A short layer haircut is cut to your desired length. Then shorter layers are added to create texture and a tousled look. This is a good option for a low maintenance haircut that leaves more length than a fade haircut. It works for both textured and non-textured hair.
Apply a gel evenly to damp hair. Using a medium heat setting, blow dry the hair. When hair is mostly dry, part hair, and finish drying, using the air flow to direct hair where needed. If desired, finish the look with a little bit of pomade or an extra gel for a more textured look.
Start with dry or damp hair. Brush through hair with a pick to detangle. For tighter curls, apply a gel, curl enhancing cream or serum and scrunch or twist into hair.
Love this haircut? Here's what to tell your stylist so you can get this look.
“I’d like a short layered haircut to create texture. I’d like to part the hair to the side.”
If you’re uncertain about how short to go, consult with your stylist about the best length that would suit your child’s hair type and face shape. Discussing options such as asymmetrical layers or a more uniform cut can also offer a fresh twist on the classic short layered style.
