“Layers release weight from the hair, so you’ll notice more bounce when styling it, especially if you have curly or wavy hair. For those with straighter hair, your layers may need to be blown dry with a round brush or finished with an iron to achieve the same look that your stylist achieved in the salon,” says Gina Scipioni, director of education for NEUMA.
The one thing to watch out for regardless of your texture is dry ends. “When you have layered hair, your ends are on full display, so you want to make sure you keep them well-moisturized with a hair oil and a deep conditioner. With proper care, layers can really brighten up a look and breathe new life into style,” she says.
