A haircutting technique to add volume and shape, here’s what to know before you cut invisible layers.
, ready for my first fringe and soft shag cut, I was surprised to find out the type of layer you request can make all the difference: in my case, invisible layers.“Invisible layers are very different to standard layers,” explains Paul Percival, founder of award-winning British salon brand. “You create invisible layers by cutting into sections of the hair, removing some of the layer. This means there are no lines or definite layers visible.
“Many people don’t understand why invisible layers exist. If layers are cut well, you shouldn’t see a line in the hair, right? Well, if you have fine hair, invisible layers give you a little ‘scaffolding’. Leaving shorter pieces of hair under the sections gives the hair natural bounce and volume, especially in. There are not many things you can do to give thin hair volume, but invisible layers help give a natural lift.
I have naturally curly, fine hair that has undergone years of heat and chemical manipulation. Cutting into the hair from underneath added volume that doesn’t look awkward or out of place when my hair isn’t blow-dried or tonged. Instead of feathers that would curl into a Christmas tree-esque shape when natural, invisible layers gave my straight hair volume and my curly hair shape.
“They work well for thick or for fine hair,” says Percival, going on to describe that they have different purposes. “For thick hair, you remove hair from the top of each section to reduce volume; whereas, with fine hair, you cut the sections from the underneath which helps to increase volume. “If you have thick hair and find that your hair feels heavy, the great thing about invisible layers is that they remove weight and make the hair feel more manageable. It’s a very clever technique because it can make thick hair feel lighter and add movement and texture.”Spicy bronde, Malibu blonde and dopamine shades: these are the 6 most popular hair colour trends for autumn 2022“They can, but really, invisible layers work better on shoulder length and longer hair,” says Percival.
