‘Invisible Layers’ Is The ‘It Girl’ Cut Of Summer 2019

‘Invisible Layers’ Is The ‘It Girl’ Cut Of Summer 2019
Instagram

Unlike wrap dresses and MAC Cremesheen lipstick, there’s no such thing as a ‘universally flattering’ haircut. Reason being that texture and type of your tresses (e.g. thick, fine, curly, wavy or dead straight) will determine what suits you best. There is, however, one exception to this rule: “invisible layers.” Aka, a celeb stylist-approved trick for nailing effortlessly tussled, cool-girl waves à la Alexa Chung, Selena Gomez and Chloe Grace Moretz. 

"The most modern variation of layering is a slight angle around your face, usually starting around your chin and working its way down to the length," hairstylist to the stars Alex Brown told Glamour.

The idea is to keep the layers long and seamless to add texture and volume. The result? Movement sans sacrificing length.

"Blending the layers is very important—they have to be cut properly to look seamless," added Alex. "Using a technique to remove weight from the ends will make the layers appear very soft and blended."

Bonus: this cut also helps to enhance the definition in your face.

"How the hair frames and hits your face can completely change your overall face shape," Alex continued.  "I love a layer that hits near the cheekbone to accentuate it."

Need more convincing? We’ll just leave these here…
