If you have curly or coily hair, you have likely been told that the only way to get "shape" is to "thin it out" or "de-bulk" the weight. Often, this is done with a razor.

Now, don't get us wrong - in the right hands and on the right hair type, the razor is a brilliant tool for creating effortless, lived-in shapes. But when it comes to the delicate architecture of a curl, there is a fine line between a great shape and a structural disaster. At Anthony Talbot London, we often see the results of "too much razor" at our Neutral Bay salon: frayed ends, unexplained frizz, and a loss of that natural, bouncy volume that makes curly hair so beautiful.

Here is why over-razoring might be the enemy of your curl integrity, and why we choose a different path.
