Hair Texture and Thickness Considerations
When it comes to feathered haircuts for long hair, it’s essential to consider your hair’s texture and thickness. Megan advises, “If you have curly hair, it’s best to avoid feathering it back, especially if your hair is coarse or dry.” Feathered layers can be quite short on unstraightened coily hair, so it’s crucial to take daily maintenance and lifestyle into account. To achieve the best results, Megan emphasizes the importance of a thorough consultation with your hairstylist.
Face Shapes and Feathered Haircuts
Feathered haircuts can complement any face shape when the shortest layer is appropriately placed. Whether you have a round face, square face, long face, oval face, heart-shaped face, or any other face shape, this versatile haircut can accentuate your features and boost your confidence. Megan explains, “The greatest thing about this haircut is that it works on any face shape as long as the shortest layer is properly placed. It’s a great way to highlight your attributes and make you feel confident.”
Styling Tips and Recommended Products
Megan suggests a simple technique: “Curl the top front pieces of your hair back at a 45-degree angle using a large curling iron or a round brush.” This will add volume and give your hair a polished appearance. For added ease and convenience, many clients prefer one-step stylers to achieve volume and style their hair effortlessly.
When it comes to recommended products, Megan highly recommends the power powder by Maria Nila. This product is excellent for adding volume and texture to your feathered haircut. It helps you achieve the desired look and maintain it throughout the day, regardless of your lifestyle type. Whether you’re a working professional, busy mom, active individual, or retired, the power powder can be a valuable addition to your styling routine.
