Razor Cut Layered Hairstyles

Razor cut layers can add so much volume and movement to thin hair types, but thick hairstyles can also benefit from them as these are great for thinning, reducing bulk from hair, making it lighter and easier to manage.

Razor cuts work best with straight hair, rather than with curly or wavy styles - whether it is short, medium or long, this method can give softness to a style, or even creating sharp lines that give locks lots of edge.

Using a razor instead of the scissors can have many advantages. A razor will slide through your hair removing only the bulk.
Your strands will have the ability to move deliberately.
If opting for razor cut layers, you'll have to sacrifice length to get more body, so that hair will become lighter and easier to style.

If you spend a lot of time outdoors or at the gym, a short cut could make your life so much easier – by opting for razored layers, you'll only need a bit of gel and your fingers to create a look with lots of texture and movement.

A shag-like bob with razored layers is perfect for medium-fine, straight strands, while fairly thick hair can get unblended layers that deconstruct a shape and create volume and width.
