I live it every day in my salon.

Many women arrive, almost on the verge of a nervous breakdown, because their layered cut resulted disastrously.

 

Cutting hair is an art. We, stylists, study a lot to do it and get good results.

We’re not talking about a simple trimming of the ends, which also has its complexity.

 We’re talking about a layered cut. To make it look perfect, you need to understand even the natural movement of your hair. 

 

I really understand.

You wanted a layered cut to look prettier and to give your mane another movement. However, when you look in the mirror, you don’t recognize yourself.

You feel it’s not your style. Also, you don’t know how to style your hair. The strands seem to have taken on a life of their own.

Do you know what’s the worst mistake women make when they get a haircut?

In most cases, we decide it driven more by our emotions than by logic.

 We get a haircut because we change jobs, suffer a disappointment in love, want a change, or a before and after in our lives. 

Then, you make the wrong decision: to cut your hair.

 

As you don’t want to waste another minute, you watch a few tutorials on YouTube, take a pair of scissors, and make the first cuts on your hair.

After a few minutes, you realize that a layered cut wasn’t as easy as you saw on YouTube.

And in those moments, you realize that you can’t turn back the clock. The hair that was cut can’t be reattached. It’s as simple as that.

 

However, there’re some solutions.

I’ll ask you for something you didn’t have when you decided to cut your hair in layers, and it turned out to be a disaster.

I’ll ask you to be PATIENT and STAY CALM because the solution is on its way.

What are you willing to do to fix a bad-layered cut?

 

How to fix the bad-layered cut with a few trims

I know. I know you were hoping to see your hair layered, loose, and bouncy. But that’s not what you got after the cut.

Even if your hair is fine, it looks like you have less hair than before.

Have you had a layered cut, and it looks like you have the mane of a big lion?

 

Calm down, take another breath, and stay calm. I have a solution for both cases.

 

Blunt and thin the layers

This will help you disguise any severe lines. It’ll improve the texture of the hair and eliminate any unkemptness.

Are you worried about losing more hair length?

 

Forget it.  It’s not about cutting lengths. It’s about smoothing out the layers, thinning out those parts that may have been too pronounced, and making the layers look thinner. 

Now, what lesson have you learned after you layered your hair and it was a disaster?

 

Besides regretting it, I hope you learned that the best thing you can do for your hair is to get professional hands.

I advise you   to get professional help for a layered cut to avoid regretting any more mistakes or sacrificing more hair inches. 

You’ll spend a few dollars but the results will be satisfactory. If you don’t think so, look at your hair and make your decision.

 

Now, if you don’t want to feel a pair of scissors near your hair for a long time, or if you’ve had a bad experience with a stylist, which can always be the case, you’ll have to appeal to your creativity. What for?

 

4 tips to disguise a bad layered haircut while it grows out

In case you want the pair of scissors to stay away from your hair for a while, you should appeal to creativity.

And if you think you don’t have it, here I am to become your inspirational muse. Of course, you’ll also need to have a few elements at hand.

 

Ready to give that bad layered cut a makeover?

Let’s get started.

 

Use braids

If your hair is short, you can innovate by doing some short, thin braids for style.

 

Accessorize your hairstyle

There’re many options. From buckles, headbands, hair clips, scarves, and hats to those amazing berets worn by Kpop stars.

All these elements will help you to shape up your hairstyle while the layers grow out.

 

Curl your hair

It can be a permanent curl. In that case, you’ll have to go to a professional because perming is a professional technique in which chemicals are used.

If you don’t want the curls to be permanent, you can use a curling iron or even a flat iron to create cute and fun temporary curls.

This waving option will help disguise the unkempt layers of your hair.

 

Use a wet look hairstyle

It’s a great option, and you’ll only need to use hair gel. Always apply the gel to damp hair and comb it back.

You’ll notice a huge difference, and you won’t even remember the bad-layered cut.

 

Conclusions

When faced with a bad-layered cut, you have two options: either you can straighten the layers by thinning them with scissors or you can style your hair using accessories, gels, or even curling for darling curls.

If you choose to thin the layers, I advise you to go to a professional to avoid sacrificing inches of your hair.
