Modernize your look with a layered haircut

Cutting your hair is a serious issue for many women. After all, it is a time of change in appearance that can even come to mark major changes in personal life: a new job, the end of a relationship, the birth of a child, the celebration of another year of life.

For Joyce Rocha, visagista at Corsica Studio, the haircut demonstrates personality. Therefore, when choosing your hair style, in addition to considering what can best adapt to your hair type, it is also important to take into account what suits your personality best.

In addition to defining moments of change and being a great sign of the person’s personality, the cut also has very practical influences in life, from the time it will take a person to fix their hair to how they will behave in everyday situations – such as days strong wind, for example!

An option when passing the scissors on the locks is the layered cut, which, because of its possibilities, can adapt to different styles. It is possible to adopt different models, varying in length, in the amount of layers and in the base of the hair according to the desired effect. To make the right choice, Joyce’s tip is to pay attention to details. “You have to take into account the shape of the face, the density of the hair, the style of the person, how they will do their hair on a daily basis. Well, if you don’t match the personality with the cut, it can be too aggressive or too dull”, comments the professional.

Throughout this article, you will find tips and inspiration to bet on layered cuts, as well as a selection of videos that teach you how to do the cut alone and without leaving home. Check out!

Layered cuts to inspire

People with hair of any length can throw themselves into the layered cut! This type of cut makes it possible to change the look without interfering with the length of the wires, which is ideal for those who want to bet on a new cut, but don’t want to lose even an inch.

“The layers serve to give lightness and disconnection. This cut can be used to add volume or even reduce it, depending on the case”, points out Joyce.

Here are some tips and inspiration for layered cuts of different types.

short layered hair

Anyone who wants to invest in a bolder and more modern look can identify with the short layered length. “Usually people with short layered hair are modern people, and this cut makes them look very elegant,” says Joyce.

The visagista’s tip is to unravel it well to give it a better fit and for the hair to “fit in”. She also indicates that those who have the thickest thread bet on cuts made with a razor or razor wire scissors.

Layered medium cuts

Medium layered hair can look more elegant and sober, without leaving aside the touch of modernity and movement. “Medium layered cuts are suitable for people who like a little volume and whose hair has difficulty growing”, points out the professional.

When cutting, the shorter the layers, the thicker the hair. Therefore, Joyce recommends for those who don’t want to give too much volume to the lower layers: “with razor wire scissors, thin out the ends well to give that touch and fall out smoothly”.

Long layered cuts

Anyone who doesn’t want to give up the long strands but wants to update the look can find themselves with a layered cut! Layers can help soften the image, taking away the feeling of “heaviness” and giving the hair more movement.

Because of its size, long hair allows for more layers, which can start right at the top or closer to the ends, depending on the desired effect. The more layers, the bolder and more modern the cut. Joyce’s tip is to raise a lot and bet on the shorter front.

Layered cuts with bangs

The layered cut also works well for those with bangs! You can choose either to combine the layers with a straight fringe or with a longer fringe, thrown to the side. This type of cut, in addition to being modern, brings a more youthful air to the look.

6 reasons to adopt a layered cut

The layered cut is quite versatile and can be a great alternative for those who want to change their look. Check out some reasons to invest in style!

1. It is possible to change the cut without changing the length

Tired of your cut but don’t want to keep your hair shorter? Or want to get rid of brittle and dry ends without a radical change in length? So the layered cut is a great choice: it is possible to make a super difference in the look without losing the current length of the wires.

2. Gives movement

The layers make the hair lighter and take the “flat” look out of the strands. The cut adds dimension and movement – ​​whether in straight or curly hair, with a brush or natural. To activate the movement even more, the secret is to perfect the submission.

3. Enhances curls

The layered cut effect is great for curly hair! Those who like volume can take advantage of the cut to make their hair more voluminous. It’s also a good alternative to make curls more defined: the weight of the hair can make them look more diffused and the layers help them to regain their shape.

4. Helps to add volume

A layered cut can work wonders for volume in straight or curly hair. In addition to taking the weight off the strands, layers create the effect of fuller hair.

But, those who already have hair with volume and don’t want to emphasize this feature can also cut in layers! “In the case of voluminous hair, the ideal is just to use the layers at the ends so as not to increase it and not leave it with frizz”, says Joyce.

5. Makes the look more modern

By itself, the layered cut modernizes the look and leaves the look more stripped, regardless of the length of the wires. Those looking for an option to update the look but don’t want to or can’t be too bold in color or length will find a good alternative betting on layers.

6. Highlights the lights

The layered cut is a great ally for those who have (or want to do) highlights. Layers help to bring out the nuances of the hair and enhance the color even more.
