Adopting a layered haircut may be just what your hair needs to gain a new lease of life. This cut model is a good option to give more movement to hair of all textures, from smooth to frizzy. But it is important to know well the effects of the model on the hair before making an appointment at the beauty salon, as the result can change a lot from one person to another. This depends on the characteristics of your hair, but some factors are part of the structure of the cut and, therefore, must be taken into account so that you do not regret the transformation.
To help you decide, we’ve put together 5 things you need to know about layering before you go for the look. Check out!

1) There is more than one type of layer cut
Most people associate the term “layer cut” with long hair that has movement and ends trimmed in three or four overlapping layers. However, this is just one of the models available. The truth is that the layered cut can be short, medium, long, well layered, just a few longer layers, just front layers, smooth, curly, wavy… the possibilities are endless. Therefore, always take reference photos to show the hairdresser when you go to the beauty salon. That way, he will know exactly how to recreate the desired look.

2) The layered cut distributes the volume of curly hair
Cutting in long layers can be a great option for those who have very voluminous hair at the ends, with a “square” shape. As the cut reduces the amount of strands that reach the full length, it will distribute the weight of the strands, so it is ideal for removing the reinforced effect. However, if the goal is to give more volume and movement to the hair, layers can also help; everything will depend on the technique used by the hairdresser.
The smaller layers along the length with the cut in layers in curly hair, for example, help to give lightness to the curls and, therefore, enhance volume with a rounded effect. “The model can add volume, if we make the layers and then prick up the ends, or remove volume, if we make the layers and then prick up the length to make the strands lighter”, says hairstylist and Expert K, Paulo Nunes.
3) It is possible to have a layered cut without changing the hair length
The layered cut is one of the main cut models for those who want to give a new look to their hair, but still without losing hair length. This is one of the main advantages of the cut: the hairstylist has the possibility to peak the ends and create variations in the hair’s layers without there being a difference in the base or, if you prefer, just a small reduction. So, if you are looking for a cut that maintains the base of your locks, the layered cut can be a good option to renew your look.
4) The layered cut is ideal for those who are growing their hair
People trying to grow their hair faster generally believe that the less haircuts, the better. However, this is not necessarily true. When the ends get too old, they start to break, which can create the illusion that the strands are always the same length. Trimming ends regularly helps to avoid this effect, removes split ends and encourages growth. Why not take advantage of layered hair, one of the best cuts for long hair? So you can keep the length stretched in the bottom layer and move the top ones with a graduation to revitalize your look without having to shorten your hair too much.
In addition to a good cut, it is worth investing in products that strengthen the hair fiber to reduce and prevent breakage. THE extensioniste line, by Kérastase, was specially developed to stimulate the continuous and healthy growth of the locks. The collection has shampoo, conditioner, treatment mask and scalp serum, and the formula combines 4 main actives: Taurine, which improves hair resistance; Creatine, which protects the structure and fights weakening; Ceramides, which restore the hair’s protective cuticle, and Maleic Acid, which strengthens and seals the cuticles.
5) The hair color can make the layers more visible or more discreet
The layered cut is more visible in certain hair colors, so you might prefer to change the tone of the strands when you go to the salon to adopt the model. In very dark hair, whether straight or curly, the layers are usually not as noticeable, as the overall appearance of the strands is uniform. In light hair or with highlights, the ends in different lengths are highlighted and the movement of the locks is valued. Therefore, many people bet on blonde locks to highlight the new cut and complete the transformation of the look. How about trying out the look on your next visit to the beauty salon?
