Layers for Frizzy Fine Hair
When I get long layers, they look okay for a while and then start to look thin and straggly after a couple of months like I actually need a hair cut! I am trying to keep my hair long e.g. the length is about 2 inches past my shoulders.
The last time I got my hair cut my hairdresser advised me to grow out the layers and suggested she put in concave layers, cutting bluntly. These were okay but I lost bounce and definition to my hair and it looked strange with the shorter part looking more full and wavy than the long part which just hung. Should I grow the layers out a bit more and just layer the last inches or so? If so what do I ask for?
Using ‘box layering’ allows you to have the hair avoid that “straggled” look as it grows and it evenly distributes the bulk so that you can have plenty of movement throughout the hair.
Even when the hair is being layered you want the stylist to “club cut” the ends rather than to texturize them or razor cut them. Texturing techniques and razor cutting on fine textured hair (especially wavy fine hair) only leaves the hair to look sparse and tatty as it grows out. Club-cutting keeps the layers evenly distributed and will help the look stay better-looking longer.
