Having a long layered hairstyle can beautify your face shape. In addition, this can be done easily. If you want to keep your hair long but give it a thick and layered feel, you can try a layered haircut at home. Here is a guide for shaping long layered hair.

Step

Part 1 of 5: Preparation

Step 1. Wash hair with shampoo

Give a little conditioner, then rinse thoroughly.

Step 2. Keep hair wet, but not drenched

Prepare a spray bottle filled with water to wet dry hair to keep hair moisturized.

Step 3. Comb the hair evenly

Make sure the hair is neatly and untangled.

Part 2 of 5: Splitting and Splitting the Cut Area

Step 1. Prepare some large hair clips

Have at least 6 pins or more if you have very thick hair.

Step 2. Cover your shoulders with a cloth or towel

Make sure you cut your hair in front of a mirror.

Step 3. Use a fine-toothed comb to separate the middle hair by combing the front hair from the forehead to the front of the chin

Then, comb the section of hair on top of your head to the left and right evenly without including the middle section of hair.

Step 4. Separate the hair on top of the head until it is parallel to the ears into two horizontal sections leaving the hair at the back

Up to this point, you have separated your hair into 4 sections.

Step 5. Twist the four sections of hair and secure them with a large bobby pin

Part 3 of 5: Starting the Cut

Step 1. Remove the hair clip in the middle

Take inch (1.3 cm) of the ends of each section of hair. Twist the ends of the hair to create a new section of hair.

You don't need to pinch it right away because you'll be cutting it right away

Step 2. Comb a 1 x 1 inch (2.5 x 2.5 cm) section of hair straight up

Step 3. Tuck the hair between your index and middle fingers

Attach your thumb to your index finger to keep the hair steady and straight.

Step 4. Decide how many inches of hair you want to cut

Typically, the hair that is cut ranges from 1 to 3 inches (2.5 to 7 cm).

Step 5. Cut the hair horizontally

If you want the ends of your layered hair to be blunt, simply cut them straight and leave them on.

Cut hair parallel to the finger tucking the hair

Step 6. Continue cutting horizontally earlier by trimming the ends of the hair vertically if you want a more subtle layered style

The trick, point the scissors down so that they are parallel to the ends of the hair. Cut the hair tucked between the fingers a few cm down.

Step 7. Let the hair hang down

Step 8. Cut another section of hair at the back

Use the length of the hair cut in the middle as a cut adjustment for this back section.

These cutting sections should be triangular in shape. Your hair will appear thicker at the bottom and thinner at the top

Step 9. Comb hair straight up

Pinch horizontally then cut vertically from top to bottom. Follow the cut as in the middle of the hair earlier.

Part 4 of 5: Cutting on Other Parts of Hair

Step 1. Style the hair on the side so you can use the hair on the other side as a guide for your desired length

Step 2. Do the styling on the other side by forming a section of hair like a pie

Do this while pulling it backwards.

Step 3. Secure the front section of hair after you style it

From the front and top of your head, leave 1 inch (2.5 cm) as a guide length for cutting the back hair.

Step 4. Continue by combing the hair straight up and cutting the back of the hair horizontally

Make sure you cut it while your hair is still wet and away from your head.

Part 5 of 5: Layers that Beautify the Face

Step 1. Comb the hair in front of your face in a forward direction

This combed hair is part of the hair from the side of the ear, starting from the top of the head and then down.

Step 2. Pin the back of the hair with hair clips

Step 3. Part your hair in the middle

Step 4. From the front row of hair, comb straight up and cut 1 inch (2.5 cm) long

You may want to measure the length of your cheekbones before combing them up. This will be your shortest layer

Step 5. Part your hair back in the middle

Step 6. Position the scissors downward in front of your face

Trim the front hair diagonally down to form a layer that flatters your face.

Cut slowly and gradually so that the results are as expected. The results of drastic cuts will be very visible

Step 7. Comb, dry and style your hair
