What are invisible layers? | Abingdon | Didcot | Wantage | Oxfordshire

It depends on how you identify ‘better’ and when compared to your needs. Different types of layers support various hair types in different ways. For example invisible layers don’t work well if you want a structured style like a wold cut where the emphasis is on very short and choppy layers. These layers offer a highly fixed but stylistic choice if you need something ‘bold’ whereas invisible layers are much more effective if versatility and a natural cut is what you seek. However, if you prefer something softer and more natural-looking, invisible layers tend to be the preferred choice. If you’re considering invisible layers, here are the standout benefits:

• Natural look: Invisible layers create movement without the visible “steps” of traditional layers, making them look effortlessly blended.
• Maintenance: Because they grow out more seamlessly, you won’t need to visit the salon as frequently to keep them looking good.
• Volume: Traditional layers can sometimes remove too much weight from the ends, making hair look sparse. Invisible layers retain more density while still adding shape.
• Versatility: Whether you prefer a sleek blow-dry, tousled waves, or natural movement, invisible layers adapt well to different styles without looking overly ‘layered’.

Traditional layers are arguably more favourable in some cases so it is worth working with your Stylist to decipher which type of layers can work for you. This can be dependent upon your hair type, texture, lifestyle and anticipated maintenance.
