Layers for fine hair | Abingdon | Didcot | Wantage | Oxfordshire

Layers are sections of hair that are cut at different lengths, creating depth and dimension. Unlike a one-length haircut where all the hair is the same length, layers when introduced to fine hair provide increased movement and when done well create volume. Layers can be subtle and soft or shorter and more dramatic.

For fine hair, long layers create the illusion of thicker hair and in longer layers, volume with layers also helping to encourage the hair to move more freely.

Long or short, layers can be applied however the key is the style you look to achieve. Layers can be soft, flowing nicely to add movement or harsh and aggressive though any length of layer can be applied to most haircuts. The key is what your motivation is, what look you hope to achieve and what shape you are looking for.

Layers also act as a point of interest; preventing fine hair from appearing too flat or limp. As a rule of thumb, soft layers generally aren’t restrictive and the pros far outweigh the cons. They’re low maintenance, still allow you versatility with stylist, aren’t restrictive and they look great. Shorter layers for all hair types can look great, but they offer a more specific style which may open doors to styling but close others off.
