Graduated layers,on the other hand, fall at differentlengths from short tolong. To achieve this look, thestylist will cut the hair at variousangles, including convex,concave, horizontal, left andright diagonal.All cuts have one or moreof these angles; the real artthough is fine-tuning themethod by either point thinningor texturising. Point thinninginvolves cutting the endsof the layers to reduce weightand allow the hair to bounceup. Texturising involves cuttingthe layers into smaller sectionsto give a more ‘choppy’ effect.The basic one layer bob isa great example of a do thatuses all the cutting methodsmentioned above. In this style,the hair lies flat with no movementexcept on the outsideline.That, of course, is just onestyle; there are countless othersand it is best to speak withyour stylist to decide whatworks best for your particularneeds. Depending on your hairtype—fine, thin, straight, wavyor curly—and how your locksreact to humidity, for example,will dictate the stylist’s plan ofattack.Q How I can add more bodyto my fine hair?A: I’ll give you a few tips butit will depend on how muchtime you want to spend onyour hair and how handy youare with it. First, after washingyour hair, make sure theconditioner does not go onthe root area as that will addweight to it. Blow dry your hairabout 60 percent and combmousse through it using awide-tooth comb, and notyour fingers, as this ensureseven application of the product.Put your head upsidedown, and using your handsblow dry your hair and oncedry, throw your head back upand move your hands throughyour hair, upwards and backwards.Spray your hands withhair spray, bring your headback down, and rub your headwith your fingertips much likea scalp massage. This helpsincrease volume in your hair asthe hairspray gives the rootsextra life while the moussethickens the shaft.Lloyd Morgan runs the LloydMorgan International HairStudio at 234 Nguyen VanHuong, Thao Dien, D2.
