on a mannequin and said, "You're fighting the hair because you never let it tell you where the weight wants to sit." She meant I was cutting everything at 90 degrees on wet hair instead of dry checking the shape as I go. I tried it on my next three clients and my blowouts have been so much cleaner, way less going back to fix uneven spots. Does anyone else dry cut first and just use water to refine, or am I late to this party?

Wait, 34 years behind the chair and she just now dropped that on you at a hair show? That's wild to me. The idea of cutting everything at 90 degrees on wet hair and just hoping it dries even is stressing me out just reading it. I've watched a couple of dry cut videos and always figured it was one of those things that sounds smart online but falls apart on a real head of hair. You saying your next three blowouts came out cleaner makes me want to actually try it. So when you dry check, are you just eyeballing the shape or actually going back in with the shears on the dry sections?
