“I want layers, but keep the length”—we’ve all heard our clients say this a million times. That’s why the long layered haircut will keep your books filled and your clients coming back. Here’s what we’re seeing on the 2021 trend radar: shorter layers that frame the face, often paired with ’60s curtain bangs and blowouts that accentuate the layered look.
Part the hair as desired, then take one piece and over direct to the opposite side. Then, slide cut using the “Pinch & Talk” method. This technique will help form and accentuate the soft detailing of the bangs. Remember it’s always good to cut longer first—you can always go shorter!
