It seems like everyone has jumped on this style trend whether their hair is straight or curly, but I’ve seen a big response from the natural hair community.

Thinking of getting yours chopped? Here are a few things to consider.

1. Not everyone is a master at cutting curly hair. Make sure you find someone who is an expert at cutting curly hair before you sit in the chair.

2. Tapered cuts require a lot of maintenance and upkeep. Ensure this is really what you want. You’ll likely have to visit a stylist or barber every few weeks – so make sure you have the time and the funds.

3. Your new cut will require just as much care as your previous style. You’ll still have to wash it, deep condition it and apply product.

4. You can always grow it out when you're ready for something new! Fun, right?
