Marrying Hair Texture with Style
Layered haircuts can do wonders to rejuvenate your look, according to Kathleen Medina. Just take into account your hair texture. If your hair is fine or thin, she suggests a shoulder-length cut with a fringe. In the case of thick hair, a long pixie cut works wonders. And for those dealing with aging hair, a short, curly, layered haircut could be the answer.
Your lifestyle, the amount of time available for hair care, and what makes you comfortable in day-to-day life should also influence your haircut decision. As per Medina, the best pick is a style that suits your routine.
Choosing Cut According to Face Shape
Medina also advises that your face shape plays a key role when opting for a layered cut. If you have a round face, layers near at jawline could elongate the face. As for square faces, soft layers around jaw and cheeks might soften the face lines. Layers that add width at cheeks and chin may help balance a longer face shape.
If you have an oval face, almost any layered cut may suit you. Avoiding too much volume at crown would keep it in balance. Graduated layers framing the face suit a heart-shaped face well by adding fullness at jawline.
Consultation with a hairstylist before making such a decision is the best course.
Styling Tips and Product Picks
Styling your layered hair can be fun, versatile, and personal. Medina has a list of tips and product picks for you to explore:
- Volume Boost: Lift and fullness are key, so consider a volumizing mousse or root-lifting spray. Medina recommends Kendra products, Bumble & Bumble ranges, Oway, or Innercense.
- Texturizing Spray: This product enhances the texture of layered hair. Medina suggests trying brands like Amika, Oribe, or Ouia.
- Soft Styling: Soft waves or curls highlight the layers and add dimension. Medina recommends Bumble & Bumble here, as it works with your hair density and texture.
- Lightweight Styling Cream: Medina’s favorite lightweight styling cream is from Kenra Texturizing. It can define your layers without a stiff look.
- Finishing Spray: Set your style with a light-hold hairspray. Medina recommends Wella’s EIMI workable finishing spray.
