You might remember the name Lorraine Massey if you\u2019re familiar with the curly girl method<\/a> \u2014 a curly hair care routine created by Massey in 2011 that gained viral attention on TikTok in the 2020s. But that\u2019s not her only contribution to curl culture. Massey also co-founded DevaChan Salon and DevaCurl products with Denis Da Silva. Together, they created the Deva cut. So what is a Deva cut?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Deva cut is a type of haircut where a stylist tailors the cut to the client\u2019s individual curl pattern. This technique gives you the perfect low-maintenance hairstyle to show off your natural texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Deva cut?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Deva cut is a type of haircut for curly hair. Unlike a traditional haircut where hair is washed, cut, then styled, your stylist will cut your hair after it\u2019s washed and styled. Your stylist will also cut each curl individually instead of cutting hair in sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This cut avoids the dreaded \u201ctriangle cut,\u201d where curly hair looks perfect while it\u2019s damp, then dries with too much volume at the bottom. Because your hair is already dry and styled when you get a Deva cut, you\u2019ll have a much better idea of how your hair will look when you style it at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dry cutting curl-by-curl also preserves your curl pattern, making the cut work for your natural texture. This reduces your style time at home because your haircut strategically works with your curl pattern instead of needing to spend hours styling your hair in a specific way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who should consider a Deva cut?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Deva cut works best for people with wavy, curly, or coily hair textures<\/a>. It doesn\u2019t work for straight hair because the technique involves cutting curl-by-curl, which isn\u2019t possible on straight hair. If a person with straight hair got a Deva cut, it might look choppy and uneven. If you\u2019re unsure of your hair texture, take our hair type quiz<\/a> for guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Deva cuts work great on wavy to coily hair, they\u2019re not for everyone. Deva cuts tend to be a shorter style, so if you value your hair length, it might not work for you. The cut creates face-framing pieces with lots of volume, which looks great on medium and short hair lengths. If you\u2019re not sure if a Deva cut is what you\u2019re looking for, talk to your stylist to see what they think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
