Q. How do you decide on the right layers for your hair type?
A. Ideally your hairstylist should be able to recommend the best type of layers for your hair. But it also depends on what kind of haircut or hair length you want to go in for. If your hair type is straight and fine, first decide on the length you want to keep it at and then ask your hairstylist accordingly to identify which type of layers will work best for that haircut length. If you have curly hair, you need to be more careful with who you choose as your hairstylist and even once you find a stylist, you have to converse with them to check their knowledge about cutting curly hair and ask them what kind of layers they recommend. Do your research and if you are happy with their answer, proceed with your layered cut.
Q. Do layers add volume to the mane or reduce volume?
A. It can do both. It all depends on what you want your altered haircut to do. There are different layers to help boost volume and make your hair look more fuller. There are also layers that help reduce the volume by taking off excess weight which is ideal for thick hair. Some layers are purely for texturising your mane. There are many different types of layers and techniques for cutting them for haircuts that stand out.
Q. How to decide if one should go in for a layered cut or not?
A. Layered cuts are more versatile and easier to manage as opposed to straight blunt cuts. If you have ideally straight hair and the blunt cut you want is supposed to be razor-sharp then that is a good choice too and you can decide on whatever style you like. But, if you have wavy or curly textured hair, your best bet is with layered haircuts as these styles will help you manage your hair way better.
