Cutting, care, colour and special techniques for wavy, curly and coily hair.
Curly hair is not "difficult". It needs a different reading: a dry cut on the natural fall, hydration and products in the right order, and colour that respects the structure of the curl. Here we have collected all the Ikonomakis Hair Atelier guides on curls, from type 2A to 4C.
For anyone with wavy, curly or coily hair (types 2A to 4C) who wants to understand how it is cut, cared for and coloured without losing the natural curl. And for anyone returning to their natural texture after years of straightening.
If you do not know your curl type, start with Curl Types 2A to 4C. The type shows how tightly the hair turns, and from it follows how much the hair shrinks, how easily it dries out and how much product it can carry.
Curls are cut mostly dry, curl by curl, because a curl springs up as it dries. In How Curly Hair Is Cut we explain the dry cut, layers, the fringe and the most common mistakes. For how the cut ties in with care, see Curly Girl Method & Haircuts. The atelier service is described on the Curly Haircut in Athens page, and our approach on the Curly Hair Specialist in Athens page.
The Curly Hair Routine covers washing, product order, scrunching, plopping, diffusing, refresh and sleep.
Curls can be coloured and lightened safely when lightening is gradual. See Colour & Balayage on Curly Hair. If you want to gain a curl, see the Perm Guide. If you want to return to your natural texture, see From Straightening Back to Natural Curls.
For short answers to all of the above, see Curly Hair: 31 Questions & Answers.

The questions we are asked most often, answered to help you decide.
Mostly dry, in its natural shape, curl by curl. That shows the real length and fall of each strand, because a curl springs up as it dries.
Every 10 to 14 weeks. After that the shape gets heavy at the bottom and the curl loses height.
The curly cut starts from €55 with a Hair Stylist, from €70 with a Hair Expert and from €90 with a Master Stylist. It takes about 75 minutes and includes a hydration treatment and styling.
Wavy (2A-2C), curly (3A-3C) and coily (4A-4C). Most heads have two or three types together.
Only when wet and with conditioner, using fingers or a wide-tooth comb. Brushing dry hair breaks up the curl and causes frizz.
Yes, when lightening is gradual and the hair structure is protected. Excessive bleaching is what loosens the curl.
The new hair growing from the root has your natural curl. The altered lengths are usually cut off gradually.
