Cutting: Fine hair types come in a wide range of wave patterns, from completely straight to very curly, and because of this, there is a need to know how to create blunt and layered cuts in fine hair. As a general rule, the straighter the hair the less layering should be used when it comes to fine hair. Curly hair – on the other hand – is prone to the “pyramid” effect if not layered and allowed to grow out to longer lengths, so layering is important to balance the amount of bulk and create a flattering silhouette. If the hair is only mildly wavy, you should consider keeping your layering stepped and the layers shallow within each step. By avoiding steep layering, you can prevent the fly-away and wispy looks that are all too prevalent in fine hair types. This is also true when dealing with straighter hair and trying to instill some volume and body into the cut. Curlier hair can withstand steeper, graduated layering, since the curl and volume will help to diffuse the cutting angles. Just remember to pay attention to the hair’s elasticity and the bounce of the curl. Because the hair is fine, the length can readily pull out the existing curl, and you may find that simply removing an inch or two in length causes a dramatic increase in curl and therefore the hair appears much shorter than intended
