Most hair experts will admit that they prefer to cut hair wet because that's when they see the hair in its natural form. But there are other theories gaining popularity in salons here and abroad. Some say dry cutting ensures a cleaner cut and causes less damage to the hair. Then there's another school of thought that advocates a mix of both. Choosing between wet and dry or wet to dry depends on the hair texture , the choice of technique and the desired result, according to hair experts.
