Dry cutting has become the gold standard in curl artistry. It reveals a client’s true curl pattern, movement and silhouette, allowing hairstylists to shape with intention and accuracy. But as curly clients request more sculpted, dimensional shapes, pros agree: you cannot create these modern curly cuts without a curl-specific scissor.

 

Enter THE CURVE by ARC™ Scissors—handmade in Japan and engineered exclusively for textured hair. It's trusted by curl masters Nubia Suarez (@nubiarezo) and Reema Jaber (@hairbyreema) for one reason: it protects curl integrity while delivering unmatched precision.

 

Here are three curly cuts trending right now, and tips to achieve each look with ease.

1. Shape-Balanced Round Cut

The shape-balanced, rounded haircut creates a harmonized, circular shape that flatters almost every curl family. It’s the go-to look for clients wanting intentional lift, well-balanced movement and a silhouette that feels both soft and structured.

Round cuts reveal every detail, meaning imprecision stands out immediately when the hair is dry. THE CURVE supports this kind of shaping because:

 

• Its precision-tipped blade allows curl-by-curl carving
  

• The heavier tip acts as a stabilizer, enhancing control
  

• Its razor-sharp blades cut cleanly without pushing or disturbing curl groups
  

• The reinforced spine provides perfect tension control
  

 

Why The Curve for Dry Cutting Curls? Nubia shares, “THE CURVE was created for me, a curly hair cutter. Its precision-tipped blade allows me to carve each curl with intention, and the heavy tip acts like a stabilizer, ideal for my RËZO haircuts."

2. Soft, Airy Layers

Cutting airy layers is all about lightweight lift without bulk. Clients love airy, effortless movement, especially those wanting a shape that contours rather than collapses.

Air-cutting demands micro-refinement, seamless blending and featherlight removal of weight. THE CURVE elevates the technique with:

 

• A smooth, frictionless glide ideal for dry curls

• Clean slicing that protects curl groupings

• Precision control for contouring around the face

• The sharpness needed to keep layers soft, not frayed

3. Volume-Structured Crown Cut

Volume-structured crown cuts focus on creating elevated, structured lift at the crown, making it ideal for clients who feel flat at the roots or want height without sacrificing their length.

What Defines This Trend?

• Strong root lift at the crown

• Structured volume centered at the top

• Soft yet intentional silhouette

• Strategic interior cutting for hidden movement

• Ideal for 3A to 4B textures wanting dimensional height

To build height without disturbing curl integrity, your scissor must be consistent, stable and precise. THE CURVE delivers:

• Clean interior cutting that maintains curl identity without creating frizz

• A reinforced spine for stability through dense curls

• A precision tip for sculpting crown lift

• A glide that prevents frizz in high-visibility areas

 

This is where THE CURVE’s engineering shines, supporting intentional sculpting while maintaining the authenticity of the curl pattern.

The Tool Behind 2025’s Most Requested Curly Cuts

Today’s curl trends demand precision, intention and an understanding of how curls move. But technique alone isn’t enough; the tool matters.

 

THE CURVE is the only scissor ever created specifically for cutting curls, engineered to move the way textured hair does: coiling, springing and settling with purpose. It gives stylists the control, confidence, and artistry needed to sculpt curls at the highest level.

 

Whether you're crafting a shape-balanced round cut, designing airy movement, or building dimensional crown volume, THE CURVE isn’t just recommended, it’s required.
