Face-framing curly layers emphasize curls near the front of the hairstyle. These layers are designed to highlight facial features while maintaining the natural curl pattern. Unlike full layered haircuts, this style focuses primarily on shaping the front sections of the hair.
The layers begin around the cheekbones or jawline and blend gradually into the rest of the hair. This design helps prevent curls from appearing too heavy near the face. Instead, the curls form a soft frame that complements the overall hairstyle.
To create face-framing layers, begin by separating the front sections of hair on both sides of the face. Clip the remaining hair away to keep it out of the cutting area. Gently pull the front curls downward so they fall naturally.
Using sharp scissors, trim small portions from the ends while maintaining the curl structure. The shortest layer should begin near the cheekbone area. Continue trimming gradually so the layers blend smoothly into the longer hair. This technique creates a natural framing effect that enhances the curl pattern.
Idea 3: Curly Shag Layers
How to Make
The curly shag haircut introduces multiple layers throughout the hair to create texture and volume. Inspired by classic shag haircuts, this version adapts the structure specifically for curly hair. The layers are shorter and more defined, which allows curls to expand outward.
