Curly hair people

I'm getting my hair cut on Friday and I always fear having it done. My hair is super long, like, touches my butt when wet, so I'm looking forward to losing some length.

I plan to keep it past my shoulders, but I always get confused on when they ask if I want layers. Layers make it more poofy right, I don't think I want that.

And my husband always says, "you just need to get it thinned out."  I think he pictures someone cutting strands of hair off at the scalp. How am I supposed to get it thinned out?

    Ditto the other ladies. Long layers work best unless you are going super short, which I do out of desperation once every few years, LOL. If you keep it all one length, or too close to all one length, the weight pulls the curl out of the top of the hair

    My hair is somewhere between wavy and curly. I always have layers cut. My hair is pretty thick and it just doesn't lay right if it's all one length. I also alternate between straightening my hair and wearing it curly, so I try to get a cut that will work

    My hair is also between wavy and curly. I have thick hair and do long layers. That seems to be the cut that makes it sit the best.
