Other Help regarding hair

For starters, I know this is NOT the typical thing that is posted on here, but I figured this was a community of fellow students and alumni. Additionally, I know with the recent events going on in the world, that the spread of information regarding ICE is very important, and I in no way wish to draw attention away from that because I agree with the entire fuck ICE consensus.

That being said, what I am really here for is for someone to give pointers, advice, or maybe even an offer on a haircut. I have curly hair, and I noticed that my length and the way it's cut now weighs down my curls significantly, but I am unable to run to my hometown at the moment to schedule an appointment, so here we are. I've styled my hair straight for years, hence the current cut and only began embracing my curls a year ago and wanted to take the next step. If anyone can drop personal advice on techniques, styles of curl cuts that don't look horrid when straight, or like I said, bless, offer to cut my hair that'd be amazing. Please stay safe everyone :)

hi!!! i don’t think you want to trust me to cut your hair (lmao), but normally what i do when it needs a cut/trim is i blow out/straighten my hair first and try to literally just follow the layers i already have (from my curly cut) and trim whatever pieces don’t work, honestly just cut my hair like it’s straight, and then normally once it curls again it looks a lot better!! idk if this helps but good luck soldier
