Find a barber who has experience with cutting afro hair.
Scissor cut.
Round, long layers.

The top needs to be isolated from the back and sides at the beginning of this haircut.
The hair should be pulled out at 90 degrees to establish the preferred length.
For afro hair, your barber should cut off less than actually anticipated, as the hair always shrinks after drying.
A round layer is taken at 90 degrees, from the headshape, over the whole head. This keeps a symmetrical shape.
The hair is towel dried and then a bit of nourishing shine oil worked through the ends.
The hair is then dried naturally.
To finish, the hair is teased out with a pintail comb.
Use a curl cream to add moisture to the hair and define the curls.
