A razor cut shag with wispy layers and curtain bangs are great on straight hair. Using a razor on this classic cut creates multiple lengths with each swipe of the razor. Razor cutting is similar to point cutting or cutting with texturizing shears, as it diffuses blunt ends. It helps create the look of blended layers with less effort. Stylists, remember to always use a fresh razor on each cut. Fresh razors slide easier through the hair.
#36: Medium Layers with Subtle Highlights
Consider medium layers with subtle highlights if you want something easy, low-maintenance, and flirty. Finely highlighted hair has the ability to make the color of all of your hair lighter. The finer the pieces of blonde, the lighter all of your hair will appear. Sometimes the highlights get lost because it blends so well. Try bigger stitches when foiling you’ll see more dimension, especially when you run your fingers through your client’s hair.

#47: Wispy Blonde Hair with Disconnected Layers
Rock wispy blonde hair with disconnected layers if your hair is on the thinner side. I take an interesting approach to disconnected layers on fine, thin hair.

This technique keeps the thickness on the bottom of your hair and adds layers and volume to the top.
#48: Modern Shaggy Lob with Fringe
A modern shaggy lob with a fringe is a haircut with lots of choppy layers. To keep this style full of volume, your stylist may use a technique called slide cutting.

When it comes to understanding the importance of maintenance, Amber Wishart, a stylist from Barrington, IL, explains, “Things go south when the client isn’t properly educated on how to style and maintain their new haircut. For example, short-haired women need their styles modified every 4-6 weeks, while longer-haired women need it every 8-10 weeks.”
With layers, hair care products are a must. Wishart recommends the use of Keune Precision Powder. This product has a matte finish and a low hold which creates lift and texture, suitable for all hair types.
Above all, she reminds us how vital it is to choose your hairstylist, stating, “If a stylist isn’t giving you a thorough consultation, go for one who will.”
