The technique is easy enough for anyone to master.
Start with clean, dry hair. Brush out and divide into sections from left to right before cutting each out and trimming to ensure an even surface—comb and trim after every quarter to ensure its evenness.
Layers
Layers are an easy and effective way to give thin or fine hair an instant volume boost while simultaneously removing weight from thicker strands. Plus, styling them isn’t difficult at all – part your hair down the center or side (your choice!) and grab an inch or so in front where the shortest layer should fall before cutting a few strands into that section to complete this look!
Regarding layers, there are two primary styles: step cut and feathered. The critical difference lies in how visible the cutting line is. When creating a step cut, a stylist elevates each vertical section until an even flat line runs throughout your locks. With feathered cuts, there is more of a wispy texture for those seeking a romantic, carefree style.
The Unicorn Cut
The unicorn cut is an easy and cost-effective way to update your look without the expense and time commitment of visiting a salon. Following its steps properly will make this task relatively straightforward, while care should be taken to ensure smooth and smooth-metrical results from any missteps along the way.
This style is ideal for anyone with an extended face shape as it helps visually shorten it. This look adds fullness and layers to their hair for added volume and body.
To achieve this look, brush and plait your mane into a high ponytail at the center of your forehead/hairline. Tie securely using a ponytail holder. Next, start point-cutting your ends! This will create baby bangs as well as shorter face-framing layers. Additionally, you should notice a soft V-shape and round fullness throughout your back hair!
Bobbles
If you have watched any DIY haircut videos on YouTube, chances are you have seen bobbles everywhere. This technique provides an easy and non-destructive way to add layers to your hair without going too far – it involves buzz cutting around specific areas of your head.
To do it yourself, scrape your hair into a ponytail before cutting straight across (using scissors or clippers). The result will be choppy graduated layers perfect for bob or lob haircuts, softened further by point cutting at the ends.
The Pixie
Are You Ready to Join the Cropped Trend Train? Pixie Cuts Are An Excellent Choice
Short, textured layers add an asymmetrical shape to this pixie cut, giving it a stand-out style. Perfect for making an impactful statement when worn with darker hues like platinum. If you want something playful to play up your look even further, try teasing or backcombing for added sexiness or add texture with mousses and hairsprays sparingly so as not to oversaturate it with frizziness.
