Curly Hair Experts

Embrace Your Curls!

Curly hair requires a specialist approach.
Shape, balance, moisture, and long-term hair health all need to be considered — not guessed.

At Wigs & Warpaint Hairdressing Salon in Sheffield, our curly hair specialists work with all curl types, from loose waves to tight coils, focusing on how your hair behaves, moves, and grows over time. Every appointment is tailored to your individual curl pattern, density, and lifestyle, ensuring consistent, predictable results.

Whether you’re embracing your natural curls, refreshing your shape, or learning how to care for and style curly hair properly, you’ll be looked after by experienced professionals who understand curls as a discipline — not a trend.

The Best Curly Hair Products

Curly hair performs best when products support its natural structure, moisture balance, and strength — not when it’s overloaded or masked.

At Wigs & Warpaint, we use professional curl-focused products chosen for consistency, performance, and long-term hair health.

Goldwell Curl Care

We work with curl-specific shampoos, conditioners, and masks from Goldwell, selected to support hydration, elasticity, and scalp health across all curl types.

Goldwell’s curl care products help to:

maintain moisture balance
improve curl definition
support elasticity and bounce
prepare curls properly for cutting and styling
These products create the right foundation for healthy curls, both in the salon and at home.

Wigs & Warpaint × K18

Curl Regeneration Cut

We’re excited to introduce the Wigs & Warpaint × K18 Curl Regeneration Cut — a specialist curly hair cut supported by advanced molecular hair repair.

Curly and textured hair can be more prone to internal damage from colouring, heat styling, environmental stress, and everyday wear. This can affect strength, elasticity, and how well curls hold their shape over time.

K18 uses a patented peptide designed to work at a molecular level, integrating with the hair’s keratin structure to help repair damage within the hair fibre. We’ve been genuinely impressed by the results, with many clients noticing immediate improvements in softness, strength, and curl behaviour after the first treatment.

The Curl Regeneration Cut is ideal for curls that feel:

dry, fragile, or weakened
inconsistent in shape
stressed from colour or heat
harder to manage than they should be
By combining specialist curl cutting with molecular repair, we’re able to create shapes that sit better, style more easily, and last longer between appointments.

How to Book

To include K18 with your appointment, simply add K18 as an upgrade when booking your curly hair service through our online booking system.

If you’re unsure whether the Curl Regeneration Cut is right for your hair, our curly specialists will always advise during your consultation.

Healthier hair cuts better, styles better, and delivers more consistent curly results over time.

Honest Product Advice

We don’t believe in overloading curls with products or pushing unnecessary routines.

Our advice is always:

curl-appropriate
realistic for everyday life
focused on long-term hair health
The goal is curls that behave well between appointments, not just on the day.

Know Your Curls

Understanding your curl pattern is an important part of achieving healthy, well-shaped curls — but it’s only one piece of the puzzle.

Curly hair is commonly grouped into Type 2 (wavy), Type 3 (curly), and Type 4 (coily). As the number increases, the curl pattern becomes tighter and more compact. This classification helps guide cutting, styling, and product choice, but it’s never used in isolation.

When assessing curls, we look at more than just curl type. Density, growth pattern, shrinkage, and how your hair behaves as it dries all play a role in achieving a balanced, predictable result.

If you’re unsure about your curl type — or feel your hair doesn’t quite fit into a category — we’re always happy to help. A consultation with our curly hair specialists allows us to understand your hair properly, create a clear plan, and ensure you leave our Sheffield salon with curls that look and feel their best.

Curly Hair Consultations

Curly hair requires more than a standard consultation.
Every curl behaves differently, and understanding how your hair grows, moves, and responds over time is essential to achieving consistent results.

A curly hair consultation at Wigs & Warpaint allows us to assess your curl pattern, density, condition, and lifestyle before any cutting or treatment decisions are made. This ensures your curls are shaped correctly, supported with the right care, and easier to manage between appointments — without relying on quick fixes.

Beyond technique, our consultations are about giving you clarity and confidence in your hair. We offer honest advice, practical guidance, and realistic routines that help you work with your natural texture, not against it.

The aim is simple: curls that feel manageable, predictable, and genuinely yours — every time you leave our Sheffield salon.

Best Cuts & Styles For Curly Hair

Great curly haircuts are built on structure, balance, and an understanding of how curls behave over time — not trends or quick techniques.

At Wigs & Warpaint, curly cuts are carefully planned to work with your natural curl pattern, density, and growth. The aim is to create a shape that sits well as your hair dries, grows, and moves, so your curls remain balanced and wearable between appointments.

Styling is approached with the same care. We focus on enhancing natural movement, definition, and consistency, rather than forcing curls into a finish that won’t last at home.

Our approach prioritises:

shape that grows out well
definition without heaviness
movement rather than stiffness
styles that are realistic for everyday wear
The result is curly hair that looks considered, controlled, and true to you — not overworked or trend-driven.
