Curls have their own rhythm. They move with character, add natural volume, and make a statement before you say a word. But managing curls can be tricky without the right approach. 

At The Cage by BVRBERBROS in Surrey, BC, we believe curly hair deserves to be embraced, not controlled. With the right cut, care, and styling routine, your curls can look sharp, defined, and effortless every day.

Start with a Cut that Works with Your Curls

The foundation of great curls starts in the barber’s chair. A good cut enhances your natural pattern and gives your hair shape without adding bulk. Our barbers take the time to understand your curl type and tailor your cut for balance and definition.

Some top choices for curly hair include:

• Tapered sides with longer curls on top

• Mid-fades or low-fades to highlight texture

• Layered shapes to add movement and prevent frizz

Keeping up with regular trims is key to maintaining your style and preventing split ends.

Hydrate for Healthier Curls

Curly hair naturally needs more moisture. Because the curl pattern makes it harder for natural oils to travel down the strand, hydration should be your top priority.

Try this care routine:

• Wash with a sulfate-free shampoo two to three times a week

• Condition every wash to restore softness

• Finish with a leave-in conditioner or curl cream for lasting moisture

Pro tip from The Cage: 

Don’t overwash. Allow your hair’s natural oils to protect and soften your curls.

Define Your Curls, Don’t Weigh Them Down

The best curls are defined yet flexible. Skip heavy gels that make your hair stiff and choose lightweight products that enhance your natural texture.

Go-to styling choices include:

• Curl cream or lotion for soft definition

• Sea salt spray to add natural volume

• Matte pomade for a light, touchable hold
  
  

Apply product evenly through damp hair, then shape it with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb. Avoid brushing once it dries since this causes frizz and breaks up your curl pattern.

Drying Done Right

How you dry your curls matters just as much as how you style them. A few simple changes can keep your curls intact and frizz-free.

Here’s how:

• Use a microfiber towel or cotton T-shirt to gently scrunch out water

• Let your hair air dry or use a diffuser on low heat

• Try not to touch your hair too much while it dries to preserve shape
