What is a Rezo cut and how to style it?

The Rezo Cut (officially known as the RëZOcut) is a curly hair cutting technique designed to maintain volume, texture, and shine of curly hair while preserving even length around the head. Here's an overview of the Rezo Cut and how to style it:

About the Rezo Cut:

  • Purpose: The Rezo Cut is intended to optimize the volume, texture, and shine of curly hair, aiming to limit breakage and encourage length and volume.
  • Cutting Technique: This method is performed on dry hair and involves 12 equal sections, a diagonal angle cut for reducing bulkiness at the roots and ropy texture, and a "Versus" face-framing cut for styling versatility.
  • Inspiration: Invented by the creator of the Rëzo Method, Nubia Suarez, this cut was inspired to cater to the challenges of managing naturally wavy, curly, and coily hair types.

Styling a Rezo Cut:

  • Aftercare: After receiving the Rezo Cut, follow a proper washing and styling routine to maintain the intended volume and shape.
  • Roping and Finger Curls: To style, use roping (twisting sections of wet hair around the finger to create defined curls) and finger curling to enhance the curl pattern.
  • Hair Products: When styling, use curl-specific products such as curl activators, defining creams, gels, and hold sprays to define and maintain the curls.

Considerations:

  • Curly Hair Types: The Rezo Cut is suitable for naturally wavy and curly hair types starting from 2B curls, and it works well for a variety of curl patterns.
  • Self-Styling: Some individuals have found success in self-styling their hair following the Rezo Cut technique, using products like hydrating shampoos, creams, and shears for at-home trimming maintenance.

Remember, individual results and experiences may vary, so it's still recommended to consult a professional stylist who specializes in curly hair for the best results tailored to your specific hair type.
