The Circular Curly Cut is a cutting technique designed for thick, tightly curled hair that tends to get out of control. The course demonstrates how to use circular cutting and strategic layering to transform excess volume into a three-dimensional, modern style that accentuates the natural curl while also framing the client’s face. It is a comprehensive process, from wet cutting to the final dry styling.

Michał Lewiński guides you step by step through the entire haircut process, starting with sectioning the head and marking the disconnection line. He demonstrates how to work with sections without redirecting them, following the natural curve of the head so that each section is the same length—this is the key to creating a clean, rounded shape. You’ll see how to transfer length from the back to the sides and top, working methodically in vertical and horizontal sections.

In this course, you'll learn:

  • A circular cutting technique, where the key is to follow the curve of the head without any redirects
  • Deliberately creating volume at the back as a way to add lightness to the hairstyle while maintaining its length
  • How to use a comb as a diagnostic tool to determine the angle and direction of combing a strand of hair on the curves of the head
  • Working on the vertical (top) and horizontal (sides) sections to convey length and maintain the coherence of the form
  • A styling method using clips and a diffuser to keep the top flat and bring out maximum curl along the lengths
  • Final deconstruction of the style on dry hair – using scissors along the outer contour to frame the client’s face

After watching this course, you’ll stop seeing thick, curly hair as a problem and start seeing its potential for creating modern, three-dimensional styles. You’ll gain the skills to consciously control volume, bring out natural curls, and customize the hairstyle while it’s dry, giving your client a look that lasts day after day without complicated styling.
