I've read that the way most stylists are taught to cut curly hair is flat-out wrong - apparently, the standard method is optimized for being able to straighten the hair, rather than having curls that look good.

That is absolutely correct in my experience. It is hard, as a curly person, to find a good stylist, which is why until two months ago, I was still getting my hair cut in Kansas even though I live in Vancouver, BC. (The one in Canada. Yes, really.)

Now I'm working to train my current excellent stylist that yes, I do actually have to wash my hair every day, and not washing my hair is really not an option (allergies). But at least she cuts my hair so it looks great.

I can't really use product (allergies) so straightening was never an option for me.
