Curly messy

The "Curly Messy " is a men's haircut designed for clients with naturally curly hair, which often creates an overly wide, unruly shape around the head. The course demonstrates how to create a deliberate, square shape that visually narrows the sides while preserving the freedom and natural character of the curls. The key element is a heavy, crop-style fringe, which serves as the focal point of the entire look.

Damian Zakrzewski guides you through the entire haircut process, starting with an assessment of the head’s shape and identifying the highest point as the basis for dividing the hair into sections. Step by step, he demonstrates how to create a square shape at the back of the head by pulling strands toward each other at a right angle to conceal its curves. He then moves on to cutting heavy bangs, which serve as a reference point for blending with the top and sides of the hairstyle.

In this course, you'll learn:

• Creating a square shape at the back of the head by pulling strands toward each other—a technique that hides roundness and visually slims the silhouette.
• Cutting heavy, cropped bangs is the first step, which defines the character of the entire hairstyle and serves as a reference point for the rest of the cut.
• Use a Chinese blade to soften the sides and blend them smoothly into the bangs without losing volume on top.
• Why does Damian use only scissors (for precision cuts and gliding) for thinning and dry texturizing, and avoid thinning shears?
• A comprehensive analysis of the model’s head—how to assess its shape, identify areas of volume and a protruding occipital bone, in order to plan the haircut effectively.
• A practical division of the head into sections, starting from its highest point, as the foundation for predictable and precise work.

After this course, you’ll stop seeing curly hair as a challenge and start recognizing its potential for creating bold, masculine styles. You’ll learn how to impose the geometric discipline of a square cut without sacrificing its natural texture and movement, creating a hairstyle with character that is both controlled and full of life.
