Ladies, What are the advantages and disadvantages of having layers cut into your hair? My hair has thinned out so much in the past few months that I'm seriously contemplating asking my stylist to give me some layers the next time I relax, just so that I can have a decent looking style (with some fullness) when I wear my hair out.
I just don't want to regret it, cuz I know how hard it can be to grow them out!!
Advantages:
*adds volume to flat hair
*removes bulk and weight for those that have alot of hair or very dense hair
*versatile styling does't just "lay" there like someone with a blunt cut (all one length)
Disadvantages:
*depending on how short they are can take forever to grow out
*don't always grow out well
*sometimes don't look good if not always styled
*If too many layers or too short can make an already light density hair look like its thinning.
Me personally my hair is ov light to medium density. So I want enough layers that will give me some body especially when I wet set but not to much that they make my hair look "thin" when its straighted out. Right now my hair is in rounded layers and it works well for me especially when i curl it. I have a pear shaped face so I need some height and volume.
If I was you I would personally do long layres or when your stylist cuts your hair make it crystal clear that you don't want the shortest layer to be SIGNIFCANTLY shorter than hte overall length. The shorter the shortest layer is is in relation to your overall length the more layers you are going to have.
