Messy Curly Hair is a modern men’s haircut designed for clients with wavy hair, which often appears shapeless and difficult to style. The course demonstrates how to skillfully combine three fundamental shapes—a square at the crown, a triangle on the sides, and a circle at the back—to create a hairstyle from naturally wavy hair that features controlled volume, distinct texture, and light, loose bangs.

Miłosz Mikołajczak guides you step by step through the entire haircutting process, starting with the deliberate division of the head into working zones. You’ll see how he builds the foundation of the hairstyle in the suboccipital area, working vertically within a triangle, and then transitions the lengths to the occipital area, creating a square shape. The course discusses in detail how to work on the side panels in diagonal sections and how to seamlessly blend sideburns with facial hair using the clipper-on-comb technique.

In this course, you'll learn:

  • A combination of three shapes in a single hairstyle: a vertical triangle, a horizontal square, and a circle at the crown
  • Precise division of the head into sections—the crown, temples, occipital, and suboccipital areas—is key to organizing the work and ensuring full control over the shape
  • The technique of redirecting hair to the previous section as a tool for creating a clean, square shape and controlling the volume of the hairstyle
  • Working thoughtfully with bangs—knowing when to cut them in a square (to the ceiling) and when to cut them in a circle (to the head) to achieve a light, airy look and avoid cutting them too short
  • Smoothly blending the sideburns into the beard using the comb-over technique to create a cohesive and complete look
  • A complete final styling using a diffuser and curl cream, including the technique of pinning back the bangs with clips to control volume
  • Proper posture and body mechanics – why working from the knees rather than the spine is crucial for a hairdresser’s health and the precision of the cut

After completing this course, you’ll feel confident working with wavy hair, turning it from a challenge into an asset for your client. You’ll learn how to use basic geometric shapes to create a cohesive, modern style that highlights the natural wave while adding structure and volume. This cut will allow you to expand your offerings for men looking for a casual yet polished everyday hairstyle.
