As part of my weekly website viewings, I do an in depth exploration of Sephora's website to see all the new goodies they've added. And while I'm mostly interested in the new eye shadows, liners and mascaras (when Dior Show made its debut, I all but ran to my nearest Sephora!) I occasionally check out the new hair products. Especially if they have an unusual name, like one happened to have this time around! HerCut!
Described as "hair care for your hair cut" the concept immediately intrigued me. All my life I'd been taught to use shampoos, conditioners and stylers for my specific hair type. It made sense after all. But now, I'm thinking differently. HerCut features unique styling products called "catalysts" for various hair cuts including: layered styles, blunts, bobs, shag styles and pixie cuts and according to the Sephora website, its unique formulation "impels the hair to behave brilliantly". And I suppose I can wrap my head around the idea, as a pixie cut has different styling needs than a long layered cut.
But for me personally, the only thing that will "impel" my chemically relaxed and layered cut to behave is heat. Lots of heat, to be exact. So, with my trusty Prytodefrisant and a flat iron I go to town straightening my curly hair so the layers are visible. My curls are just too tight that any cut is practically invisible and any styling product isn't going to fix that. Though, I do often give my hair a break with a deep conditioner and style it in a bun and then the layers don't matter. On second thought, they might still be obvious considering the multiple bobby pins needed just to get all my hair off my face.
Would you use a product meant for your hair
cut instead of your hair
type? Because even if we all have the same hair cut, it's going to look vastly different on each of us depending on our hair's natural texture, any chemical processes, damage, moisture levels, etc. Or what do you think?

my hair type
What a stupid marketing gimmick.
meh. my hurrr doesn't need that much stylin.
that would be AMAZING since I have short hair that neveerr cooperates...but I doubt it works
Naw man, that's ridiculous.
dang the girl on the bottle has like almost the exact same hair style as me only I have bangs.
I doubt that it works for real, Unless there is a different application process for each hair type or something, Because shampoo or conditioner does not know if your hair is long, short, wavy, frizzy etc .
I wouldn't use that particular product because I don't like the bottle, and it doesn't make sense so a double no from me.
i agree with you. you have to style based on texture, etc..not cut. strange..
hair type
lolwut.
they are not saying it's the shampoo and conditioner that are meant for your haircut it's the styling products. I read some of the reviews for "The Bob" which is my haircut and the reviews seem really positive. I think it makes total sense. My type of hair needs a different styling product than say a Pixie.
I would love to try this!
