You also need to be aware of the angles the hair is being cut in order to get the proper shape and avoid the forbidden "triangle." It's important to use the proper tools so that you don't fray strands and cause more frizz. There is also a time and a place to use wet- cutting techniques; you just need to adjust your application on a case-by-case curl basis. Mistake #2 Assuming the client wants her hair blown straight.
