Short Layered Hair: Variations On
Standard Short Haircuts
There are many different
varieties of short hairstyles and haircuts. One variety that
is a variation on the standard short haircut is short layered
hair. Some people think to have layers, your hair has to be
long but this is not the case, even short haired individuals can have
short layered hair. Another variation of short layered hair includes
long layers and medium layers. The varying lengths of layers
can be found in short hairstyles, which means one person can have
overall short hair but it can look longer due to graduated layers that
have more length in them (or varying lengths).
Layered haircuts come in a variety of styles. When one
chooses to have a layered haircut it is important to make sure the
layers will be complementary to your hair type. One would not
want layers that make hair too thin or too thick but may want layers
that provide a flexible middle ground. Remember, ask your
stylist if the haircut is appropriate for your facial features and your
particular hair type (thin, thick, average).
One popular short layered hairstyle is the bob. The bob can
be cut at an even length or layers can be added to offer a variation on
the style. This style probably allows for the most variation
in the length of the layers. The deciding factor for the
length of the layers is how short you want your hair overall.
Remember to ask your stylist for opinions on the different varieties if
you are uncertain of which layered bob would look good on you.
The razor cut is another short layered hairstyle. The razor
cut offers a choppy look which can have layers added for variable
lengths. Layers add a more textured, voluminous look to the
style. In the razor cut, a razor is used to cut the hair as
well as shape it at the ends. Sometimes scissors are used and
a razor is used to shape the ends. The style may not be for
everyone - especially if you have fine hair. This style does
tend to thin out the look of your hair. Make sure to ask your
stylist if this is an appropriate cut for you.
A pixie cut can also have layers in it. A pixie cut is short
to begin with but with variation it can have short to long
layers. Keep in mind that with really short hair, your facial
features will be accentuated. If you do not feel comfortable
with that then these short layered hair cuts may not be for you.
