Scared layers will make your long hair look thin? Start with the hair around your face.
Scared layers will make your long hair look thin? Start with the hair around your face.
Many people save layered-cut photos, then sit in the salon chair and just say, "Only a trim, please." Layers can make the ends feel lighter, and no one wants to lose the length they grew.
Face-framing layers (페이스라인 레이어드) add layers only to the hair around your face, from the bangs to below the chin. The back and the ends stay almost the same, so from behind it looks like your old hair. From the front, the side hair falls at an angle and softens your face line.
A full layered cut adds layers from the crown to the back, so all your hair moves lightly. Face-framing layers keep the thickness at the ends, so they suit fine or thin hair and anyone who wants to keep their length. If your whole head feels puffy and heavy, ask about thinning or full layers too.
Where the layers start depends on your face shape. Long face or high cheekbones: start at the cheekbones. Square jaw: start at the jawline. Round face or first-time layers: start at the collarbone.
In the morning, you don't need to wash your whole head. Wet only the side hair down to the roots, dry the roots flipped the other way, then roll a round brush away from your face and blow from top to bottom. Finish with cool air.
A tip from our designers: instead of "Layers, please," tell us what to keep and what to cut, like "Keep the back length, cut the sides from the jawline." Decide together if your bangs should connect to the sides.
